Mugatu Spits Out Drink (Zoolander)
Jacobim Mugatu (Will Ferrell) spits out his drink all over his assistant in shock during the 2001 film Zoolander.
This Mugatu GIF is perfect for reacting to shocking news, hearing something unexpected, being caught completely off guard, disbelief, or doing a classic spit take.
The spit-take is a classic comedy reaction, and Mugatu’s exaggerated personality makes the familiar gag fit naturally into Zoolander’s over-the-top world. Will Ferrell turns the sudden surprise into a highly visual reaction that works just as well without dialogue.
Mugatu is one of Will Ferrell’s earliest major movie characters, arriving shortly before his run of starring comedy roles in movies like Elf and Anchorman. His outrageous costumes, distinctive hairstyle, and unpredictable behavior helped make the fashion designer one of Zoolander’s most recognizable characters.
Zoolander GIFs capture the movie’s exaggerated characters and absurd comedy, with Mugatu’s explosive reactions providing a perfect contrast to Derek Zoolander’s (Ben Stiller) confident cluelessness.
