This Saturday Night Live sketch features Will Ferrell as Hormuz Jeff, a self-proclaimed expert boat operator who offers an exclusive, albeit absurd, shipping service through the Strait of Hormuz (0:10-0:18).
Key highlights of the service:
- The Strategy: Jeff claims he can navigate the blocked strait because he has nothing to lose and feels no fear, due to an incident years ago where he dove into a shallow swimming pool (0:22-0:34).
- The Boat: He uses the Hormuz Hornet, a 22-foot party pontoon modified with six Yamaha racing motors illegally welded to the back (0:45-0:56).
- Operations: Jeff will ship anything (except animals, which "crap in the boat" and can't handle his speed) and uses tactics like driving in a "wild zigzag" and blinding drones with paintball guns to avoid detection (1:07-2:29).
- Communication: Potential clients must follow a highly complicated and suspicious process to reach him: they must use an app called Texto, which is only accessible after downloading a "phantom browser" called Peeler (1:38-2:07).
