Dale and Brennan face the inevitable, getting beaten up by the bully and his friends, all of whom are adolescent kids at the local schoolyard. The kids make the two grown adults do unforgivable things. You can watch the clip here at your own mercy.

The scene evoked a chorus of laughs from the team, which inevitably got the message: Don’t get embarrassed at MetLife Stadium.

“It was a scene where the bully kids make Will Ferrell eat the dog poop on the ground, the white dog poop,” Giants center Weston Richburg said. “And, from my experience watching the movie, Will Ferrell goes back later in the movie and beats up the kids that made him eat the dog poop. We just need to get up and move on and go, and keep going.”

On Sunday, the Giants host the Baltimore Ravens, who started the season 3-0 and are currently experiencing a two-game skid.

“That this team’s gonna come in, they got some veteran guys, they’re gonna be bullies,” offensive guard Justin Pugh said about the message being sent by McAdoo. “But this is our house. This is our stadium. We set the tone, and we gotta come out and do that early in this game.”

“Basically [what] he said was, ‘They’re gonna try to come in and try to bully us,’ ” return man Dwayne Harris said. “We’re at our house, and we gotta come out and just play like it’s our house.”

Then again, maybe McAdoo didn’t have any latent message for his team. Wide receiver Victor Cruz said he believes the clip was shown just so that the team could decompress after a rough three weeks.
