Debate going on at work: Was Anchorman a funny movie? Its in my top 3 of Will Ferrell movies, another guy says its at the very bottom. Lets hear your opinions

 

Ron Burgundy not funny?!?!

Blasphemy....

I watched Stranger Than Fiction again the other night. It's a pretty good movie, definitely a different role than he's usually cast in but he did a great job in it.

Step Brothers and Old School might be my 2 favorite Will Ferrell movies, I'd have to look at a full list though...

 

Can't/won't tolerate Will Ferrell.
He is NOT funny.

I did sit through "ELF" w/ my wife, though.
Thank goodness it was on TV. I put in my headphones and listened to music on my laptop while she watched that defecation of a movie.

 

Don't care for W. F. at all...though ELF with the Grand kids every year is tolerable.

Wouldn't pay 10 cents to watch his stuff.

 

Same here. That type of stupid humor doesn't appeal to me at all. To me, there's no humor, just stupid.

I did see that racing movie he did, Ricky Bobby or something like that, because my son watched it on TV.

I thought Anchorman was hilarious, one of the better Will Ferrel movies, but note that it had a lot of other funny people in it too. Talladega Nights (the Ricky Bobby movie) is up there too. "The Other Guys" with Mark Wahlberg is probably my favorite Will Ferrell movie; that movie ended up being way funnier than I thought it was going to be.

I can see why a lot of folks don't like him though; he does do a lot of stupid humor and it doesn't always work. I can't stand Elf.

 

Bufoonery. Some moments of humor, but a lot of his stuff is almost painful to watch.

Don't care much for him otherwise.

 

I'm not a fan of Will Ferrell either. His style of comedy is terrible. His acting is terrible. And, he has this thing about being partially nude in just about all of his movies...

Strangely enough, though, I've always thought he'd make a better "serious" actor than a comedic one.

 

I have to be in the right mood to sit and watch Will Ferrell.

 

Wow, I didnt realize so many folks werent that fond of him

 

Right?!?!

I guess I'm just easily amused. Airplane! was one of my favorite movies growing up (born in mid 70's)...

 

That's because Airplane! actually had some talent backing it up. There was Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Robert Hays, Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, and Barbara Billingsley, amongst others...

Speaking of Barbara Billingsley, that "Jive Lady" bit was classic...

 

Can't stand WF.......Talledega nights was tolerable though, mostly because of the other talent backing him up.

 

He ain't funny. He's got some kind of screw loose. Seriously.

 

Not a fan either. Gets under my skin
