Cause “Blades of Glory” wasn’t QUITE a bomb enough for you. Oh, and lest we forget “Talledega Nights.” Oh, and the masterpiece that was “Kicking and Screaming.” Yea, I know - I had to look that one up too. :rolleyes:
Now there’s THIS? ? Are you KIDDING me? Another half-wit non-athletic protagonist who think’s he’s the bee’s knees learns to love and be loved. Gag me. Jackie Moon Must Die.
I give you a few kudos, though - the Roxbury character on SNL? Priceless. I always thought that bit was funny. The UnaBomber Ted Kazinsky as “normal guy?” HILARIOUS. Your Harry Carey impression made me laugh till I choked on my own spit. And, honestly, your James Lipton was impeccable. That weird singing guy with the Cheri Oteri weird singing lady? Pure hilarity. Need I mention the Spartan Cheerleaders?
No, I needn’t.
The point is those were BITS. SKETCHES. FIVE MINUTES OF FUNNY.
Taking the SAME character and resurrecting him in different sports arenas? Yea. Not funny. Old and stale. Yet I still watch - like passing a car wreck. You’re never really quite sure HOW bad it is until you’re right on top of it. By then it’s too late, and you have no other choice than to keep going. This is how I amassed my affinity for “Zoolander.” Oh, and Ron Burgundy. Him too. Car wreck. HAD to watch to the end. Twice. God save my soul.
Look, bow out gracefully. Enough is enough. I know ya gotta eat and all, but for crissakes man, must we ALL be subjected to this mindless crap year after year afer year? I don’t know how you do it, but I’m compelled to sit and stare at your films like a mindless drone. Do I laugh? Hardly. Do I feel unclean and violated 90 minutes later? Usually.
Like a smelly pirate hooker, even. Back to my home on Whore Island I go.
GAH! :smack:

Damn you, Ferrell. Damn your fetid soul to the very bowels of Hades.
oh my. That movie looks truly awful. This is a rant I can get behind.
I was shocked that I liked Elf and Curious George, but then those aren’t SNL characters regurgitated. I really think it’s his goal in life to churn out as many bad movies as humanly possible.
I agree. Adam Sandler had this problem too. A funny movie or two with basically the same protagonist and formula, and then it becamse three movies, then four . . . eventually, they stopped making money and he stopped. I’m sure that will happen for Will Ferrell also.
If that truly is the case, then I willfully banish myself to the Center of the Earth, while digging my eyes out with a teaspoon. To the planet Earth and its inhabitants, I apologize.
I haven’t watched any of those, except for Ron Burgundy… and that only had 3 laughs in it. What’s so truly sad, is he’s FAR better in quirky roles and movies such as these:
Yes, of course! But she was talking about the “weird singing people” first. I’m assuming she meant the ultra-square middle school music teacher “Bobbi Moughan-Culp”.
Sorry, I can’t get enough Will Ferrell. I wasn’t ever the class clown, but I admired and wanted to be that guy when I was growing up. Ferrell is that guy. I don’t care if they just roll camera and let him fuck around with props and idiot motifs – the guy is just so over-the-top that I enjoy it. It’s not sophisticated and it’s not belly-laugh stuff. It’s giggles and titters and getting away with being a doofus. Ferrell is the kid who’ll crack up the whole class and piss off the teacher, then let us nerdy outcasts sit with him at lunch. I love the guy.
If I were Will Ferrel, and producers kept throwing money at me to appear in bad films, why should I turn it down? Take the money, and retire when it stops coming in.
I have to admit I realy enjoy WIll Ferrel, but I can understand why some folks would not like him. I find him hilarious even in his secondary roles suach as Mugatu in Zoolander and as one of the bad guys in Austin Powers.
