How do you feel about Will Ferrell

Post by Jorge »

I love the guy and am always surprised when people express hate for him

Where do you stand on Will "the Feral Ferret" Ferrell

I find him to be consistently hilarious. Arguably the best SNL cast member ever. Several of his bits on late night shows, viral videos, and guest spots have brought some of the deepest laughs.

Seems like a nice dude. He hasn't made a movie I like in awhile.

I'm not sure that his former default schtick ever did much for me. But overall I really like him. When he isn't doing incompetent yelling (which can certainly be funny "MA ... MEATLOAF!" always gets me for some dumb reason) he's a gem. I like his range. I really like the oddball movies he's done that lean dramatic -- or more dramatic than I ever expected from his SNL days. Stanger Than Fiction is a good example.

So, yeah, I like Will Ferrell.

I dig him. Anchorman is a fucking classic. As is More Cowbell. Those two right there earn him enough credit with me to produce a clunker every now and then.

(Currently enjoying him on Eastbound and Down. He was a pleasant surprise.)

I think Talladega Nights is underrated. The whole cast is just on fire.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Old stuff is still funny, but I haven't seen him in anything actually funny since either Drunk History or Eastbound and Down either.

He had a nice run as that guy who makes everything 50% funnier just by being in it (like Sandler, Carey, Stiller, Carell, maybe McCarthy), then his shtick got stale, now I actively avoid most things he's in. I can't remember the last Ferrell movie I actually finished. Daddy's Home, maybe?

That being said,
