Do you know anything about Will Farrell?

Wow, and just yesterday, I was discussing the news anchor street fight with my boyfriend.

Weird..

Well; good night, you drunkard.

Wonderful story. Compelling and rich.

I remember when he was on here in Philly. For a while he and Beverly wore black turtlenecks with no jacket while doing the news. Weird.

I can't understand why people would say such things....I haven't watched a will ferrel movie that wasn't funny...maybe ferrel stole a part teddy was gunning for?

Anchorman didn't make him famous, bub.

I was terribly amused at Ron Burgundy, but it's one of those rare movies that made me laugh more the second time I watched it.

Same here - I was sort of "meh" the first time but on second viewing I about died laughing.

Bill Bonds FTW, with the added bonus of his cameo in "Escape from the Planet of the Apes "
Link (new window)

as for LA, much has been covered how Jerry Dunphy(with a dash of Hal Fishman?) was the inspiration for The Simpsons' Kent Brockman. A friend was @ the studio the night he got shot by gangbangers, said it was pure chaos

George Putnam, inspiration for Ted Baxter on Mary Tyler-Moore;

Oh Audrey - His corpse looks like hell! It's got bags under it's eyes. What's that? Well if you were a man, I'd punch you. Punch you right in the mouth. That's bush. Bush league. YOU HEAR ME? AUDREY! LOOK AT IT! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Alright?

Good God!! His wife shot herself in the chest as Ron lay next to her. Wow.

I knew people who met Ron Hunter in Chicago.

The biggest take away is he had a physically huge head on a tiny body, that got bigger with the huge hair styled on it in the 1970-1980s.

He had the perfect look for TV. A human bobblehead.

Agreed.

/What? I think Will Ferrell sucks. So sue me!

Wow.

You're entitled to your opinion, but Anchorman didn't shot Ferrell into stardom.

It's a little known show called Saturday Night Live.

I'm Ron Burgundy?

Put me in the 'Will Ferrell movies suck' catagory as well. While you are at it, put me in the 'Mike Meyers movies suck' as well.

Put me in the "I think the guys in this thread are doucheturds" category.

Archie Godwin: I know, how dare somebody try and make people laugh for a living.

I commend Will Ferrel for that much, but I really don't like his approach at all, personally.

/I mean, yelling at babies, puppies and old people? I don't get it.

 
Paulistinian 2008-06-29 02:41:01 PM  
ciararavenblaze: I mean, yelling at babies, puppies and old people? I don't get it.

WTF that's the definition of hilarious! Aren't you on fark.com right now? You should know these things and live by them, Jebus.

 
Spaghettiows 2008-06-29 02:42:21 PM  
Anchorman was pretty good but most of Ferrel's movies were pretty crappy. Nothing against the guy, he can be funny but the material has to be good.

Kind of like the first Austin Powers, which was pretty good too, but most of Meyer's other films, including the Austin Powers sequels, were mediocre.

 
Dwight_Yeast 2008-06-29 02:55:52 PM  
I thought Ron Burgundy was based on Larry Kane and a couple other Philly news anchors from the 70's.

I will. Thanks for the idea. Any excuse to drink scotch.

Quasar [TotalFark] 2008-06-29 03:49:58 PM  
The inspiration behind a terrible movie passed away. Ah, well.

The only good movie Ferrel's ever headlined was Stranger Than Fiction. He worked in SNL because his style was hilarious in small doses. As the lead in a film it's painfully stupid.

I just saw a billboard for yet another Ferrel/Reilly film. Enough already. Christ, Talledega was awful. Walk Hard looked awful. Why do we keep needing more of these movies made?

Put me in the "as long as you don't marry an asian woman because it's universal buddy, the sex becomes less frequent no matter what nationality" category

Has there ever been another guy more annoying and unfunny than Will Ferrell?

I don't believe you.
