    only in a supporting role. He tries too hard to be funny.

    Never found him funny. I avoid his films as much as Adam Sandler's & Bill Murray's.

    Utterly unfunny in everything he's done.

    And I think he knows it too, why he makes tons of movies.

    lol Bill Murray is awesome. I'm pretty indifferent about Farrell, like Anthony said he's good as a support guy, as a lead he's a bit much.

    Who do YOU think is funny? I mean, besides Hitler and the "Fuck Her Right In The Pussy" guy?

    This thread isn't about other people Noby, it's about Will Ferrell.
    Take his most recent 'magnum opus': an entire movie based on squeezing as many homophobic gang-rape jokes in as possible, offset with some 'ironic racism'.

    But I'm actually going to back-track here and state that I didn't mind 'Talldega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby'

    He can be funny but I only like him in small doses. Better suited to sketch comedy (or supporting roles like Anthony mentioned) than feature length films. He could be tedious even on SNL, although not entirely his fault as they really overused him.

    Yeah it was definitely the most 'reined in' performance I've seen from him and it really worked. Very underrated film that.

    All involved other people that he needed in order to make his humor work. Ferrel wasnt even the funniest thing in Step Brothers

    The worst is when he is just left to improvise. You can tell when he is doing it.

    IMO he wanted to be like Chevy Chase but never could get it going. That being said he is much more successful than Chase so take that as you will.


    Has anyone seen that baseball shit he did on HBO? Holy hell he thinks he is so much more funny than he is.

    I tend to hate comedies. They tend to be silly, juvenile ridiculous stuff.

    Most good comedy film is generally ensemble work. Ferrell's not a stand-up comic, he's a performer.

    I thought he was funny, but the concept kind of sucked. I wish they let him play more baseball, instead of watering down how long he was able to stay on the field because of some sanctity of game bullshit. It was fucking meaningless spring training bullshit, let him play the field for more then one out at a time.

    that was it, he did one play and then they traded him. Im like where is the humor? If maybe they let him make some plays and shit. But i found it be a complete waste of time.

    Yeah but they dont generally have others that are funnier. John Reilly is always funnier than Will when they are together.

    Then you would love The Birdcage. It's a comedy about fags.

    Ferrell and Kevin Hart are equally annoying at this point. Both of them are funny in small doses as supporting actors, but as the leads they're both extremely annoying and tiresome.

    Word. All of those "funny" guys are annoying. Robin Williams was as annoying as fuck (RIP), Adam Sadler, Ben Stiller, Steve Carell....they are all annoying fucks. I even detest that motherfucking Jason Bateman.

    Strangely enough though...I can tolerate Jim Carey...who's the silliest of them all....but he's unique in his silliness and I appreciate it.
