WTF Happened to WILL FERRELL?

  • As comedian Will Ferrell walked across the magnificent stage of The Kennedy Center to accept the greatest honour an American funny person can receive: The Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, something happened that made us all remember why he is getting this prestigious honour. The award instantly slipped from Will’s hilarious fingers, shattering this legendary humorist’s bust all over the floor. An obvious gag, that was so damn fitting to what Will represents in the history of the art of doing silly stuff. Without breaking character for a second, Will hilariously tries to pick up the pieces as the world just sits back and laughs… but not laughing at him; we are laughing with him. The appeal of Will Ferrel comes from his innocent attitude that elevates simple stupid jokes to performance art. As Mr. Ferrell once said, “What I recognized when I started doing comedy was that I'm probably not the wittiest, not the fastest on my feet, but the one thing I can guarantee is that I won't hold anything back.” And that funny philosophy of not holding back put this man on top of the comedy world, delivering hit after hit before he hit an inevitable wall.

    "Stranger than Fiction" is Ferrell's most underrated performance, and shows that he's great at playing low-key, understated characters.

    If I had a penny for the amount of times that Will Ferrell has played a corrupt businessman in a movie based on a popular toy line, then I'd have two pennies. Which isn't a lot, but it's odd that it's happened twice.

Hilarious

    His humor is hilarious. Whether he's playing a cheerleader, an elf, Alex Trebek, shooting himself in the neck with a tranquilizer gun or just being interviewed while completely ignoring the bird on his shoulder.. Doesn't matter, he always kills it. And he does have acting chops which can be seen in Stranger than Fiction. Another comedic great from my favorite group The Groundlings.

    I loved when he was on the Office. It was only a couple episodes, but it was a good time

    Your videos are great, just a suggestion for editor: dont use the radio eq filter on the quotes, it's infuriating :D

    6 days and only one comment about kicking and screaming? That film is just as funny and well produced/directed as Old School, Talladega Nights, and Stepbrothers. With the great cameos by Mike Ditka, Phill Lewis, Kate Walsh, Martin Starr, and Robert Duvall, it's Old School for the aging frat-boy audience's young children.

    Will Ferrell is just the newest "guy who always shouts", replacing Jerry Stiller.
