I keep hearing "He is soooo funny!" and I've given him plenty of opportunity to be so but, I'm beginning to think he really belongs in my other thread entitled
Fingernails on a chalkboard

Anchorman was funny for about the first 3/4ths.

I think he's funny in very, very small doses but after that he's just annoying. Kinda like fistful.
Or Jim Carrey.

His misses certainly must include Me, Myself and Irene, (such poor taste) and the Ace Ventura stuff.
Will Farrell is just another ho-hum also-ran. The first 20 years of SNL was great. Since then, it's just plain sucked, and the actors have become less and less talented. Farrell and
who did Night at the Roxbury? ...have just jumped on the latest comedic formula bandwagon: Do a reasonably popular comedy skit, IMMEDIATELY parlay it into a big-screen bowel movement, and cash the "paltry" $1.4 mil. payday for your future financial security.HoHum. Wish I were so un-talented.

He makes me laugh. I don't know if that's talent or if we just have a similar sense of humor. And I don't care. If you don't think he's funny, that's just you. Maybe you like George Carlin, Robin Williams and Steve Martin. I don't.

Maybe the military will order some of those plates for the pimped-out cars teenagers for to associate with military service, as opposed to dying in Iraq.
Who decided he could be let off the editorial leash?

The same folks who let him (initially) publish the names and addresses of all the concealed-carry permit holders in the State of Virginia.

Ace Ventura was a damn funny movie. Ace Ventura II was just a compilation of the worst sound bites from the first one. Also, Courtney Cox looked really good in that first movie.
"Hey Ace, you got any more gum?"
"No, and I'll thank you to stay out of my personal business!"

But then both Adam Sandler and Jim Carey have grown from less than funny moronic clowns to failry accomplished and quite competent actors - Sandler in particular has done so. Maybe there's hope for Ferrell.

"Come again? You know I don't speak Spanish. In English, please. What? You pooped in the refrigerator? And you ate the whole... wheel of cheese? How'd you do that? I'm not even mad, that's amazing."
"Todd! Are you not aware that I get farty and bloated with a foamy latte!? "
Alex Trebek : French Stewart? The sound a dog makes.
French Stewart : Um... Who is John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, thank you very much. I'll take Animal Sounds for 800.
Alex Trebek : No. Good lord. We would've accepted "bow wow" or "ruff."
Sean Connery : Oh, rough. Just the way your mother likes it, eh Trebek?
Willenholly : Oh my God. I'm paralyzed! That monkey shot me in the ass and paralyzed me! Oh sweet irony!
Okay, I'm done.

Carey:
Robin Williams, just 20 years younger. RW/JC can only play two characters: manic and depressive. Manic is OK the first 3 or 4 times you see it. Then it is just a re-hash of 30 year old RW material. Depressive is wrist-slashing time. Keep the suicide hotline on speed dial.
Sandler:
The only thing he has done that was not a complete waste of time was The Wedding Signer. Everything else can be tossed int othe river.
Ferrell:
Unfunny, no-talent hack. 'nuff said.

John Belushi, John Candy, and Sam Kinison. "Talent on loan from God," as Rush would say...that got called in by the lender.

Kinison - definitely the funniest comedian ever IMHO. Unfortunately a careless drunk who died in a blaze of glory just like he lived.The other two - a waste of oxygen when alive - one too stupid fat and brain fried to live and the other too fat and stupid to know how to swallow his food.
Darwin triumphed over all three.

Kennison was stone cold sober when his car was hit by a vehicle traveling the other direction and in the wrong lane ... and driven by an intoxicated seventeen year old. Kinison's autopsy showed slight traces of cocaine in his system. The concentrations were so small they could have easily been caused by ingesting a single poppy seed muffin, but it was enough for the kid who killed him to get off with a minor traffic ticket.

Excellent question. Maybe ppl are afraid of being haunted by the ghosts of those whom they criticize.

Jim Belushi was cooler than Farrel. He was great in the Blue Brothers. I agree that Farrel is good in small doses. An entire movie of him is hard to take.

No, that would be John Belushi in the Blues Brothers. Jim Belushi to this day hasn't reached the audiences his late brother John did.
