Dear Will Ferrell:
Hi. You seem like a totally nice guy. I bet you’re a lot of fun to go drinking with, and I hear you’re very good to your fans. That’s awesome.
You are also one of my all-time favorite SNL cast members. In fact, you are probably one of the only good “new” cast members (except for my hetero-crush, Tina Fey) and one could actually make the argument that your departure was the final nail in the SNL coffin. You were also great in those late-90s SNL movies, such as Superstar.
You know what other movie I liked? Old School. It was witty and offbeat, and you were hilarious in it. Plus, the entire movie wasn’t just you saying off-color and oh-so-quotable things. Good job!
And then you did Elf. Now, as much as I hate Christmas movies because I hate Christmas, and Christmas cheer makes me want to punch a Salvation-Army-bell-ringing-money-collector in the face, I really liked Elf. Again, I thought you were excellent in this movie.
Then, you did Anchorman. And you know what, Will Ferrell? This was the end of my liking for you. I thought Anchorman was crap. I didn’t think it was funny at all, and I swear to God, there was a point at which if I heard ONE more person say “I’m kind of a big deal,” I was going to jump into the Monongahela River. I mean this sincerely, and with all my heart.
Then, Kicking & Screaming, which, according to IMDB, had a working title of Untitled Will Ferrell Soccer Comedy. Then Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby which had a working title of Untitled Will Ferrell NASCAR Comedy. Well geez, Will. I guess there’s something to be said for a formula that works, but how many sports can you actually make the exact same movie about?
Silly me. There is no way that you’d do more than two of these ridiculous, “crude humor” movies.
Enter Blades of Glory. Christ. How wrong I was.
What I’m saying is, OH MY GOD WILL FERRELL, GIVE IT A FUCKING REST, PLEASE.
Thank you.
Love,
kT

KT,
I agree. Anchorman blew chunks. Hard, stinky chunks.
I was IN NYC when they were filming ELF and saw where they were setting up for the big "Christmas Carol" scene at the end of that flick. "Elf" is the "Christmas Story" of the past few years. It has become a classic of that degree.
I have yet to see Talledega Nights, and Blades of Glory. You do know that he has a "goof ball" basketball flick in the can.
Hopefully he won't become as unfunny as Adam Sandler has in his last few installments.
Trap
To be honest I find Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler as funny as a rabid dog biting my arse (funny for other people, granted). I kind of liked Adam Sandler in earlier movies but then he just started making the same movie over and over again.
Ferrell was good in Zoolander because he was a supporting actor - there is only so far one-trick ponies like these guys can go before you wanna take em out back and put them out of their hammy misery.
that video from funny or die is hilarious. the little chica is the cutest thing.
Will's next movie is about Basketball. Wonder what that will be like?
THat video should restore your faith in WIll. IF not then Pearl.
