I haven't talked to Will in years, but I'm pretty sure he said his father was a musician.

He still calls Dan Patrick pretty often. Weekly during football season.

Not to hijack the thread with personal mumbo jumbo, but I think I am 1 outta the 10 people that think Will Ferrell is anything but funny/comical. I just don't see why so many people think he's funny.

He's very hit or miss with me, more miss than hit. Some of the stuff he does is pretty damn good though.

I was just watching Semi-Pro last night. I'm not sure why I like that movie so much. It might be his biggest commercial failure too. I laugh throughout the movie. It's about the same to me as Blade of Glory.

Just spill it. This thread is toast.

I agree that Will is hit or miss. But, in my opinion, Step-Brothers, Anchorman, &, most of all, his character on East Bound & Down are all pure comic gold.

Google knows all... "Roy Lee Ferrell, Jr. is an American musician, best known as the keyboardist and saxophonist for the band The Righteous Brothers, which he joined in 1967".


Browns is the Browns

... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

Count me in that 10. I don't dislike Ferrell the person, but I consider him talentless.

Re: Step Brothers -

The dinner scene at the beginning and the bunk bed scene ("Do you like guacamole?) are enough to make the movie worthwhile.

Frank the Tank is one of my favorite characters in any movie.

Ron Burgundy is not.

Hah, cool fact.

Ferrell is best as Trebek in Celebrity Jeopardy on SNL. The last time he hosted he didn't reprise the role, though

Old School is one of the underrated comedies in the last 15 years. Tons of well known actors in it too, aside from Vaughn, Wilson, and Ferrell, you had Elisa Cuthbert, Ellen Pompeo, and Jeremy Piven.

I don't think that he's all that funny either. Most of his movies are just really stupid.

Maybe it's Yup'ik? (the language spoken up here)

If it's Yup'ik the pronunciation would sound something like yyyyybuuuuuuu.

The closest I can come up with is the sound a person makes when they are in the same room as GM when he passes gas.

The first time I saw a Chili Peppers video I thought it was like a joke, Will Ferrell sitting in on drums.

I like Will Ferrell a lot more in supporting roles than in starring roles. That said, I did like "Stranger Than Fiction" quite a bit, and I found "The Other Guys" to be pretty enjoyable as well.

Anyone who doesn't think Ferrell is funny or his movies are funny is absurd. That is all.

Different strokes for different folks. For the most part, I don't find him to be funny.

That's the thing about comedy, it's very subjective.

I've never found Mel Brooks to be funny but a lot of people love his comedy. I've seen Ferrell be very funny and I've seen some of his humor as stale and hokey.

So I can actually see how some would love him and some wouldn't care for him.
