Because screaming and general buffoonery = comedy in America.

When I tell people I don't like him they give me a look like I just killed their grandma. It's ridiculous

>implying mugatu isn't the GOAT comic villain
>>
>>62809196
Because even though 99% of the films he is in are shit, he has decent if just a little one-noted, comedic chops.
>>
>>62809196
c'mon dude, if this guy is not funny who is?
>>
He's 6'3".

If he was 5'9", he'd never have a career.
>>
Hes ok, i mean i enjoyed stepbrothers alot, that being said he is overrated and his movies all generally follow the same formula. He is a hell of alot better then some other "comedic" actors like Rogen and Kevin"im a loud negro" Hart

He's no Danny McBride, but he's alright.
>>
>>62809282
He was good in Zoolander forgot about that
>>62809289
I agree, i also personally found him funnier in SNL more so then in his movies.
>>
>>62809196
it's not so much what he's saying as it is how he's saying it. And him and John C. Reilly have a spectacular way of feeding off each other's energy. I absolutely LOVE Stepbrothers for this. It's stupid infantile humor but they're both so into it you can't help but laugh
>>
>>62809294
what if he was 3'6" instead of 6'3"?
>>
>>62809354
>I love Stepbrothers

What a pleb

>I only enjoy pseudo-humor for patricians like Brazil
>>
>>62809381
he meant their chemistry as actors, not the writing
>>
He keeps character well.

He's really good at intonation

He can switch between the funny man and straight man easily.
>>
>>62809426
funny you say that, because brazil was definitely more humorous than any of the shit ferrel was in.
>>
>>62809196
My only problem with this statement is he's literally the best improv comedic that has ever been filmed to the point it's almost not even subjective.

As >>62809305 put it. Who is better? I literally can't think of a single person. Maybe Ben Stiller when he was at his peak?

I think the problem with Ferrell is people who are ignorant towards the on screen comedic process don't "get it." I agree he often hams it the fuck up for mainstream audiences, but the guy has a track record of professors and coaches predicted he was destined for greatness. He single handedly carried SNL on his back for years, has very few flops. He's wittier and more original than all other comedic actors, plus he's a good actor and he's fucking goofy looking. What is the problem? Sure he's not doug stanhope or norm macdonald or whoever but they can't carry movies worth shit.
>>
He was good in the Lego Movie and good in Elf. Most normies adore him because of Elf.
>>
call me a normie but Step Brothers and Anchorman were hilarious
>>
>>62809196
Because the first Anchorman was funny enough for him to serve up shit for the rest of his career and still be huge.

It's similar to how Sandler killed it in the 90s so now he just makes horseshit and people still love him.

Elf
Old school

Wedding crashers

Step brothers and elf where funny the first time, probably wouldnt rewatch
>>
>>62811802
Anchorman 2 was much better than Anchorman as a comedy and a film though. Plus Ferrell has critically acclaimed hits. Sandler has no such thing. Not really a good comparison at all.
>>
His best film was Night at The Roxbury
COME AT ME.

Punch Drunk Love?

that movie is so fucking unfunny. The only funny part is that guy who keeps accusing people of grabbing his ass even when they're across the room

He had nothing to do with that film outside of his role though. That shit was 99% PTA.

Just letting you know, you didn't really counter his argument

He works in doses.

Not that guy but the wedding scene is probably one of the most memorable scenes in SNL film history.

>>62809354
I wish he would/would've done more movies with John C. Reilly. I love Step Brothers and Taladega Nights so much

This

Also

Because you don't like him. Humor isn't objective faggot, and you can't say he's not funny. Obviously he is funny, or otherwise he wouldn't keep getting work. Have you not seen Old School? What about his guest star role in the office?

You can all go die in a fire. Quality film right there.

This is basically what it comes down to and I think people don't know or forget. He pioneered so many styles of humor that are now mainstream because of him. He was literally the main driving force for progress in comedy throughout the 00s. Hating Ferrell is almost akin to hating a movie for tropes that it invented.

tl;dr You can take practically any popular or somewhat obscure comedy show/movie today and find examples of Will Ferrell's influence.

You don't know comedy

Is that the one where the person is writing what happens to him? Couldn't really understand that one but i loved him and nicole kidman in Bewitched

>Is that the one where the person is writing what happens to him?
yes
>Couldn't really understand that one
what's not to get?
>>
>>62812999
Is it like a supernatural/god figure controlling his life or it it like a truman show/reality show thing?
>>
>>62813127
It is a supernatural coincidence that whatever she writes happens to him.

She thought she was writing a fictional character, but then he contacts her and she freaks out.

Thanks I'll have to watch it again
