Jeez, doesn't anyone else find Will Farrell tedious, loud and boring...

[WCGreen]

I just don't get why he is seen as humorous.

[Myrina]

1. I can't STAND him.

Every thing I've seen him in, he reminds me of George W Bush.

[Xyzse]

2. In many ways... Yes, I do.

Sometimes it can be funny, but generally, yes... Yes I do.

[NV Whino]

3. Yep. Can't stand the guy.

[NewJeffCT]

4. I don't like him, either

more obnoxious than tedious & boring, though.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

5. for the most part, yes. ugh.

[JCMach1]

6. Can't stand him at all... even when he was on SNL

[dawg]

7. I think all of you Will Ferrell haters should get down on your knees, bow your heads, and ...

ask the eight-pound, six-ounce, newborn little baby Jesus to forgive you.

[mokawanis]

8. Love me some Will Farrell

I've watched Anchorman and Talladega Nights several times, and I loved him on SNL. I'm honestly a little surprised everyone doesn't find him to be hilarious.

[ok_cpu]

20. Don't forget about Wedding Crashers

[csziggy]

9. It's as though he took the worst of Chevy Chase and magnified it

While Chase did some good comedy, he went in a direction I just couldn't stand. Farrell seems to have started from Chase's bottom level and dug down. I hate the promos for his movies and have never watched even a few minutes of any movie he's starred in.

The ads Farrell is doing are so bad I don't even know what he's trying to sell - as soon as they come on, I change the channel.

14. he's selling a movie and oversized vehicles

It's a demon-spawn of cross-promotion - Ferrell promotes a sequel to Anchorman (a movie with less to its premise to carry a single movie, let alone a sequel, too) by plugging Dodge vehicles in character.

[Wounded Bear]

10. Modern comedy in general kind of leaves me flat...

Will Ferrell is just a reflection of that. I certainly would not go out of my way to watch one of his movies.

But then, like I said, modern comedy has largely died in my eyes.

[Jenoch]

11. I have never seen a Will Farrell movie,

and for the same reasons I have never seen an Adam Sandler Rob Schneider movie. I can't stand to watch any of them.

[ashling]

19. Same here

[Incitatus]

21. If you have never seen them in their movies, how do you know you can't stand their work? nt

[Jenoch]

23. I did not say I have never seen any of their work.

[Callalily]

12. Can not stand the him.

If I know he is is a film or sketch I make a point to ignore it.

[Electric Monk]

25. Ah, proof reading...

[KamaAina]

13. What you say has considerable merit

However, there are some roles for which tedious, loud and boring is right. (i.e. Ron Burgundy)

There are a lot of roles that are right for Jim Carrey's over-the-top mugging, too.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

15. I thought he was mostly flat on SNL but some of his movie work I've enjoyed. Like...

...Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Step Brothers.

[Sheldon Cooper]

16. I liked him way back in his early SNL years.

He appeared to have zero inhibitions, and I found that funny. But once he left the show and then began showing up in every single movie being made, his shtick got old.

[WCGreen]

24. The Cheerleader skits were the best of his stuff...

But then again, SNL didn't realize that it would make one good skit and left it at that...

[vanlassie]

17. I thought he was funny as GW Bush...

&sns=em

[El Supremo]

22. The best thing he ever did.

The rest sucks.

[trof]

18. Not near so much as Adam Sandler.

meh

[Llewlladdwr]

26. Yes. nt

[Kaleva]

27. I dunno. Some of his stuff is pretty good IMO

I liked him in "Step Brothers", "The Other Guys", " Megamind", "Talladega Nights", and "Casa de Mi Padre".

[Brother Buzz]

28. He had moments of greatness on SNL but his films suck big time

YMMV
