Like the title says I just became aware of the fact that Will Ferrell won the honorary MTV-movie award "comedic genius";

Watch Arrested Development for a brilliant example of top quality humor for anyone with more than half a brain
Will Ferrell would blend in much better with some paint on his face, some oversized shoes, and a red nose wallowing around a circus ring to the amusement of preadolescent spectators.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing that everyone should have the same sense of humor I do, I just believe that those who find Will Ferrell funny haven't experienced a wide enough variety of humor yet to actually develop a justified opinion. -

I didn't find arrested development overly funny. (Jason Bateman made it) It had its moments (just like will Ferrells movies ) but nothing to go ranting about. That's your opinion. Just like its my opinion to say u don't really have much of a sense of humor. You also seem to think only YOU know what funny is. No one else does huh? Hmm oddly enough I don't care what ur opinion is about me5b4. I can laugh it off. Cause it'll be funny. :)~

I feel the fact that these are my opinions is rather self evident without me having to include a phrase with the words "in my opinion";) With that said, I never claimed to be an oracle of humor, and even made it clear I don't believe everyone should have the same humor as I do, I simply hypothesize that anyone who find Will Ferrell funny would benefit from experiencing a wider variety of humor and in so doing would probably develop a different view. Certainly there are more than one type of quality humor, not all of which I myself find funny, yet they are not dumbed down like Ferrell's material. As for an opinion about you, I have none, as I have no knowledge of you other that what I can discern from these boards. However, I find it rather amusing that no more than ten days ago you yourself made a remarkably similar evaluation regarding the artist Selena Gomez

@thepartydjz Chapelle, YES. Rock, has made me laugh a couple of times. Farrell, has made me laugh a couple of times.
I thought you should know so that you could exemplify the appropriate amount of self righteous condescension

In a country where a zero talent like Will Ferrell is a superstar you should be ashamed to even mention you're an american. Yes I have standards, and they are obviously quite higher than yours, enjoy lying in pig slop.

I got nothing against Will, but to be honouring him with a comedic genius award shows there is something wrong with our society. I have to admit, Will has made me laugh before, but lately not in his movies.
I do have to say looking upon Will's career, the best bits he's ever done in my opinion, was when he was in SNL. But just recently I saw his cameo on the Internship (yet alone, the movie was absolutely awful), and I never giggled, never smiled, never even said HA to his character. -

A lot of people love him and he's -obviously- popular (and getting awarded), I think that was the point of the topic What's wrong with the world today (because he's absolutely horrendous, in every way), heh.

Especially when he's compared to comedians (you know, people who can actually do comedy) -

I slightly overreacted when I said there was something wrong with out society, I think I've said it in a sense because I don't understand why he won. I just think there's somebody out there that deserves this award. Will is still a funny man, but I don't find anything genius about his comedy. This award just seems like a popularity contest to me, but to each their own.
