    I chuckled a few times during Elf. His other movies, not so much.
    I think what bothers people is the "genius" label that's often attached to Ferrell. Most of us have probably had a friend who was just as funny as him and could carry a movie just as well. Can talent that common truly be called genius? I don't think so.

      He has the same humor as seth rogan and the fat guy from the hangover. And all three of them are not funny.

          Not funny, more annoying than anything.

                what makes me upset is that people are somehow buying into this notion that will ferrel is really funny. that's actually funny in itself.

                  I don't think he's funny. He tries way too hard. Basically his schtick is say something stupid. If that doesn't work, just yell and scream and repeat. That is all there is to will Farrell folks!

                    I don't find him funny at all. He is a talentless moron. His only "talent" is looking like a bafoon, which is not a talent at all since he was born funny looking

                      He's not funny. Even when other (talented) people provide him with a script he can sometimes fail to be funny. I don't really see the point of this guy.

                            Agreed. The only time I thought he's being reasonably funny was in Talladega Nights, but that could be mainly of Adam McKay's contributions. Actually probably that being the case of most of his other popular movies (which I didn't find really funny but anyway).
                            He seems to resonate with the late 20's to mid 30's male audience who needed their own comedic genius as they grow up though. None of them that I know with that category seems to have a good sense of humor, a dead generation of humor I suppose.
                            I miss Mr. Show.

                              To be funny it has to seem like it's real. He's a buffoon. Funny on stage for maybe 5 minutes at most.

                                  I don't find him funny either. His brand of comedy died out 30 years ago.
                                  He comes across as more of a hasbeen douchebag nowadays
                                  So, a thought crossed your mind? Must have been a long and lonely journey

                                    There's only a handful of things which he did on SNL which I found hilariou5b4s - and the rest were complete duds to me.
                                    I have NEVER found anything he's done in the movies to be funny.
                                    But with that said, I gotta say that his one man HBO show playing Bush was awesome. He displayed some real talent with that. I was surprised. If there's one thing of his I would recommend it would be that.

                                      The only movie I saw of his was Elf and I watched it because a friend told me he was hilarious. Nothing funny about him in that movie and I've avoided any other movie he's in.
