Title: Will Farrell = overatted
Post by: pappy on July 13, 2004, 09:59:53 AM
i dont kno how some people can call him the funniest SNL cast member of all time.  Dont get me wrong he's a funny guy,  but not legendary funny.  I think there are a lot of people funnier than he is.  He jus tries to hard to be funny,  it should just come natural.  anyone else agree with me.

Will Ferrell is funny as hell...but no, I don't agree with him being labeled one of the greatest of all time on SNL.

Hes no legend yet, although Night at the Roxbury is one of the funniest movies ever. I think he's really funny. Good at improv and Anchorman was hilarious.  He's definitley one of the funniest comedic actors around today. peace

I think he's hilarious.  He got funnier once he left SNL.

he is one of the funniest dudes in hollywood today - and probably the funniest guy to come out of SNL for a long while but defiantly not the best.

and i reckon he is naturally funny - people laugh just from seeing him

He is mad overrated. And for him to be one of the funniest guys to come outta SNL isn't saying much since SNL can hardly put on a good show anymore.

do you know how many funny people have come out of SNL? there are tons of hilarious people who came out of SNL. just cause the last bunch of seasons have sucked doesnt mean anything. i think will ferrell is hilarious and is just starting his career. just cause its really annoying that everyone uses his quotes and ruins them doesnt make him overrated or unfunny. peace

Of course I know. People like Chris Rock, Chris Farley, Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Eddie Murphy, etc. etc. etc. I know there's more, but those are the ones off the top of my dome. My point is that all of those cats blew up years ago. The only other guy that was on SNL that was nearly decent was Tracy Morgan, but he's only funny when playing an ignorant black guy.

he was funnier in his SNL days...now when he makes appearances on TV he says some very weird shit but says it with such a seriousness that people interviewing him think hes serious...and that right there is funny.  He was also hilarious in Old School.

I don't rate comedian really.  I just laugh at his cahracterizations and jokes.

i love will ferrell i don't know how you guys can say he's overrated...he's no more overrated than dan akroyd...c'mon some of that early SNL stuff wasn't THAT funny and a grip of shit he did after was straight corn ball. he's definately funnier than Chevy chase and adam sandler.  IMO he's on the same level as Chris Farley if anything. Not the greatest but he's definately a key actor in the shows history no doubt. i mean shit SNL wouldn't of put out a best of will pharell DVD if people thought he sucked...it's actually one of their best sellers.

IMO i think Phil Hartman could be considered the best SNL cast member

Ok heres what i have to say.

Watch "SNL best of  will ferrel"
Watch "old School"

i rest my case. He is a very very funny man, but hes not greatest of all time. But that doesnt mean he isnt hilarious

Really? I know the "Austin Powers" franchise is starting to get ridiculous, but I loved "Wayanes World", and Mike Myers is a pretty funny guy overall...I'll take him over Will Farrel any day.

Will's funny, but I said on the other thread back in the day that I definately don't see him as one of the funniest from SNL.  I still say Eddie Murphy, at one time, was probably the funniest cat alive.

also will farrell dont have shit on dan akroyd or eddie murphey,  2 people that people have mentioned in this thread

Will Ferrell is a great comedian imo.  I'm not sayin he's GOAT, but he's fuckin hilarious.  Yes, there's better comedians, but Old School and Anchorman are classics imo.
Title: Re: Will Farrell = overatted
Post by: Don Jacob on July 14, 2004, 11:42:41 PM
eddie murphy was the shit back in the day no one is denying that. but Dan......man that fool at his PEEK wasn't half as funny as Farrell at his peek. i mean shit watch his best of shit ....his 'funniest skit' was that foriegn brothers thing he did with steve martin . then there's cone heads , funny  ha ha, but not laugh out loud funny.

I wouldn't call anchorman a classic.  It had bits and pieces, but was nothing compared to a Chris Farley movie, or such.
