Will Ferrell
Thank you. I can't stand his humor. Cringe on top of cringe with a side of cringe with nothing to balance out the cringe. Just not my cup of tea.
He's the guy that can be brilliantly funny about 1% of the time, but that 1% is completely canceled-out by the 99% of other material, which is him just randomly throwing shit at the wall. He's truly awful and I dread seeing him.
More cowbell. That's it. The only funny thing he's ever done. Although the t-shirt did most of the heavy lifting.
Oh yes, he is a very wicked bad actor for the greater good of bad!
I honestly don’t enjoy his sense of humor, he is not too awful in serious roles but still don’t go out of my way to watch. I could say the same for Seth Rogen, his laugh just annoys me to no end.
It’s mostly SNL humour, which imo is not the best as it kind of relies on being self aware that you’re in a comedy. It’s not for everyone so I can see why you think that.
I do like that sense of humor, which is why I don’t like Will Ferrell. He’s always trying to be Chevy Chase but with out the timing r talent at pratfalls
I'm waiting for women to come out of the woodwork about him, tbh.
Genuinely almost ruined the Barbie movie for me. They could've had so many better actors in that role.
I just do not find him humorous.
I get this. I was listening to a podcast, Conan O'Brien's I think, where Will Ferrell came up and they were talking about how he's typically a pretty straightforward and serious kind of person off camera.
He turns it on for the camera but it's not who he is in real life. There's nothing wrong with it per se but it made him seem a lot more disingenuous to me.
I think a lot of comedians are this way, and it makes sense. Most of us have a "work persona" that is not exactly the same as what we would consider our "real" personality.
For a more genuine version Will Ferrell, and just a hell of a story of friendship and overcoming challenges, I heartily recommend the documentary Will & Harper.
That's the road trip film he did right? I think I have it, just haven't watched it yet.
