Please boycott Will Ferrell

I’m over him. I just don’t find him remotely entertaining anymore. I used to think the guy was pure genius, but he’s long worn out his welcome. You can only play the same character in a different costume so many times and Ferrell has done it about 10 times too many. It might have something to do with annoying little frat boys running around and dropping stupid lines like “Cannnnon-baaaaall!”, but I think Ferrell should have just stuck with SNL until they fired him.

I’m urging you to please boycott Ferrell from here on out. If you’re having trouble grasping how overrated he is, then please take a list at the steady decline of his movie career.

Night at the Roxbury - Pretty stupid. He didn’t exactly start out with a bang.
Zoolander - Ferrell managed to steal the movie despite playing 5th or 6th fiddle. Very solid.
Old School - Quite possibly the greatest comedy of our generation. Frank the Tank was a great character and Ferrell played it well - but his part was any better or more important than Vince Vaughn‘s or Luke Wilson‘s.
Elf - Ferrell’s first major starring role since Night at the Roxbury. He didn’t really deliver much of an improvement from that. Probably could have used Chris Kattan to make the movie better. And he sucks.
Anchorman - One of the most overrated movies of all-time. Again, Ferrell benefited from a great ensemble cast but, on the whole, the movie was pretty weak - especially if you have at least half a brain.
Kicking and Screaming - Sucked. More Ditka.
The Producers - Bombed. Too gay for me to go see.
Curious George - I didn’t see this because I’m too old, but I’m not going to knock it. Curious George deserves more respect than that.
Talladega Nights - Pretty great movie, but not because of Ferrell at all. John C. Reilly made the movie and Sasha Baron Cohen was light year’s funnier and more important to the overall movie being good than Ferrell. He had a couple of memorable moments but most of them were because of Reilly setting them up or making the punch line memorable (the prayer scene for example).
Stranger than Fiction - If you saw this, you are probably a huge turd. Or a woman. However, for these purposes, Ferrell gets a pass.
Blades of Glory - This movie was absolutely terrible. I honestly don’t think I laughed once. Or even cracked a smile. Putting the Napoleon Dynamite guy and Ferrell together and hoping that they make a movie fly is the obviously the work of a chimp or Corky. Seriously, did anyone find this movie entertaining?

I’m not counting the Austin Powers movies or Starsky and Hutch because Ferrell had about as much to do with those as I did with the Cowboys winning 3 Super Bowls in the 90’s (I did a lot of praying and cheering). Also, I will give him credit for his years on Saturday Night Live. Hell, I’ll even give him props for the picture above this post. Pretty good. It’s just his movies suck big time.

So, I’m begging you. Do not go see Semi-Pro. Let’s stick together and do our part to make sure this guy goes away forever and takes his little douche patrol of North Face jacket - clad impersonators with him.
