true, ferrell as a loud moron isn't funny unless its actually subversive in intent rather than just for cheap laughs

Talladega Nights was painfully bad. I mean maybe it means more if you come from one of those flyover states where the cultural satire might feel a bit more on-point, but even on release it just felt like mean-spirited heartland stereotypes cut with Will Ferrell being a dumb poo poo. Ferrell and Reilly have rarely been worse.

She really was. She was in that Goldilocks zone of being able to look totally independent, approachable, and not so hot or vapid that she'd be lazy in the sack. She also looked like one of those girls who can not shut up about how poly relationships are the only kind that can contain her sexual appetite, but that often comes with being in the Goldilocks zone and having loads of satisfying sexual options. She's also like the spiritual mother of TrollX/Tumblr-style girls though so some types of Goons reflexively want to gut her and put her head on a pike.

speaking of reilley, dewey cox was atrocious except for 3 parts: jack white as elvis, the bob dylan bit and tim meadows response to it, and eddie veders soliloquy

those were three legit hilarious parts of a very bad movie

What were you smoking, Walk Hard was very solid. Nothing amazing, but it spoofs Musical Bio-Pics perfectly.

I know what you mean, but honestly if they weren't swinging for the fences the whole thing would have come off like one of those awful "Meet the Spartans" spoofs that were popular around the same time.

Just Shoot Me had its moments tbqh

I went through a period of faithfully watching. And the frustrating thing was that I couldn't figure out why. I mean, it's not like it was the worst thing ever on TV, but I couldn't really figure out what was good about it.

David Spade wasn't supposed to be funny I don't think. He was the "straight man" that other wacky characters played off or the dickish guy with snide one liners. He's done pretty good for himself considering.

Walk Hard is legit good and the director's cut/extended version is even better. Y'all are crazy

Yeah much like how Steve Guttenberg and Ted Danson only could have been popular in the 80s, Burt Reynolds only could have been big in the 70s, and so on David Spade was one of those guys who only could have been big when he was (especially with a partner like Farley).

People lose touch and generally just start sucking as they get older. Lorne Michaels had a talent for finding funny people. That talent is slipping.

Yeah well..
