Rate him on a scale of one to 10

I'd give him a 6.5 (as far as comedians go) he gets a lot of shit and a lot of it is rightfully deserved and perhaps even suicide-inducing, but he's had some hilarious moments as well.

In case you were wondering, Bill Murray would be like a 10 (cause of versatility and amount of good roles) and Carlos Mencia would be a 1 (unoriginal and purely tasteless).

7.5/10

I don't always like everything he does (let's face it - he accepts some really shitty roles sometimes), but when he wants to be, he can be really fucking hilarious.

I'll go with 7.5 too. And Matt, I've gained more respect for you with your grade for Mencia. I absolutely loathe that guy.

I agree with you. There are times when he can overact things.

apparently, you haven't watched it more than once. i think anchorman gets funnier with subsequent watches.

People quoting Anchorman left and right ruins the whole movie.

Jesus, how anyone could actually watch this AGAIN, is beyond me. It took all I had to make it through one viewing, just a terrible movie.

I do enjoy Ferrel though, he's done some really funny stuff as well.

How can anyone not like Anchorman? To me that is one of the most effortlessly funny comedies in a long, long time.

I give him 8/10, he's a funny motherfucker. Plus he's a USC Alum.

He is about a 6.0, he is funny but acting like my friends in high school isn't all that creative.

Also, I've found that several of Farrell's movies I found funnier the second and third time I saw them. First on that list is Old School. Didn't do much for me the first time, but I've probably seen it 6 times now, and I'll watch it any time it's on TV.
