Propaganda Vacuum Unexpectedly Sucking Will Ferrell Back To SNL

Posted on | April 27, 2012 | 13 Comments

Breitbart reports that Will Ferrell will, in a move that surprises no one except Derek Smalls, trot out his George W. Bush impersonation on 12 May’s SNL installment. Maybe it won’t appear to be Yet Another Cheap Distractor, as the administration grasps at every straw to distract from #OccupyResoluteDesk‘s sucktacular performance.

Maybe we’ll at least get a Celebrity Jeopardy installment, or some cowbell out of it. Unfortunately, one expects the episode will be as humorless as Hulu’s embed policy, replete with alternative lifestyles and political sucker punches. The TiVo barely renders SNL watchable anymore.

    One of the most over rated comedians of our time. And a commie to boot.

    I’m still hoping they kill two birds with one stone and make the Anchorman sequel “Canal De Mi Padre”.

    I never did particularly like Will Ferrell. Highly overrated, with the one exception being his Alex Trebek, which I have to admit was pretty funny.

    You can always tell when he wrote the material on SNL or his movies because the bit goes two or ten times longer than funny.

    Maybe he’ll go waaay out on a limb and really push the envelope this time. I dunno, seems like he could try “the loud, obnoxious, drunken, stupid fratboy” role. I know, I know, a clear stretch, but he just. might. have it in him.

    He was mildly entertaining in his younger days, I never saw the appeal that made him some sort of “B” grade “star” at all.

    Remember when Will Ferrell didn’t go out of his way to piss off half his audience?

    Yeah, I miss those times.

    Those were the only times when he was remotely funny.

    The only time I ever thought he was funny was in the remake of “The Producers” and even there he was no Kenneth Mars.

    Nobody could out-Mar Kenneth Mars.

     He’s funniest when he’s not in a Will Ferrell role.
