Video: Will Ferrell Gifts Old Milwaukee With Amusing Beer Commercials
Will Ferrell has filmed several amusing spots for Old Milwaukee, which is just one of the many flavors of swill produced by the famed Pabst Brewing Company. However, while most celebrities are first approached by a company and offered money to shill their product, Ferrell appears to have done this purely out of the goodness of his heart. More »
Parting Tweet: Colin Quinn’s Got Beef With Will Ferrell
We’re not sure if this is some bizarre joke of if Colin Quinn is really using Twitter to air-out years of frustration felt for fellow ex-SNL-er Will Ferrell. I mean, I don’t really get what the joke might be (Will Ferrell has done drugs? Haha?), but these are some rather serious accusations to be sending out via public missive. And Lorne Michaels is kind of untouchable, right? More »
Video Gallery: The Funniest Celebrity ‘Don’t Talk’ PSAs from the Alamo Drafthouse Theater
Now we get why Alamo Drafthouse is consistently voted the beast theater in the country. They’re the ones behind the viral video of an angry customer’s bleep-filled voicemail, which they used in their famous “Don’t Talk” campaign of PSAs that run before new movies. Today we stumbled upon their official YouTube channel, which collects all of their “Don’t Talk” PSAs — including the hilarious ones with celebrities like Jason Momoa and Dave Franco. Not all of them succeed — therein lies the fun — but you have to hand it to the theater and the stars for turning out such wacky videos. More »

Video: ‘Between Two Ferns’ Has Jumped the Shark!
This Will Ferrell-starring episode of Zach Galifianakis‘s web series Between Two Ferns is the weirdest one yet. The ep abandons its construction of Zach as the obtuse host playing against an unaware straightman, and instead the two comedians battle one another in a duel of insults and weirdness. It’s bizarre and wonderful, plus there’s terrific a cameo from Jon Hamm. More »

Actors are known for going to extremes for movie roles – Christian Bale lost a scary amount of weight for his role in The Machinist, and Renee Zellweger famously packed on pounds for Bridget Jones’ Diary. Depending on the star, learning a new language is better than having to gain or lose a bunch of weight. More »

VH1 Investigates: Are Men Funny?
VH1 did a funny and subversive thing at last week’s Comedy Awards. They sent a crew to the red carpet to interview comedy celebs, asking them two questions: “Are men funny?” and “Why aren’t there more men in comedy?” The queries were, of course, a response to the pervasive “are women funny” articles and panels and just plain old dumb conversations that continue to choke the comedy landscape More »

On Friday, NBC debuted its first teaser for Will Ferrell‘s appearance on The Office. In a four-episode stint starting April 14, Ferrell will play the new boss at Dunder Mifflin. Though his character doesn’t even have a name yet, he’s obviously struck a chord with Michael Scott (Steve Carell, leaving the show in just a few episodes). More »

Boats and Hoes: Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly Record Rap Album
While you’re waiting for T-Pain to record another song with Lonely Island, enjoy this week’s news from Adam McKay‘s twitter. John C.

Video: Will Ferrell Sincerely Sings ‘Imagine’
We’ll admit, we’re a little bit lost on the tone here. Will Ferrell was on the Jimmy Kimmel Show singing John Lennon‘s “Imagine” last night with Phillipino boxer Manny Pacquiao, and the comedian does the performance totally straight? Even though the audience is laughing in this way that you can tell they’re not even sure why this is happening, or if they should take it seriously or as some sort of Andy Kaufman-esque prank? Meanwhile, the weird star-shaped wipeouts and cut-aways aren’t helping matters. More »

The 10 Funny Parts of ‘The Other Guys’ That Made the Movie Bearable
Sorry guys…I really wanted to like the Adam McKay/Will Ferrell comedy The Other Guys. You’re talking to someone who owns the special edition two-disk DVD of Step Brothers, after all. But I don’t worship any golden calves in comedy (except for Adam Scott), and The Other Guys, while getting a few good chuckles out of me, seemed way too confused about what sort of film it wanted to be. A spoof of cop movies, like Naked Gun? A comedy/action film,… More »
Get Your Sh*t Together, Jimmy Fallon
Jimmy Fallon, you are good at some things. You are good at being sort of a second-rate Adam Sandler-meets-Justin Long, and you are good at being tickled pink by your own dialogue. And you are very, very good at Twitter, and hanging out with the Roots.
You know what you are terrible at though? Being in a live television sketch, like last night’s “Jacob’s Patience” with Will Ferrell. Seriously, stop giggling like a schoolgirl and get back into character. We know… More »
