Am I the only one who thinks he's overrated? His only good role was Frank the Tank in Old School. Other than that, ugh!

His movies overall are lacking. His work on SNL was great though.

Where he played the straight man in the comedy.

Anchorman is where he did best.

anchorman is great but his work on SNL is better than his movies imo (though his movies are good too).

I didn't get him the first couple of years, and neither did my wife. But over time we've grown to love him, something about his face is just rediculous comedy for us now. I can't put my finger on what I think is so great but I love practically everything he's done.

I've been ranting about his lack of talent since he appeared on SNL. Glad to know I'm not the only one.

He gets all the credit for that line. Sure, he plays the cowbell, but Walken was the one who said it. Who ever mentions him when talking about that sketch? Nobody. Nope. Not attacking you here, but i figured i'd use your mention of this to bring this thing up to the general TB public.

I don't really like him except in Elf. I thought he was hilarious in Elf. And I will admit that the cowbell skit was kind of funny. Yes, Walken was great...but the way will ferrell was standing and the look on his face was just hilarious to me.

I think he's about 25/75 on a funny/lame scale.

I completely HATED him in SNL... I've recently been forced to watch a majority of his recent movies.

I think he's a funny guy and I LOVE his movies
