The funniest parts of Will Ferrel movies aren’t generally Will Ferrel. Skipping Anchorman means you’ve missed a sublime Paul Rudd character, Steve Carrell as a functioning imbecile and David Koechner as the funniest closet homosexual in the history of modern film.

Plus, they reenact the fight scene from Planet of the Apes (the original) with tridents, nets, etc. but instead of apes it’s local tv anchormen.
