Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

[susyhomewrecker]

Yes, I LOVE that his kids are named "Walker" and "Texas Ranger." Chuck Norris humor never gets old!

I'm Will Ferrell's bitch too. I know he's silly, and I'm definitely NOT his target audience of teenage boys, but I love him anyway! Clearly...

I'm now ashamed to admit that I thought SusyHomewrecker's icon was House. Yes, I know House doesn't have a moustache... I thought it was a shadow, okay?

[susyhomewrecker]

Okay, okay...how do you explain the Bighorn!? That cracked me up.

PS. It's Will Ferrell as Robert Goulet, crooning rap hits. One of my favorite sketches on the "SNL Best of WF" DVD. Yeah, pretty nerdy.

[laconicchick]

how do you explain the Bighorn!?

I don't know! It's confused me for days! (Or weeks?) I'm not a House fan (CLEARLY), so I figured it was... something I hadn't seen? I really have no idea. Hee.

[susyhomewrecker]

Even though I can't see how Ferrell-as-Goulet morphs into Hugh Laurie, I'm having fun imagining situations that would involve a ram in a hospital.

ETA: I just saw a clip of the movie before Will Ferrell's interview on Daily Show, and I got a good laugh out of it. Ricky Bobby is saying grace over a dinner of "Domino's, KFC, and the always delicious Taco Bell," and thanks "baby Jesus" for his "wife Carly who is a stone cold fox." John C. Reilly says, "Mmm!"

I didn't do it justice. It was funny. I can't wait for Friday!

Oh god, Ferrell as Goulet is one of my favorite things ever! I literally fell of the couch laughing TWICE while watching the "Red Ships of Spain" sketch. Sometimes I like to refer to my friends as a "coterie of ne'er do-wells" in homage.

"POPPA... I love it when you call me...BIG POPPPA"

Love, love, love that sketch, and SusyHomewrecker, my love for your avatar knows no bounds. That "you don't even blink, do you?" Had me peeing my pants. /OT

Can I just say how much I love his Wonderbread sponsorship outfit?

I am positively giddy that they made this movie. I enjoy making fun of stereotypical NASCAR fans. Not the cool people on this board who like NASCAR, of course, but the people you suspect who had siblings for parents.

I'm getting into a screening of this tomorrow night and I'm so excited!!! I'm glad it's free but I think I'd even pay to see this movie.

Walker & Texas Ranger crack my shit up.

Will Ferrell owns me! I love him as Robert Goulet (I almost peed myself during "Red Ships of Spain", with all the Goulet relatives joining in!), Elf is one of my favorite Christmas movies ("Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color?"), and then there's Anchorman...

Well, lemme tell you what happened during Anchorman. I also thought it looked dumb and didn't bother to see it. Then I was on a flight from San Francisco to NY and it was the in-flight movie. I absolutely had the weird stares of everyone on the plane as I laughed like a loon through the whole thing! It's a miracle they didn't decide to make an emergency landing in Denver to throw me off the plane.

So yes, I will see this. I might not spend $10 on it (or *will* I? Hmmm....), but even if I wait till it's on DVD, I WILL see this!

Dang, I thought that avatar was Bruce Campbell.

Jelly on a lady?
