It really says something about Will Ferrell’s ability to deliver iconic lines that we’re still quoting them to this day.
…Or at least I very much am. I’d have to guess I’m not alone, with just how deeply Ferrell’s biggest hits (Old School, Talladega Nights, Anchorman, Step Brothers, I could go on) penetrated the zeitgeist of the 2000s.
And yet here we are, a decade or two removed from the heyday of the absurd, high-energy comedy that is Ferrell’s bread and butter, and I’m still dropping these particular quotes on, if not the daily, at least the weekly.
And you can do! At a certain point anything considered “over,” “old,” or”cringy” actually swings back around to become “oldschool,” “a throwback,” and “retro.”
And I’m thinking hoping the same can be said of these gems.
