He wasn't the best on SNL, but dammit if he doesn't make every movie he's in funny. He shined in Zoolander, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, Old School, and Ladies Man jump to mind. He improvs most of his stuff, and it is true hilarity

I love Will. He makes me crack up just looking at him. His Spartan cheerleader routine is still my favorite. All of the SNL skits and routines are silly and a little corny. It has been funny off and on over the years, but Will has always been a funny guy. I admit I don't like his movies as much, but I continue to watch them to see his goofy grin and antics. F-U-N-N-Y: Will don't need no alibi-he's FUNNY!

He was there when they made the greatest SNL shows ever. Gotta have more cowbell, wich he did with Christopher Walkin. He was there for Celeberty Jeoperdy. He did Harry Karry, George Bush, the list goes on and on.

I remember occasionally watching the show throughout the late nineties, and usually the only time I'd laugh or even smile was when he was onscreen. Even in crappy skits which sucked he could manage to get a chuckle out of me, just because he's so over the top and never broke character (kind of like Tim Conway on Carol Burnett, it was almost more fun sometimes watching the other cast members trying not to crack up - except Chris Kattan and Cheri Oteri, the only other 'professionals' on the show at the time). His parodies of Dubya were hilarious. I hope he's around for awhile.

Will Ferrel would definitely be in my op 5 list of cast members. He is so funny! I thought the cheerleader and jeopardy skits were some of the best in SNL's history. He is just a great comedian.

Many things come to mind: Prez Bush Jr, the homeless naked art model, the too-cool for reality fashion guy on the wheelchair w/ the tiny cell phone, the doctor w/ no people skills who's over-stressed, irate, and incompetent. His "I'm #1" hat was funny too. Ferrel had a unique and original take on things. And that "Don't Fear the Reaper" skit was priceless ("I gotta have more cowbell!")!

This guy is freaking hilarious. I love it when he plays Alex Trebek or when he does that skit with rachel drach and always says: "lovah" Those who haven't seen Old School need to run to the nearest blockbuster and grab the DVD asap. Its hilarious..like Billy Madison kinda hilarious.

The best player they've had in ten years, but that's not saying much. He's very funny but since the show has been sooo bad for the last 10 years it's hard to tell how good he really is. He's had alot of bad material to work with.

ok, will ferrell may not be the BEST snl player there was, but i do think he's pretty hilarious. analyzing his every move is really ridiculous, and you people obviously shouldnt even be allowed to watch snl at all. i know and agree that some of the movies he's been in were dumb, but i think thats the point. they're not meant to be hilarious. they're meant to be silly, however third-grade that sounds. relax and quit judging him, i bet he's a lot funnier than you

One of the best. I was sorry to see him leave.

Best George w. Bush mocker out there!

Made a big difference in the show and the show will not easliy replace him.The Neil Diamond bit is unreal.

After he left SNL it just wasn't as funny as it used to be.

Will Ferrell is one of the greatest cast members. His George W. Bush impression is flawless!

He has delivered many funny moments! His George Bush is dead on. Also love his Spartan cheerleader and Alex Trebek. He has been SNL's franchise over the past few years.

He is sooo hilarious! He rules!

In my opinion, Will Ferrell is a mediocre SNL castmember. No doubt, he's probably the best one on the show today, but that's not saying much. However, he is definately no Dana Carvey or Phil Hartman. I do enjoy his "Roxbury" scenes, as well as the Spartan Cheerleader, and most of all, his mockery of President George W. Bush.

Not as funny as people make him seem

Will Ferrell is a comedy god. He is the highest paid SNLer ever. His wonderful impressions led the cast to great success during the time he spent on the show. I am greatly looking forward towards his movie career as it will surly be a sucessful and funny one.

Freakin' halarious!!! Everytime I hear a song w/a cow bell, I start laughing!!! Can't wait to see "Old School". Him and Cheri ROCK!

Just great, not a stand out, but really solid and funny

I could look at this guy and crack up. His antics and facial expressions were always funny. I hope this guy goes far in his career. They could've ixnayed on the "Roxbury" movie but he's still great.

"Year in Review 1997" BEST IMPROV/BLOOPER EVER: Ferrell(as Harry Carey):in scotland, they cloned a sheep, which a lot of people thought was fun. HEY! what if- (pause) HEY!

HE IS FREAKING HILARIOUS!! He was in some of the funniest skits I have ever seen when he was on there.

I cannot believe that Ferrell isn't rated number one. Ridiculous

Funny roles, funny movies.

This guy's hilarious. Most of SNL seems to be going down the tubes, but his parts of the show are still usually funny.

As an SNL character, he was the best. He replaced Phil Hartman as a guy who can play any role. And even when he bombed, he was funny.

My 3 favorite characters he does: 1.Harry Carey 2.George (W) Bush 3.Alex Trebek

Will Farrell is a mixed bag. Some of his characters can be hilarious, such as his stuffy rendition of Alex Trebek on the Celebrity Jeopary sketches, and yet others can be flat out repulsive, like those stupid cheerleader sketches he used to do with Cheri Oteri and the incredibly dumb Roxbury sketches. While I don't really dislike Farrell, the fact is that he's only as good as the writing for whatever particular sketch he happens to be in.

Will rates to me as one of the most over-rated cast members. His movies have been bombs or extremely small parts. He hasn't even significantly contributed many memorable characters to SNL. List of movies: Dick (box office bomb), The Suburbans (unsaveable so went straight to video), The Ladies Man and Superstar (what was he thinking..is he Lorne's lackey or what?), Austin Powers (very small part obtained through his friendship with Mike not his talent). Now let's name his memorable characters that he created...only Steve Butabi and the Spartan Cheerleader guy comes to mind and he had input from Kattan and Oteri on those.

Hysterical! I love this guy. He looks really dumb as a 17 year old in a 39 year olds body!

Will Ferrell isn't funny anymore. He was really funny when he played the cheerleader and the AT&T girl, but that was 5 years ago, and he's not funny anymore. He plays really stupid characters, and stinks at all roles.

He is funny most of the time. He is good at impersonating people. He has been in good movies. He works well under pressure and doesn't laugh too much. He stays in character when things start to go bad.

Will Ferrell I think took over after Farley died at SNL. However, Will is also talented. Too bad that his movie career hasn't taken off like Farley or Sandler.

I think Will Ferrell is a funny guy. He definitely has exceptional talent. When Will Ferrell performs most of his comic strips, he always has some blank, dumb look on his face. I like his skit on the Night of the Roxbury. It is really funny.

Just by looking at this guy's face I laugh uncontrollably. Every role he does, it is though he knows how to make the perfect facial expression with each role!

One of the greatest comedians in television history is Will Purdue. He adds a touch of dramatic, serious humor that comes out silly and laugh out loud funny. Plus he has a smorgasbord of characters, including the cheerleader Craig, the Roxbury guy, and Harry Carey, as well as the new George Bush Jr. He is definitely one of the best SNL members ever.

More annoying than funny. Kind of the Kevin Nealon of the cast, but a bit more annoying. This is probably due to the poor parts he is assigned to play.

Will Ferrell has been a god send to the SNL cast. For two years SNL went through a huge downfall. Then when the new cast, led by Will Ferrell, came in, they turned the show around and made it funnier than ever. Ferrell is a comic marvel.

Will Ferrell is the greatest. Especially when he acts like a psycho.

Will Ferrell is one of the better comedians on the new SNL. He plays every character well.
