Both were rife with adolescent humor, which I loved. I found Dodgeball the funnier of the two (Stiller, Vaughn, and a cameo by Lance Armstrong). Although some of the one-liners from Anchorman really stuck with me.
Anchorman played on a lot of the same 70's humor that Starsky and Hutch played to. (Smoking to excess, drinking to excess, funky clothes, sexual harrassment/discrimination)
Dodgeball had a few scenes of innuendo, but had some hellafubby moments.
I enjoyed both for different reasons. But, otoh, both were stupid and juvenile and fun to watch.
I. love. DODGEBALL! 'Stupid humor' at its wittiest. Loved the cameo of Lance. LOVED Rip Torn. Nearly peed at Jason Bateman. Hilarious to see Vince Vaughn play the straight character and play off of Ben Stiller doing Zoolander but X10 in fubby. Very very funny. My side hurt when I left the theater. We have a pirate on our team?? :fubby: I am hoping to finally see Anchorman this weekend.
"You're about as useful as a poopy-flavored lollipop!!" :LOL:
Anchorman, not so funny. I'm not a huge Will fan to begin with, but I'd definitely rank Dodgeball as far ahead of Anchorman on the comedic spectrum.
I almost choked I was laughing so hard.
I finally saw Wedding Crashers. Frustrating and hilarious by turns. (Same actors) I almost choked I was laughing so hard.
It have no idea what makes it so funny to me, I usually hate stupid humor, but when I think of . "maaaaa, where's my f%^$& meatloaf" I lose it
It have no idea what makes it so funny to me, I usually hate stupid humor, but when I think of . "maaaaa, where's my f%^$& meatloaf" I lose it Or "I'm going to have to go ice my .... and spit up blood now". The meatloaf thing cracks me up, too. What about the scene when he gets tied up and everyone and their dog visits him?
