Will Ferrell: The Mediocre American Man Trilogy

One of my favorite comedy films of all-time is "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy." Never has a collection of silly jokes, mustaches, and hairy man pride made me laugh so much than this movie. It made me come to heart Will Ferrell, after thinking that he would fall down the spiraling path to obscurity after leaving Saturday Night Live. I mean, really, look what happened to Jimmy Fallon :(

Anyway, I watched "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" in hopes for a movie similar to "Anchorman," but left the theater feeling cheated, with only a few mediocre jokes, none of which that could even compare to my beloved "Anchorman."

But alas, unbeknownst to me, both "Anchorman" and "Talladega Nights" are just two parts out of three movies that will make up "The Mediocre American Man Trilogy" (also known as "The Colon Trilogy").

The last part of the trilogy is set to be called "Booby Trap: The Tale of Rusty Butte," which in the title itself sounds like a raunchy good time. Butt pirates? Close, but no cigar:

Ferrell plays Russell O’Brien an awkward child of a devoutly Irish Catholic family in the South Side of Boston. Somehow, he ends up garnering the love of the prettiest, most popular girl in school, Cassandra Newcastle. However, when he is caught having sex with the school slut Tonya Hand, she leaves him. Rumors begin to swirl about Rusty’s enormous penis size. The school slut’s father, a pornographer named Horace Hand played by David Koechner, hears these stories and convinces a dejected Rusty to enter the low-levl porno industry. Juggling school, a regular job as a bike messenger, and filming porno proves too much, and eventually Rusty is exposed to his family as a porn actor when his grandfather views one of his videos. Disowned by his family, Rusty is taken in by Hand and is flown to Los Angeles, changes his name to Rusty Butte and begins his porn career in earnest… (from joblo.com)

All in all, I have yet to lose hope in Will Ferrell. Some might say that he is overrated. Some might even say he has gone downhill post-SNL. But until I've seen the final movie in the Mediocre American Man Trilogy, Will Ferrell is still awesome.

And I'll end this post with some Will Ferrell clips!
