Will Ferrell Still Has It

Nothing about Will Ferrell is all that surprising.  That is to say, his shtick is pretty predictable.  You’re going to get some type of visual shocker - an outfit or a hairstyle, facial growth, even in-your-face nudity – an expected tone of voice and rhythm to his speech, and then the casual, seemingly innocent personal attack to bring it home.

Generally speaking, when a dude or an act becomes anticipated, it ceases to be effective.  But Ferrell is a master of the random.  Therein lies his genius.  You know something is coming.  You have a pretty decent idea of the means of delivery.  But it always catches you just enough off-guard to make you laugh.

He's still good...though he's really starting to look old.
