Anchorman's Greatest Gift to Cinema Is How Quotable It Is | CineFix Top 100

In 2004, Will Ferrell and Adam McKay revitalized comedy in the aughts with 90 minutes of pure, goofball nonsense behind the desk of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. The whatever-is-funniest-wins approach to the story of San Diego’s Channel 4 News Team is absurd in all the right ways. Clint and Alex (Cal is still struggling with his case of Fireman’s Elbow) talk about improv in close ups, the importance of buttons in comedic fight scenes and how Ron Burgundy gave us memes before memes were a thing.

Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm is getting busy on the most beautiful rainbow you can imagine.
