Will Farrell and the Office

Am Im the only one who hates him in the office???

1. I was disappointed, too. I usually laugh a lot when watching the show, but

it only made me laugh once in the last episode, when Will attempted to slam dunk a basketball in a portable goal.

I think he'd have more potential if there were more chemistry between himself & Dwight. I don't understand why the writers don't showcase Creed more.

8. I love creed

I think he is so underused, i mean what is it down to, one line severy two or three episodes???

[Drunken Irishman]

2. No. His character is very, very unlikable...

3. well he's gone now. sorry you had to suffer through 3 episodes.

I thought he played his character well.

[Ramulux]

4. I loved him

He was hilarious.

5. If there's anyone who could portray a worse boss than Steve Carrell, it's Will Ferrell

Technically, yes, he's got the role of of 'bad boss' down pat, but he's neglected the likability factor. As much as I fantasized about slapping some sense into Michael Scott, I still felt pangs of empathy at times for a narcissistic character who showed flashes of humanity occasionally. Deangelo Vickers doesn't do that for me; Ferrell hasn't played the character consistently, even in a single episode, and doesn't engender any sort of affection on my part. Ferrell has been all over the place during this brief stint, which looks for all the world like a series of unrelated SNL skits.

9. Its not the fact that he is unlikeable

My favourite charcarters from tv have always been unlikeable, the Great Dr Ramano from ER, Richard Bay from the Practise, even the Texas lawyer from Boston Legal, Tbag from prison break, I just dont think will farell was good or his charcarter well written.

6. Farrell honored Jervais' cringe-comedy style.

The unlikeable factor was huge in the British version, not so much in the american one.

7. Love him in the Office

A taste of the original, more bitter version.

[brettdale]

10. I thought he was too mean

and relished being mean, David Brent did dumb things, but he never wanted to be a bully.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

11. It's like Andy Kauffman anti-comedy.

Sometimes Ferrell's going to be Ron Burgundy.

Sometimes he's going to be way, way, way below expectations.

And it's all part of his master plan.

Anyone who expected him to be over the top on "The Office" hasn't been following his career.

[brettdale]

12. I didnt expect him to be over the top

I expected him to be well written and well acted, the charcarter just bored me.

13. I think it was a bit uneven, but got better over the course of the four episodes

:kick:

[mackerel]

14. He was o.k.

There were some good scenes like the crazy cake eating scene in which both Dwight & Jim knew they had to get him to go.
