Will Ferrell named worst autograph signer

December 18th, 2007 // 75 Comments

Will Ferrell was officially named the worst celebrity autograph signer. Despite having a huge fanbase the comedy actor hates signing autographs, Steve Cyrkin, the editor and publisher of Autograph magazine, told Reuters:

“What’s so frustrating about Will Ferrell being the worst autograph signer this past year is that he used to be so nice to fans and collectors, and a great signer. What makes him so bad is that he’ll taunt people asking for his autograph.”

Holy crap, is Will Ferrell wearing a cowboy hat? That is hilarious. Seriously, where does this guy come up with stuff? I don’t care that he pisses in his fan’s faces and won’t sign autographs. Walk around with a cowboy hat like that and you’re A-okay in my book. Aw, man, I hope he gets gratuitously naked in his next movie. That gag never gets old!

    I name him ‘Worst wearer of a cowboy hat’. I’ve never seen a hat look that bad on someone. The ‘Fro has to go.

    So not only is he not funny but he’s an asshole? Good going Will.

    I have a huge grudge against this guy since he said “Who cares about that freak anymore anyway?” about Lindsay Lohan. Way to bully and publically humiliate a teenager, one-trick pony.

    He’s like Adam Sandler – not funny, and a complete prick in real life. But retards like veggi love their movies, so the rest of us are stuck with them. Thanks, tards.

    Mike, You’re stuck with them? How about finding a mind of your own and watching things you enjoy? I know, individualism is hard for jackasses such as yourself… and by the way, Grandmas Boy is brilliant…. in which Adam Sandler helped make. Now, go watch your clueless humorless life fly by without enjoyment. Cheers.

    I agree with you on Adam Sandler. He seems like a really funny guy in real life, during interviews and such. But when he’s “acting” he just comes of like this retarded assclown and not funny at all.

    Sorry for the dubbelpost! Also: I thought Will Ferrell was hilarious in Old School. I still don’t get why that Luke-fellow keeps getting parts in comedies. Now that guy is not even remotely funny. He just keeps playing the character over and over again.

    I think he’s a jackass if this story is true. He gets paid millions, the least he can do is sign an autograph for someone. Stars have no rights! They exist for the public.

    Ol’ Billy-Bob Will learned something this past year: He ain’t funny. Someone explained to him that maybe the first time he ran almost naked in a movie, flailing his arms, it was funny – - the fifth, or sixth time, c’mon. Now Ferrell’s bitter.

    Hey, Willy? I’m kidding of-course. The nudity is the only thing you have going for you. Honestly, I’ve never understood your stardom. You were never funny on SNL. I mean, Saturdat Night Live hasn’t been funny in over a decade but, you, you were horrible. Breaking character by laughing in ever skit. Fuck, man, you really suck. Do you know that?

    A few years back, on two seperate days, I had Mel Gibson and Harrison Ford in my office (I sold motorcycles at the time).

    Anyhow, when we finished, Harrison stood by while people ran to grab Polaroid cameras and posed with them and then signed them. I thought, pretty cool.

    When Mel and I finished signing paperwork he refused to sign any autographs or take pictures with people. He offered a handshake and a brief “worship people who actually do something worthwhile for a living, doctors and teachers.” Again, pretty cool.

    I’m glad to see others that don’t think this guy is funny. He is a creep besides. Also on the not funny list are Robin Williams, Steven Colbert, Steve Carell, Dennis Leary, Billy Cristal, and George W. Bush.

    I love when people on here address the person/celebrity directly in thier post, like that person will be getting done filming for the day and runs home to read the superficial. Now that’s funny.

    Ummm… so who exactly do you find funny?… no one? Personally, I love Will Farrell, asshole or not. The reasons I find him funny have nothing to do with him being a nice guy or ‘down to earth’. He cracks me up in his movies, and that’s all I can ask of any comedian.

    Sometimes you posters here are just sooooo funny. Yeah, Will Ferrell is not funny at all. Right. I am curious as to whom exactly some of you chumps ripping him think is funny? Joan Rivers? Rip Taylor? Larry the fucking Cable Guy? Oh and by the way, asking for autographs is about the dumbest fucking thing ever. Anyone asking for autographs ought to be shot in the face and then pissed on. Losers…

    Will Ferrell is so funny, Old School was great (despite having no plot), Anchorman was great, Elf was great, even Kicking and Screaming was great. I agree, those of you who said he’s not funny, please tell us who IS funny. It should be very enlightening.

    I dont think Adam Sandler should be lumped into the same category as this asshat. Grandmas boy was pretty damn funny, as was Billy Madison. Hell the onlyunfunny movie Sandler was in was punch drunk love. That was just a horrible script.
