Anchorman

[Gopher]

It really, really isn't.

I'm Ron Burgundy. Go fuck yourself, San Diego Noctis.

[baumer]

Please dont report that last post Noctis. Im laughing my ass off right now. Its almost a direct quote from the movie.I dont quite know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.

[Noctis]

Why on earth would I report that?

[Jack Nevada]

I watched this for the 17th rime last night. God I love this movie

[SchumacherFTW]

It's alright, but I prefer some of Ferrell's other efforts like Talladega Nights and Step Brothers. I won't deny the film is funny, and at times downright hilarious (especially when they meet another news crew), but there just seemed to be something lacking compared to TN and SB.B

[Noctis]

The interactions between the different news crews was so painfully unfunny. Will Ferrell talking to his dog, and 90% of Steve Carrell's performance were the only genuinely things about the movie. And the baby's first word.

[Jack Nevada]

Anchorman is a rare movie, because every scene has at least 1 memorable situation and at least 2 hilarious quote. Imo this beats even Airplane in the consistency of funny gags

[SchumacherFTW]

HERECY!!!!!!

[SchumacherFTW]

BLASPHEMY!!!!!

Airplane destroys Anchorman.

Airplane destroys Anchorman.

I thought that was a JOKE. I even wrote it down in my diary, Noctis made a very funny joke today.

[Jack Nevada]

Noctis, if you were a man, I'd punch you. Punch you right in the mouth. Thats bush. Bush league. YOU HEAR ME?! NOCTIS! LOOK AT ME!!I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Alright?

[Jack Nevada]

Aaaaand I watched this again. It must be the 20th time already. I cant help myself, its the greatest film ever made! And I'm not even joking.

Ed Harken: A lot of you have been hearing the affiliates complaining about a lack of diversity on the news team. 
Champ Kind: What in the hell's diversity? 
Ron Burgundy: Well, I could be wrong, but I believe diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era. 
Ed Harken: Ron, I would be surprised if the affiliates were concerned about the lack of an old, old wooden ship, but nice try.

 

 

Ed Harken: [on the phone] I have no idea where he would have gotten ahold of German pornography. But you and I are mature adults; we've both seen our share of pornographic materials. Oh, you never have? Of course you haven't, how stupid of me. Neither have I. I was just speaking in generalities. Right. I'll stop by the school a little later, Sister Margaret. Bye.

 

Ed Harken: Apparently, my son was on something called "Acid," and was shooting a bow and arrow into a crowd.

 

 

Ed Harken: [on the phone with his son] Put down the gun, and let the marching band go. We'll play it off as a prank.

 

 

Just a few of my favorite quotes, taken from IMDB.  This is easily the most quotable and consistently funny film since Dumb and Dumber, IMO.

 BEST ANCHORMAN QUOTES

 

 Veronica Corningstone: Mr. Burgundy, you are acting like a baby. 

Ron Burgundy: I'm not a baby, I am a man. I am an anchorman. 
Veronica Corningstone: You are not a man. You are a big fat joke. 
Ron Burgundy: I'm a man who discovered the wheel and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn. That's what kind of man I am. You're just a woman with a small brain. With a brain a third the size of us. It's science. 
Veronica Corningstone: I will have you know that I have more talent and more intelligence in my little finger than you do in your entire body, sir. 
Ron Burgundy: You are a smelly pirate hooker. 
Veronica Corningstone: You look like a blueberry. 
Ron Burgundy: Why don't you go back to your home on Whore Island?

 

 Brian Fantana:  I'll give this little cookie an hour before we're doing the no-pants dance. Time to musk up. 

Ron Burgundy: Wow. Never ceases to amaze me. What cologne you gonna go with? London Gentleman, or wait. No, no, no. Hold on. Blackbeard's Delight. 
Brian Fantana: No, she gets a special cologne... It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good. 
Ron Burgundy: It's quite pungent. 
Brian Fantana: Oh yeah. 
Ron Burgundy: It's a formidable scent... It stings the nostrils. In a good way. 
Brian Fantana: Yep. 
Ron Burgundy: Brian, I'm gonna be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline. 
Brian Fantana: They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time. 
Ron Burgundy: That doesn't make sense. 
Brian Fantana: Well... Let's go see if we can make this little kitty purr.

 

 Ron Burgundy: What? You pooped in the refrigerator? And you ate the whole... wheel of cheese? How'd you do that? Heck, I'm not even mad; that's amazing. 

 

 Ron Burgundy: I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

 

 Ron Burgundy: I'm gonna punch you in the ovary, that's what I'm gonna do. A straight shot. Right to the babymaker.

 

 Ron Burgundy: Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast. 

Champ Kind: It jumped up a notch. 
Ron Burgundy: It did, didn't it? 
Brick Tamland: Yeah, I stabbed a man in the heart. 
Ron Burgundy: I saw that. Brick killed a guy. Did you throw a trident? 
Brick Tamland: Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident. 
Ron Burgundy: Brick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder.

 

 Ron Burgundy: [sporting an erection after talking to Veronica, addressing the office] Don't act like you're not impressed.

 

Brick Tamland: I love... carpet. 
[pause] 
Brick Tamland: I love... desk. 
Ron Burgundy: Brick, are you just looking at things in the office and saying that you love them? 
Brick Tamland: I love lamp. 
Ron Burgundy: Do you really love the lamp, or are you just saying it because you saw it? 
Brick Tamland: I love lamp. I love lamp.

 

Ed Harken: [on the phone with his son] Put down the gun, and let the marching band go. We'll play it off as a prank.

 

Brian Fantana: I know what you're asking yourself and the answer is yes. I have a nick name for my penis. Its called the Octagon, but I also nick named my testes - my left one is James Westfall and my right one is Doctor Kenneth Noisewater. You ladies play your cards right you just might get to meet the whole gang.

 

 

and my personal favorite

 

Brian Fantana: Champ Kind: I will smash your face into a car windshield, and then take your mother, Dorothy Mantooth, out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again.
