12.16.08 WILL FERRELL’S BROADWAY SHOW ABOUT W.
Not long ago, I brought you news that Will Ferrell would be playing George W. Bush on Broadway next month in a one-man show called You’re Welcome America. A Final Night With George W Bush. It opens January 20th, inauguration day, with plans to run from Feb 1 to March 15 at the Cort Theater. As you can see, today we have promo video. Partial transcript:
Change is necessary. Without change, we’d all wear the same clothes every day, and only watch the movie Tango and Cash. So I’m leavin the white house to go tear Dallas a new party hole. But don’t worry, the Tiger Woods guy is taking over, and he seems to know stuff.
Will Ferrell is still one of the best comedic actors around and Dubya is one of his better impressions. But keep in mind, this video was less than two minutes long. I’ve seen student-run plays that ran two and a half hours plus (and you better believe someone deserved to get knifed afterwards). So the question is, what are Ferrell and McKay gonna do for the other 90 or so minutes of this? I’m not saying I won’t pay to find out, but you better believe I’m gonna get really, really stoned first.

Fucking half assed pretzel.
I wish it was Frank Caliendo instead.
*looks up from article about guy who was castrated*
Now what’s this post about?
You can see my dick through my pants now.
They’re dickie pants.
^How did that post get there?
30 seconds past January 20 and no one will ever want to hear about G.W. Bush again (as if they do right now).
This show is cruisin’ for a bruisin’, lookin’ for a cookin’, and will make theatrical history by closing BEFORE it actually opens.
Unless of course the audience* is given free shoes at the door and encouraged to toss them.
*assuming the audience is made up of Iraqi immigrant journalists
You know, the more I watch Step Brothers, the funnier “Alice! Dane Cook, pay-per-view, 20 minutes!” gets.
Two minutes too long. Shooting fish in a barrel gets kinda boring after a while, unless you’re shooting sharks or puffer fish.
Amazingly, my desire to see this play is equal to my desire to see the real Bush speak. I hope George takes Will Ferrell with him when he leaves.
Having problems with FD, Jacktion!?
FD = Funnyrectile Dissorder?
God, I’ve been having FD for two weeks.
Bursny, try new Tekila. From your friends at Pfiser.
FD = Flinging Diarrhea.
I just can’t stop myself.
GWB went to broad way and asked, “Alright, just how do the broads do it?”
Felching Donk?

Will Ferrell is still one of the best comedic actors around
** spit take **
I don’t want to start a big “well who is better?” argument, but if you honestly believe this, what a statement about the state of film comedy. I’ve watched my cat cough up hairballs funnier than Will Ferrell.
I hope Will strips down to his underwear and runs around yelling in this play, cuz that shit is hiiiiilaaaaarrrrious!! ROTFJO!!
New up, and it just got even less funny in here.
(^^ That was not to disparage Vance, BTK.)
As much as I love Will and his Dubya impression (strategery is part of my everyday vocabulary), I’d rather see 90 minutes of his most underrated character, the doctor who loses the baby.
“Palaminos?! Yes! They’re gorgeous! Beautiful golden fur!”
And it’s too bad that a Robert Goulet show would be in bad taste. That one pretty much writes itself.
