It's not funny because of stupidity. It's actually quite clever and portrays anchormen of the 70's in a funny way. For example, whenever a broadcast is over, during the credits you can see anchorman talking but you can't hear them. Well in the movie, they take it as they talk shit to each other ("im going to punch you in the ovaries, right in the baby maker"). I didn't think I'd like it at all, but it's easily the funniest thing I've seen all year. I think it's clever humor and I've come to the conclusion (over the many talks Ive had with my friends) that you either the type of person that likes Dodgeball or the type that likes Anchorman (no idea how these get compared all the time). And Dodgeball is a shitty movie.
Film & TV I watch Anchorman almost every week

Brian: Sex Panther, made by Odion, illegal in 9 countries. (opens box and panther pops up).
Ron: It's quite pungent-in a good way. It stings the nostrils.
Brian: It's made with real panther bits, so you know it's good.
Ron: Brian I'm going to be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline.
(brian walks over to Veronica)
Veronica: Oh my god, what is that smell?
Brian: It's the smell of desire me lady.
LMAO.
actually i only typed 3 jokes.........so stop complaining
yeah, anchorman is basically slap-stick but i enjoy both witty and stupid humor. i haven't seen a comdey movie in a long ass time (i think the last time i went to/rented a comedy movie was when how high came out.) i found many parts of the movie funny because it was just so stupid...anyways id rent it again if given the chance

Craaaazzy i tell ya. But yeah basically the humor doesnt appeal it to me. Its too blatant and if it wasnt for Will Ferrel's confidence in delivering stupid lines, it would have had NO chance of being remotely funny.
I think Meet the Parents, Old School, Meet the Fockers, and Along Came Polly were by FARR funnier. They all had that Family Guy humor, that in my opinion is much funnier than that dumb in your face laugh at me im an idiot saying stupid things type of humor.

btw, has anyone seen that napoleon dynamite movie.the mindless people at my school seem to be obsessed with it, almost as if it is cool to say "oh ya man i saw it too..huh,huh great stuff" and the yell "tina eat your food"......personally i think it looks stupid as hell, any reviews?

Brian Fantana: I think I was in love once.
Ron Burgundy: Really? What was her name?
Brian Fantana: I don't remember.
Ron Burgundy: That's not a good start, but keep going...
Brian Fantana: She was Brazilian, or Chinese, or something weird. I met her in the bathroom of a K-Mart and we made out for hours. Then we parted ways, never to see each other again.
Ron Burgundy: I'm pretty sure that's not love.
Brian Fantana: Damn it!
[pause]
Brick Tamland: I love... carpet.
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
