Excellent movie.
One thing I love about the movie is the mixture of stupidity and realism, like the scene with Ron and Veronica in the car.
Ron Burgundy: Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale's vagina.
Veronica Corningstone: No, there's no way that's correct.
And after the fight
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.
When I first watched this movie I cracked a smile every now and then but was disappointed. The next day I randomly cracked up at quotes and situations. I watched it again and laughed my ass off. Then I watched it 2 more times and rented it again twice.
I need to own it

On a side-note, Eric watch Dodgeball again until you appreciate it. Although not nearly as good as Anchorman, it's hilarious.
Besides the obvious jokes, the thought behind some of the jokes is hilarious.
One of my favorite parts is when Kate comes to his office and he comes running down reading the dictionary to impress her. I find that to be funny in itself but mostly cause he did it before. He actually sat down and thought of a way to impress a woman and came up with something that lame.
And what he says afterwards, lmao
"You know in some cultures they only eat vomit. I've never actually been there but I read about it... in a book *laughs*". His laugh is so fucking good.
And when Ben Stiller and his team go to the bar to threaten them. The concept of a dodgeball team going to a bar to threaten a rival team is just so fucking stupid. Funny stuff.
Ben Stiller's best role since that movie with fatcamp. His character is just so shitty.
