WTF Happened to Will Ferrell?

As comedian Will Ferrell walked across the magnificent stage of The Kennedy Center to accept the greatest honour an American funny person can receive: The Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, something happened that made us all remember why he is getting this prestigious honour. The award instantly slipped from Will’s hilarious fingers, shattering this legendary humorist’s bust all over the floor. An obvious gag, that was so damn fitting to what Will represents in the history of the art of doing silly stuff. Without breaking character for a second, Will hilariously tries to pick up the pieces as the world just sits back and laughs… but not laughing at him; we are laughing with him. The appeal of Will Ferrel comes from his innocent attitude that elevates simple stupid jokes to performance art. As Mr. Ferrell once said, “What I recognized when I started doing comedy was that I'm probably not the wittiest, not the fastest on my feet, but the one thing I can guarantee is that I won't hold anything back.” And that funny philosophy of not holding back put this man on top of the comedy world, delivering hit after hit before he hit an inevitable wall.
