About Anchorman (2004)
It is arguable that in 2004, true comedy was born in San Diego, California! This grandiose presentation rotating around TV anchor personalities in the 70s is a gold mine. Duh, California! Anchorman was directed by Adam McKay, and written by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. The film stars Will Ferrell (Ron Burgundy), Steve Carrell (Brick Tamland), Paul Rudd (Brian Fantana), Christina Applegate (Veronica Corningstone), David Koechner (Champ Kind), and many more.
Admittedly I would run this whole movie as a quote because it has that kind of place in my heart, but for you all, I’ll give you my twenty-five favorites. Some will make you laugh, some cry, and others will have you pondering the majesty of life. By the end of these Anchorman quotes, we might even get ourselves an apartment together and wear the finest of suits. Just do me a favor and don’t put question marks in the teleprompter.
