I remember thinking the show was pretty dumb too (I was a sophomore in high school).
But just reading Will Ferrel and Manimal in the same sentence makes me laugh. I'm in.

i just learned that will ferrell's nickname is manimal:

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-b...is-own-baseball-reference-page-232607216.html

Every detail from Ferrell's 10-team, 10-position tour is chronicled, stats included, and Baseball Reference even fills in a few of the blanks many of us wondered about.

His nickname, for example, is "Manimal."

He "bats" right-handed. Many of us saw his two right-handed plate appearances on Thursday, but his swing left many questioning if that was his natural side, or whether he even had a natural side.

TV Guide ranked "Manimal" number 15 on their list of 50 worst TV shows of all time in 2002.

Will Farrell needs to DIAF.

He's just NOT funny.

look, I know Abbot & Costello died about 5 decades ago, but you could at least stretch your culture a wee bit and try to appreciate at least a small bit of culture from 2 decades ago....

:p

Sadly, that doesn't help...many of the recent "comedians just aren't at all funny...unless you're some brain-dead millennial who hasn't been exposed to actual funny people, just stupid cartoons and anime. :p

I could see the pitch to the movie studio.

Pitch man: "We take the worst actor of the last 20 years and pair them with one of the worst TV shows of the 1980s."
Studio Executive: "You are going to remake The land of the Lost?"
Pitch man: "We already done that and the movie sucked balls, but we are going to take the same actor, Will Farrell and turn him into Manamial"
Studio Executive: "what a great idea!"
