Chazz: Night is a very dark time for me.
Jimmy: It’s dark for everyone, idiot!
Chazz: Not for people who live in Alaska. Or people with night-vision goggles.
Chazz: Personal philosophy: Clothing optional.
Chazz: It makes my hair shine like the Belt of Orion.

Ron Burgundy (to dog): You’re so wise. You’re like a miniature Buddha covered with hair.
Ron Burgundy: I don’t know how to put this but I’m kind of a big deal.
Veronica Corningstone: Really.
Ron Burgundy: People know me.
Veronica Corningstone: Well, I’m very happy for you.
Ron Burgundy: I’m very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.
Ron Burgundy: I’m in a glass case of emotion.
Ron Burgundy: Son of a bee-sting.
Ron Burgundy (looking in mirror): Mmmmm… I look good. I mean really good. Hey everyone… come and see how good I look.

Ricky Bobby, played by Will Ferrell, is the top NASCAR driver; but after a crash and a new driver comes into the scene, he faces many challenges while trying to hold on to his number one spot.
Ricky Bobby: You gotta win to get love. I mean, that’s just life. Look at…look at Dona Shula. Legendary coach. Look at that Asian guy who holds the world record for eatin’ all those hot dogs in a row. Look at Rue McClanahan from The Golden Girls. Three people, all great champions, all loved.
Ricky Bobby: Shake and bake! Ricky Bobby: If you ain’t first, you’re last!
Ricky Bobby: Well, let me give you a saying from Colonel Sanders. I am too drunk to taste this chicken.

Ricky Bobby: It’s like Spanish for like a fighting chicken.
Ricky Bobby: This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love Fig Newtons.
Ricky Bobby: I’ve sent in my application to the Real World. So I’m hoping to hear back from that. I’m putting A LOT of my eggs into that basket, the MTV basket. I’m also thinking about getting a gun, and dealing crack. Being a crack dealer. Not like a mean crack dealer, but like… like a nice one. Kinda friendly like, “hey, what’s up guys? Want some crack?” I’m just waiting on those two things to flesh themselves out.
Ricky Bobby: (running around the racetrack in his underwear, thinks he is on fire) Help me Jesus! Help me Jewish God! Help me Allah! Help me Tom Cruise! Tom Cruise, use your witchcraft on me to get the fire off me! Help me Oprah Winfrey!
Memorable Will Ferrell lines from the movie Stranger than Fiction written by Zach Helm:
Harold Crick, played by Will Ferrell, is an IRS agent whose life is being narrated by a voice only he can hear.
Dr. Jules Hilbert: The thing to determine conclusively is whether you are in a comedy or a tragedy. Have you met anyone who simply might loathe the very core of you?
Harold Crick: I’m an IRS agent. Everyone hates me.
Dr. Jules Hilbert: Well, that sounds like a comedy!
Ana Pascal (upset after Harold refuses to accept her cookies): Go home Harold.
Harold Crick: Okay.
(Harold turns around at door)
Harold Crick: Did- You made those cookies for me, didn’t you.
(Ana looks sad)
Harold Crick: You were just trying to be nice, and I blew it.
(pulls out the little book where he’s tracking his comedy vs. tragedy tallies)
Harold Crick: This may sound like gibberish to you, but I think I’m in a tragedy.
Harold Crick: (sees Ana get on his bus) Miss Pascal! Miss Pascal!
(Ana tries ignoring him, standing in the aisle)
Harold Crick: It’s Harold Crick from the IRS.
Ana Pascal: Hi.
Harold Crick: Hey, do you want a seat?
Ana Pascal: No.
Harold Crick: Because there are 11 empty ones.
Ana Pascal: No. I’m fine.
Harold Crick: So, how are you?
Ana Pascal: I’m lousy. I’m getting audited! By a real creep.
Harold Crick: Miss Pascal, I think I owe you an apology. They give us all sorts of tests and training at the IRS, but I’m afraid they don’t teach us anything about tact or manners. I’m sorry. I o-ogled you.
Ana Pascal: Apology accepted. But only because you stammered.
Harold Crick: So, are you a frequenter of the Metropolitan Transit Authority too?
Ana Pascal: No. I’m just late.
Harold Crick: Flag burning you have to get to?
Ana Pascal: Actually it’s my evil needle point conspiracy theory class. You should come.
Harold Crick: I can’t. I left my thimbles and socialist reading materials at home.
Harold Crick: You have very straight teeth.
Ana Pascal: Thanks.
Karen Eiffel (narrating): Little did he know that this simple seemingly innocuous act would result in his imminent death.
Harold Crick: What? What? Hey! HELLOOO! What? Why? Why MY death? HELLO? Excuse me? WHEN?
Ana Pascal: Did you like the cookies?
Harold Crick: Yes. Thank you for forcing me to eat them.
Memorable Will Ferrell lines from the movie ELF written by David Berenbaum:
Buddy, played by Will Ferrell, is an elf come to New York in search of his father.
(Sees the mail room for the first time)
Buddy: It’s just like Santa’s workshop! Except it smells like mushrooms… and everyone looks like they wanna hurt me…
Buddy: We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup.
Buddy: (out of breath from chasing Michael) Wow, you’re fast. I’m glad I caught up to you. I waited 5 hours for you. Why is your coat so big? So, good news – I saw a dog today. Have you seen a dog? You probably have. How was school? Was it fun? Did you get a lot of homework? Huh? Do you have any friends? Do you have a best friend? Does he have a big coat, too?…
Michael: – Go away!
Buddy: Who the heck are you?

Kid with Santa: Four.
Gimbel’s Santa: You’re a big boy. What’s your name?
Kid with Santa: Paul.
Gimbel’s Santa: Now what can I get you for Christmas?
Buddy: Don’t tell him what you want, he’s a liar.
Gimbel’s Santa: Let the kid talk.
Buddy: You disgust me! How can you live with yourself?
Gimbel’s Santa: Just cool it, Zippy.
Buddy: You sit on a throne of lies.
Gimbel’s Santa: Look, I’m not kiddin’.
Buddy: You’re a fake.
Gimbel’s Santa: I’m a fake?
Buddy: Yes!
Gimbel’s Santa: How’d you like to be dead, huh? Ho, ho, just kidding.
Buddy: You stink.
Gimbel’s Santa: I think you’re gonna have a good Christmas, all right.
Buddy: You smell like beef and cheese, you don’t smell like Santa.
Buddy: Francisco! That’s fun to say! Francisco… Frannncisco… Franciscooo…
Buddy: SANTA! OH MY GOD! SANTA’S COMING! I KNOW HIM! I KNOW HIM!
Buddy: It’s just nice to meet another human that shares my affinity for elf culture.
Buddy: Son of a nutcracker!
Buddy: I think you’re really beautiful and I feel really warm when I’m around you and my tongue swells up. …So, do you wanna eat food?
