I agree with the veggie on this.

The other movie wasn't anything special either but I voted for it over Zoo.

Hmmm

Zoolander = the walkoff, Bowie cameo, coolest sex scene in any movie ever....
Anchorman = nothing really....

Not that hard to decide :)

They were both pretty awful but Ben Stiller is magnitudes worse than Will Ferrell. Stiller has an aura of suck about him that nearly equals Tom Cruise's.

I wish we somehow had the age of the people who voted, along with their vote. I feel like people younger than me would all say anchorman, while people older than me would say zoolander.

The gasoline fight in Zoolander is comedy gold.

It's filled with very funny moments assembled by a chimp with late stage syphilis. Similar to dodge ball, the overall effect makes me want to spew.

One or two doses of Ben Stiller is all that should ever have been. There's Something About Mary and the Original Meet the Parents. Stop there.

They're both stupid movies, but anything with Will Ferrell in it sucks more than anything it's compared to. In this case, he was in Anchorman more than Zoolander so that's how the vote goes.

That was unfunny as well. About the only thing I've seen Christopher W. in that I didn't like.

I thought Zoolander was terrible. Many parts of it actually really annoy me.

Anchorman on the other hand I thought was hilarious. The Jazz flute part, the big fight, etc all cracked me up

I think Will Ferrell is hilarious. Very infrequently I see him in something I don't think is hilarious, recently I watched "The Other Guys"... That movie was really funny.

I thought W's role in Balls of Fury was terribly misguided.

I voted for Anchorman because it's gotten funnier with repeated viewings. Zoolander is OK, but doesn't have the "LOLGASFIGHT" effect after that first time.

For what they were, Zoolander was competent and Anchorman excelled. Both are enjoyable to me, but Anchorman is clearly superior. There was a wider variety of gags, a larger enamble cast that was used extremely well, and it was a lot more consistent from beginning to end. As far as plain old whacky characters, both Zoolander and Ron Burgendy are right up there with the best of all time alongside Ace Ventura and Austin Powers. I can watch any of these movies over and over and laugh my ass off every single time.
