I cannot understand the fascination with this movie. It's so stupid and unfunny. Will Ferrell is a dumbass and every character overacts like they're doing a high school stage play. Yet this shitty movie that came out like 20 fricking years ago is a huge classic with all kinds of merchandise and shit. What the frick?
What is the deal? Are Christmas movies just SO shit that this is just one of the better ones? Jingle All The Way is forgotten but Elf has a legacy, frick this world.

Everybody hated this movie when it came out. I had no idea it was popular until this year
>simple story about family
>very few roody-poos
>makes white people reproducing look normal
>very few roody-poos
>midget jokes
>Ed Asner
>prime deschanel
Guarantee Will Ferell is going to play a role in the upcoming presidential election, campaigning or whatever. That's why this movie is being astroturfed so hard.
Movie has been getting astroturfed for almost 20 years. You're a crazy person
Will Ferrell was THE Bush parody guy back in the day, zoomie.
zoey deschanel is pretty hot in it
When she is not?
When she cuts her bangs and doesn't have glasses on. Google it. Or don't I don't give A FRICK.
It sucks but it's light-years better than anything made today.
now
Can't you homosexuals just watch literally any other Zooey Deschanel movie?
It's the only one where she's blonde
Remember a few baseball spring trainings ago Will Ferell was supposed to bounce around from team to team playing every position on the field. It was supposed to be for a TV show or something but I guess it never got made or nobody gave a shit or something, because it's completely forgotten.
Literally Googled "Will Ferrell Baseball Show"

That happened and it was a show I watched it
There are so many hot women who are only in shitty movies, like Zooey, MEW, Rooney Mara...
>Cinemaphile autists don’t understand humor
Just because normies like it doesn’t mean it’s bad
It requires not being a sardonic wretch who runs everything through the shit test filter. You ever thing the common denominator of your unhappiness is you? MERRY CHRISTMAS
>It's so stupid
This is the appeal to me. The humor is in the stupidity of it all. Like how he thinks chewee gum is candy so he eats it thinkin its like Santa's Workshop candy. Or he doesn't understand lingerie so he sends it to his dad because it was advertised as a gift for that 'special person' or something.
For reference, my favorite Christmas movie is Charlie Brown's Christmas.
>It's so stupid and unfunny
Yeah bro i'm sure if the movie was about Soijaks you'd be praising it as comedy of the decade.
It's funny you say that because Elf is a movie where Will Ferrell spends 90 minutes being a massive soijak
>a massive soijak
Literally. This was his reaction the entire movie.
it is pretty funny for family-friendly broad comedy. Unique and fun premise. Also every other attempt at creating an enduring Christmas movie after Home Alone has pretty much failed, so by default it is remembered pretty well.
But sure, kinda overrated
Was gonna link the JoJo Sparkle the Elf video but looks like she deleted them. She did the cotton ball eating bit and I'm pretty sure she committed to the bit.
When she does a character like Sparkle or Paul-La and fangirls over herself she pulls it off, anybody else it would be weird
For how israeli it is, I was surprised there is a cross on a wall at one point.
it’s like cringe humor or whatever i’m not a fan
It's that one movie where I fell in love with Zoey. She looked so cute girl nextdoor, with a sweet singing voice
Soijak Christmas movie
Never seen it. Never will. Don't care for Will Ferrell.
zoomers desperately want to cling to their identity and do so through media that "belongs" to them. It is not as much a rejection of films made before them, but the need to have something of their own. This is "their" christmas movie. It absolutely drops off in the second half and anyone who doesn't see it is wearing some serious rose tinted glasses.
I’ve never even been able to make it as far as the second half …
this is a movie that got played on tv before the great shift of people no longer watching tv. casual exposure can do wonders
This. I remember seeing it on TV all the fricking time. That probably does have a lot to do with its popularity despite being a horrible film.
its just a comfy innocent christmas movie man. its gonna be okay
it’s not comfy at all
I never enjoyed it, but they showed it many times in school to widespread approval from my peergroup. It's the scenes where a grown man is acting like a child that are painful. Zooey Deschanel is hot.
Zoey makes the movie watchable but Will Farrell is at his worst in the film.
I think it's becoming popular because millennials are now old enough to have families and they're trying to pass the nostalgia along to their kids.
Why is it shit?
>every character over acts
Not really? Everyone for the most part is a soft spoken miser while Ferrel is overacting, which was the point
>unfunny
there’s some funny shit.
It ranks pretty high amongst my list of
Christmas kinos. The best would be the jim Carrey grinch, worst would be like Scrooged or wakkos wish.
>Elf
>kino
This is just pathetic
>t. Cotton headed ninny muggins
Elf chads, rise up. Our time is now.
Manchild comedy is not funny
step brothers-lite just doesn’t do it
I was a latchkey kid when this came out and my mom made me go to that extended schoolday thing when she found a metric frickton of incest porn on my computer, and a collection of about 2,000 rounds of ammunition that i had shoplifted from walmart when i was in 6th grade. All they would play was this every fricking afternoon year round. I hated this movie so much i started falling my geography teacher a homosexual (he was really really gay) until i got expelled and had to go to an alternative school that was run by a company that contracts minimum security prisons. We would get searched and patted down hy a zesty homie every morning. Turns out that he was diddlin josh lindenmeyer who was this redheaded ginger homosexual that i beat the frick out of but now i kind of feel bad because that zesty homie was tossing his salad on the reg. Frickin way she goes though (shouldnt have been a ginger... sucks to suck go get molested about it lol).
God i hate that fricking movie. It ruined my life and possibly contributed to josh lindenmeyer getting fingerblasted by a zesty latino at the CEP school on semoran next to the burger king and abc liquor in orlando florida during the early/mid 2000s. Fricking syrup on pasta. Frick outta here.
Now you’re a weird latchkey adult, funny how that works out.
You sound like a moron who blames everyone but themselves for their issues. Merry Christmas dumbass
Oh yeah I forgot that rat from Game of Thrones was in this movie.
This movie is part of why zillennials are such pieces of shit who think screaming as loud as possible is top comedy, watching it as kids completely fricked their heads
>SANTA!!!!!!!
Seriously, this isn't a joke and isn't funny. It doesn't even make sense in the context of the movie. It's not like he only see's Santa once a year, he lives near the dude.
>It doesn't even make sense in the context of the movie. It's not like he only see's Santa once a year, he lives near the dude.
He is sent on a thousand mile long journey by Santa and is excited to see him again to retell his story
explanations after the fact are what normally would be meta or anti-humor. In this case, it's simply not humor and failure on the movies part. Set up, punchline. The characters energy is trying to make up for the lack of writing.
>I completely misunderstood this scene made for the tiniest of little babies
holy frick no wonder everyone laughs when this board tries to make serious recommendations on movies
I don't know, it almost matches the energy I have whenever I see my dog and I see that little idiot multiple times a day
Eat less soi
>stop finding happiness in little things
no way gay
The director made capeshit and star wars, so redditors worship every project he is attached to
The only people who hate this movie were people who went to poor public schools as a kid.
I went to a poor public school and they never played Elf there. They played Space Jam. I've seen Space Jam like 70 times and I can close my eyes and replay the entire movie in my head. I get glassy-eyed flashbacks like a Vietnam homie when I hear the theme song. I never saw Elf at all because it seemed gay and unfunny until I caught it on TV once when there was nothing else to do.
I still think Elf is lame and gay. It's just a shitty movie that is inexplicably well regarded.
90% of Will Farrell movies are crap, dude plays the same unfunny character in almost everything he's in, but he's a modern day snl "comedian" so what can you really expect.
Teachers kept trying to show this movie in school when it was new and everyone would groan and complain about it
This movie isn't animated and can keep an elementary school classroom enthralled for it's entire duration. Do you have any idea how rare that is?
When I was in elementary school kids were watching Die Hard and Robocop
