Hetero folks love Will Ferrell. He is, according to most straight folks, god’s gift to comedy. From his childish antics in Old School to his lady-playing childish antics in The Wedding Crashers, Will Ferrell is considered gold when it comes to comedies.
Despite his propensity for playing the exact same character in every movie, heteros think that Ferrell is an A-list actor. If you find yourself watching a Will Ferrell movie with a hetero person, be sure to be quiet, or you will be told, “Shhh… This line is really funny.” This is especially true if Ferrell, or his best friend in the movie, is about to do something especially straight, immature, or sexist. A Ferrell movie is bound to be laced with homosexual undertones, as Ferrell and his best friend tend to bond over their mutual pursuit over women and deny their own homosocial desire, but do not point this out to a hetero fan. He or she will certainly be confused and consider this another case of you seeing everything as “gay.”
If you find yourself at a loss for a topic of conversation with a hetero, bringing up the latest Will Ferrell movie is always a good move. It doesn’t matter if you have seen it or not. We strongly suggest just renting an older Ferrell movie, sitting down with drinks, and getting the gist of it. Drinks will certainly help you cope. Your hetero acquaintance will probably have seen the most recent movie; just nod and talk in generalities about Ferrell’s performance. Be prepared to fake a laugh when they quote a Ferrell movie.
