The legend that is Will Ferrell is coming to receive an award in UCD next wednesday according to 2fm. Anyone here this ???

Kimbot · 17-01-2008 7:27pm

Its on Bebo and his name is "Will Ferrell".

I would love to get a ticket for this.

bigslick · 17-01-2008 7:30pm

I can confirm he will indeed be appearing on Wednesday. Will be entertaining to say the least

LegacyUser · 17-01-2008 7:49pm

can anyone get a ticket , would it be possible to meet him, i wonder?

bigslick · 17-01-2008 7:52pm

Have to be UCD student i believe to get ticket. They ask for valid UCD student card or else a L&H society membership card

LegacyUser · 17-01-2008 7:56pm

are you sure, will there be many at it ??

Stepherunie · 17-01-2008 8:40pm

That's gonna be packed out, major queues one would say.

I love lamp.

panda100 · 17-01-2008 9:51pm

Am I the only one in the world to find Will ferrell completly unfunny?? He's up there with Adam Sandler in my top two unfunny people of all time list

valor · 17-01-2008 10:12pm

No, I think he is redic unfunny and annoying

me2gud4u · 17-01-2008 10:18pm

anyone know how many hours beforehand you would have to queue to get into something like this?

Riamfada · 17-01-2008 11:50pm

BAA HUMBUG!

Right oh, Will Ferrell is coming to UCD as an invite by the L&H and is being awarded the James Joyce award. I know this because I am on the committee. It will be held in Astra hall on Wednesday at 6pm. L&H members allowed in free while non-members will have to sign up at the stands (in Student centre and Arts block).

According to the Reichsfuhrer of the L&H (Michael Mc Grath), there will be 1000 plus tickets available. Unfortunately, Mr. Ferrell will have to put up with yours truly for the afternoon (and hopefully on the tear after)!! It is good to be alive!!

Feelgood · 17-01-2008 11:56pm

You know if he decided he didn't want to bother coming he could always get Chad from the Chilli peppers to stand in for him....

I still reckon they are the same person....

You're not alone there, although Sandler's early stuff was brilliant (Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, SNL). That being said I probably still might pop in to this depending how I'm fixed for lectures on Wednesday.

Will Ferrell does not say that, its Brick Tamland who says that. Classic film and classic line though.

I'm well aware of that, I just dislike Will Ferrell and said I'd be reasonably in step with the thread.

Astra Hall???? I thought it was O'Reilly? Or are they the same place and no one ever told me!?

dhaddock · 19-01-2008 12:50am

Astra hall is in the student centre, o reilly is across the lake

edit: i might as well add in that i dont like will ferrell enough to queue for hours!

Crap, that comment has blown wind straight up my ass!! Will re-check tomorrow but I am nearly sure it's O' Reilly hall. Again, I will post tomorrow!

You wont have to queue for hours, its a ticketed event. If you're an L&H member then happy days! Its easier to get a ticket! Just go to the desks! For all non L&H members, it's a case of signing up for the tickets. If you're in either category, the tickets will start being available from Monday.

It will be awesome!

Lat time I checked Thursday wasn't Wednesday! Both should be excellent nights!

RandolphEsq · 19-01-2008 11:42am

Why is he getting an award from UCD? He's an actor. Oh that's a good enough reason :mad:

Well he's getting it from the L&H, not quite the same thing!

I wonder what James Joyce would think about him getting the award though...

Preset No.3 · 20-01-2008 7:27am

Any truth in the rumour that we will be in 21 later that night?

bigslick · 21-01-2008 12:02am

Hey Ruledbyjames, what L&H member card is this years?

I have a white one with 153rd on it?
that most recent one?

cheers

elmyra · 21-01-2008 1:50am

Yep, this is the 153rd session.

22-01-2008 9:53am

I went on the piss with him last night! It was one of the best nights out I have ever had! His family (dad and brother) are dead sound! We all got drunk as sailors for about 5 hours and he unfortunately he didnt come to Abra after

!

He's a sharp fella like his dad and bro! I just cant wait for Wednesday now!

remus808 · 22-01-2008 12:44pm

Hmm I really don't get the hullabaloo about this one? It's like the Tommy Tiernan thing, it's not a stand-up gig or anything..

HazeyBazey · 22-01-2008 5:38pm

heres the link about it!! and yes its in o reillys hall:D

Don't forget those zany mannerisms and wild flailing arms. :rolleyes:

I don't get the fascination with the guy myself. He's well overrated.

Tom65 · 23-01-2008 9:46pm

Tell me someone got that speech on video. What a great person.

mloc · 23-01-2008 11:26pm

The whole speech is on video, of course. I have it right here.

bigslick · 23-01-2008 11:37pm

i got his singing of 'only for a moment' on video. was such a great event. the first time i didnt get pissed off when it started way late. was so pumped to see him. anyone direct me to photos or video of event to relive my memories. Loved the mention of his bebo pictures from longford lol!!! how i laughed

p.s. westlife speech, GENIUS!!!

Thomas_S_Hunterson · 23-01-2008 11:57pm

Now I'd hardly call it genius, in fact far from it. It was mildly amusing at best, and the endless cliches kind of grated.

simonrooneyzaga · 24-01-2008 2:05pm

please post the videos on youtube! ive been looking foward to this all year but couldnt make it last night - absolutely crushed!

LegacyUser · 25-01-2008 2:46am

is it on youtube???

2Scoops · 25-01-2008 3:11am

Wasn't very hard to find... but it is very hard to hear!

ashyle · 25-01-2008 11:23am

He's one of my favourite actors so I was a bit worried that he wouldn live up to my expectations but wow did he! Amazing night, I laughed from start to finish.. my mate got Will's water bottle from the stage and asked him to sign it. Ha.

What a legend I have so much more respect for him now. When I saw him reading part of the speech I'll admit I was a bit disappointed but in answering those questions from students-good job guys if you're reading

- he showed just how hilarious and off the cuff-funny he can be.

bigslick · 25-01-2008 4:11pm

Apologise for quality but heres my recording of one of my fav moments from that evening:

Yup, stayed in the VIP section for most of the night, but did a lap of the club escorted by bouncers just saying hi to people.

To be honest his speech WAS a stand up gig.. fooking hilarious

Bubs101 · 26-01-2008 6:56pm

TBH, i had thought the best bit by far wasn't down to Will but one of the people who asked him a question. When Will was singing "Afternoon Delight" having been asked to by the girl on the right mic and then when it came to the second verse the tone deaf knacker (no offense if your on boards

) chimed in and then asked Will if he "scored any Biiiiiiiirds". Fantastic

Will Ferrell
