comment |
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is a very memetic 2004 DreamWorks SKG comedy produced by Judd Apatow. It was the first of many collaborations between director/co-writer Adam McKay and star/co-writer Will Ferrell.It is the 1970s, the age of strange haircuts, polyester leisure suits, wide lapels, disco and swinging, macho bachelors. Ron Burgundy (Ferrell) is the demanding, egotistical top anchor of the #1 news program in San Diego, and respected throughout the city.One day, due to a lack of diversity, Ron's boss (who is having problems with his son doing dangerous things) hires a new female co-anchor, Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate). Burgundy (like most males in the film) is sexist, and so it's near-hatred at first sight. It doesn't help that the gorgeous lady wants to be a serious newscaster, but is assigned stories about cat fashion shows.What evolves is a Slap-Slap-Kiss situation. Burgundy falls for Veronica, and she for him, and they try to make things work even while the news is still happening.Oh, and there is lots of '70s-style decadence, often with a dark side. Notably, the film is a rare example of a period comedy that completely and utterly averts Politically Correct History; not only does it acknowledge the casual sexism and homophobia of the 1970s, it's actually central to the plot—since it's ultimately all about a clueless buffoon who feels threatened by an ambitious female rival.Among other things, the film is notable for being one of the more famous efforts by the Frat Pack, a loosely organized group of popular comedians who worked together in many of the more successful comedy films of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Will Ferrell was a defining member of the group, but Vince Vaughn (who plays Ron's rival) was also a major player, and supporting members Jack Black, Ben Stiller and Luke Wilson all appear in memorable cameos. Interestingly, it also helped jumpstart the film career of Judd Apatow, who would dominate Hollywood's comedy scene in the latter half of the decade; Apatow met Steve Carell (who plays Ron's idiotic coworker Brick) while producing this film, and invited him to play the leading role in his big directorial debut.A straight-to-DVD sequel was made with various outtakes, unused plot concepts, and clips from the final movie called Wake Up, Ron Burgundy. The plot concerns a radical team of bank robbers being investigated by the Action 4 team. They refer to themselves as "The Alarm Clock", seeking to "wake up" San Diego.note Though to what end is unclear... even to them. The companion movie was packaged with the original for its DVD release.Eight years after its release, Ferrell showed up in character on Conan to play some jazz flute. He also announced they were finally making a sequel. Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. It was released on December 18, 2013, with the main cast returned to reprise their roles. Released alongside the film is the Expanded Universe book Let Me Off at the Top!!, a memoir "written by" Burgundy that further fleshes out the character and his world from his childhood up through The New '10s. It's exactly as bizarre as you think.Since January 2019, Ferrell has portrayed the title character in The Ron Burgundy Podcast, currently streamed by the iHeartRadio Podcast Network. The show received an initial order of 24 episodes over two seasons, and is now (July 2022) in its fifth season.A Kickstarter campaign for a party game, Anchorman: The Game was held in 2020. |

No Celebrities Were Harmed |
| | Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy / int_1282bf4f |
comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Many of the characters are based on real San Diego newscasters that were well known to locals back in the '70s. As it turns out, the producers based Ron partially off Mort Crim, a famous anchorman in Detroit, when they saw him in a documentary recounting how how used to be "a real male chavinist pig" during his 70s stint in Philadelphia. Logically then, Veronica is likely partially based off the infamous Jessica Savitch, who co-anchored with Crim at that point (although Veronica never got into drugs and died in a car crash). Meanwhile, at least in appearance, Ron is an almost perfect Expy of long-time San Diego anchor Paul Bloom (see this clip from 1980). Unlike Ron, however, Paul Bloom is known throughout the community for his selfless promotion of charitable causes (particularly the unemployed and homeless). And Wes Mantooth is apparently based on Peter Mansbridge, the anchor of CBC's The National. |

comment |
The Artifact: When Veronica has to sub for Ron when he's held up, her top story is a bank robbery. This would've tied into the deleted Alarm Clock subplot that was later reused for Wake Up, Ron Burgundy! Also, when the news team celebrates their ratings win at the beginning, a random woman is with them. Her footage also showed up in Wake Up, Ron Burgundy! and had delivered drinks to the news team before the newscast. |

The line where Ron asks Garth about his divorce while at a party Ron walking into a filing cabinet and falling over Alternate dialog when Ron asks Veronica what her dream is Veronica and Ron tackling each other on the conference room table, collapsing (with Ron shouting "Let's make a baby!")

Spiritual Successor |

comment |
Spiritual Successor: To Mel Brooks' classic comedies, given the film's time setting in The '70s, its nonsensical and slapstick humor and to a production extent, the Stunt Casting of actors least expected to be in a film like this (for example Tim Robbins' cameo in this film is equivalent to Brooks casting the respected Gene Hackman as a blind man in Young Frankenstein). This film is a "What If? Mel Brooks made a comedy that was a satire on news anchoring back in The '70s."note Will Ferrell, who plays Ron Burgundy, would later appear in the 2005 musical remake of Brooks' The Producers, a year after acting in this movie. |

While Brian is busy having the Sex Panther cologne washed off him, one of the men cleaning him comments their current situation is "worse than the time the raccoon got in the copier." |

Gorgeous Period Dress |
| | Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy / int_4fe1aa4c |
comment |
Gorgeous Period Dress: The movie's set late enough that there's not a whole lot of difference between its fashions and those of The Present Day at the time of production, but as news is an inherently visual job, catering to a booming colour-TV audience, fancy professional clothing comes with the job, hence the news team's (but especially Ron's) smooth, sharp, three-piece suits and ties decked out in (mostly) vivid period colours. (Veronica's suits aren't necessarily three-piece, and obviously she doesn't wear ties, but she has to put on bold colours too to stand out both in the newsroom and on camera.) Off the job, there's also lots of bold prints and psychedelic swirls, a holdover from the latter half of The '60s. |

comment |
Bottled Cool: Sex Panther by Odeon, which is illegal in nine countries. It's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good. 60% of the time, it works every time. It also smells like pure gasoline, a used diaper filled with Indian food, a turd covered in burnt hair, and Bigfoot's dick (and in an outtake, the inside of a fake leg) — and has a tendency to set off the fire alarm. And it's so strong that the user has to be jet-hosed to expunge the stench. |

During the bar scene in which Ron assembles the news team, they can be seen playing pool behind him, out of focus and their faces obscured. They really were there the whole time he was. Right when the 5-way news teams fight starts, Brian immediately trips and falls down. |

Politically Correct History: Noticeably averted. Though most of the '70s-style kitsch is played for laughs, all of the male characters are very casually sexist, and several characters drop the occasional homophobic remark. The characters also surprisingly cavalier about littering, frequently dropping trash or unfinished food on the street without a second thought. |

comment |
Truth in Television: Local TV news in San Diego does love a good baby panda story. It helps the realism that the San Diego Zoo is one of the few zoos outside of China that houses giant pandas. The level of harassment Veronica endures was not uncommon in the '70s. Guys hitting on her relentlessly, Champ trying to grope her breasts, having to work harder and prove herself more because she was a woman; yeah, that happened. Not only was it commonplace, it wasn't seen as inappropriate behavior and was not punished; most women had little choice but to endure that treatment or leave their place of work. There was no guarantee they wouldn't be treated worse in another workplace setting, either. |

Deliberate Values Dissonance: While it plays them for comedy, the movie doesn't exactly sugarcoat or gloss over 1970s attitudes towards women. In fact, that's what inspired the film. Farrell saw a documentary in which men talked about how terrified they were when women joined the new team and he found it completely absurd. |

"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: Champ Kind went on to become a commentator for the NFL; but was later fired after being accused of sexual harassment by Terry Bradshaw. Brian Fantata went on to have great success as the host of the hit reality TV show Intercourse Island on the FOX Network. Brick Tamland is married with 11 children, and is one of the top political advisers to the Bush White House. Ron Burgundy and Veronica Corningstone didn't stay in San Diego long; Bill Kurtis chose them as his replacement and they became the first mixed-gender network news team; and they're still doing it today. |

Who Names Their Kid "Dude"? |
| | Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy / int_c1d1d6ad |
comment |
Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: In the beginning of the film as Ron prepares for the newscast, he asks for the name of an unseen worker. Her name is Lanolin, and Ron's baffled response? One has to wonder what poor Brick's parents were on when they named him. |

Shout-Out Burgundy finishes his jazz flute performance with the flute riff from Jethro Tull's Aqualung. He even bellows the song title, like Ian Anderson does in the original. The two encounters between the news teams send up West Side Story. With Spartacus, Gangs of New York and Planet of the Apes thrown in for good measure. |

comment |
Brick Joke: When we first see Baxter, Ron responds to some of his barking by telling him he doesn't understand Spanish and to say it in English. Later, when he and Veronica are in the throes of passion, she says something in Spanish—which leads Baxter to suddenly bark. During the fight against the newscasters, one of the anchormen gets his arm chopped off, prompting him to say "I did not see that coming!" His other arm is ripped off by a bear later on in the film, which is met with a response of how ri-goddamn-diculous it is. |
