will ferrell is hilarious

got a chance to check out will ferrell's new broadway show, 'you're welcome america. a final night with george w bush', on sunday. comedy gold i tell you. if you thought ferrell's portrayal of our now former commander-in-chief on snl was hilarious, be prepared to see him take this shtick to new heights.

the show is a completely and totally irreverent retrospective of bush's political career, focusing mainly on his 8 years as leader of the free world. the show is funny as all get out (what does that even mean? really. but i've always wanted to use that phrase and now i have. deal with it.) and manages to entertain with very little use of over the top gags that are present in much of ferrell's recent projects. not that there aren't some moments that make your eyes widen a bit, but they are used selectively and thus, with strikingly funny results.

i won't say anymore because every single second of this show needs to be seen to feel its' full effect. bottom line is, go see it. today. tomorrow. soon.
