The Best Quotes From Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

75

By MatthewWA

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is one of Will Ferrell's silliest movies to date (There's ones that aren't?). The entire movie borderlines on ridiculous, which is exactly why it's so funny and chock full of great quotes.

If you're like me, then every now and then a line from the movie might just go off in your head and you find yourself giggling soon after. Enjoy these now classic lines.

Ron Burgundy: I wanna say something. I'm gonna put it out there; if you like it, you can take it, if you don't, send it right back...I want to be on you...Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I...I wanna be on you.

Ron Burgundy: I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.

Ron Burgundy: I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Steve Carell's Audition Tape

Ron Burgundy: I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly.

Ron Burgundy: You're so wise. Like a miniature Buddha, covered with hair.

Brian Fantana: No, she gets a special cologne, it's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries. Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good...They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.

Brick Tamland: I love...carpet. I love...desk. Ron Burgundy: Brick, are you just looking at things in the office and saying that you love them? Brick Tamland: I love lamp. Ron Burgundy: Do you really love the lamp, or are you just saying it because you saw it? Brick Tamland: I love lamp...I love lamp.

Ron Burgundy: I look good. I mean really good. Hey everyone! Come see how good I look!

Ron Burgundy: I'm a man who discovered the wheel and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn. That's what kind of man I am. You're just a woman with a small brain. With a brain a third the size of us. It's science.

Ron Burgundy: What? You pooped in the refrigerator? And you ate a whole...wheel of cheese? How'd you do that? Heck, I'm not even mad; that's amazing.

Ron Burgundy: It's so damn hot. Milk was a bad choice.

Brick Tamland: I don't know what we're yelling about!...Loud noises!

Ron Burgundy: Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale's vagina.

Brick Tamland: Yeah, I stabbed a man in the heart...Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident. Ron Burgundy: Brick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder.

Ron Burgundy: Well, I could be wrong, but I believe diversity is an old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.

Ron Burgundy: Veronica and I are trying this new fad called uh, jogging. I believe it's jogging or yogging. it might be a soft j. I'm not sure but apparently you just run for an extended period of time. It's supposed to be wild.

Brick Tamland: I ate a big, red candle.

Brian Fantana: I know what you're asking yourself and the answer is yes. I have a nick name for my penis. Its called the Octagon, but I also nick named my testes - my left one is James Westfall and my right one is Doctor Kenneth Noisewater.

Ron Burgundy: I'm storming your castle on my steed, milady.

Champ Kind: I woke up on the floor of some Japanese family's rec room, and they would NOT stop screaming.

Veronica Corningstone: Oh, well, when in Rome! Ron Burgundy: Yes?...please go on. Veronica Corningstone: Uh, do as the Romans do. It's an old expression. Ron Burgundy: Oh! I've never heard of it...it's wonderful though.

Brick Tamland: I ate fiberglass insulation. It wasn't cotton candy like the guy said... my tummy itches.

Ron Burgundy: By the beard of Zeus!

Ron Burgundy: I thought you were kidding! I thought it was a joke! I even wrote it down in my diary, "Veronica had a very funny joke today!" I laughed at it later that night!

Champ Kind: We need you. Hell, I need you. I'm a mess without you. I miss you so damn much! I miss being with you. I miss being near you. I miss your laugh! I miss your scent. I miss your musk... when this all gets sorted out, I think you and me should get an apartment together!

Ron Burgundy: You stay classy, San Diego. I'm Ron Burgundy?

"Now if you don't think this song is the greatest song ever, I will fight you. That's no lie."

My favorites are "you're a dirty pirate hooker...why don't you go back to your home on whore island." and "I'm in a glass case of emotion." Great article. Anchorman is like my favorite movie ever! Voted up
