I know what you are thinking right now. Wow! Mike aka (awesome nickname you have for me) is back! Thank God the Cool Breeze on a Warm Summer Day blog is up and running again...is this a dream?
No you dummy. Who dreams of reading?
You may be wondering why the blog stopped? I have to be honest. I stopped because the success and hilarity of this blog became too much to handle. How could I possibly keep producing funny ass shit every week? I turned into the Dave Chappelle of blogs.
If you don't buy any of that, congrats you might not be a complete moron.
My point is, its hard to be consistently funny.
Last night on Conan, Will Ferrell came out as Ron Burgundy and announced that they are moving forward with Ancorman 2. This clip is about 5 mins long and it is hilarious. Love when he insults Conan.

After seeing that you are.. estatic? Pumped? Are you saying things like...I love lamp, Sex Panther, Whammy, jazz flute, whale's vagina, I'm Ron Burgundy?
Most of the same cast and the director Adam McKay will be back. Does this guarantee it will be as funny as the original?
To quote Lee Corso, "Not so fast my friend."
It ain't easy making sequels. I'm pretty sure I'm the first person to ever say this so its mine. You can borrow it, but give me credit you unoriginal bastard.
How many quality comedy sequels are there?
American Pie? Ghostbusters? Hangover 2? Not even close to being as good as the first, but a decent movie.

Yea this happened

How many are better or equal to the original?
I did about 8 mins of thinking/research and I cant think of one.
So just like this blog, Dave Chappelle's short lived sketch show and every sub par comedy sequel ever made it's hard to be consistently funny in the eye's of the public.
Can Ancorman break the mold? I hope so. In the meantime I'll continue to produce sub par, I mean quality, blog posts for you.
