Much better than Will Farrell imo.

Something About Mary
Dodge Ball
Tropic Thunder
Flirting With Disaster

His cameos are great too.

Heavyweights
Happy Gilmore

I would argue that he was a supporting character in Heavyweights and it was more than a cameo. After all, he was the antagonist.
Yeah I guess you're correct only funny thing in a terrible movie. I'd go with Dodge Ball. That character and movie would have been horrible without him completely committed.

Meet the Parents
A close second - Something About Mary

I liked him in The Watch. Dumb movie and horrible storyline, but it does crack me up.
 
What?? Ferrell clearly tops stiller. Step brothers, talladega nights and anchorman every day over tropic thunder, theres something about mary and meet the parents. Ferrells lesser movies are way better than stillers.. his stuff doesnt hold up
 
There's Something About Mary is a classic film, period. IFC is showing it with all the deleted scenes as well. It's the best film for virtually every major star in the film.

Meet The Parents was awesome. They should have stopped there, however.

Flirting With Disaster is a very underrated film. It has tons of subtle, bent humor.

I liked the first Zoolander a lot, too. "I think I've got the Black Lung, Pop... uh-huch, uh-huch!"

Along Came Polly was great.

The Heartbreak Kid has Malin Ackerman exactly how you wanna see her.
 
Yeah I guess you're correct only funny thing in a terrible movie. I'd go with Dodge Ball. That character and movie would have been horrible without him completely committed.
Odd thing is, it was basically the same character from Heavyweights. Most of his characters are neurotic, it's just a matter of the direction and severity of the neurosis. Those had the same direction and severity.
 
I like Ferrell more, but this thread reminded me of how many Ben Stiller movies I enjoy. I think people have an easy time hating Will Ferrell. My dad absolutely hated him on SNL. Reluctantly came around after he saw some of the movies. Anchorman probably doesn't hold up well (I'd have to rewatch), but at the time it was hilarious. Old School would hold up, I think, if Animal House holds up. Love Step Brothers. Talladega had some chuckles. I think Tropic Thunder was better than any Will Ferrell movie I remember, but I still think I like Will Ferrell more.
 
Robert De Niro was the star of the "Meet the Parents"
trilogy. Ben Stiller is not a good actor. He was the
offspring of Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara who were
third-rate comedians. .
