20160213:
Not counting Zoolander (2001) in which Will Ferrell was the antagonist, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby was probably the first movie starring Will Ferrell I had seen. In particular, I vaguely recall seeing it long before I saw Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy (2004).

Ricky Bobby signs a baby's forehead.

In any case, I liked the majority of the jokes in Talladega Nights and the overall story was decent. Overall, I would recommend this comedy to others, especially anybody who enjoys Will Ferrell's other comedies.

Ricky Bobby makes it clear to his friend Cal that only he can be first.

Hahahaha. Jamming that second knife in there was hilarious.
Lol. Crashes into several cars and finally the house.
Haha. "We're gonna make animal noises."

Jean Girard (Sacha Baron Cohen) attempts to get Ricky Bobby to submit.

Hahaha. "Sorry Lucius, but its a hard habit to break. Like stalking an ex-girlfriend."
Highlander.
Hahahahaha. A little extra motivation.
"By the way Ricky, I watched the Highlander movie. It was shit."
