Ron Burgundy Is Darth Vader In The Sci-Fi Comedy That Should Have Been (VIDEO)

"Anchorman" is one of the funniest films of this decade, and we all know "Star Wars" is a classic, so it's about time someone decided to unite them in ridiculous cinema glory. In this short but hilarious mash-up from Ted Williams Head, George Lucas' epic space opera is re-imagined with Darth Vader played by Ron Burgundy himself. Due to Vader's mouth-concealing helmet and some skillful editing, Will Ferrell's hilarious lines from "Anchorman" fit seamlessly into scenes from "Star Wars." For years we've been hoping for a sequel to "Anchorman," but for now this will have to do.

Not really worth writing home about, in my opinion. I prefer "Coming to Alderaan." Some of James Earl Jones' lines from "Coming to America" work pretty well when dubbed over the Star Wars opening. It's on YouTube if you're interested.

> "Anchorman" is one of the funniest films of this decade

That is a damning indictment of this decade. We lasted about half an hour into it without laughing once, and turned it off. (The movie, not the decade.)

No. No we haven't. For God's sake can we just leave ONE good movie alone instead of ruining it my making a sequel unjustified by the ending of the original? You take that back HuffPo Comedy. YOU will eat cat poop!

There is actually a whole other movie they made from the Anchorman extra footage. As in, a whole entire movie. It's on the DVD extras.

Dear Internet, it's me, comedy, Star Wars is done. You need to move on, internet. I still love you, but you can't keep living like this.

What are you trying to say, that the guy responsible for the merciless slaughter of 12 million people shouldn't be used for cheap laughs? Come on, that's comedic gold!

Oh yeah, and double rainbow can be done and re-done only so many times before it's just not funny anymore.
