Will Ferrell is brought in as an imitation of Steve Carell's caracter and the viewers dislike him. It just goes to show that Steve Carell's over the top, out of control caracter isn't funny. Michael isn't silly, he's dumb. He's not impromptu, he's reckless. He's not sweet, he's selfish. His jokes aren't really to make others laugh, they are to fuel his narcissistic needs.
I never watched this show because of this caracter, I watched it despite this caracter.
