Ferrell first came to the attention of many via his brief supporting role as Mustafa in Mike Myers' bond spoof. He was one of Dr Evil's henchman (getting a taste of grand villainy pre-Megamind), and bagged one of the movie's most memorable gags.

After being despatched via flaming chute in Dr Evil's boardroom, he doesn't die as quickly as anticipated: "I'm still alive, only I'm very badly burnt… Can someone call an ambulance? I'm in a lot of pain…"

Mega-funny? Hell yes, it's full-on cartoony characterisation (just what nationality is he supposed to be?)
