In Anchorman 2, Brick attends his own funeral and pledges to find his killer. Most of those in attendance at the funeral seem to think that Brick is confused - but could it be quite the other way round? Time travel stories in sci-fi, like memorable examples in Doctor Who and Futurama, have taught us that a life lived out of order can lead to some rather complicated situations that are rarely properly understood by non-time travellers. Is it possible that in Anchorman 2, two Bricks were present at the funeral - one in the casket and one giving the eulogy? Even if that isn't the case, Brian Fantana explains that Brick's death is presumed after his disappearance chasing a bird out into the ocean. What if rather than disappearing, Brick has simply travelled in time and then returned in time for his funeral?
