I think you're confusing dry humor as white people being funny.
there is nothing about anchorman that suggests dry humor.

I think "Anchorman" = most overrated MOVIE in history. Is it because I'm not white?

I love Will Ferrell movies.. but I can honestly say I've only seen Anchormam once. I thought it was funny, but I don't know why I just never had the urge to rewatch it
Are you sure you know what dry humor is? Because I do.
The movie is filled with irony and sarcasm. The essential elements of dry humor.
The forced irony is the biggest problem. It beats you over and over like a baseball bat to the head until you can't take it anymore. It's not even smart humor either.
Unless you're referring to the old guy getting punched in the balls. That wasn't ironic...it was sophomoric. Some people think that's funny though.
I just don't get it y'all.
I can sit through the whole movie and not laugh once. I'm a huge fan of dry humor. I like Arrested Development, Curb, Always Sunny, but I don't get Anchorman.
White people love that shyt. Why? Chewie? Duck? I think y'all are white.
Even the quotables don't do it for me.
I might be the only person on the planet not looking forward to the sequel.
one you don't understand the different genre's of humor yet.
The shows you mention don't use dry humor at all.
An example of dry humor would something by norm McDonald or Napoleon Dynamite.
Perhaps Anchromon is just not funny to you humor is subjective anyway don't feel bad.

dry humor is the deadpan (or straight forward) delivery of a joke.
irony and sarcasm dose not make dry humor because all jokes are filled with irony and sarcasm.
the show drips of irony/sarcasm and deadpan delivery by the cast.
bro, do you have any idea what dry humor/wit is? maybe you should google it and get back to the conversation at hand.
always sunny is filled with the most outlandish situations. all of which are taken with the utmost seriousness. that's where most of it's humor comes from.
just checked the "dry humor" wiki for the first time. Arrested Development and Seinfeld (mind as well be Curb) are both on the wiki page (i know "but anyone can edit that".) Always Sunny can be lumped into that group. A search for: Always Sunny "Dry Humor" - brings back 100's of thousands of results.
But they're all wrong right too?
How are we even having this argument right now?

no i watch the show and most of the gangs mannerisms are anything but deadpan deliveries. They always switch between who is the straight man but there is always one character who is exaggerated.
Charlie uses dry humor?
Frank uses dry humor?
You could make a case for Dennis but more often not he is just as exaggerated as the rest of them.
You gotta find one uptight lame dude to not find anything about Anchorman funny 
We can agree to disagree. I lump Always Sunny, The Office, Arrested, Curb all into the same subgenre. Whatever you want to call it, you can call it.
