1.Wedding Crashers
2.Old School
3.Anchorman
4.The Hangover
5.Zach and Miri Make A Porno

I’m a fan of over the line humor. The stuff that makes you cringe almost, which is exactly why Zach and Miri is on there.

is one. Slim Pickens’ line at the tollbooth floors me every time.
Dodgeball

The Jerk is a classic.
Young Frankenstein
Neighbors was great. Me and my buddies were the only ones laughing during the whole movie. Finally, I told the audience that “Hey, this IS a comedy!”

Robinhood Men in Tights
Spaceballs
Down Periscope
Three Amigos
Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure

Honorable Mention:

Oscar
Old School
The Waterboy
Sgt. Bilko

I have many more, this came off the top of my head.

Monte Python and the Holy Grail – I could add several other Monte python movies but I’ll stick with this one.
Blazing Saddles “No one move or the N***** gets it” at the time it was the most outragious movie line ever. I could list other Mel Brooks but one is enough.
Dogma!!! Chris Rock rocks – several other Kevin Smith movies could qualify.
Naked Gun, or Airplane, or Police Squad, or….any of those Leslie Nielson movies.
Happy Gilmore

1.Strange Brew
2. Space Balls
3. Princess Bride

4. Young Frankenstein
5. Modern Problems

Monty Python & the Holy Grail

Just missed the cut:

Step Brother
Me, Myself and Irene
American Pie
Road Trip
Super Troopers

Tropic Thunder was hilarious. The Hangover was better. All these are great. Happy Gilmore is a classic. The 40 Year old Virgin… (“What are we, Al Qaeda?”), Young Frankenstein – er… I mean, Young Al Davis, Multiplicity, What about Bob, The Simpsons movie.

I’m done.

; )

turn down the volume, and then play the volume only of Holy Grail. That’s funny stuff…. especially with enough whiskey.

I meant “audio only”

Major League
The Big Lebowski
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Happy Gilmore
This is Spinal Tap

Honourable mention to the Kevin Smith Flicks and A Fish Called Wanda – and Snatch if you can classify it as a comedy…sure cracks me up.

Ace Ventura Pet detective

Animal House
Old School
Step Brothers
Repoman
Half Baked

1) Animal House “Put Niedermeier on it, he’s a sneaky little sh*t just like you.”
2) Holy Grail “Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?”
3) Blazing Saddles “Where da white women at?”
4) Spinal Tap “You can’t really dust for vomit.”
5) The Hangover “It’s not illegal, it’s frowned upon — like masturbating on an airplane.”

I loved The Hangover and I am getting ready for my bachelor party so it totally got me fired up. However, I’m not quite ready to put it in the top 10. It may end up there. It may even end up in my top 5, but . . . I’m taking a wait and see approach. The Mike Tyson thing was lame but the rest of it might just be good enough to get it over the hump. However, for now, it’s just on the outside looking in.

TOP 10 comedies of all time:
1) Dumb and dumber
2) Anchorman
3) Wedding Crashers
4) The Big Lebowski
5) MP & Holy Grail
6) Old School
7) Ghostbusters
8) Superbad
9) Napoleon Dynamite
10) Animal House

Honorable mention: The Hangover, Role Models, Clerks, Mallrats, Van Wilder, Harold & Kumar, Up in Smoke, Half Baked and American Pie

I wish I could remember the exact titles of an, “Abbott and Constello” movie, I kinda can…yet can’t. Therefore I have to sadly put Abbott and Constello aside for a moment….even though they were the funniest of all time.

Wow!! This is really hard. Funny, when I was young, Comendy was not ‘shock’ it was ‘thought’ … funny was something happening before you as you compare it to your life. Funny was funny back then because it was, ‘real life real’ and not a wierd shock.

I’ll give you an example of my terrible memory,

Bob Hope gets caught up with Pirates, somehow rescues this cute Blond (I think) yet Crosby….who was never in the Movie…ends up with the girl. That was funny back then.

Anyway, I need to move forward and pick some ‘Funny’ movies (in the modern world) I have seen.

1. “Young Frankenstein”
        No other movie was quite this unique. Black and white. “What big knockers!” Knife thrust into leg, " I am not Frankenstein!!" Both conflicts win………….what a fun movie.

1. “American Graffiti”

     I saw this as a late teenager, saw a revival of this after the movie release, and loved this movie. Best part, when the kid riding with the ‘hot-rod’ guy, shaved-cremes the car. Clasic.

1. 3 “Mr Mom”

     There is something special to me about this movie, not sure what it is, maybe when he overloads the ‘washer’…the ‘washer’ rebels…
      Maybe its when he talks his young son into throwing, ‘The Blankie’ into the fire. Loved this movie.

#4

not sure what it is…..very funny movie however.

Funny me……….I’m about to do #4 and (as I do this comment) my brain is clearing as to what I am doing. How did I forget this!!!

#4

     The original “Ghost Busters” may be the ‘Funniest Movie’ of all time. When you consider, original thought, brilliant crew, a lot of fun……..and then some more fun.

Man……………I loved this movie !!!

#5

Funny, if you think its funny. I fear for this nation

I have a hard time adding anything to the movies referenced here. I haven’t seen The Hangover, but I’ve heard nothing but good things. Two very funny movies that haven’t been referenced so far are Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and Beerfest.

I don’t know if either of these would make my Top 5, but they’re both very funny. Just check your hangups at the door before watching.

Plan Nine From Outer Space
Many bad sci-fi movies, esp. Japanese with bad lip-sync
Bedazzled
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Young Frankenstein
Life of Brian (saw this on acid, don’t know how much that affected its hilarity)
Dr. Strangelove
The Simpsons
The Man Who Knew Too Little

The Pink Panther movies are pretty good, too. Generally, I don’t like comedy that’s super obvious or dumb. Most of the current crop of comic actors are boorrring. I mean people like Ben Stiller, Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, Tom Greene, whose basic comic moves are uttering really dumb lines while mugging for the camera. Orgazmo was also pretty good, altho I didn’t care for the fart jokes.

American Beauty

planes trains and automibiles
stir crazy

love honour and obey (British Gangster Comedy)
I’m all right Jack (Peter Seller’s Union Bashing Comedy)
