Whats your favorite comedy?
British humor like "Monty Python"?
or the "Scary Movie" trilogy?

Or something funnier?

I absolutely love Monty Python, the flying circus, life of Brian and the Holy Grail.

But I wasn't too pushed on the meaning of life.

One of my absolute favourite comedy films would have to be Shallow Graves, staring Ewan McGregor.
One of the best dark comedies ever produced! (IMHO)

Well I'm an EXTREME movie buff so I've got heaps of fave movies, let alone comedy ones!!

But...at the top of my head, the funniest movie I've watched to date is Without A Paddle.

I was LMAO from start to finish, I tell ya. I've watched the movie 3 times and yet it STILL manages to crack me up!!

It helps too that Seth Green's in it...love him...

I love comedy all the way, iam up for a good lough, there are just so meny of them but my favorest has to be ither... 'hot chick' or 'mrs Doutfire', i don't now if this is a comedy but i think its funny 'rush hour' ???
there are more, so meny more,

I saw 'Down With Love' the other day on TV and it was hilarious alright! I was a bit skeptical when it was out in the cinema but now I know I shouldn't... hmm... I could have a good laugh years ago if I wasn't so skeptical of the poster!

Oh, and 'Bridget Jones : Edge Of Reason' is wonderful too! Hmm... Renee Zellweger is not bad after all! Her acting in 'Jerry McGuire' didn't convince me enough to watch her other movies in the cinema... **shrugs**

Monty Python hum... Grail and Completely different, were the better two.

Fav UK film comedy recently has got to be Shaun of the Dead, laughed so many times over, even for the 5th watch through on the DVD (got a lot of friends who are too tight to buy it for themselves).

Watched Cheaper by the Dozen the other day, that's very funny, although not one of Steve Martins best.

Wayne's World

MOD EDIT : Hi and welcome to the forums!! I'd like to point your attention to our forums rules. Your posts need to be at least 5 words long.

I'd go with John Waters' Pink Flamingos, which is nasty but extremely funny. There's another one he did called Female Trouble and it was also nasty and a little disturbing, but so funny like that part where Divine throws a tantrum on Christmas when she doesn't get cha-cha heels. Also, I'd go with that Adam Sandler movie Big Daddy.

i must agree with Big Daddy, it is one of my favourite movies, also Without A Paddle had me laughing from the very beginning, most especially when the little kid tried to jump the ramp on his bike and landed in the stream.

LMAO!! Yeah!! I had tears in me eyes, I tell ya!!

And the part where they run through the field of weed?! "Great mother of ganja" LOL!!

Man, Without A Paddle just rocks...that's all I have to say!!

I absolutly adore comedys, especially anything involving the Wayyan Brothers, like scary movie 1 and 2, white chicks..

But the greatest comedy film of all time (Wayyan Brothers again) is ..

"Don't be a menance to South Central while drinking your juice in the hood" (and yes, thats a movie title!!)

the Wayyan brothers are probably the funniest family on the planet, whichever movie or show any of them are on, you are garunteed to laugh, and one that i loved was, of course, White Chicks, soooooo funny!

I never really got the scary movies, in saying that I only ever say the first one, but that’s just probably me.

I don't have a clue who the Wayyan Brothers are, but it reminds me of another comic love of mine the Wayne’s world movies which I thought where absolutely brilliant.
Mick Mires is a comic genius. Rock on! God I’m getting old.

I reckon the first Scary Movie was the funniest one of the lot, it was genuinely hilarious-funny!! I guess it was also due to the fact that there wasn't any other movie like it at the time, it was the first (and probably the only) one of its kind. The 2nd and 3rd ones were entertaining but they were more towards stupid-funny, the first one was just waaaay better.

Souljacker, the Wayan Brothers are producers and actors. Two of them were the "white chicks" in White Chicks and then one of them is starring as the dad in My Wife And Kids...heard of that TV program? They are pretty well-known in the film industry I'd say, their reputation in Hollywood being the siblings involved in everything incredibly LMAO-funny.

i agree, the first scary movie has to be the funniest of the lot. the other two make me laugh pretty hard, but none as much as the original first 'scary movie'

I get to watched 'The Pacifier' a few days ago. I was a bit skeptical about it first. I mean, I lurrvee Vin Diesel, but he's the kind of man you watched in 'XXX' and 'Fast and Furious' action flick kinda movie, you know... I don't want my affection towards him tainted because he picked a wrong movie to act.

And man, I'm glad I was wrong!!! The movie was simply hilarious and enjoyable!! Simply love all those kids... And Vin's voice... **drools** share the same spot with my dear Alan...

Glad this is not like some 'bad-attempt-at -making-jokes' kinda movie...

American pie (all three parts)
Police academy (all parts)

"El Penalti mas largo del mundo", I dont know the name in english.

Scary Movie 1

Johny English

I must post Ace Venture 1 and 2. Good God they're good. I can hardly stop laughing. LOL?

Monty Python and the Holy Grail rules! From the opening credits to the French guards and their taunts "Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!", i think it is the funniest movie ever made!

O Man there are some super funny movies out there...I'd have to say that my favorites are....

National Lampoon's Animal House
Ferris Beuler's Day Off
National Lampoon's Van Wilder
Old School

Yep, those are the ones...they are hilarious....ok, since it must be a trend around here, I'm going to post a funny quote...

Bluto:"See if you can guess what I am now."
[puts a mouthfull of whipped potatoes in his mouth and spits it out]
Bluto: "I'm a zit. Get it?"

and

D-Day:War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Heck no!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.

I have many comedy movies that until now, could make me laugh.

Little Giants and Three Ninjas- These two movies are the first comedy moveis that I remembered. I watched these when I was five years old. And I really laughed hard, until now.

Any comedy movies of Rowan Atkinson- I really love this guy. He's my favorite comedian. He's the best, Mr. Bean.

Any comedy movies of Jim Carrey- I also love the comedy movies of this guy. He's just so funny.

And of course Scary Movie series- What can I say about these movie? They're so hilarious.

Any movies made by or staring the Wayan Brothers is always a good laugh, the best example being "Don't be a menace to South-Central whilst drinking your juice in the hood" !! The funniest "hood" movie ever made!!!

I do like a comedy now and again, the most recent comedy I actually laughed out loud at was Scary movie 3, it was light hearted and I know it wasnt the funniest around, but at the beginning when that girls head fell off and Pamela Anderson said "are you okay?", it was funny for some strange reason.

One of my favourites is Love Actually, especially the scene with Rowan Atkinson and Alan Rickman in that shopping centre.

Has anyone here seen Napoleon Dynamite? A lot of people think it's stupid, but I think it's hilarious!!! LMAO the whole time.

Especially the dancing scene, LOL!!! Napoleon's such a hottie...joking, joking.

I also love Starsky and Hutch, and Ron Burgandy: Anchorman. Anyone else seen them? They're great as well. Also anything with Ben Stiller, I love Zoolander.

*Padfoot*

Comedies are one of my favorite genres. A really funny movie that I've seen hundreds of times is Super Troopers...I am laughing right now just thinking about it! Rofl ! I also thought Orange County, The Big Lebowski and Out Cold were hilarious movies.

The funniest of all is Pink Flamingos. Everybody says it's nasty and vile, but I probably think it's sooooo funny. The most funny part was the birthday party scene and when the fat woman was sitting in a baby's playpen. I first saw it on my 17th birthday and I just kept on laughing my head off, until I started crying.

Napoleon Dynamite is also a classic to me. I probably think Jon Heder's pretty cute, too.

I haven't watched very many movies, but I know a few funny ones. I know someone's already said Mrs. Doubtfire, but that's one of my favorite comedies ever! Basically, any film with Robin Williams. I loved Jim Carry in Liar Liar. There's another that I've seen of his, it took place in a jungle... I didn't really like the plot, but it had some funny bits in it. Oh, lol, and The Mask! That's my favorite from Carry's. He's trying to get the girl, ends up getting some stupid mask to impress her...and ends up solving a crime or something (haven't seen it in a while).

My family and I almost laughed ourselves to death with Eddie Murphy's Coming to America. So...I recommend that one to people. I'm just naming old movies here.. .

I thought Airplane was very funny, I've seen it countless times and it's never boring.

I thought Mel Brooks deserves a special mention. He has very funny ideas that come out wonderfully in some of his films. For instance Blazing Saddles that you just have to love for its tongue-in-cheek zany humour, and Young Frankenstein which is a very clever spoof of the original version of Frankenstein with Boris Karloff, High Anxiety which has very funny remakes of well-known scenes of Alfred Hitchkock films and even manages to have a good story... The Greatest Lover is a parody on Rudolf Valentino that is hilarious in places, and Spaceballs just makes me laugh thinking about it. Yeah, a world is without Mel Brooks is definitely a less funny place.

Galaxy Quest is not just wonderful because it has Alan Rickman in it (along with a surprisingly booby Sigourney Weaver and an absolutely fantastic Tim Allan), but also because it is very funny and it cleverly sends up the Star Trek phenomenon without becoming cheesy. It's even funnier when you throw in the documentary with the actors as the characters that play the characters.

A funny Golden Oldie I enjoyed very much is a film called A funny thing happened on the way to the Forum wish I could see that one again, all the characters are brilliant, even if it doesn't have Frankie Howerd, who shone in the British version. You can see Frankie Howerd in another bawdy Roman farce called Up Pompei (a BBC TV comedy series, not a film).

More modern fun was Weekend at Bernie's: even if the single joke is a bit drawn out, it stays funny because of the pace and pretty good acting. My jaw muscles were aching from having laughed so much, so that's a pretty good indicator that this film deserves a mention.

A Fish called Wanda was pretty good, and clever too. Kevin Kline was hilarious as Otto, the rest of the cast was fantastic, some of Wendy's the lines are priceless: "Aristotle was not Belgian, the principle of Buddhism is not "every man for himself", and the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked them up." ...

There must be others I haven't thought of. Many others. When I think of them, I may post again.


[EDIT] : T totally forgot The Plank -- it's wordless and a classic! See IMDB - The Plank for details, and another classic called Dinner for One which stars the indomitable Freddy Frinton as James "Same procedure as last year?" and May Warden "Same procedure as every year, James". If you've never seen this and can find it, you're in for a treat! This is such an all-time classic that it's a big favourite on German TV, that repeated it every year for many years.

What about 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?' It laughs your pants off. Ok. Well, who watches Johnny Depp movies? Johnny Depp, believe it or not, is Willy Wonka in this movie, but he's wearing dentures so no one can see he's wearing the golden fillings.

Plus, who noticed the Oompa Loompas are all played by the same actor, yet they have different voices? Anyone besides me? Ok. Well, I'm up for discussing! Ok. (walks away)

I love the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! But the old one wasn't very great, in my opinion, there weren't as many funny parts and the candy looked poisonous. Oh! And my other favorite comedy movies are ANYTHING by Charlie Chaplin- and of course the Princess Bride...

ok well the comedy movies that i like are Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Super Troopers, Dude Wheres My Car, Scary Movie 1,2,3,4, DodgeBall, and well Sleepy Hollow with Johnny Depp was really funny. but i think that was intended to be a scary movie i just found it funny because of well everything i guess.

My favorite comedy movie is A Hard Day's Night, which no one has ever heard of. THe Beatles made it, which is why I watched it in the first place.

Also, I like Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I want to see Life of Brian(which I think that the Beatle George Harrison was in , but my dad might not let me..

Wow, there are so many. I can't even think of them all. Without a Paddle is defiantely one! And Click fo sure. Pretty much anything with Adam Sandler. Oh and She's the Man, Im not sure if you consider that a comedy or what really. But yeah...I cant even think of most of them right now...

i totally agree on all of those, especially Super Troopers, that movie is awsome. Hands down the funniest movie I've ever seen though is definitely Grandma's Boy. That movie kills me every time.

Ginevra, I'm right there with you.

I love Monty Python's "Life of Brian" (too many great quotes to do 'em all)

and the Beatles.. well, there's no other group as classic. And the movie is really funny. In an intelligent way. "Stop being taller than me" heehee.... Lots of good ones there as well.

Hmm.. Hard to choose only a few. Bumblebee, you named some good movies. Airplane, A Fish Called Wanda.. I love anything with Kevin Kline, really. I Love You To Death (a rather old movies, but very funny) and French Kiss are a few of my all-time favourites. For some reason, French Kiss wasn't such a big hit at the box office - I really don't see why, it's a very clever movie. I was addicted to it for some time..

I also rather enjoyed watching The Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy - a very strange but funny movie. And The Whole Nine/Ten Yards weren't bad either)

Did anyone here see Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby?
It was comedy with Will Ferrel. I don;t think I EVER laughed so hard in a movie in my entire life. It was a hit in the Box Office, but even when I was in the theatre, not many people found it too funny. Hmmm I dont know. Although I am told I have a "cheap sense of humor"... I laugh at everything..

What about Office Space? aw, ya can't forget Bill Lumberg. "Yeeeaahhhh, I'm gonna go ahead and move you down to storage room B, yeeaaahh, we're having some interns coming in and we want to make them feel comfortable. Oh, and, er, ah, lemme just [grabs Miltons Swingline stapler]....ahhh, yeeaahhh, greeaat."

I could watch that move again and again and again....and I have XD.

I liked that one aswell. The actors are so funny, Seth Green is hilarious and so dang short aswell. Wow, great movie, I actually voted and gave it a 9 on the site.

I can't believe that no one has said Caddyshack, or Christmas Vacation!!! Those are two of the funniest movies of all time! I also do like the Adam Sandler movies, and many more.

The best comedy of the year just came out on DVD....Talledaga Nights The Balld of Ricky Bobby.

I absoulutely love that movie it is so funny. Especially his kids who are named Walker and Texas Ranger I love those kids. Talledaga Nights is a must see if you need a laugh.

Ahhhh TiffTay!!! I love that move with a passsiooonnn. I saw it 4 times in theatres and everytime i laughed my butt off!!! It was absolutley histerical. I love Will Ferelll!
