Tropic Thunder
"Never go full retard"
Tropic Thunder is histerical. It has a great cast too with a lot of well known people such as Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr, and so many more.
In Tropic Thunder,a group of actors are tricked into thinking their being filmed for a movie their paid to do. Instead, they are actually thrown into the jungle and are captured by real local drug dealers in Southeast Asia. Weird things happen but boy, does the movie have some great lines.
I am getting sick of this movie because I have seen it way too many times but it's still good. A large part of the reason the movie is so good is because of the large star cast in the movie like I said before. I actually saw this movie in the theaters but liked it better when it came out on DVD.

Rush Hour
"Ain't nobody understand the words that are comin' out of your mouth"
Rush Hour-what a funny little movie.
This movie is about two completely oposite cops , Detective Lee and Detective James, who team up together to catch criminals and an eleven year old girl. The movie is an action/adventure as well as comedy. The reason this movie managed to work out with is plot is because of the main characters who worked so well together. I love the bloopers that they run at the end of the movie too.
Obviously the movie is going to be funny if you put Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker together. There are a good amount of racial jokes in this movie though, so it would probably offend a good amount of people. I still thought it was great though and clearly I am not the only one considering there are 2 Rush Hours that came out after the first one.

Robin Hood: Men in Tights
"Let's get out of this ladies clothing and get into our tights! "
Robin Hood: Men in Tights is a pretty legit comedy movie. Although it uses crude and stupid humor, those are always the best. This movie has actually been around for a while. I remember seeing it for the first time when I was 10.
It is about Robin Hood who "steals from the rich and gives to the needy". It follows the old tale but obviously includes it's own twist on the new version of it. They actually mix olden times with the recent times in the movie which makes it that much better. Robin Hood dresses up as an old man and wins in an archery contest and later on in the movie saves Maid Marian, the woman he loves. It might pose as a problem though when he realizes his "true love" has a chastity belt that can only be opened by true love.
The movie is pretty good because of the cast it includes. Even Dave Chappelle plays one of Robin Hood's Merry Men in the movie. I feel like a lot of people actually havn't seen this movie.

Mrs. Doubtfire
"Are you wearing ladies perfume?"
Mrs. Doubtfire is such a classic. Although it really is not a knee slapper, it still deserves a spot on the list.
Mrs. Doubtfire is about a man whose wife is filing for divorce and trying to get custody of the kids. Mrs. Doubtfire is played by Robin Williams who is the father and husband in the movie. In order to see his kids, he pretends to be an old woman and gets hired as a nanny for his wife. Little does she know that it's her husband. I don't even need to tell you anymore because clearly Robin Williams dressed up as a woman is pretty funny.
Robin Williams definitely made the movie. I couldn't see any other actor playing an old woman and being able to pull it off so well.

Grandma's Boy
"Fruit cup, nice. Way to go mom."
Grandma's Boy is still flying under the radar. When I saw it the first time I actually didn't enjoy it too much but it has grown on me.
Grandma's Boy is about a 35 year old video game tester, Alex, and how if life is full of nothingness. He gets thrown out of his apartment for rent delinquency and ends up moving in with his grandma. Really weird things happen involving grown young men and grandmas. The one actor I think is histerical is in this movie, Nick Swardson, who plays Jeff- Alex's friend and co worker. I think the reason this movie if funny is mostly because of Nick Swardsons role.
Actually, now that I think about it, I realize that even though I have seen this movie alot, I have never watched it from start to beginning. I know for a fact that I havn't seen the actual end of the movie. That actually pisses me off that I just realized that. Even though I havnm't seen the end of the movie, it is still worth a spot on the great comedy movies.

Billy Madison
"Quit it lady, you're scarin us!"
What a classic. I'm sure that if you've ever seen any kind of movie before, that this was one of them before and if that's not true, you suck.
Billy Madison is about an idiot child adult, Billy Madison, played by Adam Sandler. When it comes to the time for Billy to inherit his father's hotel industry, they decide he has to go through all 12 grades again in order to be the new owner. The movie follows Billy going through a grade each 2 weeks. He ends up falling for one of his teachers through out the process and even weirder things happen.
Adam Sandler looks good in this movie because he was still kind of young when it was made. Even though this movie is completely over played on TV, it still is really good since the first time or fifty eighth time I've seen it.
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
"Go fuck yourself, San Diego"
Anchorman is a pretty funny movie. Although it's really dumb like most of Will Ferrell's movies, I think its a great comedy movie.
Anchorman is supposed to take place in the 1970's. It is about a news anchor named Ron Burgundy and the rest of his co-workers/friends. It follows their lifestyle and how much fun they have with their jobs. They constantly party and love being famous as the talk of the town. When the station adds a new co-anchor it upsets everyone, especially when they find out it's a woman! This was unlikely in the 70's. The movie is about the rise and fall of Ron Burgandy which is a really silly story but they did a good job with it.
This is another one of the number of movies that I quote once in a while and usually everyone understands what it's from!I've actually seen t-shirts of Ron Burgandy recently.

Happy Gilmore
"You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?"
Happy Gilmore is a funny movie. I watched it the other night and forgot how good it is. I have seen this movie easily over 100 times not counting all the way through. Everyone who is anyone has seen this movie:)
Happy Gilmore is about a reject hockey player who thinks he is excellent but never makes the hockey team. His life is going nowhere and his grandmother hasn't paid her taxes in a really long time. Once he finds out the house is being seized he needs to come up with a lot of money. He ends up enrolling in golf tournaments to raise the money to keep the house. He ends up gaining friends and rivals through the process and finds out he's a pretty good hockey player too.
Adam Sandler is just another goofy asshole character in this movie, but that is why he plays it so well. I would have put this higher on my list if I had remembered it before. So just because it is post 16 doesn't mean it isint as funny as the other ones.

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
"Chip, Im gonna come at you like a spider monkey"
Talladega nights is a pretty stupid movie. This blog is also starting to get pretty long so I'm running out of 5 star ideas. I would say this is at least a 3 star movie for me. Like I said before, I really like Will Ferrell in most of his movies.
Talladega Nights is about a racecar driver, (Ricky Bobby) who loves racing. One day he gets in a horrible crash and from there on thinks he can't drive again. He is too afraid to be behind the wheel. Along with the help of his deranged family, father and friends he figures out a way to race again with a huge come back.
The movie is predictable, yes. It also is as dumb as most Will Ferrell movies are most people would say, but I happen to laugh at it everytime I've seen it. HIs costar, John Reilly, is in a lot of movies with him and he is his wing man in this one too.

Waiting
"Welcome to Thunderdome, Bitch"
Waiting puts its own little weird spin on a comedy movie. It is definitely a crude humor one. I first watched it because my sister introduced it to me. I didn't like it the first couple times I watched it but it's pretty good.
Waiting is about a bunch of screwed up freaks working together in one restaurant called Shenaniganz (I found out after this blog that there really is a restaurant named Shenaniganz). Their restaurant is anything but normal. They do disgusting things to the food and have "inter-office" relationships. THe movie follows a day at he restaurant and what that means for these employees.
I wouldn't suggest this for the faint of heart. It will most likely offend a lot of people in the process of watching it. This isin't one of my favorite comedy movies of all time but it's pretty good so it deserves a spot on my list here. They actually made a sequel called Still Waiting but it's horrible so don't see it! I also like Dane Cook and he made an appearance in this movie.

Step Brothers
"Boats and hoes! Boats and hoes!"
Step Brothers was such an unexpected movie.I certainly did not think this movie was going to be this funny. Like the others on this list, it is now one of my personal favorite movies even outside of the comedy section.
Step Brothers is about 2 stupid, unemployed grown men who still live at home with their mother and father. When their parents meet and decide to get married, the wife and her son (Will Ferrell) move in with the father and his son (John Reilly) as well. The movie follows the family trying to get along and how hard that is for their two sons at first. In the end, yup you guessed it, they become the bestest of friends. It's not the predictable story plot that makes this movie good or funny. It's the ridiculous things these two say and do along the way.
I'm pretty sure anyone who has a sense of humor enjoys this movie. I know a lot of people who hate the two main characters but I love both of them especially together. If you havn't yet...check out this movie!

Superbad
"What? One name? ONE NAME? Who are you? Seal?"
Yes, Superbad is on the list. I know it's been around for three years and because of that most people are sick of it being shoved down their throats. To be honest, I am a little sick of it too, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be on this list.
Superbad follows 3 friends Evan, Seth and Fogell. It is their senior year and have all got accepted into college. The movie follows the 3 of them and their dumb escapades. The main part of the movie is about the 3 of these friends getting alcohol and trying to get to a "cool" party and the lengths they will go to make it there.
I personally didn't see what all the fuss was about when I first saw the movie. I didn't think it was hilarious right away. I didn't really appreciate the comedy or the movie itself until the 4th or so time I watched it. As weird as it is to say this, my parents think the movie is absoloutly histerical. We've watched it together before when it has been on TV. We actually sing some of the song Evan from the movie sings ("these eyes") as a little inside joke.

Planes, Trains & Automobiles
"Oh, he's drunk. How would he know where we're going? "
This movie was made in 1987 which was before I was even born. Like The Jerk, Planes, Trains & Automobiles is a movie that is one of my favorites because my mom made me watch it originally with her. It has almost become an inside joke between us now and we will recite lines from it every once in a while.
Neal Page (Steve Martin) is trying to get home to his house and family on Thanksgiving. His flight becomes cancelled due to bad weather, so he tries to find another way to find a way to get home. Neal is then graced with the presence of Del Griffith (John Candy). Along the way of their motivation to get home, they get in weird situations with each other. They get their money stolen to being almost killed on the highway.
This movie is older so it might not appeal to all comedy audiences. I thought it deserved a spot on my list of comedy movies because I personally like it and there's nothing like a movie from the 80's!

Ace Ventura:Pet Detective
"If I'm not back in five minutes... just wait longer. "
Like I said before, I really like Jim Carrey as an actor and think he is hilarious. This is only one of the reasons this movie made it on the list, besides the fact that it is a great comedy movie.
Ace Ventura is an out of the ordinary animal detective played by Jim Carrey. In the movie he is assigned a case dealing with the Miami Dolphins mascot which goes missing right before the Superbowl. Through out the movie he is on a mission to bring back the missing dolphin and be the hero. He does his detective work the whole time which is completely unorthodox.
The clip below is just an example of how great Jim Carrey is as Ace Ventura:
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective was a great role for Jim Carrey. Later on in his career he still ends up doing movies with the same character as Ace which are extremely goofy. I'm guessing most people have heard of this movie before and some of you would go against it being on my comedy blog, but that's exactly why it's not your blog:)

Dumb and Dumber
"According to the map, we've only gone about 4 inches."
I love Jim Carrey, and this movie is of his earlier years. Dumb and Dumber has captured the hearts of many with it's stupidity.
Dumb and Dumber is about two best buds, Lloyd and Harry, who are really stupid people. The whole point of the movie is the two of them on a mission to return a briefcase to a woman. They travel far and along the way pick up hitch hikers, end up killing someone and pulling pranks on people. They don't know what is in the suitcase and choose not to look, and also because it is locked. The rest of the movie shows the shennanigans they encounter and go through along the way to Aspen to return the briefcase to its rightful owner. I'm not going to give away any parts of the movie or the funny parts because you'll have to see it for yourself if you havn't yet.
This movie is definitely a must see. I have seen it at least 100 times and that is certainly not a lie. They actually came out with a prequel to the movie called 'Dumb and Dumberer' but it was a huge flop and hopefully would never make it on anyones list of great comedy movies. As far as the first movie goes, it deserves a spot in my book.

Tommy Boy
"Hi, I'm Earth. Have we met?"
Tommy Boy, made in 1995, is one of my favorite movies. Although Chris Farley is a complete idiot in the movie, that is why I love it so much.
After taking seven years to graduate, Tommy Callahan Jr. (Farley) takes a job in his fathers auto parts factory. Tommy is then introduced to a new product that is going to be sold in their factory which is brake pads. Not only is he introduced to a new part, he is also introduced to his new step mom and her son. When his father dies after Tommy is home from college, the factory is in trouble of being shut down unless they sell a crazy amount of brake pads.
The movie follows the silly life of Tommy who is constantly pulling pranks and his whole life is a charade. Now he is the one who has to save the factory and in a short time. Tommy goes to weird extremes to save his dad's name and reputation.
This movie is definitely not a crowd pleaser for everyone. With that said, Chris Farley makes this movie. I love these kinds of movies and that is why it's making it on my list of Great Comedy Movies.

Christmas Vacation
"And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse."
Christmas Vacation, which came out in 1989, is a great comedy movie. My family and I watch it at least 5 times during the month of Christmas, because it never is Christmas unless we watch it. I rarely watch movies out of season, but I enjoy this movie so much that I can actually watch it in other months besides December.
The movie follows the Griswold family and all of their traditions for the Christmas holiday. They start off with the Griswold family cutting down their own tree themselves in the woods. Clark Griswold, Chevy Chase, has just put down a deposit for a swimming pool at his house because he knows his Christmas bonus will pay for it. What he doesn't know is that he's going to get a completely different bonus this year. The family has their relatives over to celebrate for Christmas and along the way, very weird and hilarious things happen which continuously surprise you. The clip below is a little taste of how wacked out the movie is and this is their family Christmas Eve dinner.
I'd like to guess that anyone who is reading this post has seen this movie. If you havn't even heard of this movie before, I may have lost a little bit of respect for you. They came out with a sequel but I have never seen it and don't plan too.
Christmas Vacation, which came out in 1989, is a great comedy movie. My family and I watch it at least 5 times during the month of Christmas, because it never is Christmas unless we watch it. I rarely watch movies out of season, but I enjoy this movie so much that I can actually watch it in other months besides December.
The movie follows the Griswold family and all of their traditions for the Christmas holiday. They start off with the Griswold family cutting down their own tree themselves in the woods. Clark Griswold, Chevy Chase, has just put down a deposit for a swimming pool at his house because he knows his Christmas bonus will pay for it. What he doesn't know is that he's going to get a completely different bonus this year.

The Jerk
" And that's it and that's the only thing I need, is this."
This is a great movie. This movie is 31 years old and that is what makes it even better. Steve Martin is a hit in it. My mom is the one who forced me to watch it the first time and I actually didn't enjoy it because I usually don't like old movies. After the 3rd time I saw it I really liked it so I think it should make it on my great comedy movies blog. It is such a classic.
The Jerk is about a man named Navin Johnson who grows up in Mississippi. He is adopted by a black family who cares for him like he was their own son. When he is 18 he decides he wants to see what the world is really like so he sets out to St. Louis. Along the way, many funny things happen. I'm not going to tell you anything about what happens along the way because thats why the movie is awesome. Check out the clip below as a taste of how the movie is:
This was Steve Martin's first role in a feature film. This really put Steve Martin on the radar for acting. In 2000, it was voted the "48th greatest comedy movie of all time". This is 6th for my blog posts, but don't be mistaken. This is definitely worth your time to watch if you havn't seen it yet.

Best in Show
"Rhapsody has two mommies."
Best in Show is a comedy movie that has been flying under the radar for ten years now. I know many of movie buffs who havn't even heard or seen of this movie before. This is definitely a weird & awkward but funny movie.
Best in Show delves into the lives of five show dogs owners. It follows their lifestyles up until the Mayflower Kennel Club Dog Show in Philadelphia. The camera crew interviews and follows their lifestyles and how they prepare for the upcoming dog show. The movie deals with all the owners and the weird/quirky lengths the owners will go for their dogs. The movie involves things like a crazy couple obessed with their show dog and willing to do anything for him to the journey other dog show owners go through.
The movie has a weird type of humor so I wouldn't exactly suggest this one for everyone. The reviews for the movie are pretty mixed as well. I would say though, that if you have a sense of humor at all, go for it because it has potential to be one of your favorite movies after seeing it.

Dazed and Confused
"You just gotta keep livin' man, L-I-V-I-N."
Dazed and Confused is a great movie in general. It actually has a lot of actors that have become extremely popular since it came out in 1993.
The movie is about the last day of school in Texas in 1976. It has the whole shabangs from upperclassmen harrasing and beating the underclassmen to a kegger in the woods. The movie follows the last day of school until the next morning, where summer has officially begun. Not only do the senior boys haze the incoming freshman, the senior girls even haze the incoming freshmen as well.
The movie does a good job of going into what highschool was like in the 70's. Even though the movie takes place over about a 24 hour span, it never gets boring or slow. I quote this movie once in a while because it is still histerical to me. There is talk going around about a "sequel" similar to this movie but who knows if it's true. Great Comedy Movie #4- Dazed and Confused.

My Cousin Vinny
"What is a 'yoot'?" "Oh, excuse me, your honor...Two YOUTHS."
After looking at websites for this blog, I found a page that uncovers all of the mistakes in the movie and I love to see movie bloopers. This movie was made in 1992, and even though it has a lot of movie bloopers and I was only three years old when it came out, it didn't stop me from seeing it as I grew older. This movie is still widely talked about today even though it is 18 years old.
My Cousin Vinny is about two innocent boys heading to college when they end up being arrested for murder and robbery at an Alabama local convenience store. When they need a lawyer for the case and realize they don't have enough money to pay for one, they decide to ask for help from one of the accused's cousins whose an extremely inexperienced lawyer who has never even been part of a trial before. The cousin lawyer is Vincent Gambini (Joe Pesci) a New Yorker who seems to stir up a lot of trouble in the Alabama town. He brings his fiancee, Mona Lisa Vito (Marisa Tomei) with him who is a great comic relief as well in the movie. The movie follows all the way down to the trial. I'm not going to tell you what happens in the end though because if you havn't already seen it, I'm not going to be the one to ruin it for you.

Super Troopers
"Want me to punch-a-size your face, for free?"
So to stay along with the theme of this blog, I am going to list another crude humor movie you should all see at one point or another- Super Troopers.
The audience for this movie is more of a younger one such as college kids or young adults. This explains why me and my friends enjoy the movie so much.
The movie is about Vermont state troopers Thorny, Mac, Rabbit, Foster and Farva. They don't take their job seriously and when they pull people over they usually play pranks on them such as how many times they can say meow to the offender. The budget cuts in Spurbery, the town they are located in, start to have an affect on the department by threatening their existence. The story follows the department and how they plan on staying alive involving drug busts, a dead body and ridiculous times along the way.
I'm pretty sure that I have quoted this movie at least 50 times since I have seen it and I can say the same for my friends. I love it so much because no matter how many times I see it, it never gets old. There is talk about there being a sequel to Super Troopers, which I hope is true.
So folks, Super Troopers is officially on the list of Best Comedy Movies

Pineapple Express
"Yeah, maybe. Maybe he went to heaven. He was a little fucker. He could've gone to hell."
Pineapple Express...as of now, it is definitely one of my favorite funny movies.
Not only are the characters in this movie hilarious, the lines/quotes are pretty damn good as well. I sometimes find myself in the mood to watch a movie that has dumb humor and this one will definitely fulfill that want.
*Check out the Pineapple Express trailer below*
For the people who live under a rock and have not seen this movie yet or even heard of it, I suggest you watch it soon. The movie was actually pretty good in the box office. The movie follows two stoners and the adventures they have together after they find out they are being followed by a drug dealer and the police. The two main characters, who are the stoners, are Seth Rogen and James Franco.
After seeing this movie about ten times, that's when I really started to appreciate it. Some people would consider this a disgrace to comedy movies, and I guess in a way it is. But I am a big movie buff and to me this movie definitely goes on my list of funny ones.
So .. to everyone who is reading this and has not seen it yet, add Pineapple Express to your list of movies to watch because if you have a sense of humor, you probably will end up liking it as well.
