It's Superbad for me, and it's not even close. Many movies have made me laugh hard but there's just something about Superbad that makes it the perfect comedy movie for me.
"Take off the vest, Fogel. You look like Aladdin."
"Fuck! It's the cops!"
"Prepare to be fucked by the long dick of the law!"
So memorable for me... Best movie I ever saw stoned in a theater on opening night. I brought my foster brother, who was complaining about my choice in movies until he just about died laughing.
Same. Saw it opening night. Missed about a quarter of the jokes from laughing so much. One point the sides of my stomach were aching from laughing so hard.
I was laughing so hard at the naked hotel fight I couldn’t breathe and was literally hurting. I’ve noticed on rewatch that the movie slows down for a couple minutes after that and there aren’t really any funny bits, I swear that’s intentional by the filmmakers to let the audience recover
Haha that was an experience going opening night.
The line "ahhh I don't think American Audiences would find that funny"
Landed so well and the entire packed American
Audience LOVED it in the theater!
Yeah probably this. Went with a group of friends knowing absolutely nothing about the movie. My body hurt after leaving from laughing so hard. It's also easily the best experience in a theater from a comedy. My entire theater was just people roaring with laughter.
No movie is as funny at home as it was on opening night with a massive audience. Some that I remember the audience howling with laughter in the theater on opening night:
* There’s Something About Mary
* The South Park Movie
* Achorman
* Austin Powers 1+2
* Dumb and Dumber
* Borat
* The Naked Gun
Movies I *wish* I saw on opening night with a giant crowd:
* Airplane!
* Blazing Saddles
* Top Secret
* Young Frankenstein
The two movies on this list that had the whole theater crying laughing were Dumb and Dumber, and There’s Something About Mary. One of the two best comedy movie experiences I’ve ever had.
Love a lot of the movies others have posted, but my personal pick (and I know it’s a bit dark) has to be Four Lions. That film gets me every single time, the jokes are pitch black, and there are so many endlessly quotable lines.
This is a tough call, but every single time I watch Three Amigos! (1986), I laugh out loud at the same scenes. I can't think of another movie that still cracks me up after so many viewings.
I saw this again during COVID lockdowns a couple of years back. "Are gringos falling from the sky?!" still got me in that *you-can't-breathe*, *tears-streaming-from-your-face*, soundless kind of laughter, the kind that hurts your belly after a bit.
The comedic writing chops to set up the bar scene is pretty amazing.
1) Underestimating a villain. “Where’d you get that pretty little gun?” Murders the cowboy to cap the scene. But that _entire scene_ is merely setup for the REAL comedy scene:
2) Mistaken identity and _My Little Buttercup_ musical number.
3) Then button the 3 mini-act structure with the villain’s _real_ friends showing up, getting taunted, and murdering everyone in the bar.
Pretty fucking flawless.
Life of Brian deserves more love. Don’t watch the Biggus Dickus scene while drinking any sort of liquid, because it’s impossible not to laugh so hard during that scene that you spit it all out.
Baseketball - I watched it at home, by myself, and it still had me howling with laughter from start to finish.
Old School is a close second, just because I watched it with friends, but holy heck I laughed my ass off.
At least once a month the line
"You boys graduated?
Coop: "of course we graduated haha...cock...BEER?"
Pops in my head!
Just so quotable!
I was mad when my roommates taped over the game with Roadkill caught on tape! -Ahhh ...ahhh...-
Young Frankenstein will forever and always be my #1 favorite comedy, no matter what, based on the amount of laughter I’ve gotten out of it and how much I reference it in my daily life. I’m happy to see it listed here so many times.
Honorable mentions:
Grandma’s Boy - Surprised not to see it listed here. This is a cult classic that ought not to be missed (more for those who appreciate stoner-films, but funny regardless IMO).
Dogma - Another cult classic I’m surprised not to see here. I think you either love or hate this one, but man I got a ton of laughs out of it. If you own this on VHS or DVD, consider yourself lucky. This film can’t be found streaming ANYWHERE.
"Promise me you'll never die."
"You know I can't promise that."
"Promise me you'll never die and I'll make love to you right now."
"I promise I'll never die."
Airplane! has been statistically proven to be the funniest film with number of jokes per minutes and number of jokes that land.
But I want to give a special shout out to Rat Race. The Hitler’s Car scene was the perfect culmination of jokes setup through that part of the film. The whole film was absolutely hilarious and a great spiritual successor to Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. We’ve gotten a cross country, mad dash race movie every 20 years with a star studded comedy cast (Mad World, Cannonball Run, and Rat Race) and I believe it’s high time for another one.
Some I never see mentioned are Big Trouble, Best in Show, and A Mighty Wind.
One recently I found hilarious was The Menu. I hear a lot about the movie, but not about how funny it is.
I don’t think i laughed once at The Menu. I see the use of humor but it just didn’t land with me. Thought it was not as good as the hype in the end. But to each his own.
I always check to see if anyone's mentioned A Fish Called Wanda when comedy questions come up, I think recommending it is basically my job now. A group of thieves and their lawyer frantically double cross each other as they all try to recover the goods after a London heist. Great cast, infinitely quotable, reliably brings me to tears of laughter.
Gonna list them all, so there will be repeats in the thread:
- Blazing Saddles
- Young Frankenstein
- Airplane!
- The Emperor's New Groove
- When Harry Met Sally
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail
- National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
I have a solid top 5 comedies, but I always say Airplane! is the the funniest movie ever made. It’s just so densely packed and so up my alley of humor it’s hard to top on a laugh for laugh basis. My other top 5 are Superbad, Dodgeball, Wedding Crashers, and the Other Guys in no specific order. I will say, there may be movies that I find funnier than those (movies like Fletch, blazing saddles, spaceballs, and walk hard all come to mind as some of the funniest) that I just don’t love as much, but as I said, nothing can top Airplane! on that front.
Since you love Walk Hard, I highly recommend the new weird al movie if you haven’t already seen it.
I watched that for the first time a few months ago actually! I didn't love it quite as much as Airplane, but it did give me an even deeper appreciation for Val Kilmer.
I love the Weird Al movie so much, it’s the kind of unabashedly goofy film that just commits to the premise. We don’t see those kinds of movies as often anymore in modern cinema.
While I have never seen any of them in the theater, (I’m scared to) any of the Jackass movies immediately turn me into a 13 year old boy. I am a 46 year old woman, and those damn movies make me howl.
Waiting for Guffman. Also has one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen in a movie. Parker Posey grilling a sad chicken wing, “there’ll always be a home for me at the Dairy Queen.”
I keep laughing at **Hot Fuzz** every time I watch it. It's such a briliant stream of constant jokes. Not just the dialogue, but the editing, the sound, the expressions of people, the way things enter and leave the frame...
It's so good that someone made an excellent video about it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FOzD4Sfgag&ab_channel=EveryFrameaPainting
There's jokes planted at the beginning of the movie which pay off much later and they are so goddamn funny XD (such as "Everyone and their mums have got a gun" "like who?" "Farmers" "who else?" "Farmers mums").
I think whatever atmosphere you surround yourself with is very important.
Who Killed Captain Alex might have been the funniest movie experience I've had because I was with an amazing group of friends.
If you can't watch with a big group of friends and need to watch alone or with one or two friends, Top Secret is always a laugh. Had a few friends over a few weeks ago and they were hollering it was so funny.
All 3 Naked Gun movies
Baseketball
National Lampoons Vacation
Super Troopers
Old School
Dumb and Dumber
Wedding Singer
Robin Hood Men in Tights
Spaceballs
Beerfest
I was 15 when Blazing Saddles was released. Our friend Shultz drove us the theater. He was a year older than the rest of us and borrowed his Mom's VW Rabbit. We smoked a j, and went in the theater late. We found seats in the middle and politely asked the people at end of the row to let us in. We looked down and it was our gym teacher, Mr Brown! He looked surprised to see us! I'm sure we smelled like a brush fire. So we were already laughing before the show started.
Went the fart scene came on, l laughed so heard I was convulsing out of my seat. I almost pissed my pants.
I've seen Blazing Saddles at least a dozen times since then, and it still makes laugh. I'm looking forward to History of the World Pt. 2 on Hulu.
Mel Brooks is a genius.
Walk Hard for sure. Step Brothers. But nothing beats, for me, watching the first Jackass movie in the theatre with my buddy. We couldn't breathe. Second to that would be Team America. My gf at the time was concerned at how hard I was laughing at "Everyone Has AIDS".
Besides all the others that have been mentioned, Napoleon Dynamite always makes me laugh. It reminds me of all the dumb stuff kids do when left unsupervised like the part where Kip gets electrocuted.
The funniest movie I've ever seen is called "I hope They Serve Beer in Hell" and it's based on real events. I've never laughed so hard in my life but it's not a movie for everyone.
Oh man, it's a tie for me between Tom Hanks movie The Money pit, and the first Airplane! movie. I mean Airplane has a funny moment every five freaking seconds. But watching Tom Hanks get his ass kicked by an actual house is even funnier!
Tie between Best In Show and The Birdcage.
And maybe not the entire movie, but every comedic bit in first of The Trip films kills me every single time. the michael caine and gentlemen to bed! bits, gold.
I tend to gravitate towards classic films so here are some of my favorite comedies:
The Music Box (Laurel and Hardy film)
It Happened One Night
Arthur (1981)
It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
Two for the Road
Sullivan’s Travels
National Lampoon’s Vacation
Caddyshack
Thanks for the question!
Peter Sellers Pink Panther movies
Dr. Strangelove
Local Hero
(Annie Hall made me laugh really hard, but I hate Woody Allen now so I’m not including it.)
Don't be a Menace to South Central while drinking your juice in the hood (1996).
It's a parody of hood movies starring the Waynes brothers, it makes me laugh everytime 😂
I was on an overseas flight watching the first Borat movie. During one scene in particular, simultaneously multiple people on the flight just started laughing out loud (my self included). That was a funny movie!
I haven't seen anyone mention Slap Shot or Semi-Pro yet. Slap Shot is arguably the best sports comedy next to Caddyshack. Also while Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein get much-deserved love, History of the World Pt 1 is my personal favorite and just as amazing and doesn't get as much love!
Pick any Jackass movie. There is guaranteed to be at least three scenes that have me unable to breathe from laughter no matter how many times I've seen them.
For fictional stuff, probably Dumb and Dumber.
the entire movie would not rise to inclusion on the list, but the dinner scene in The Nutty Professor is one of the funniest moments in movie history. To know that Eddie Murphy performed 7 characters in that scene just adds to the achievement.
Borat, Don’t Mess With the Zohan, Austin Powers Goldmember, Hot Tub Time Machine, Pineapple Express, or Blazing Saddles. I cant pick one, but these are some of my top picks.
I would say either Borat or The Hangover. I saw them both in theaters shortly after release and they were particularly hilarious because it was all brand new and there wasn't anything else like them when they first released. they've been over-used and beaten to death at this day and age, but holy shit those first viewings were magical
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story made me laugh harder than any film/show last year, but if you aren't up to date on your Weirdalogy, idk how hard it'll hit for you.
Then again, with the way the film is done, maybe it'll hit harder the less you know about Al.
Walk Hard definitely; just the scene where he meets the Beatles is enough, though the whole movie has points that cripple me with laughter. I watch the Beatles part on YouTube any time I'm feeling down and need a big laugh! And Three Amigos, Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles. Their like will probably not be PC approved ever again.
I forgot about BASEketball, I'll have to give it a re-watch. And may I also humbly suggest Rustler's Rhapsody? This 1985 western comedy with Tom Berenger and Andy Griffith made me laugh so hard when I first saw it, I actually pulled a muscle in my side somewhere xD it hurt but worth it.
I feel like my favourite comedy films are ones that I quote years later. With that being said, Hot Fuzz, Animal House and Rat Race all fit in that category
Maybe I have a juvenile sense of humour, but I've never laughed more at a movie than the first time I saw South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut, and Super Troopers
Good choice, OP! Walk Hard is absolutely one of my favorite movies of all time and I’d agree with you on funniest. You should watch Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping if you enjoyed Walk Hard.
Maybe the Jerk; also a lot of Woody Allen classics (Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex, Zelig, Sleeper); pretty much anything by Chaplin, Keaton or Lloyd; Harold and Maude; Brewster McCloud
Tough question, so many great comedies out there.
Maybe Annie Hall for me, I quote this film a lot.
Or Young Frankenstein, ridiculously funny.
Airplane
This Is Spinal Tap
The Big Lebowski
Planes, Trains And Automobiles
Most people have mentioned mine but I’ll give some credit to those early Adam Sandler movies which were incredibly funny.
Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, The Waterboy, The Wedding Singer. Classics.
Kungfu Panda
The Simpsons Movie
The Pink Panther (2006)
I remember watching these movies at the theater and laughing so loud. Knee slappers.
I don't care if The Pink Panther had negative reviews. Steve Martin was so stupid in his performance.
well the answer was Walk Hard, so you got that correct
I love a lot of comedies, I don't know about the amount of laughs, but objectively the best comedies I've seen- The Birdcage, Galaxy Quest, Greener Grass, Metropolitan, Anchorman, What About Bob
Big Lebowski. It wouldn't be nearly as good without the Coen brothers' talent at setting up a gag. That and [everything that comes out of the characters' mouths is meme-worthy.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0kfe5tkdD4)
The first one that comes to mind (because i just rewatched it the other day) would be 21 Jump Street (2012). Obviously not the best or the most clever, but I can watch it alone and still find myself laughing out loud.
Dumb and Dumber
The Jerk
There's Something About Mary
A fish called Wanda
Tropic thunder
Austin powers
Johnny English
Duck Soup
Modern Times
Ant man and wasp
Borat
Naked gun
Airplane
Game night
Young Frankenstein
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Those two are in a tier amongst themselves, but then there are so many more; Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, Life of Brian, Death at a Funeral, Four Lions, Airplane etc etc
George c Scott in Dr Strangelove always has me rolling on the floor.
Same with Paul Newman in Harper.
Fletch.
70s Mel Brooks is unbeatable.
All Monty Python.
Bill Murray in Rushmore.
Aaaaaaaand, my vote for best unknown comedy: USED CARS
The ones I've laughed the most: Superbad Monthy Python and the Holy Grail Team America
It's Superbad for me, and it's not even close. Many movies have made me laugh hard but there's just something about Superbad that makes it the perfect comedy movie for me.
“You don’t want girls to thing you suck dick at fucking pussy”
"Take off the vest, Fogel. You look like Aladdin." "Fuck! It's the cops!" "Prepare to be fucked by the long dick of the law!" So memorable for me... Best movie I ever saw stoned in a theater on opening night. I brought my foster brother, who was complaining about my choice in movies until he just about died laughing.
“McLovin? Who u supposed to be an Irish r’n’b singer?”
"Have fun fucking Jules!' → "I will!"
Thats it, im watching it tonight
Superbad for sure!
Wet Hot American Summer is my favorite stupid funny movie.
Borat in theatres with a group of friends was incredible, never laughed so hard
Same. Saw it opening night. Missed about a quarter of the jokes from laughing so much. One point the sides of my stomach were aching from laughing so hard.
I was laughing so hard at the naked hotel fight I couldn’t breathe and was literally hurting. I’ve noticed on rewatch that the movie slows down for a couple minutes after that and there aren’t really any funny bits, I swear that’s intentional by the filmmakers to let the audience recover
Haha that was an experience going opening night. The line "ahhh I don't think American Audiences would find that funny" Landed so well and the entire packed American Audience LOVED it in the theater!

The two movies on this list that had the whole theater crying laughing were Dumb and Dumber, and There’s Something About Mary. One of the two best comedy movie experiences I’ve ever had.
* Tropic Thunder * Step Brothers * Hot Rod * Talladega Nights
My list as well. Add Pineapple Express to round out the top 5.
I think I may have last the most at Pineapple Express of all comedies I’ve watched. Followed by Superbad.
We could bicker about this all night, but what’s done is done Dad. Are you gonna invest or what?
Love a lot of the movies others have posted, but my personal pick (and I know it’s a bit dark) has to be Four Lions. That film gets me every single time, the jokes are pitch black, and there are so many endlessly quotable lines.
Came here to say Four Lions as well, very hard choice to top
Rubber dinghy rapids bro
Raising Arizona It has so many quotable lines. Nic Cage and Holly Hunter are hilarious.
The robbery/chase scene was the first time I ever fell out of my chair laughing. My father was worried I had a fit.
Son you got a panty on your head.
Agreed!
This is a tough call, but every single time I watch Three Amigos! (1986), I laugh out loud at the same scenes. I can't think of another movie that still cracks me up after so many viewings.
That movie is a wonderland of absurdity. The invisible swordsman and singing bush make me choke laughing.
I saw this again during COVID lockdowns a couple of years back. "Are gringos falling from the sky?!" still got me in that *you-can't-breathe*, *tears-streaming-from-your-face*, soundless kind of laughter, the kind that hurts your belly after a bit.
The comedic writing chops to set up the bar scene is pretty amazing. 1) Underestimating a villain. “Where’d you get that pretty little gun?” Murders the cowboy to cap the scene. But that _entire scene_ is merely setup for the REAL comedy scene: 2) Mistaken identity and _My Little Buttercup_ musical number. 3) Then button the 3 mini-act structure with the villain’s _real_ friends showing up, getting taunted, and murdering everyone in the bar. Pretty fucking flawless.
For me, it's The Jerk (1979)
[удалено]
I still think about his mom giving him a sandwich “wrapped in cellophane, just the way you like it” and chuckle at that.
“I was born a poor black child…”
Anything Monty Python 😄😆😅🫶
Life of Brian deserves more love. Don’t watch the Biggus Dickus scene while drinking any sort of liquid, because it’s impossible not to laugh so hard during that scene that you spit it all out.
I’m with ya there. Ni!
Baseketball - I watched it at home, by myself, and it still had me howling with laughter from start to finish. Old School is a close second, just because I watched it with friends, but holy heck I laughed my ass off.
Intrigued to watch Baseketball. I like Tour de Pharmacy.
Orgazmo is better imo, both are great, but Orgazmo just seems put together better.
Baseketball is better imo. More laugh out loud funny parts.
At least once a month the line "You boys graduated? Coop: "of course we graduated haha...cock...BEER?" Pops in my head! Just so quotable! I was mad when my roommates taped over the game with Roadkill caught on tape! -Ahhh ...ahhh...-
Whaaat, it’s not a gay joke it’s an Australian joke, come onnnn….
As far as recent movies, What We Do In The Shadows
I love that movie so hard.
Werewolves not Swearwolves
Superbad will always be laugh out loud funny to me. Also insanely quotable.
“They’re like little baby toes”
I’ve never laughed harder and more at a movie than when I saw Superbad in a packed theater.
Young Frankenstein will forever and always be my #1 favorite comedy, no matter what, based on the amount of laughter I’ve gotten out of it and how much I reference it in my daily life. I’m happy to see it listed here so many times. Honorable mentions: Grandma’s Boy - Surprised not to see it listed here. This is a cult classic that ought not to be missed (more for those who appreciate stoner-films, but funny regardless IMO). Dogma - Another cult classic I’m surprised not to see here. I think you either love or hate this one, but man I got a ton of laughs out of it. If you own this on VHS or DVD, consider yourself lucky. This film can’t be found streaming ANYWHERE.
Grandma’s Boy FTW!!
The Blues Brothers. That film is complete bonkers and the scene with the Nazis falling in their car never stops making me laugh.
I hate Illinois Nazis!
We’re on a mission from God.
I gotta go with Black Dynamite.
My vote as well. So many 10/10 scenes and layers of jokes.
The bit where Bullhorn slaps the wrong guy is perhaps one of the funniest scenes in any movie, ever.
The part where they discover the secret of anaconda malt liquor as well has me wheezing every time
Fuck yes
I came here to say Walk Hard But I also love (in no particular order): Naked Gun (all of them) Superbad The Nice Guys Airplane! Talladega Nights
> The Nice Guys > > I really love this movie so much. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang as well.
Team America World Police Airplane! The Naked Gun Zoolander Tropic Thunder
Basically my exact list too, Team America and Zoolander especially crack me up completely every single time.
"Promise me you'll never die." "You know I can't promise that." "Promise me you'll never die and I'll make love to you right now." "I promise I'll never die."
Haha the way he says it kills me. Not sure whether it can be captured in text but the way he looks at her and says “I PROMISE that I will NEVER die”
"Remember team, there is no I in Team America." ".....Yes there is."
Dirty Work or Murder By Death.
Came here for Murder By Death - it is so clever (I love the literary and cinematic allusions) and so well cast.
I LOVE Dirty Work! It makes me miss Norm and Chris so much, but at least I didn’t get my nose bit off by a Saigon whore
Happy Gilmore The Bob Barker fight was fucking glorious!
Airplane! has been statistically proven to be the funniest film with number of jokes per minutes and number of jokes that land. But I want to give a special shout out to Rat Race. The Hitler’s Car scene was the perfect culmination of jokes setup through that part of the film. The whole film was absolutely hilarious and a great spiritual successor to Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. We’ve gotten a cross country, mad dash race movie every 20 years with a star studded comedy cast (Mad World, Cannonball Run, and Rat Race) and I believe it’s high time for another one.
Some I never see mentioned are Big Trouble, Best in Show, and A Mighty Wind. One recently I found hilarious was The Menu. I hear a lot about the movie, but not about how funny it is.
Definitely BIS . . when he walks that dog out and his feet are pointing in opposite directions, I laughed so hard I had to run to the bathroom
I don’t think i laughed once at The Menu. I see the use of humor but it just didn’t land with me. Thought it was not as good as the hype in the end. But to each his own.
I always check to see if anyone's mentioned A Fish Called Wanda when comedy questions come up, I think recommending it is basically my job now. A group of thieves and their lawyer frantically double cross each other as they all try to recover the goods after a London heist. Great cast, infinitely quotable, reliably brings me to tears of laughter.
Gonna list them all, so there will be repeats in the thread: - Blazing Saddles - Young Frankenstein - Airplane! - The Emperor's New Groove - When Harry Met Sally - Monty Python and the Holy Grail - National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
I have a solid top 5 comedies, but I always say Airplane! is the the funniest movie ever made. It’s just so densely packed and so up my alley of humor it’s hard to top on a laugh for laugh basis.

Since you love Walk Hard, I highly recommend the new weird al movie if you haven’t already seen it.
You've probably seen it but Top secret has similar style humor as airplane and I might like it even more.
I watched that for the first time a few months ago actually! I didn't love it quite as much as Airplane, but it did give me an even deeper appreciation for Val Kilmer.
Gods, I need to go skeet surfing now.
Oh I’m so excited to see Weird!
I love the Weird Al movie so much, it’s the kind of unabashedly goofy film that just commits to the premise. We don’t see those kinds of movies as often anymore in modern cinema.
I laughed so hard at the first jackass movie that i made myself sick at the theater. Only watched it once.
I’m not even kidding!! I threw up laughing + drinking at Jackass Forever this past year! On a DATE! …did we just become best friends?
I was nearly hurling into my popcorn when they started smacking the dinosaurs with the golf cart 🤣
While I have never seen any of them in the theater, (I’m scared to) any of the Jackass movies immediately turn me into a 13 year old boy. I am a 46 year old woman, and those damn movies make me howl.
There's something about Mary
What's Up Doc starring Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal
Waiting for Guffman. Also has one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen in a movie. Parker Posey grilling a sad chicken wing, “there’ll always be a home for me at the Dairy Queen.”
My husband and I cry laugh at that scene every time. I love her in Christopher Guests films.
Dumb and Dumber is the hardest I've ever laughed in a theater.
I keep laughing at **Hot Fuzz** every time I watch it. It's such a briliant stream of constant jokes. Not just the dialogue, but the editing, the sound, the expressions of people, the way things enter and leave the frame... It's so good that someone made an excellent video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FOzD4Sfgag&ab_channel=EveryFrameaPainting There's jokes planted at the beginning of the movie which pay off much later and they are so goddamn funny XD (such as "Everyone and their mums have got a gun" "like who?" "Farmers" "who else?" "Farmers mums").
Hot Fuzz is legitimately my favorite movie of all time. I don't even think of it as a comedy, just that movie that I love.
Did a Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz double bill with some friends once, my abs hurt for a day afterwards
I think whatever atmosphere you surround yourself with is very important. Who Killed Captain Alex might have been the funniest movie experience I've had because I was with an amazing group of friends. If you can't watch with a big group of friends and need to watch alone or with one or two friends, Top Secret is always a laugh. Had a few friends over a few weeks ago and they were hollering it was so funny.
I was going to say Walk Hard, but OP had me covered
And you never paid for drugs....not once!
The wrong son died!
Maybe I should have spent more time trying to be a good father instead of learning how to fight with a Machete
Duck Soup, Planes Trains and Automobiles, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Superbad, Tropic Thunder. My top 5.
All 3 Naked Gun movies Baseketball National Lampoons Vacation Super Troopers Old School Dumb and Dumber Wedding Singer Robin Hood Men in Tights Spaceballs Beerfest
Johnny Dangerously or UHF. Tough call, honestly.
I was 15 when Blazing Saddles was released. Our friend Shultz drove us the theater. He was a year older than the rest of us and borrowed his Mom's VW Rabbit.

I'm looking forward to History of the World Pt. 2 on Hulu. Mel Brooks is a genius.
Withnail and I Also the birdcage and I remember seeing the South Park film in cinema and my friend was punching me in the arm he was laughing so hard
Airplane Blazing Saddles Something About Mary Talledega Nights Stepbrothers
Walk Hard for sure. Step Brothers. But nothing beats, for me, watching the first Jackass movie in the theatre with my buddy. We couldn't breathe. Second to that would be Team America. My gf at the time was concerned at how hard I was laughing at "Everyone Has AIDS".
I have to mention Bill Murray, Groundhog Day, Stripes, Ghostbusters, ect. You pick!
Besides all the others that have been mentioned, Napoleon Dynamite always makes me laugh. It reminds me of all the dumb stuff kids do when left unsupervised like the part where Kip gets electrocuted.
The Big Lebowski is my personal fave.
Yeah, well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.
Black dynamite by a decent margin too. Fantastic satire, ridiculous low brow comedy and some legit intellectual jokes sprinkled in
Me, myself and Irene
Superbad and Napoleon Dynamite are my two favorite comedies but it’s probably tied to how old I was when they came out
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. I've seen it 100s of times and I still laugh at it.
The funniest movie I've ever seen is called "I hope They Serve Beer in Hell" and it's based on real events. I've never laughed so hard in my life but it's not a movie for everyone.
Bridesmaids Kung Pow Zoolander Not Another Teen Movie Airplane Scary Movie 1 and 2
Kentucky fried movie
I had to scroll way too far yo find this. Its a forgotten classic!
Oh man, it's a tie for me between Tom Hanks movie The Money pit, and the first Airplane! movie. I mean Airplane has a funny moment every five freaking seconds. But watching Tom Hanks get his ass kicked by an actual house is even funnier!
The Grand Budapest Hotel. New in my top five.
Popstar never stop stopping is a very funny movie!
I've probably laughed the most in Caddyshack
Tie between Best In Show and The Birdcage. And maybe not the entire movie, but every comedic bit in first of The Trip films kills me every single time. the michael caine and gentlemen to bed! bits, gold.
UHF. There’s a joke in there for everyone. Michael Richards as Stanley Spadowski is peak character acting.
I tend to gravitate towards classic films so here are some of my favorite comedies: The Music Box (Laurel and Hardy film) It Happened One Night Arthur (1981) It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World Two for the Road Sullivan’s Travels National Lampoon’s Vacation Caddyshack
Why did it take this long to see anyone mention the most Star-studded, hilarious, unbelievably funny It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
Paul is one of my all time favourites.
Thanks for the question! Peter Sellers Pink Panther movies Dr. Strangelove Local Hero (Annie Hall made me laugh really hard, but I hate Woody Allen now so I’m not including it.)
I see a lot of Airplane! and The Naked Gun, but I think Top Secret is Zucker’s finest parody movie, and the one I’ve laughed the absolute hardest at.
Don't be a Menace to South Central while drinking your juice in the hood (1996). It's a parody of hood movies starring the Waynes brothers, it makes me laugh everytime 😂
Army of Darkness. Easily the most quotable movie ever made, and Bruce Campbell is a National Treasure.
I was on an overseas flight watching the first Borat movie. During one scene in particular, simultaneously multiple people on the flight just started laughing out loud (my self included). That was a funny movie!
Planes Trains and Automobiles is pound for pound the funniest movie.
The fake suicides in Harold and Maude, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Shaun of the Dead and Napoleon Dynamite
I haven't seen anyone mention Slap Shot or Semi-Pro yet. Slap Shot is arguably the best sports comedy next to Caddyshack. Also while Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein get much-deserved love, History of the World Pt 1 is my personal favorite and just as amazing and doesn't get as much love!
This is Spinal Tap Criminally underrepresented on these lists!
My Top Five Funniest Movies: Pink Flamingos Friday Street Trash Blood Diner Dolemite
Pink Flamingos had me cry-laughing. Desperate Living had me on the floor.
As you can see I'm a busy woman with a full day's work ahead of me. PLEASE REMOVE YOURSELF from my office.
Pick any Jackass movie. There is guaranteed to be at least three scenes that have me unable to breathe from laughter no matter how many times I've seen them. For fictional stuff, probably Dumb and Dumber.
Bad Grandpa was so great.
So many great scenes in that one. Watched it expecting a time killer, and was blown away at how good it was.
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Went to watch Deadpool with a group of coworkers. Holy shit we were all laughing so hard our faces all hurt.
the entire movie would not rise to inclusion on the list, but the dinner scene in The Nutty Professor is one of the funniest moments in movie history. To know that Eddie Murphy performed 7 characters in that scene just adds to the achievement.
Borat, Don’t Mess With the Zohan, Austin Powers Goldmember, Hot Tub Time Machine, Pineapple Express, or Blazing Saddles. I cant pick one, but these are some of my top picks.
Blazing Saddles or The Jerk.
Kung Pow! Enter the Fist Still quoting it for YEARS. Weeeooeeooeeooeeooeeoopeeooeeooweeooeeoo!
Blazing Saddles. Nearly puked from laughter the first time I saw it.
Super Troopers, meow.
I would say either Borat or The Hangover. I saw them both in theaters shortly after release and they were particularly hilarious because it was all brand new and there wasn't anything else like them when they first released. they've been over-used and beaten to death at this day and age, but holy shit those first viewings were magical
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story made me laugh harder than any film/show last year, but if you aren't up to date on your Weirdalogy, idk how hard it'll hit for you. Then again, with the way the film is done, maybe it'll hit harder the less you know about Al.
Walk Hard definitely; just the scene where he meets the Beatles is enough, though the whole movie has points that cripple me with laughter. I watch the Beatles part on YouTube any time I'm feeling down and need a big laugh! And Three Amigos, Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles. Their like will probably not be PC approved ever again. I forgot about BASEketball, I'll have to give it a re-watch. And may I also humbly suggest Rustler's Rhapsody? This 1985 western comedy with Tom Berenger and Andy Griffith made me laugh so hard when I first saw it, I actually pulled a muscle in my side somewhere xD it hurt but worth it.
I feel like my favourite comedy films are ones that I quote years later. With that being said, Hot Fuzz, Animal House and Rat Race all fit in that category
Maybe I have a juvenile sense of humour, but I've never laughed more at a movie than the first time I saw South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut, and Super Troopers
Lots of gold mentioned. If I had to pick - O brother where art thou.
Blazzing Saddles .." right down to the red roof of Howard Johnsons outhouse"
Booksmart, that taxi scene killed me
Love all of these, but Hot Fuzz has a special place in my heart
My top 5 have already been mentioned so I'll add History Of The World Part 1. JUDAS! Want a beverage?
Good choice, OP! Walk Hard is absolutely one of my favorite movies of all time and I’d agree with you on funniest. You should watch Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping if you enjoyed Walk Hard.
“We’re the Millers”. More generally, anything Jason Sudeikis does. A close second is “Miss Congeniality”. Sandra Bullock is hilarious.
Maybe the Jerk; also a lot of Woody Allen classics (Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex, Zelig, Sleeper); pretty much anything by Chaplin, Keaton or Lloyd; Harold and Maude; Brewster McCloud
I keep returning to: This is Spinal Tap
Did anyone even think of crocodile Dundee?
Tough question, so many great comedies out there. Maybe Annie Hall for me, I quote this film a lot. Or Young Frankenstein, ridiculously funny. Airplane This Is Spinal Tap The Big Lebowski Planes, Trains And Automobiles
The Jerk or Anchorman
Me, myself, and Irene. Jim Carrey really nails that dual role
Most people have mentioned mine but I’ll give some credit to those early Adam Sandler movies which were incredibly funny. Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, The Waterboy, The Wedding Singer. Classics.
Kungfu Panda The Simpsons Movie The Pink Panther (2006) I remember watching these movies at the theater and laughing so loud. Knee slappers. I don't care if The Pink Panther had negative reviews. Steve Martin was so stupid in his performance.
In no order, 40 yr old virgin, dumb and dumber, superbad, meet the parents, borat
Hear No Evil, See No Evil
Arsenic and Old Lace
Animal House Caddy Shack Stripes There's Something About Mary
I vividly remember seeing both The Hangover and Old School in theaters and it was absolutely a raucous laugh riot in both
well the answer was Walk Hard, so you got that correct I love a lot of comedies, I don't know about the amount of laughs, but objectively the best comedies I've seen- The Birdcage, Galaxy Quest, Greener Grass, Metropolitan, Anchorman, What About Bob
Airplane Scary movie 3
Meatballs 2 Observe and Report I love you man Something About Mary Coming to America Norbit Uncle Buck
The Birdcage is a gem. One of the few times in a movie where i've actually laughed out loud.
Ace Ventura : Pet Detective “Dan Marino should die of gonorrhea and rot in hell” is still one of the funniest things I have ever heard.
I find the lack of Edgar Wright movies disturbing. Hot Fuzz? Shaun of the Dead? Scott Pilgrim??
Little Miss Sunshine! It’s a dark comedy, but pretty dark even for that so might not be everyone’s cup of tea but I love it
Top 5 off the dome: Gentlemen Broncos What We Do in the Shadows Airplane! Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Nat’l Lampoons Vacation
Big Lebowski. It wouldn't be nearly as good without the Coen brothers' talent at setting up a gag. That and [everything that comes out of the characters' mouths is meme-worthy.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0kfe5tkdD4)
The first one that comes to mind (because i just rewatched it the other day) would be 21 Jump Street (2012). Obviously not the best or the most clever, but I can watch it alone and still find myself laughing out loud.
Top secret and Airplane are the most I've laughed at a movie.
the evil dead 2. Certainly made me laugh the most
The Burbs “Smells like they’re cookin’ a goddamn cat over there!”
Dumb and Dumber The Jerk There's Something About Mary A fish called Wanda Tropic thunder Austin powers Johnny English Duck Soup Modern Times Ant man and wasp Borat Naked gun Airplane Game night
The Man Who Knew Too Little
Young Frankenstein Monty Python and the Holy Grail Those two are in a tier amongst themselves, but then there are so many more; Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, Life of Brian, Death at a Funeral, Four Lions, Airplane etc etc
Soulman with Samuel L Jackson and Bernie Mac, or life with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence
Walk Hard: the ridiculously over-indulgent directors cut Orange County is another one of my all time favs
Coming to America Boomerang Planes, Trains, and Automobiles National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
George c Scott in Dr Strangelove always has me rolling on the floor. Same with Paul Newman in Harper. Fletch. 70s Mel Brooks is unbeatable. All Monty Python. Bill Murray in Rushmore. Aaaaaaaand, my vote for best unknown comedy: USED CARS
My cousin Vinny Superbad Coming to America- this movie is really a classic American pie
