What is the greatest comedy of all-time?

[PurplePride92]

I agree about The Hangover. Never seen That's my Boy though. Heard it was terrible.

 

 

I loved That's My Boy.

Hollywood Shuffle is one of the funniest movies I have ever watched...

Here is a link that has a R-Rating.Do not watch if you are offended by explicit language.:thumb:

"Wedding Crashers", "Blazing Saddles", and "Caddyshack" are my top 3. "Fletch" and "Tommy Boy" would be also receiving votes.

 

Slim Pickens' role in "Blazing Saddles" alone is enough to put it in any top five. It's just unbelievable.

 

Any top five that's missing "Blazing Saddles" and "Caddyshack" is seriously lacking.

^ It shouldn't be that funny but to this day nothing makes me laugh harder than when the overseers are dancing to Camptown Ladies and Pickens rides in and says:

 

"What in the Wide World of Sports is a-going on here? I hired you people to get a little track laid, not to jump around like a bunch of Kansas City fill in the blanks"

 

That line has so many levels... if I could write comedy like that... it's so, so good.

Some off the top of my head:

 

 

Just about any of the Marx Brothers classics (A Day at the Races, A Night at the Opera and especially Duck Soup)

Young Frankenstein

Blazing Saddles

Caddyshack

Stripes - until it fizzled out when they got to Europe

What About Bob

Bad Santa

Office Space

most of the Peter Sellers Pink Panther movies

Diner

 

and probably my personal favorites - Raising Arizona, Napoleon Dynamite, Animal House, Dr. Strangelove, Monty Python and the Holy Grail

[sportsfan41]

Actually now that I think about it 21 Jump Street was pretty darn funny and I did not see that coming.

 

Also one of my favorite and possibly favorite is Team America.

[Cats3x]

Funniest I ever saw was the Hangover but only the first time. After that it doesn't have the staying power for me of the other great comedies.

Subtract the year of release from 2013, add 25 years to that number, and you have the age of the poster calling it a favorite.

I am 56-years-old.

[Voice of Reason]

I am surprised no one has mentioned Vacation yet.

 

A couple not mentioned that I have watched numerous times and would still enjoy if I had to watch again - Summer Rental with John Candy and The Mask with Jim Carrey.

[halfback20]

Billy Madison, Super Troopers, Caddyshack, wedding crashes, the hangover,...

[Mack The Knife]

Some Like It Hot

Duck Soup

Love And Death

City Lights

The Awful Truth

The Lady Eve

[Jim Schue]

The correct answer has always been Blazing Saddles.

 

"Another schnitzel?"

"Baby please, I am not from Havana!"

 

"See this hand?"

"Steady as a rock."

"Yeah, but I shoot with this hand."

 

"Well, raise my rent, you are The Kid."

 

"I'm becoming an overnight sensation in this town."

 

"Are we awake?"

"We're not sure. Are we ... black?"

"Yes, we are."

"Then we're awake, but we're very puzzled."

 

I can do this all night. And that's just the safe-for-BGP lines.

This is actually fairly easy for me, The Big Lebowski.

[Guest Birdflu]

Animal House and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
