Special mention for the Hangover which made me laugh on a first viewing more than any movie I can remember, but I need to see how it holds up to multiple viewings before ranking it

<------- Sweet Justice

>Forgetting Sarah Marshall - probably not a popular choice but

low expectations for this one but easily eclipsed Superbad and Knocked Up.

The first time I watched it I was kinda unimpressed. The second time I wondered how on earth I didn't like it the first time. After watching it a third time it was one of the first movies that popped inot my head when I saw this thread.

It had it's moments but falls short in comparison to 40YOV, KU, and Superbad.

don't get me started on all the ways that movie fails.

is more consistent, and has higher replay value and a better story. Knocked Up may be the funniest Apatow-related movie yet.

Knocked Up's story is patently ridiculous and it runs far too long with multiple dead moments of unfunny

Great but lost points due to unnecessary sequels:
Friday
Meet the Parents
Austin Powers

i have a thing about comedy sequels, in that i don't think they should exist. there's nothing worse than a recycled gag that tries to recapture the magic of the original. meet the fockers is clearly the most painful example.

Only really funny the first time around:
American Pie
Borat

because they just found better ways to pull them off and they had new characters that were hilarious. but then the gags became clearly worse with 3.

between funny and lame. they'd do something funny then throw in a "do i make you horny" or some shit from the first one. I only saw it once and that's when it was released. never had much desire to check it again or to see the third one.

I guess this is all in order, could probably switch around 2-4 in any order:

Lebowski
Billy Madison
Super Troopers
Anchorman
Tenenbaums
Team America
Rushmore
Wayne's World
Wet Hot American Summer
Jackass 2 (why not?)




Honorable mention:

Austin Powers 2 (just didn't make the cut)
Borat (doesn't have as much replay value for me as everyone else, still hilarious though)
Office Space (see Borat)
The Hangover (too soon on this one)
Hot Rod (slept on just cause they didn't get Ferrell to play the lead)
Superbad (less funny in the second half/romantic comedy ending)
Tommy Boy (not as good at being funny with BARELY a plot as Madison was)
Happy Gilmore (see Tommy Boy)
Old School (see Borat)
Napoleon Dynamite (i liked it, I can see why others hated it, but you can't make top 10 off of quirkiness alone)


there's still a few movies i haven't seen that everyone has (at a certain point it becomes too late) or have completely forgotten since i saw them as a kid.

I watch this movie everytime it is on
------------------------------
<------- Sweet Justice

that's my favorite Danny McBride role (have yet to see Eastbound and Down)

those are the ones i remember seeing for the first time + just laughing hysterically nonstop

after that it's a crapshoot, prolly 90% of the movies named in this + the OG thread are ones that i sincerely love so it's hard to narrow down. those top 3 stand apart tho.

if i HAD to go top 5 i'd prolly tack on 40 y/o virgin + borat.

the same sense of humor as you. when other people are arguing this topic it's along the lines of surprise ("you left out movie a???") or just general disagreement ("see, i think that was overrated" or "I thought movie b was better" or "I didn't get the big deal about that movie"), whereas you're more along the lines of "sense of humor is UNIVERSAL and therefore you are all p*ssies and tools for not picking the movies that I like."

but don't worry, you totally make sense and didn't jump the gun at all by assuming the other post was a wes anderson lovefest (despite the fact that only one person at the time had mentioned rushmore... the same person who had mentioned friday).

No, you all are just so predictable and lame.

I mean, seriously -- I got a nigga in that other post
trying to tell me that a discussion about how blowing up
the 2nd Death Star was an act of terrorism is "not obscure."

LOL. EVEN IF YOU LIKE IT, it *is* obscure. But son sonny

This is what I'm saying. Y'all just refuse to think for

No, but the love for all the Royal Tennenbaumsy shit,

as opposed to the millions of people who go to see the crappy parodies that everyone associated with scary movie puts out and thinks they're all hilarious and original (for the record, haven't gotten around to seeing scary movie or friday. it's probably like them, just haven't gotten around to them).

i mean really, they're gonna make a parody of parodies

yes, i know what you're going for as far as mad-making goes. it's good stuff.

but in all seriousness, with a lot of those "quirky" comedies people either love them or hate them. you could say the same about comedies in general i guess, but i was reading something recently about how polarizing movies like napoleon dynamite and wes anderson films are and how impossible it is to predict if someone likes them based on what they previously liked which is the only movie category that's really true of). that's off-topic, but the point is people either love them with a passion or hate them with a passion (and everyone expresses their opinion either way), so i don't really buy people following the crowd on their opinion on movies like that. i buy that for frat pack type movies, but not the "quirky" comedies.

i disliked clerks and lost in translation, a lot of people i know loved those. and people whose opinion on movies i usually listen to. i wanted to like those movies, but i couldn't. so usually i just say "i didn't see the big deal" and then move on.

Hi.

That is one of the most overblow movies ever.

I'm literally sitting there waiting for something
interesting and funny to happen, and then the movie
ended.

I'm like 'Uh, wtf'

>as opposed to the millions of people who go to see the crappy

The reason why you have a million parody films is
specifically BECAUSE Scary Movie was funny and made
tons of money.

People bit off it.

It was a HUGE risk and it was a slam dunk

and here's the original article about the "quirky" movie thing:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/23/magazine/23Netflix-t.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all



here's the important part:

Bertoni says it’s partly because of “Napoleon Dynamite,” an indie comedy from 2004 that achieved cult status and went on to become extremely popular on Netflix. It is, Bertoni and others have discovered, maddeningly hard to determine how much people will like it. When Bertoni runs his algorithms on regular hits like “Lethal Weapon” or “Miss Congeniality” and tries to predict how any given Netflix user will rate them, he’s usually within eight-tenths of a star. But with films like “Napoleon Dynamite,” he’s off by an average of 1.2 stars.

The reason, Bertoni says, is that “Napoleon Dynamite” is very weird and very polarizing. It contains a lot of arch, ironic humor, including a famously kooky dance performed by the titular teenage character to help his hapless friend win a student-council election. It’s the type of quirky entertainment that tends to be either loved or despised. The movie has been rated more than two million times in the Netflix database, and the ratings are disproportionately one or five stars.

Worse, close friends who normally share similar film aesthetics often heatedly disagree about whether “Napoleon Dynamite” is a masterpiece or an annoying bit of hipster self-indulgence. When Bertoni saw the movie himself with a group of friends, they argued for hours over it. “Half of them loved it, and half of them hated it,” he told me. “And they couldn’t really say why. It’s just a difficult movie.”

Mathematically speaking, “Napoleon Dynamite” is a very significant problem for the Netflix Prize. Amazingly, Bertoni has deduced that this single movie is causing 15 percent of his remaining error rate; or to put it another way, if Bertoni could anticipate whether you’d like “Napoleon Dynamite” as accurately as he can for other movies, this feat alone would bring him 15 percent of the way to winning the $1 million prize. And while “Napoleon Dynamite” is the worst culprit, it isn’t the only troublemaker. A small subset of other titles have caused almost as much bedevilment among the Netflix Prize competitors. When Bertoni showed me a list of his 25 most-difficult-to-predict movies, I noticed they were all similar in some way to “Napoleon Dynamite” — culturally or politically polarizing and hard to classify, including “I Heart Huckabees,” “Lost in Translation,” “Fahrenheit 9/11,” “The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou,” “Kill Bill: Volume 1” and “Sideways.”

I like Clerks, but it's not in my top 10. I wouldn't have disagreed if you said it was terribly shot or unevenly acted.

that shit DEF should have been on there

although it is one of my favorites it wasn't just a "regular comedy", it was more of an action-comedy, sort of like Rush Hour. Sort of. Or like the Wood is a comedy-drama.

I'm seeing is NOT funnier than 'White Chicks'.

Nope, sorry, FOH

Y'all just insecure.

'White Chicks' = excellent and introspective

If it were remotely high brow, it would extrospection by it's premise alone, but now I'm intrigued.

Feel free to use as much paper and time as you'd like.

if not, buy a damn dictionary or get a new hobby.

>If it were remotely high brow, it would extrospection by it's
>premise alone, but now I'm intrigued.

Actually, you're wrong:

If the unit of analysis is "race relations," than what
'White Chicks' attempts(and succeeds in) is "introspection."

By reversing the minstrel tradition, it makes us, as an
American people, take a look at ourselves, our race
relations, how we depict each other, what those depictions
mean, etc.

The truth is, the depiction of two black men as white
women REFLEXIVELY qualifies as a slapstick film, which
highlights how awful the minstrel tradition was: depictions
in the other direction were par for the course.

The great thing about 'White Chicks' is that it makes
the point by showing us HOW bad the minstrel tradition
was, by playing with our sense of humor, it plays a TRICK on
us, plays games with our sense of humor and appropriateness in
regards to race and stereotype.

The Wayans Bros, for example, were more successful in
this than Spike Lee was with 'Bamboozled'.

Brilliant, actually.

>Feel free to use as much paper and time as you'd like.

>if not, buy a damn dictionary or get a new hobby.

No because my walking lexicon is larger than yours, and
you know that.

Sad, really

One of the dumbest movies of the last two decades. Shawn and Marlon haven't made a decent movie together since 2000.

_________________________________________

Oddly enough, I remember first seeing the preview in the theatres and being like, "that shit looks horrible". Mind you, I was and for the most part still am a supporter of Happy Madison Productions. I just could not see myself going to see that movie. Once it was released on DVD, I found myself in Blockbuster, bored, and figured I'd give it a shot. Man, that movie is a fucking classic to me.... I was SOOOOOOOOOOO wrong about it. It is damn near in my top 5 comedies of my lifetime, personal opinion of course. And considering there was no true BIG NAME star in it, including no Sandler cameo which he was generally known for at this time in HM films, spoke volumes about the strength of the writing and performances.

SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT'S WEAK!
