What is the funniest movie you've ever seen?

[Whiteside]

The film that made me laugh the most was the South Park movie which I saw at the cinema. It doesn't do as well on multiple viewings like other comedies e.g. Anchorman, but damn the initial shock value of the gags had me in stiches the whole way through.

 

[Aurongel]

Hot Fuzz. It's like a comedic neutron star with how dense and layered much of its gags are.

 

[folve]

Don't think it's a common choice, but What we do in the shadows had me laughing my ass off since the first few lines. Just hit the perfect spot for me.

Good one! "We're werewolves,.."

 

[HylianTom]

History of the World, Part 1

It is iconic. And so incredibly quotable.

 

[One Eyed Willy]

Nothing comes remotely close to either Borat or Team America World Police. Every other "comedy" is literally just scripted laugh tracks at best. These 2 movies had me almost pissing myself, even today.

 

[Didyme]

There's Something About Mary.

 

[David]

Dodgeball

A comedy masterpiece which can't be done today.

 

[Lucky241]

Dirty Grampa

Constant laughs the whole movie.

 

[Rassilon]

Withnail and I remains my favourite comedy and still makes me laugh.

 

[Deleted member 11018]

Snatch

Yuuup, same one, Snatch.
(the french dub was ab-so-lute-ly fantastic)
I love dogs.

 

[Bill S. Preston Esq.]

Dumb and Dumber. I literally nearly pissed myself in the cinema.

 

[Snack12367]

Holy Grail had me rolling on the floor. Testament to the film that it still gets a laugh out of me after all these years.

 

[Deleted member 8468]

There's been a ton of my favorites already listed here, so I'll add Superbad. The first time I saw the dick drawing scene I fucking lost it.

"You know what kinds of foods are shaped like dicks?? The best kind!!"

 

[MRYEAH]

Walk Hard The Dewey Cox story
Espicially the unrated overly long edition
The Disco era kills me
F-U Patrick Duffy has me rolling every time
Most underrated comedy of the decade

 

[Taurus Silver]

Great choice. I remember seeing this for the first time and being in tears during 90% of it.

There we are. After that, This Is Spinal Tap and The Big Lebowski for me.

 

[BroDudeGuy]

I'd have to go with Dumb and Dumber. I can rewatch that until the end of time.

 

[Gundam]

Step Brothers
Borat
Nacho Libre

 

[NealMcCauley]

It might be Macgruber for me. The scene above is one of the best in the movie. Thing is, there are like 5 or 6 scenes that are as good as or better than it. I'll never think of KFBR392 the same way again.

That cut at 2:25 may be one of the funniest scene transitions ever.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Le Dîner de Cons
The Naked Gun
Team America: World Police
Troll 2

 

[CoyoteSpitfire]

Monty Python and the Holy Grail, easily. Probably followed by Shaun of the Dead.

 

[Assisted Living Dracula]

Jackass: The Movie. Went to a midnight screening, so I was already tired. By the end I had laughed myself to the point of exhaustion, almost had to be carried out.

For traditional comedies, it's a toss-up between Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles.

 

[MrLuchador]

Borat
Wedding Crashers
Tropic Thunder
Dodgeball
Team America

Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and Life of Brian destroyed me too, but never saw them at the cinema.

All slayed me at the cinema.

 

[Luna V.]

Four Lions
Hausu
Hot Fuzz
Wet Hot American Summer

 

[Galleren]

Friday
Don't be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood
Ace Ventura
Role Models
Blazing Saddles

 

[Fubar]

Probably Superbad or Tucker and Dale vs Evil. The former is one of my all time favorites, the latter seriously fucked me up with the woodchipper scene. It caught me so off guard and I legitimately had to pause the movie because five minutes later I was still laughing and missing everything. I laughed a few other times throughout but that one scene got me better than any other movie ever.

 

[cloudzack117]

Animal House, Hot Rod, Ted/Ted 2, and A Million Ways to Die in the West.

Pretty much any scene in Animal House that has john Belushi in it is great. The horse prank, food fight("I'm a zit!") and the "Pearl Harbor" speech at the end. But my favorite scene is the part where they go to the female college and pretend to have been dating a girl who had died to hook up with her roomates. That's the funniest thing I've ever seen in a movie, and it makes me sad that given how advanced we are today from back then that I'll never be able to pull that move off.

I think there was a big thread on gaf not too long ago talking about hot rod. That's one of those movies where all the best lines just come out of nowhere. Best scene is samberg dancing in the woods.

I guess I'm the only mcfarlene fan here, I love his humor but I can see where it's not for everyone

 

[DrROBschiz]

Dodgeball

A comedy masterpiece which can't be done today.

Same here

That movie just kills me everytime

A modern comedy classic

 

[DrForester]

Top 5 in no particular order...

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
Blazing Saddles
Coming to America
Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie
Clue

 

[Hecht]

Blazing Saddles
Clue
Dumb and Dumber

Probably others but these three are definitely some of the funniest films ever created

EDIT: oh man, below. Yeah, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang is incredible.

 

[GameShrink]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang for me. Something about the pure concept of a comedic murder mystery just ticks the right boxes.

The pissing scene and throwing the gun in the lake are unparalleled comedy.

 

[Karish]

I cried at Girls Trip earliest this year.

 

[radioactivez0r]

The Whole Nine Yards. I love the timing and the way everyone plays off each other.

Men in Tights is probably up there too

 

[PSqueak]

Really hard to pick one, but my placeholder answer will be for now 22 Jump Street.

Really loved the meta humor on that one.

 

[Starfighter]

Slim Susie and Napoleon Dynamite.
