What are comedy movies make you laugh no matter how many times you see them? For me it was Coming to America. Here are my two favorite scenes.
MAYBE NSFW FOR LANGUAGE

"Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle" - but I'm sure you all know that.

"Miss March" - don't watch the trailer...watch the movie! The trailer doesn't do it justice, and can be a spoiler of sorts to some funny parts.

"Employee Of The Month" - The one with Dane Cook. 'Where'd you get those stocking?...."

"Borat" - still funny

Very enjoyable, but not necessarily 'bust-a-gut'; Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Better Off Dead, BASEketball, Beerfest, Forrest Gump, Harold And Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay

Superbad, Old School and The Hangover are some really funny recent movies. I will always get suckered into watching if they are on TV.

HanoiBoi · « **Reply #6 on:** March 19, 2010, 10:21:46 am »

+1 on Superbad. Tuck it in the waist band.

LLUncoolJ · « **Reply #7 on:** March 19, 2010, 10:26:58 am »

I could watch 40 Year Old Virgin once a week if I had the time. But here are a few others that make the grade:

Caddy Shack, Ferris Bueller, Animal House, The Jerk, Anchorman, Beerfest, Fast Times @ Ridgemont High, most of the National Lampoon Vacation series, Clerks, most of the Judd Apatow movies, altough I don't know if they'll stand up over time.

I quit enjoy "Just Friends".

Vacation and Christmas Vacation can't be left off the list either.

I don't know why, but it always bugs me when people leave off the "National Lampoon's" at the beginning.

It always bugs me to have to type or say the long version. It's not like the movies are remakes.

Which reminds me, anyone seen Walt Disney Presents Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland? I loved it.

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #15 on:** March 19, 2010, 09:48:40 pm »

Saying Christmas Vacation (and European Vacation, Vegas Vacation) is fine, but National Lampoon's Vacation just being called "Vacation" -- I wouldn't even know what movie someone was talking about in casual conversation if that's all they said.

Oh, and that's
Walt Disney Presents Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland in Breathtaking Disney 3D starring Johnny Depp and a Bunch of Other People

Schindler's List

You are one sick puppy

I forgot about 'Life of Brian'. Office Space i've only just discovered. Watched it twice in two weeks, but haven't seen it enough times to say i'll always find it funny. I hope so, because it really struck a chord with me, even though i've hardly ever worked in an office...

shmokes · « **Reply #23 on:** March 21, 2010, 12:57:40 am »

I wouldn't put Life of Brian on the list. I wouldn't put any Monty Python on the list. Even their best, of which Life of Brian definitely is one, make you suffer through non-stop rapid-fire utterly unfunny joke after joke. Then they hit you with something gut-busting that has you in tears. But then it's back to misfire after misfire after misfire for twenty minutes till the next bout of hilarity.

Idiocracy trailer: (Warning, due to foul language and sexual suggestions, this one is not for the kids.)

National Lampoon's Black Ball (no ones ever heard of it)
Half Baked, now the movie as a whole is just alright, but one of the first scenes is EPIC, right as hes feeding the horse....best dialog EV4R

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

A very underrated movie from the Apatow group, or at least some of them. Ranks right up there with Superbad for me, great movie.

Yeah, some of the stuff listed has me scratching my head.

Oh yeah . . . Harold and Maud! Not only one of the great comedies, but probably a top 10 all-time greatest romances in the history of cinema.

no, not really. i made that up

Office Space +1
Dumb and Dumber
South Park the Movie (very serious at the same time)
Borat (even more serious at the same time)
Holy Grail
True Lies (not only comedy, but best in every genre)

I only like three things Apatow was associated with:
1) Freaks and Geeks (greatest show ever)
2) Undeclared
3) Heavyweights

My wife and I *WALKED OUT* of the 40 Year Old Virgin, btw.

I tried watching Freaks and Geeks, and wanted really hard to like it, but it just wasn't all that great.

Better TV shows in my opinion:
The Wire (the real greatest show ever)
Firefly
24 (season 1, when it was original)
Dexter
Cosby Show
Seinfeld

And if you want teenage centered drama, Friday Night Lights first season is better than all of Freaks and Geeks.

Step Brothers
Tommy Boy

are the only ones that I can think of that haven't been mentioned to these other CLASSICS

Agree to disagree. Obviously "greatest show ever" was a bit of a stretch on my part, but it's an awesome series that died too early a death. Great writing, both dramatic and comedic. Most of the cast has gone on to do some great work, but none as great as what they did in those 18 episodes.

patrickl · « **Reply #39 on:** March 23, 2010, 04:21:34 pm »

I like the TV show "The Big Bang Theory" and a recent comedy movie would be "The Hangover".

Some oldies I like are LA Story and the Holy Grail (more so than Life of Brian even), but I'll admit they are not to everyone's taste.
