Tommy Boy
Black Sheep
Cable Guy
Super Troopers

:tu:

Hmm... tough one, because I love so many...

PCU
Mallrats
Princess Bride
Airplane!
Office Space

:D

These are in no particular order, and I'm omitting about 100 comedies I would place in my "top 5" :D

This is Spinal Tap
Bottle Rocket
Swingers
A Night At the Roxbury (no, I'm not kidding)
Freeway

No particular order either, plus I might be forgetting movies.

1. Night at The Roxbury(I can vouch for there John)
2. Mafia
3. Don't Be a Menace to Society While Drinking Juice In The Hood
4. Office Space
5. Scary Movie 1 or 2(Wayans Brothers are one of the best writers)

Dumb & Dumber
Big Lebowski
Super Troopers
Clerks
South Park movie

Ahh! Big Lebowski. How could I forget that!? :nod:

Ahh! Big Lebowski. How could I forget that!? :nod:
I thought the exact same thing when I read James' list. I could easily make my top five all Cohen bros. movies... I need a top 50 at least. :)

The only one I can remember from the top of my head that I think is great is...

O Brother, Where Art Thou?

...and that's because I just watched it again yesterday

There must be something wrong with my memory or something :D

Seriously though, great movie! Those who haven't seen it: GO SEE IT! NOW! ;)

Old School
Super troopers
Office Space
Brain Candy - Cast of Kids in the hall
Big Lebowski - truely awesome

this is the best I can do with a quick look at it. I'd put Undercover borther up there but it just gets edged out by super troopers. How could people be leaving out Old school?

Ooh, so many to chooose from ..

Heathers (wicked dark comedy) :tucool:
Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion
Reality Bites
Night at The Roxbury (cool soundtrack too)
Naked Gun

Looks like I have to check out Night at the Roxbury. And I have to throw a vote at Swingers, because it's so money and it doesn't even know it. Haven't seen it for so long though cause every time I think to pick up the DVD it's like 30 bucks!

How about these classics:

Coming to America (it's got Eric LaSalle!)
Big trouble in Little China (Jack Burton, one of the best characters of all time :D )

1. Office Space
2. Best in Show
3. Freeway
4. Cannibal: the Musical
5. The Birdcage

And I have to throw a vote at Swingers, because it's so money and it doesn't even know it. Haven't seen it for so long though cause every time I think to pick up the DVD it's like 30 bucks!

hey, check out http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemID=BVD027904 they have the special edition of Swingers for 9 bucks, no tax, and free shipping! :claphigh:

Spaceballs
Uncle Buck
Planes, Trains & automobiles

One I can't recall the name of: the cover had a cow in combat boots and it starred "Iceman" from Top Gun..(dammit, whats his name?!)

Top Secret with Val Kilmer ;)
that one was pretty good too, totally forgot about that.

Yeah! Thats it. Thanks.

Dumb & Dumber
Very Bad Things
Office Space
Shindlers List
There's Something about Mary.

Shindler's List?

Oops. Did I say Shindlers List? I meant Space Balls! :D

Shindler's List?

I can't believe I forgot about "The Three Amigos" and the various Monty Python flicks. I'm a sucker for goofy hijinx.

1. Office Space
2. There's Something About Mary
3. American Pie
4. Old School
5. Next Friday

Anyone that has ever slaved away in a cubical can truely appreciate "Office Space." :tu:

I can't believe I forgot about "The Three Amigos" and the various Monty Python flicks. I'm a sucker for goofy hijinx.


Me too! Three Amigos is a favorite- and of course Monty Python movies... :D I don't think I can't fit my favorites into just 5 !

No Body likes Austin Powers :mad:

My List:

1.Austin Powers1
2.Austin Powers2
3.Waynes World
4.Me, Myself and Irene
5.Little Nicky (Rocks)

Duck Soup (The Marx Brothers)
Friends (are tv shows acceptable, of just movies?)
I Love Lucy (Classic tv at it's finest)
As Time Goes By (British Sit-com)
and...

Ummm...

Let you know the last one later! :confused:

For me:

Movies:

1. Pulp Fiction - maybe not a comedy per say, but so, so many one liners - it's still my #1
2. Army of Darkness - B grade, but gold
3. History of the World Part 1
4. Monty Python - Life of Brian
5. Shrek/Office Space (Can't decide)

TV:

1. Black Adder 3rd Series
2. Simpsons
3. Ali G

That's about all I got for the TV.

Comedians (a bit more for the mix):

1. Billy Connolly
2. Rohan Atkinson
3. Eddie Murphy

Here's mine, no specific order

1. Waterboy
2. Smokey and the Bandit
3. Austin Powers
4. Scary Movie
5. Cheech & Chong, Up In Smoke


Like everyone else, I agree there is way too many to make any list complete but these are some of my favorites

Having trouble thinking of five favorites (though I can think of plenty that I like). Here are three that would definitely be in my top five:

Bottle Rocket
The Jerk
God of Cookery

I cannot believe this thread has gone on this long without Blazing Saddles being mentioned. Mel Brooks is a comedic genius. :D

1. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
2. Office space
3. Trading Places
4. Moneypit
5. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
That being said I would also like to comment that "The Jerk" is a great pick. As far as B movies go you just can't beat "Army of Darkness" and "Big Trouble in Little China".

I thought about "Blazing Saddles" but I didn't want to offend :o

1. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation


Ahhh... Christmas vacation, how could I forget. That movie is awesome. I'm working on a new non-lucrative cereal varnish that locks the flavor in and keeps the mositure out. :D

Office Space
South Park Movie
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
Dumb And Dumber
Friday

Im forgetting ALOT though.

I cannot believe this thread has gone on this long without Blazing Saddles being mentioned. Mel Brooks is a comedic genius.

Oooo, good one. That would also be in my top five. I had forgotten about that movie. :)

great outdoors
ghostbusters
robins williams live (i think its HBO, never laughed so hard in all myh life- SEE IT!!!!)

Friday :nod:
Half Baked
Dead Man On Campus
Hot Shots
& O Brother Where Art Thou

I've watched O Brother 10-15 times.

What, no Jack Black Flicks??

Saving Silverman is hilarious!

hmm... I'm posting for two people (LiveWire too!) so if I go over 5, that's why!

Repeats from previous lists:
American Pie
Dumb and Dumber
Office Space
MallRats
Princess Bride
Top Secret (was my favorite as a teen! Loved Val Kimler!)

For some new ones:
Galaxy Quest (ok, we went to see this after a night of drinking, it was really funny then! Our kids like it!)
Daddy Day Care (another kid friendly one, but still really funny!)
A Fish Called Wanda

Ok, there is a few. I'm sure I'll think of more later!

OH! Thought of one more: STRANGE BREW - Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas, eh? :D

Happy Gilmore - "You're gonna die clown!!!"
Liar Liar... "I......... CCaaaaaaaan't LLLLLIiiieeeeee!!!!"
Pet Detective When Nature Calls "Wing-ed spawn of ssssaaattttttaaaaaaannnnnn!"
The Water Boy - "Girls are not the devil, football is not the devil..."
Spaceballs - "You didn't see that did you?", "No sir, I did not see you playing with your dolls again..."

I like over the top silly comedy... Specifically Adam Sandler and Jim Carey.

I thought the exact same thing when I read James' list. I could easily make my top five all Cohen bros. movies... I need a top 50 at least. :)

Just wait til you actually WORK in an office... then you'll view Office Space with a whole new level of appreciation.
