[George K]

Never seen:

• 22 Jump Street
• Superbad
• Dazed and Confused

Mildly Amusing

Hysterical:

• Duck Soup
• Dr. Strangelove

In a class to themselves

• Blazing Saddles
• Young Frankenstein
• The Holy Grail

[Horace]

Of those I saw as an adult, Anchorman was funniest to me. Holy Grail isn't measurable because it was my first exposure to good comedy, and it killed me.

[LuFins Dad]

This list goes down as number 48 of the all time most mediocre and forgettable lists.

[Jolly]

Sourpuss.

George...Shrek, The Hangover and Hot Fuzz are all worth your time. If you like Brit comedy, que up Hot Fuzz first... It's currently on Prime...

Worth your time ≠ one of the funniest movies of all time. There are even a few of my favorites on the list but they don’t even fall within the top 200 funniest movies. Heck, if you’re looking at funniest, Shrek 2 is funnier than the first. But it’s still not as good and neither are in the top 100.

[Horace]

Of recent-ish movies, I'm fond of Deadpool and MacGruber.

[Doctor Phibes]

Office Space is a little excruciating to watch. My former boss shared so many mannerisms with the odious Lumbergh that a few of us have seriously wondered whether the writers had worked with him.

Ok, give me your list...

Nice start. I was planning on adding Pink Panther, It’s a Mad… (the reboot they did with Rowan Atkinson was excellent, too), and The Jerk. Naked Gun as well…I would also add History of the World Part 1 (Mel’s most underrated movie)

[George K]

What? There's a reboot of "Mad...."? That's one of Mrs. George's favorite movies.

Not really a reboot, just a movie that took the same basic plot. Rat Race… Bad reviews, mediocre box office, but I laughed my ass off.

I would also put National Lampoon’s Vacation, Dazed and Confused, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High on the list.

[Doctor Phibes]

The Fisher King
Fargo
Brazil
The Guard (an Irish movie which I thought was hilarious)
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

The Fisher King

LOVE that movie! But I never saw it as a real comedy.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Now that's a serious omission by whatever twat made that list. One of the best.

I also noticed there isn't a single Woody Allen movie on there.

I haven't seen a lot of his movies, but the ones I have see, I have liked. I especially liked "Midnight in Paris" (Not really a comedy however)

I doubt that Woody Allen was a bigger asshole than Peter Sellers, who is included in the list, and rightly so. Probably not enough, in fact.
