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

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.

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.

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.
