The Funniest Movie Ever

I’ll challenge that. Comedy is an art, not a science, and the quality of the joke is far more important than the quality. I thoroughly enjoy Airplane, but would not rate it as the funniest.

@LuFins-Dad I'll sort of agree with you.
I think the metric used in that post is the number of jokes in the movie. Quantity ≠ Quality.
For pure slapstick, Airplane is the best.
For pure offensive humor: Blazing Saddles tied with The Producers
For pure parody humor: Young Frankenstein. -

Superbad, Anchorman and maybe Napoleon Dynamite make the Top 25?
