Hilarious. Fred Willard, Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, et al.
Mine too.
Also funny, from around that same time (1965): "A Thousand Clowns," with Jason Robards.
Preferred "Best in Show": "Let's go honky tonkin down in WEEZIANA!"
One of my favorite movies is “The Full Monty”. Every time I see it I discover new things to laugh at, especially after I got the British DVD with “English (American) subtitles. They didn’t think Americans would get some of the local Sheffield slang, so they Americanized it in the version that was shown in America and on TV here. Subtle differences, but worth the cost of the DVD.
I liked “Clerks 2” better. This is the best scene in the whole film where Randal rips on the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy: (warning: NSFW !)

Filmed at roughly the same period as “The Party”, I just saw the Jacques Tati film “Playtime” last night for the first time. A remarkable film if you ever get a chance to see it. Tati went bankrupt financing it with his own money (something you never do) and many consider it one of the best films ever made.
IMO, “Porky’s” has the single funniest scene in film history, and you know what I’m talking about... (probably NSFW)

I don’t know how Nancy Parsons (as Beulah Balbricker) could get through that scene without completely losing it.
I loved “Guffman”, “Best in Show” was pretty good (but not as good as Guffman), “A Mighty Wind” was amusing, too, but “For Your Consideration” just plain sucked. A lot of Guest fans were really let down by that one. I was rather hoping seeing that he has some SCTV alums in his acting troupe that he might do an SCTV-themed film (and no, not “Strange Brew 2: Molson Boogaloo”). I really miss that show... (of course, without John Candy, it might be hard to do — especially the “Farm Film Celebrity Blow-Up”).
Candy, Joe Flaherty and a VERY fey Eugene Levy as Neil Sedaka is hillarious:

Blazing Saddles, Airplane, Friday, and the Holy Grail
ROTFL, tears leaked from my eyes when that guy puked.
And I wasn’t even in a laughing mindset for the Porky’s clip but the end was priceless.
Yeah, the dude upchucking came right out of the blue, it was like, “WTF ?!?” Randal always had the best lines in the film.
I liked the close-up on Ike’s portrait in “Porky’s”. I wondered if they altered the photo to make him look like he was smiling more than he should’ve been, but it was a nice touch, regardless.
Can’t believe nobody mentioned “What About Bob?” yet.
History of the World Part I
It’s making the rounds of the movie channels right now.
BBC comedy “Are you Being Served?”
“Fatso” with Dom Deluise and Ann Bancroft.
One great Grant classic deserves another...
Bringing Up Baby with Grant and Hepburn, among others :)
And for Halloween, now that I think of it...
I Married a Witch with March and Lake.
In my book, you have to add the Bowery Boys to the list. Leo Gorcey was hilarious.
Curly Howard ranks up there with the top comedians of all time, in my opinion. He never got his due.
I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard as I did when watching the donkey scene in Clerks 2.
Pulp Fiction had me cracking up in certain parts.
Wonder Boys- there was just something funny about Michael Douglas’ character.
I was always a fan of the Cannonball Run movies and even It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. I guess something about a cast of carcrash crazies chasing after a prize just cracks me up.
Something about Mary
Finding Nemo
History of the World Part I
Corsican Brothers... just the line “Come back! You forgot to whip me!”
