BBC Culture polled 253 film critics from 52 countries to determine the funniest films ever made.

Is “It’s a mad, mad, mad world” in the some where?

[Hot Tabasco]

These are comedies which should include comedy routines. Therefore, my choice is :

"Who's on First" by Abbott and Costello........The greatest comedy skit evah............

[Big Red Badger]

Abbott and Costello,,,
Born out of WWll.
Really great team.

[Fightin Whitey]

Um...that is what the video is about.

Go to post #161 and click on the highlighted words, Show You.

“Going the wrong way, huh...”How do they know where we’re goin’?”

[Cvengr]

Even Jaberwocky had its moments.

My son loved the movie with John Candy where they invade Canada (Canadian Bacon).

I like “See no Evil, Hear no Evil” with Richard Prior and Gene Wilder.

[Big Red Badger]

That’s Exactly what I Thought!
Brilliant Minds,,,

My data is running low,

Hope Your Having a Great Holiday!

[Fightin Whitey]

You too Big Red!

Have a great new year, and take care out there!

No mention of ‘White Chicks’

[LilFarmer]

“What About Bob” is one of my favorites, as is “Princess Bride”

[ek_hornbeck]

I'm also surprised that nobody mentioned Our Man in Havana. Alec Guiness passing off vacuum cleaner designs to his intelligence contacts as the ultimate weapon in the hands of the Cuban rebels still cracks me up.

[Albion Wilde]

Is “Singing in the Rain” even a comedy?

I know, right? I'd use the term "musical." But it's not my survey.

The uncut version is best with Gaylord Sartain begging money to fix the seats in his private plane.

He upstaged Steve Martin so bad the scene was cut.

I saw that scene on Youtube several years ago.

One Two Three is also great. I love machine gun dialog like it and His Girl Friday.

"Schlemmer you're back in the SS - Small Salary!"

[MayflowerMadam]

For us, “Office Space” is near the top. But maybe a person had to experience some years as a cube rat to really appreciate it.

[N. Theknow]

The Great Race with Tony Curtis, Jack Lemon, Natalie Wood, Peter Falk.

The pie fight was amazing!

[RightGeek]

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

[RightGeek]

And of course, Shaolin Soccer:

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Agreed
