Talladega Nights??? Seriously? No offense bro....taste is subjective...but dayum.
This was the best comedy I ever saw and the yardstick my entire family uses to rate comedies.
Your scene was a good one.
My problem is there were so many scenes that made me laugh so hard I nearly had a...a...a...accident...it's hard to single out the best!
Ten years ago I spent a week in a hospital after MAJOR cancer surgery. A couple nights before I was released, my wife brought me some movies I could watch. Mad World was one of them.
In retrospect, I think she wanted to kill me! I can't watch this movie without laughing until tears stream down my face. It says right here, that night I watched it my stitches, make that, staples and what were left of my stomach muscles were in tatters.
As much as the hospital staff knew I hurt, those poor nurses must have thought I was insane.
Mad World was...IS...the best!
Thanks. I’ll check it out.
Or, same movie in the chase scene when all those cars crash into that VW bus on the street side? Then the VW owner goes out to open his VW on the curb side and it falls into the street...flat!
Joey: Wait a minute. I know you. You’re Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. You play basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Roger Murdock: I’m sorry son, but you must have me confused with someone else. My name is Roger Murdock. I’m the co-pilot.
Joey: You are Kareem! I’ve seen you play. My dad’s got season tickets.
Roger Murdock: I think you should go back to your seat now Joey. Right Clarence?
Captain Oveur: Nahhhhhh, he’s not bothering anyone, let him stay here.
Roger Murdock: But just remember, my name is... [showing his nametag] ROGER MURDOCK. I’m an airline pilot.
Joey: I think you’re the greatest, but my dad says you don’t work hard enough on defense. [Kareem’s getting mad] And he says that lots of times, you don’t even run down court. And that you don’t really try... except during the playoffs.
Roger Murdock: [breaking character] The hell I don’t! LISTEN KID! I’ve been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I’m out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.
I love Hollywood Knights, still cracks me up,
“VOOOOOOOOOOOLARAY.........”
Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia
He was an English Guy
He came to fight the Turkish
“This sh*t is waaaay out of line.”
” I’ve had this taste in my mouth before.”
“It does have a little wang to it, good though.’
“Turk, come over here. Now he happens to be very hysterically funny. I put him right up there with Steve and Edie. He has more talent in his little pinkie than you have in your whole... pinky.”
I loved Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein and also Murder By Death.
Joey, do you like gladiator movies?......
Oh! And The Producers (The original, although the remake has started to grow on me).
It’s in my top 3 funniest of all time... so many great lines.
Cannot watch the remake, they gayed it up too much....Dick Shawn’s Hitler was much better.
But the movie was crawling with highlights.
I'd start by adding Blazing Saddles, Killer Tomatoes, Holy Grail, Silent Movie, Mad Mad Mad World, Sleeper, and of course, Airplane.
But you have to make room for the closing scene from Life of Brian, and the whole shoe thing, UHF, A Fish named Wanda and (does Repo Man count as comedy?)...
The last time I tried to do a top ten list I had to quit at about 103 because I ran out of space.
Glad to see another “The Party” fan - but, seriously, none of Peter Sellers’ “Pink Panther” movies, or “Being There” made the top 10 list?

Top Secret - Johnny Dangerously - Python’s Holy Grail - Idiocracy - Blazing Saddles....to name some of my top few.
Agree on Dumb and Dumber, A Fish Called Wanda, and MP & The Holy Grail, but why has no one mentioned “This is Spinal Tap”?
Big Jim McBob and Billy Sol Hurok!
One Two Three should be on the list, Cagney was a tour de force:
C.R. MacNamara: [voiceover] Some of the East German police were rude and suspicious. Others were suspicious and rude.
C.R. MacNamara: Schlemmer you’re back in the SS, small salary!
C.R. MacNamara: Cigarette? Cigar?
Peripetchikoff: Here, take one of these.
C.R. Macnamara: Thanks. Hm, ‘Made in Havana’.
Peripetchikoff: We have trade agreement with Cuba. They send us cigars, we send them rockets.
C.R. Macnamara: Good thinking.
C.R. MacNamara: You know something? You guys got cheated. This is a pretty crummy cigar.
Peripetchikoff: Do not worry. We send them pretty crummy rockets.
Borodenko: When will papers be ready?
C.R. Macnamara: I’ll put my secretary right to work on it.
Mishkin: Your secretary? She’s that blond lady?
C.R. Macnamara: That’s the one.
Peripetchikoff: [after conferring with the others] You will send papers to East Berlin with blond lady in triplicate.
C.R. Macnamara: You want the papers in triplicate, or the blond in triplicate?
Peripetchikoff: See what you can do.
Peripetchikoff: No formula, NO DEAL!
C.R. MacNamara: OK, NO DEAL!
Borodenko: We do not need you! If we want Coca-cola, we invent it ourselves!
C.R. MacNamara: Oh, yeah? In 1956 you flew a bottle of Coke to a secret laboratory in Sverdlosk. A dozen of your top chemists went nuts trying to analyze the ingredients. Right?
Mishkin: No comment!
C.R. MacNamara: And in 1958, you planted two undercover agents in Atlanta to steal the formula. And what happened? They both defected! And now they’re successful businessmen in Florida packaging instant borscht. Right?
Peripetchikoff: No comment!
C.R. MacNamara: Last year you put out a cockamamie imitation “Kremlin-kola!” You tried it out in the satellite countries, but even the Albanians wouldn’t drink it. They used it for SHEEP DIP! RIGHT?
Mishkin: No comment!
C.R. MacNamara: So either get down to business or get off the pot!
I agree.
Lloyd Bridges in Airplane was Great!
“Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit...” (smoking, drinking, amphetamines, sniffing glue)
He was hilarious.
