I don’t watch comedies. Why, you ask?
Because they are NOT FUNNY! They are just STUPID! Okay, an occasional laugh, but just nonsense.
Maybe your funny bone is busted, grampy. You should have that checked.
First half of Blazing Saddles induces many laughs per minute. The second half is meh, especially the big production finish, which is a bit tedious, IMO.
Are those all from the same movie?
Borat was a tired, pale, mean attempt to steal genuinely funny, kind-hearted Yakov Smirnoff material from the 80s.
There are some killer scenes in that one too!😀
No Marx Brothers?
You must be a child.
:)
Riotously funny movie.
Yep.
No Buster Keaton?
No Woody Allen? Sleeper was the funniest movie I ever saw.
I still laugh at the comment in Frankenstein when the guy says “Walk this way” And limps away — and so does the guy behind him!
I watched The Thin Man for the first time a few months ago.
That had some great dialog.

Ah. James Bond. I hate James Bond movies.
The Jerk
“Random bastard”
“He hates these cans.”
“I found my special purpose.”
The Man With Two Brains.
“Why can’t they keep these cats out of the operating room?”
“Dead? We have to get her to a mortuary NOW.”
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
“May I go to the bathroom? .....Thank you.”
“Not Mother?”
For anyone, like me, who lived in a fraternity in the 1960s (yes, the 1960s; I’m an Old Fart with only 2/3 of a farter) “Animal House” is the total winner. The drive in scene where the young lass is manually pleasuring her boyfriend totally cracked me up because it reminded me of the “Tale of the Girl with the Golden Arm” that was well known at my alma mater.
I laughed so hard during that scene I couldn’t breathe, and also during the big chase sequence near the end starting with Christine Baranski confronting Kit on the patio of the restaurant.
********************
Funny thing is, that movie had such a weird title, that I didn’t even watch it till years later and felt like smacking myself upside the head for in initionaly (sp) putting it off.
A lotta slapstick and gross humor on this list
