Burt, Dom, Sammy, Dino...”Cannonball Run.” Prove me wrong not the funniest...especially the outtakes of Burt slapping Dom.

I would LOVE to see how Slap Shot scores on the laughs per minute meter. I counted 27 in this 3:29 clip of the Hansen's' first skate for the Chiefs. And for what other movie from the 70s can you still buy merchandise?

When I worked in Manhattan, one of my co-coworkers - in response to a client who was crying poor over paying their bill - said "this is a travesty of a mockery of a sham." Everyone got the joke...I don't know if that would happen elsewhere.

Nowadays, you have to watch yourself with that line because of what follows, and Woody is a POS (but funnier than Borat) but it's still funny.

Top Secret! may have the greatest introduction scene ever.

That was a classic.

The sad thing about that movie is I remember real people like these characters in the 1980s. Haha!

Office Space was like my first corporate job.

His boss Lumbergh drinking a cup of coffee while having sex with his girlfriend was hilarious.

What about revenge of the nerds? Looks like it wasn’t fiction after all

Not even the Exorcist as an honorable mention?

What buffoon made up this list, the Marquis de Sade?

Sadly the world has forgotten some really funny cheapo movies from the past.

Ghosts on the Loose (who can forget when Sach came down with German Measles)

The Bowery Boys meet the Monsters.(1954)

Judy Canova in Lay that Rifle down!(1955)

Then there was the Maw and Paw Kettle movies....
Wonderful forgotten movies from the past.

There is a wonderful out take from THE JERK in which Gaylord Sartain asks Steve Martin for money to fix the Upholstery in his aircraft so he can take his friends to the Superbowl in the style they were accustomed to.

It upstaged Martin so bad it was cut from the movie. it is found on line.

The movie that made me laugh hardest and longest was Office Space.

One of my favorites. I worked with a group overseas who were all fans. One Major could do a perfect Lumberg while a Navy CDR did a side-splitting Milton.

We ordered the Office Space kit from ThinkGeek. It had an Initech coffee mug, a Jump to Conclusions mat, a tablet of TPS cover sheets, some flair and even a PC Loadletter sticker which we promptly affixed to our department printer.
