Sheesh back then in the 70's on the cover Esquire was a psuedo Playboy, which featured barely dressed women, that we wil would see on the magazine rack in the 70's.
But I have to disagree with their choice of the best time comedy picture, mine is "Blazing Saddles".

I wouldn't have classified The Breakfast Club as a comedy, though it had its comedic points.

I was a pledge in a Fraternity when Animal House came out, the brothers took us to the movie to “learn” what being a pledge was all about, Animal House was fictional but contained enough truth to make it hysterical funny, every Fraternity had a John Belushi character, perhaps more than one, some of my best friends in life and some of the best experiences were in that Fraternity

That movie is hysterically funny.
My favorite scene is when they break down the Russian by continually
playing, “She Wore an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini.”

I watched “One, Two, Three” a couple months ago for the first time. I think it was a recommendation from V K Lee. It was absolutely hilarious.

The ultra stereotypical young true-believer Russian communist, the gullible and naive American rich girl, the American Coca-Cola executive in Germany — all those send-ups were just perfect.

The Southern miss was not offended by Russians saying,
“Yankee go home”.....b/c Southerners say that all the time.

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 blonde lady?
C.R. Macnamara : That’s the one.
Peripetchikoff : [after conferring with the others] You will send papers to East Berlin with blonde lady in triplicate.
C.R. Macnamara : You want the papers in triplicate, or the blonde in triplicate?
Peripetchikoff : See what you can do.

Best scene ever, ever is when Arnold Stang and Marvin Kaplan get their gas station destroyed by Jonathan Winters in Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
