I can’t believe Blazing Saddles isn’t in the top 5.

Caddyshack, Animal House and Blazing Saddles not in the top 10? NO SALE!

Lots of movies missing from this list.

Two of my favorites NOT mentioned are McClintock and Support Your Local Sheriff.

Pulp Fiction? Dayam...

These lists are always a little silly; there's no real metric for humor. I'd probably add Ruthless People, another Zucker Brothers project. I'm not a Marx Brothers fan, but I'm a little surprised not to see their names in there somewhere.

Bookmarking for additional Freeper suggestions. Mine is “The Ladykillers” with Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness.

Other than the obvious comedies .. Blazing Saddles, Animal House, Caddyshack, Ghostbusters, Galaxy Quest .. that I always come back to to re-watch, there are a few other movies that I didn't see that make my list: Court Jester and Inspector General (Danny Kay), both versions of "To Be or Not To Be" (Jack Benny in 1942 and Mel Brooks in 1983), The Villain (Kirk Douglas), The Great Race (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) and Prisoner of Zenda (1979, with Peter Sellers).

However, there is one movie out there that I truly enjoy that I believe that I am the only person who ever watched it: Undercover Blues - 1993 - Kathleen Turner, Dennis Quaid, and Stanley Tucci.

"My name ... is Muerte!"

"Well, hi, Morty ... I'm Jeff."

Glad to see a few that many may consider obscure, but I think they are fantastic, seen them more than a few times:

Bunuel (Discreet Charm...)

and, The Music Box (a Laurel and Hardy)

If comedy means the film that made you laugh out loud the most, then It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, hands down...

Nice to see “Top Secret” made it on there. A ZAZ movie that wasn’t as popular as Airplane, but (IMHO) was just as funny.

What??? “Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House” isn’t on the list? They are nuts. At least “Mr. Hulot’s Holiday” is there.

“Armed and Dangerous” Maybe lowbrow, but hillarious.
“The Bride came C.O.D.” Another Cagney classic.
“Folks” Tom Selleck aka One Nut.
“Flirting with Disaster” Lotsa big names.
“The Russian’s are coming” Carl Reine
“Club Paradise” Robin Williams, Twiggy.
“One, Two, Three” For Sure
“My Man Godfrey” They don’t make em like this anymore.
“It’s a Gift” W.C.’s best. Carl LaFong?
“That touch of Mink” Cary rox
“Operation Petticoat” Cary again. Seaman Hornsby?
“The Great Race” Tony, Natalie, Jack, Peter.

Any such list by any person or group of people that doesn't include It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World is no more serious than any general waste of time.

Probably such a list can't be serious if Mad World isn't No. 1 by a large majority.
