Well, that’s just, like your opinion man.
THE DEATH OF STALIN is funny.
OFFICE SPACE was much funnier than the spinoff television series.
Many of the best comedies were made in the 1930s and 40s such as the work of W.C. Fields, The Marx Brothers, The Three Stooges, and even musical comedy greats like Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, and Judy Garland.
Can’t imagine a list of great comedies without Peter Sellers on it... I nominate “Being There”.
Add Porky’s and Smokey and the Bandit to your list.
