The funniest movie of all time

Post by JuanHamm »

Is it Dumb and Dumber or Step Brothers?

Or something else?

What do you think?

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Blazing Saddles is a contender, for sure. I haven't seen Friday in over 20 years, so I can't judge. Monty Python movies tend to be a little uneven, so I don't think they're real contenders. Never seen Duck Soup or Stripes and I don't really care for Caddy Shack.

I think we could add Airplane and The Naked Gun to the conversation.

Zoolander is a really good call. I always forget about that movie.

Lebowski wins. Skin tag's whole list is outstanding, though.

in the same spirit -- and I've posted about this before -- Something About Mary with a packed theater was god-level joy
Same situations for me when I first saw American Pie or Old School in the theater.
