I disagree with the order of a lot of them, haven't seen about 15% and disagree with the inclusion of a few.
Other than that, it certain is a list. They've got that much going for them. |

it's not even a matter of "understanding," it's just that they suck |

I don't understand comedies with Ben Stiller, Tim Allen and Adam Sandler... unfunny like hell.
Airplane, Hotshots, Naked Gun, Monthy Python, Ace Ventura should definatly be in the list.

Too much Will Ferrell, and WAY too much Adam Sandler. I don't have a clue what I would put in their place, but get Billy Madison and Talladega Nights the hell off of this list.

Wow, I have to say I really dont agree with this list. No Dr. Strangelove? A Fish Called Wanda? Young Frankenstein at 70? Blazing Saddles at 51? Dodgeball, Anchorman, and Superbad in the top 10?

I was appalled at that list....absolutely criminal exclusions on that list. Not to mention the inclusion of some movies that are so unfunny, people who voted for them should by shot.
So, I went ahead and made some changes to the list: 100. Wedding Singer -Good movie, some serious laughs there. It stays. 099. 098. 097. Revenge of the Nerds. -Decent comedy in its day. Carradine's laugh still makes me giggle. 096. 095. 094. Coming To America -One of Murphy's best. He was firing on on all cylinders back then. 093. Black Sheep -Farley and Spade getting a little tired here, but still funny. 092. The Jerk -I see this movie and wondered where he went all wrong. Jerk is classic. 091. 090. Little Miss Sunshine -I liked it. I didn't laugh as much the first time, but more on repeated views. 089. Clerks II -Funny and gets extra metal points for including King Diamond...LOL! 088. Waiting -Some don't like Reynolds, I think his gift of quippy gab is hilarious. 087. Beverly Hills Cop -Balances laughs with action on a phenomenal level. 086. 085. Me, Myself, & Irene -And he does schizo/nutbar even better 084. Road Trip -Seann William Scott and DJ Qualls save this movie from Tom Green. 083. Christmas Vacation -Easily the best of the series. My wife can still do the end rant on cue. 082. 081. 080. Dogma -Smith skews religion, offends many and still gets laughs.Tough act. 079. Blades of Glory -Barely stays on the list. Heder outshines Farrell in this, I think. 078. Van Wilder -One of the best college comedies and Kal Penn owns in this. 077. Naked Gun 2� -Nielsen deadpans it like nobody. Terrible shame he passed on. 076. 075. 074. Accepted -Came late to this one, but it won me over. 073. Plains, Trains, and Automobiles -Candy was brilliant and brought out the best in Martin in this one. 072. History of the World, Pt 1 -Would've loved to see him do a second one.... 071. Hot Tub Time Machine -Loved seeing Cusack doing comedy again. Cuz he does it well. 070. Young Frankenstein -Brooks gets fantastic performances from everyone. Puttin on the RItz! 069. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure -Funny movie, but Keanu's ventures into serious acting is even funnier. 068. 067. 066. 065. Napolean Dynamite -I think what makes this movie is EVERYONE is insane or idiotic. 064. Get Him To The Greek. -Brand is genius, but the reveal of P-Diddy's comedic chops killed me 063. 062. 061. 060. 059. Jay And SIlent Bob Strike Back -Its all over the place and has low points, but is funny overall. 058. The Mask -Carrey didn't even need special effects for his facial antics 057. The Simpsons Movie -Funny, but how better it would've been made even 10 yrs sooner? 056. 055. Something About Mary -Took my then 12yr old stepdaughter to see this. I was a bad dad....LOL 054. Men In Black -Giving this one a pass even though there are better comedies. 053. 052. Wayne's World 2 -They boys were showing their age, but were still funny here. 051. Blazing Saddles -A movie that could never be remade in this politically correct day & age. 050. Clerks -One of the most quotable movies among all my friends and family. I'll be back with the last 50 later. My fingers are pooped out. Edited by genghiscon - 27 Nov 2011 at 2:35am |

Monthy Python should definatly in the list. But American Pie? The first one was pretty funny, but 2 of them?

I'd nominate The Gods Must Be Crazy, Spinal Tap, 48 Hours and the first Crocodile Dundee - strangely enough all 80's movies (not mty fave decade for many things)
I never really found Monty Python that funny.... Actually it often wasn't.... they were trying to push the boundaries of humour, but IMHO, often semi-failed.... actually, I find post-Python movies funnier (Brazil or Wanda) Edited by Sean Trane - 04 Apr 2011 at 7:12am |

my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicted musicians to crazy ones....

It's often classified as comedy, but should be filed under documentary. It documents stupidity. |

I've not seen Jackass, but just the premise turns me off so I probably never will.

British humour is my favourite! Well, especially on TV. My favourite series ever is Yes Minister/Prime Minister and Black Adder. And Monty Python's flying circus... Oh well.
I love Will Ferrel. Really not a fan of Adam Sandler. Jackass is not even remotely funny. I get it but I still cringe with almost every sequence in there. Kick him in the balls. Yeah. Now he hurts like hell. So funny.

My .... my stapler ..... Glad that was a Top 10. I love the character Mike Judge plays. I especially like the look on his face the time Jennifer Anniston flips him off.  |

I didn't really care for Holy Grail, but I've not really found British humor to be all that funny. |

Thankfully. Seeing what else was on the list, I'm surprised it wasn't left off. |

^Yeah, I'm not too familiar with most of them, but the Holy Grail is a great, and classic movie

Haven't thought about this much but at a first glance I don't like a lot of those movies.
And I know I am in the minority but one of my favourite comedies and favourite movies in general was I Heart Huckabees. No. 1 spot was thankfully correct.

I like Adam Sandler, and Happy Gilmore is a pretty funny movie, but still way too much Adam Sandler on the list. I can't stand Will Ferrell. He is even less humorous than British humor to me. One of these days I will have to try Holy Grail again to see if my perspective has changed.
