100.
While Trey Parker and Matt Stone had nothing to do with this, outside of
acting in it, their humor shines through. You will recognize plenty of
their usual comrades, and even hear a couple of voices you may recognize
from a certain animated show. May not be a masterpiece, but it is funny
as hell.
99.
Mike Judge has held a special place in my heart since I was a teenage
boy who first saw Beavis & Butthead. Idiocracy is almost as
terrifying as it is funny. The amount of things that have already come
true definitely make me glad that I am not immortal, as I hope I don't
have to see the world turn into the shit hole that Mike Judge has
prophesied. All the terror aside, this movie has me shitting bricks
every time I watch it.
98.
One of the greatest college comedies ever created. Some surprises in the
cast, and George Clinton and the P-Funk All Stars know how to
party.Remember, Don't be that guy. Get your ass out, and watch this
bitch. You wont regret it.
97.
In the old days, spoof movies were actually capable of being funny. Who
knew? Hot Shots is a spoof of Top Gun, as well as others. Charlie Sheen
shines, long before he drank tiger blood, or starred in the shittiest
sitcom ever. I love the sequel, but in the end, this is the one I
revisit more often.
96.
John Candy makes his first of many appearances on this list. If I was an
uncle, I would probably make Buck look like a saint. Granted, if they
made a movie about that it probably wouldn't end up on a comedy list.
95.
I randomly rented this one night back in the nineties. I wasn't really
sure what I was getting, I knew Steve Buscemi, and Samuel L Jackson
ruled, but that was about it. My balls were detached from my body, I was
laughing so hard. Get this in your diet now. If you haven't seen it,
you're in for some awesome. If you have, I can assure you it's time to
revisit.
94.
Seth the Zombie and I went to see this one afternoon on a whim. We
didn't really know much, but it was hot, and we wanted to sit in a
theater and drink a beer, and this was playing. I initially had no
interest, as the trailers just made it look like generic crap. I believe
it came out around the time as that Paul Blart: Mall Cop garbage, so I
dismissed it based on my brain linking it to that. Once it started, I
quickly realized I was wrong. A black comedy, that had me shitting out
of my nose. So twisted, and hilarious.
93.
Before Pauly Shore became a total joke(a belief I don't share with most
people)he made this masterpiece. The classic fish out of water tale is
told with all the weasels. I revisited this a couple of years ago, when I
was spending the weekend with Sadistik. I was surprised how well it
had held up, as it had been quite a few minutes since I had seen it
last. Since then I have watched it at least once a year. Pauly Shore
line dancing. Pure gold.
92.
Slapstick at its finest. Leslie Nielsen in one of his finest roles.
Robert Stack always rules. So many memorable moments. Lay 'em down, and
smack 'em, yak 'em. Pop this bitch in, now!
91.
Probably the funniest movie about taking advantage of someone with
amnesia.KurtRussell pretty much always owns, and Municipal Waste even
wrote a song about it.
90.
I watched this movie so many times in my teens, that I thought I was
starring in it. The amount of TV shows that have based entire episodes
around this film is insane. I dare you to think of a Sci-Fi show that
hasn't? X-Files, Supernatural, Buffy. The list goes on. Bill Murry at
his best.
89.
I wasn't a nerd in school, per se, but that didn't stop me from
identifying with them. I watched this film more times than I masturbated
to Porky's, well at least the same amount. Booger was always my
favorite, as he was on the more obscene side, which I definitely related
to. It's pretty crazy to go back and see how skinny John Goodman was in
this. Followed by sequels, that were fun, but didn't quite match the
level of awesome.
88.
What can I say about this, that hasn't already been said? It is classic
for a reason. Belushi, Bacon, Matheson, just to name a few. I assume you
have seen this, in the off chance you haven't. Make sure to see what
you're missing out on.
87.
Based of the TV show, but plenty of new gags to keep you entertained. See OJ before he forgot how to put on a pair of gloves.
86.
An updated version of the classic show, but fucking hilarious. One of
the finest examples of a buddy cop comedy. The sacrifice scene turned me
on when I was a kid, still does.
85.
A buddy comedy, starring your grandparents. I can't help but love this. I watch it pretty much every holiday season.
84.
A misunderstood film. I am shocked how many people I hear with disdain
for this film. Elliot kills it, and Letterman is amazing. If you didn't
enjoy it, I highly recommend you give it another chance. The amount of
shit that leaves my body when I watch this is insane.
83.
I generally am not a fan of Jim Carrey. I enjoy a few of his flicks, but
this is the only one that stands out for me. So many memorable moments,
and I am beyond excited for the sequel hitting later this year.
82.
Arguably the first horror comedy. At least as far as the modern trend
goes. Sure you had the Abbott and Costello films, and plenty of others
that embraced comedy, but this is the first one I can think of that
straight up spoofed the genre. The Breather is an amazing killer, and
it's hilarious to boot.
81.
John Waters makes his first, of many appearances on here. I love Pecker,
take that statement however you like. The point is, Edward Furlong
kills it in this loose biopic of Waters himself. Plenty of the Waters
crew show up, and there are some truly amazing moments.
80.
When I first was made aware that A Dirty Shame was happening, I shit. I
have been in love with John Waters as long as I can remember. All I
initially knew was that Johnny Knoxville, and Chris Issac were in it,
and it was going to be a return to his roots. When I finally heard that
it was rated NC-17, I knew it had a chance. In the end, it is somewhere
between his initial shock films, and his later films, but it is amazing,
and that is all that matters. Selma Blair has giant breasticles, Johnny
Knoxville is god like, and Tracy Ullman sits on a bottle in front of a
grip of seniors. Plenty of cameos from the surviving Dreamlanders, and a
few other surprises.
79.
Definitely on the list mostly due to nostalgia, but entertaining
nonetheless. Some classically quotable lines,and Gwar makes an
appearance.
78.
I had no interest in seeing this, it looked insanely dumb. Well, it was, but it was also fucking hilarious.
77.
Danny Glover had gotten too old for other shit, so he moved on to this
shit. Another elderly comedy makes the list. The chemistry between Pesci
and Glover is hypnotic. They are dumb as shit, and make me laugh my
balls off. Classic buddy comedy.
76.
Excuse me, I need to go walk my goldfish.
75.
A Thanksgiving must watch. So many classic lines. Steve Martin and John
Candy were/are two of the funniest mother fuckers around. Someone made a
faux trailer of this. It was edited to be a reinterpretation of
Brokeback Mountain. Look it up. It will have you shitting.
74.
Never have really been a Star Trek fan, so I wasn't initially interested
in this. Luckily I finally popped it in. Nerds who work at a fictional
Full Moon Studios, go see theatrical screenings of classic films, and
are obsessed with Laser Discs. If it wasn't for the Star Trek obsession,
I would assume it was about me. Also, have you ever seen William
Shatner rap about Ceaser? Well, you need to.
73.
One of the first Hip-Hop comedies I fell in love with. A staple in my
viewing during the nineties. Jeff Burr, king of the sequels even makes a
cameo. So I get my horror fix, while I laugh my ass off.
72.
I always think of this along with Home Alone. While I love Home Alone
around Christmas time, this is always pleasing to my brain. John Ritter
is a god, and the kid is such a little shit head. I used to put this on
if I wanted to piss off Mortician Matt. He, to this day will not admit
how awesome this film is. Someday I will lock him up and Clockwork
Orange his ass, and make him watch this on repeat.
71.
Everything these guys touch turns into gold. I feel like I waited
forever for this to finally come out. Once it did, I hit the theater as
soon as I could. It is rare fore me to laugh as hard as I did in a
theater for this. The songs, the commentary, the fake cameos. All
brilliant. The dicks and pussies speech at the end, had me dying.
70.
This picks up directly after the hijinks of the first film. Nothing new,
but with how much I love the first one, I never minded. I could have
followed these bastards around for years. Well, I thought I could. Then
Porky's Revenge happened.
69.
I have been a connoisseur of taking animal films since I was dick high. I
am always on the lookout for new ones. They are pretty sparse since
their heyday in the nineties. First trailer for this, and I was hooked.
Once it hit the shelves, I took it home, and goddamn. The amount of
laughter coming out of me. Wow. Snoop is a hound dog. Do you need to
know any more?
68.
One of the only sports films I truly love. The twins. Yep, the twins.
67.
One of the Kevin Smith films that gets the most hate. I don't get it.
After Clerks, I needed to see this, and once it hit home video, I did
just that. Instantly was in love. The amount of times this played in my
bedroom in high school is only challenged by the amount of chickens that
were choked in there.
66.
This sequel surpasses the original, and I love the original. Burgess
Meredith probably doesn't remember how funny he was, eating all that
bacon, and making inappropriate comments, but I do.
65.
I love all of the Vacation movies, even Vegas is great. This is the one
that always gets me though. I have a weird obsession with Christmas
films also, so that only helps. Very few things in this world are as
funny as Eddie emptying his RV, and screaming "Shitter was full." This
last year, I watched this while on mushrooms. Totally changed the
experience.
64.
Love both of these, but this has always been my favorite. The Seventh
Seal homage owns me. The aliens, the butt rockers, the babes. Solid from
start to finish.
63.
This is a film that is affected by its own hype. I caught it the opening
week, so I hadn't had it shoved down my throat yet. All I know is I
shit my pants like seven times in the theater. Mike Tyson, wild animals,
Mike Epps. Shit is great. Followed by two entertaining, but not perfect
by any means, sequels.
62.
Chevy Chase at his finest. I really don't know what to say about this.
It is near perfection. Followed by the almost equally entertaining
Fletch Lives.
61.
Joe Dante kills it with this loose biopic of William Castle. John
Goodman slays in this role, and the kid from Eerie Indiana is always
awesome. I am grateful I grew up during the splattery eighties, but if I
hadn't, I think being a monster kid in the fifties would have been
amazing.
60.
Another entry that is very nostalgia based. Parts are overly
sentimental, but there are enough laughs to keep it entertaining. I saw
this at the drive in, about a week after I graduated. Which made it
nearly impossible to not draw parallels to my own life. I mean, I also
wanted to penetrate Jennifer Love Hewitt. Some random cameos from future
stars keep you on your toes as well.
59.
Growing up a fan of the greener things in life, how can you not love
this masterpiece? It is also funny as shit, so that doesn't hurt.
58.
From what I have heard, Bob Odenkirk, and David Cross have disowned
this. I know it took a christ age for it to finally come out. I loved
Mr. Show, and was insanely excited when I heard that a feature based off
my favorite criminal was headed to the big screen. A billion years
later it finally hit, and my ass left my body from laughing so hard. It
is not perfect. Plenty of flaws, and I understand why they weren't happy
with the finished product. With that said. This shit is funny as hell.
57.
Super under appreciated film. Written and directed by Louis C.K. Goes
great as a double feature with Fear of a Black Hat. I swear by Pootie,
Let him protect you.
56.
The amount of times I watched this growing up. Wow! Mostly looked down
upon. I don't get it. Holy shit! The cast is so great. So many heavy
hitters. It is on the verge of being a horror comedy. The make up is
excellent. It's almost a comedic version of the backwoods horror film.
Oh, and Digital Underground kills it.
55.
After the amazing Super Troopers, I was ready to see more from Broken
Lizard. When I heard their next film was going to be a horror spoof, I
leaked a little from multiple places. I waited anxiously until the time
had come. I fell in love instantly. Super Troopers took me a couple
views to fully love, where this was instant. Bill Paxton destroys as the
fictional version of Jimmy Buffet, surprisingly effective kills, and
Jordan Ladd gets all kinds of naked. This, and the fact there is a
solid laugh within every five minutes of film, makes it a regular must
watch.
54.
The film that put Wes Anderson on the map. He had Bottle Rocket
beforehand, but this really put him in the everyday lexicon of film
nerds. Probably the first time I realized how brilliant Bill Murry was.
While I have enjoyed most of Anderson's films since, very few have
surpassed this one for me.
53.
Written by Stuart Gordan, and Brian Yuzna. Yes, you read that right. I
saw this shit in the theater multiple times. Funny as hell, with a bit
of the atomic Sci-Fi feel. Followed by a couple of enjoyable sequels.
52.
A childhood favorite. Michael Keaton was on a roll in the late eighties.
This had everything I was in love with as a kid. It also is one of the
fist times I realized I could have my horror and comedy in the same
helping.
51.
Sending talking animals to the city, is similar to sending a horror
franchise to space. Probably not a great idea, but somehow ends up being
pretty goddamn entertaining. I don't visit this one quite as often as
the first, but it still ends up in the deck more frequently than it
should at a 33 year old's house.
50.
We start into the second half of this countdown, with one of the newer
films to make the cut for me. The cast all kill it in this. Franco blows
me away, but it is the collective that makes up the entire cast that
really captures my heart. I really hope part two happens, especially if
it is anything like their homemade version from This is the End.
49.
While I never was a huge fan of Hogan as a wrestler, I generally love
his film work. That sounded funny, even as I typed it, but I stand by
it. I wouldn't dare call any of them cinematic masterpieces, but goddamn
are they fun. Unless you count Santa with Muscles, which I still feel
the need to watch during the Xmas season, but I digress, he was always
too positive for me in the wrestling world. I didn't want to hear
someone tell me to stay away from drugs, and respect my parents. I
wanted someone to kick ass, and chew bubble gum. Even with my less than
loving attitude towards his wrestling, I love this movie. The whole cast
is great, and it is a great one to put on during a lazy day.
48.
A staple of my teenage years. Growing up, I always wanted to work in a
video store. I imagined all the hijinks I could get myself into. This
movie helped me see that my imagination was just breaking the barrier.
It is also one of the first movies that made me realize that anyone
could make a movie, if they really wanted to. A film I revisit often
would be an understatement. One last thing. Is thirty seven dicks really
a big deal?
47.
I assume many will disagree with me putting this above the first one.
While I don't disagree that the first is a far superior film, this one
is more of a staple for me. I absolutely loved the gopher in this, and I
wore the shit out of the first tape of this, that I owned.
46.
Emilio Estevez writes, directs, and stars in this. Part garbage man
comedy, part murder mystery. This film defines the early nineties for
me. Keith David is terrifying, and hilarious. You don't ever touch
another mans french fries.
45.
One day I in my early teens, I took the bus downtown to do some VHS
hunting. I had just recently heard about South Park, but didn't have
cable at the time, so I still had only seen bits and pieces at friends
houses. Well, as I was perusing the wall of tapes, one jumped out at me.
Cannibal: The Musical called to me. I snagged it off the shelf, and
returned home. I popped it in the VCR, and shit quickly left my insides
from laughter. It was a year later or so that I realized that it was the
same madman involved in South Park that had made this. Since then, I
try and watch it at least once a year. I am always excited to go hunting
for gold. Fudge, Packer?
44.
Few movies sum up my childhood like this one. I think the only thing I
rented more than this was Dream Warriors. Simultaneously terrifying, and
hilarious.
43.
John Waters is one of my gods. While not my favorite of the Waters
films, this one is one of my most watched. It was in heavy rotation in
high school. I love the homages to classic horror such as H.G. Lewis,
and other pioneers of the drive in age. Matthew Lillard fresh off the
success of his cameo in Ghoulies III, is hilarious. I love John Waters
use of stunt casting, and I think Kathleen Turner in this, might be his
masterpiece.
42.
Most Coen Brother films slay me, but this is the first one I remember
seeing. I assume most have seen this, if you haven't, leave your bunker,
and change your life.
41.
Who hasn't wanted to give strangers orgasms without going to jail? Who
hasn't wanted to get cast into a porn movie on pure chance? Who hasn't
seen this masterpiece? Kill yourself. Well, at least go rent or buy this
now.
40.
Definitely a staple of my childhood. I watched this so many times as a
kid, I had to take about a decade off from it. I have since revisited it
multiple times, and instantly fell back in love. Anytime I hear a bell,
I quickly hear "Bring out your dead." It is only in my head, I assume,
but it is amazing every time.
39.
I have always loved Alex Winter. Mainly due to Bill and Ted, but it was
Freaked that really gave me a huge man boner for him. I saw this when I
was a kid, and never could remember the name. I always pictured it in my
head, but could never figure out the title. Then when Anchor Bay
released the DVD, I quickly knew I had found one of my lost loves. After
plenty of reunited sex with it, I have fell in love with it again.
38.
Holy shit! I love this movie. I enjoy most of the eighties parody/slapstick films, but this has always been the standout for me. It definitely helps that it is a spoof of The Exorcist, and even has a few of the stars, including Linda Blair. Leslie Nielsen shines as the priest. So much pee soup. I also have a fond memory of the boobs. I miss PG-13 Boobs.
37.
I assume I will get a lot of shit for putting this higher than the first
one. I love Clerks, for it's time it was pretty genre defying, and
started Smith's career. I however, can't deny the amount I shit the
first time I saw this, and every time after. I felt like Dante and
Randal had never left me. So fucking funny, and so many great cameos.
The beginning, and the end are a perfect capture of nostalgia from the
first one.
36.
A who's who of 80/90's Hip Hop. Even has the other Dr. Dre, the fat and
hilarious one. I don't hear people talk about this as much as I would
expect, with how fucking awesome it is. Dennis Leary is amazing as the
chief, just don't ask him for anything round with a whole in it.
35.
I almost like this more than the original. It is close, but I can't
argue with the perfection of the first, but we will get to that soon. As
mentioned before, I love Xmas movies. I have a weird obsession for
them. When I found out that there would be a new Friday film, this time
on Christmas, I was happier than a pig in shit. I have written about my
love for this film before, during Shit Movie Fest's "Shitmas." The
returning cast from the previous films are amazing, and made better with
all the new additions. Terry Crews kills me in this. He loves 2Pac. I
mean loves.
34.
Ernest makes his first, of many appearances on this list. In his third
theatrical excursion, he gets tricked into going to jail. Ernest is a
god in my world. I bow to him. I even love his later shitty direct to
video films. Jail is somewhere in the middle for me. It is definitely
not my favorite, and the middle drags a bit, but there is more than
enough hilarity to keep me coming back. The scene where he accidentally
eats a pen during jury duty has me on the floor every time.
33.
Steve Martin shows perfection in this. I am always happy to watch this beast. Just watch out, I hate those cans.
32.
Definitely my favorite Anderson film. Billy Murry. No need to say
anymore. The supporting cast is exceptional as well. Willem Dafoe is
probably my favorite, and the Bowie covers. Yep.
31.
Adam Sandler once tried to remake this. Well, that is an assumption, but
either way, he failed. This is a masterpiece. John Ritter always owns.
There are moments as terrifying as funny, but all that does is help me
love it more.
30.
Sidney Poitier directed this. Yep you read that right, Mr. Cosby is
coming to dinner. Horror comedy may be stretching the term a bit, but he
is ghost, so I will go with it. Dana Ashbrook has a small role, and
that is just one of many reasons to watch this badass flick.
29.
Goddamn! So good. The Dude Abides, and so do I.
28.
The amount of times I dreamt of having my own TV station is
astronomical, and largely in part to UHF. I want to drink from the fire
hose. Hit me up, you can come by and eat a hot dog, covered in cheese
wiz, out of a twinkie.
27.
Even though this film takes place four years before I was born, it feels
hugely nostalgic to me. That feeling of school being out, heading to a
party, not knowing what you are gonna do with your life. It probably
helps that I saw this first, when I was in high school. Smartly written,
and hilarious on top of that. Oh, and the soundtrack kills.
26.
Who hasn't wanted to just up and quit their job? Just live life, no
pressure, no responsibility. I know I have. While not realistic to do,
it is fun as hell to watch. I remember renting this late one night off
of the satellite, and dying. I then watched it three more times before
my 24 hour rental expired.
25.
I loved The State so much. When this hit I knew I had to see it. It is
insane to go back now, and see so many people that have went on to huge
celebrity status. The theme song is played constantly at the house of
grog.
A must watch on Christmas. I was shocked when I went to see this, and saw that it was Terry Zwigoff. I then lost my shit for two hours. Billy Bob recently reminded me why I love him so much, with the Fargo TV show. This is the movie that really made me fall in love with Billy Bob. Hidden beneath all of the tasteless jokes, and Santa fucking, is a pretty smart, sincere, and hilarious film.
23.
So many memories. So many moments of amazing. Make sure to check Mortician Matt's list for a full story about an epic evening with this flick.
22.
Damn near close to my favorite Water's flick. As far as his older ones go, it is the most subtlety brilliant. The sex scene with Jean Hill and Mink Stole is one of cinema's best.
21.
I want Harry to be my best friend. I only lived an hour and a half outside of Seattle when this came out, that just made it more reasonable in my head, that someday we would become pals. Lithgow is amazing. Someday I will have a tattoo of Harry. Yes, it will happen.
20.
Shit everywhere. That is what happened the first, and every time I
watched this. Breathing is a difficult thing to accomplish during
Superbad. Every word that comes out of their mouths, is hilarious. The
amount of times Jonah Hill is hit by things. Wow. Best part of the whole
movie is him tripping over the tent in a random back yard. So perfectly
timed.
19.
The film that put Ernest on the map. So many amazing moments. The song
he sings is surprisingly touching, and parachuting turtles always excite
me.
18.
This is a film I stumbled across, perusing the walls at the video store.
I knew nothing about it, but the title ruled, the cover had a pretty
girl on it, and it claimed to be better than Dazed and Confused. I
didn't really expect that quote to hold any truth, as I was in love with
Dazed. Once I watched it I knew two things. It was amazing, and
comparing it to Dazed was not really valid. They both take place in the
70's, besides that, not a lot in common. Over the years, this has become
a staple around my place. I have to watch it at least once a year, and
the quotes never end. Beware the eyeball.
17.
A spoof of Sherlock Holmes, in a haunted house, with Don Knotts. Do you really need to know anymore?
16.
The most infamous of Waters' films. I have always loved the idea of
people competing for the title of "filthiest people alive." Every time I
watch this I laugh harder, then I did the previous time. Singing
assholes, shit eating, family blow jobs, eggs, and so much more.
15.
I think I can safely assume that this is the darkest comedy on the list.
Calling this a comedy, is a bit of a stretch. With that said, I can't
help but laugh my ass off, in between cringing of course. The opening
with Jon Lovitz has be rolling on the floor every time. It is so
awkward, and perfectly executed. After you have watched this, make sure
you search for the video of Bert and Ernie, with the "cum" conversation
overdubbed. Jaw dropping.
14.
I have watched this so many times. I can pretty much quote it from start
to finish. The tomfoolery between these three pets is non stop. All of
the others they meet on their journey just add to the awesome. Watch out
for Birdzilla, and remember "cats rule, and dogs drool."
13.
Never in a million years would have thought that this title would make
it so high on my list. I don't really enjoy Russel Brand, and romantic
comedies are not my go to, in the comedy genre. The writing in this is
brilliant though. Jason Segel straight kills it, and the jokes never
stop. The vampire puppets are an amazing touch as well.
12.
I never got snow days when I was growing up. The city was way too
prepared, and at best school would be delayed for a couple of hours, but
I believe that only happened once. I did create my own snow days, but I
did that year round, didn't really matter the weather.
The cast in this is great. Chris Elliot as Snow Plow Man, Chevy Chase as
the bumbling meteorologist, and Iggy Pop as the uptight ice rink
manager. So many great jokes, and hearing Iggy Pop scream "Metallica
sucks" is a highlight of my personal life.
11.
I can put this on anytime. It has, and always will entertain me, like
few films do. When I was a kid, I enjoyed the nudity, and the gang
seemed like a group of people I would love to hang out with. Now I enjoy
the....oh who am I kidding, I still love it for the same reasons.
10.
It is always very difficult for me to pick my favorite John Waters
flick. This, Pink Flamingos, and Desperate Living are always the three
that fight for the title in my head. Pink Flamingos is his most famous,
and most shocking, mostly due to the shit scene. I love everything about
it. Desperate Living is insanely underrated in my opinion, but it
always comes back to this one, for me. It has all of the shock of
Flamingos, but just seems smarter, and it is easier for me to identify
with the characters. I love the duel role of Divine, and the Christmas
opening gives me an excuse to watch it every holiday season.
9.
More Ernest. There is no such thing as too much Ernest in my world. As
stated previously, I love Christmas movies. I have a weird affinity for
them. So mixing that with Ernest. Well, lets just say I have had to call
the doctor, because this thing has definitely lasted longer than four
hours.
8.
I'm a dude....who is obsessed with Good Burger. It is rare for me to go a
month without putting this on. Start to finish, I shit.
7.
I struggled putting such a new movie so high on the list, but with the
amount of times I have watched it, during its short life, made it seem
valid in my head. The laughs just don't stop for me. I love that
everyone basically plays the stereotype, most associated with them. I
love the horror references, I love Satan's cock. I am not sure how to
feel about the fact that that statement doesn't seem out of place, when
coming out of my mouth. Never mind, I am Okay with that.
6.5.
This is one of those films that took multiple watches to fully fall in
love with. I liked it initially, but it wasn't until I had gotten to
know the characters that it really shined for me. It also gave me a new
goal in life. Someday, I will send someone a giant cotton candy.
Someday.
6.
I had no interest in seeing this initially.The trailer didn't really
make it look all that great, and I was pretty over Adam Sandler, by the
point it came out. Once I watched it, I realized two things. It was
fucking hilarious, and outside of his name being attached, Sandler
wasn't really involved. I love when films play insane shit, straight.
Like a monkey driving the two most stoned individuals you have ever
seen, to a video game competition.
5.5.
A movie that not many have seen, but everyone should. It is so bat shit
insane. Frank Stallone kills it. The scene where he does a flip of the

Another film I can quote from start to finish. So many brilliant
characters, and the cast all own their roles. Goddamn, I really want
some pig's feet.

I remember being about ten or eleven, and I was up late watching films
in my room. That was nothing new. Basically how I spent my evenings. I
had to be up early the next morning, to meet with a friend. I was about
to turn off the USA Network, where I had been watching some schlock
film. Then I heard a couple of Canadians talking to a lion. I knew right
then, sleep wasn't an option. I sat there with my eyes glued to the
screen. To this day, I can't take my eyes away, if this is on the tube.

I had already become obsessed with Poolboy, when I first heard about
this. I loved the idea, and the trailer had me rolling on the ground. It
finally hit shelves, and I had a party at the house of grog. A group of
us put it in, and the laughter basically didn't stop until it was over.
I couldn't breath. I couldn't talk, I could barely see, I was laughing
so hard. I had to instantly watch it again alone, as I knew I had missed
at least half the jokes due to the shitting going on in my living room.
Ray Wise calling Einstein names, the Axis of Evil being werewolves, and
the mystery of if FDR's cack, and if it was able to work. These along
with every other second kept me playing this on repeat for days.
Marco......Polio!

The amount of shitty movies this guy has directed, is kind of insane.
Especially when you look at this, or his other masterpiece, which was
Problem Child. It just baffles my brain. Oh well, that doesn't change
the fact that this film is perfect. Truly bizarre, insane cinema. I have
worn numerous copies of this tape out.

I watch this every Halloween, and have every year since I was a little
tike. I also end up watching throughout the year. I never have, and
never will get sick of this. The aliens are hilarious, and Royal Dano
reprises his role from Killer Klowns, basically.

So classic. Never really fancied myself a Tom Hanks fan, but when he is
good, he nails it. This is definitely one of those times. Watching him,
and his decent into madness, is mesmerizing. When he loses his shit, and
is throwing a hissy, I can't breathe. The neighbors are creepy as shit,
and I love the idea of throwing a party to watch your crazy neighbors.

I had a hard time not putting this at number one. There are two reasons
it didn't make it, and those are revealed below. A modern day eighties
comedy. Not because it's an homage, or because part of it takes place in
the eighties, but because it is pure insanity plot wise, that generally
is only found in an eighties comedy. Crispin Glover is so fucking good.
Waiting for him to lose his arm is comedic genius. So many quotes are
now part of my everyday lexicon.

Good goddamn! I will never get sick of this flick. I watched this so
many times in my childhood. Mortician Matt, and I would watch this shit
three times a day, at certain points. Joe Spinell has a small role in
it, as well as Eddie Dezzen. If you haven't seen this. Watch it. Pure
eighties perfection.

It had to be number one. Ernest is God, and this is his masterpiece. I
love everything he has done, but nothing can beat this for me. The troll
is pretty terrifying, Eartha Kitt is amazing, and MIAK will save your
life.
Thanks so much for reading along as I went down memory lane within the
comedy world. I am in no way claiming the quality of these films. These
are in order, based on my taste, my nostalgia, and my insanity.

Great list! Pineapple Express is way up there for me, and I'm glad I saw Ghostbusters on it. If I had to include one though, it'd be Revenge of the Nerds. Timeless classic!
