Funny movies that nobody else seems to enjoy quite like you do...
 
Last week I saw Sacha Cohen's movie "The Brothers Grimsby". I about p!$$ed myself from laughing so hard. It has now moved up on my personal list of favorite funny movies to rival my all-time favorite, "That's My Boy" (Adam Sandler).

When I tell people about either movie, it usually gets the eye rolling or head shaking. It makes me wonder if I am truly warped for being a fan of either of these two guys.

But hey... Sacha Cohen is married to Isla Fisher, which in itself is worthy of a giant Borat-style "high five".:D And Sandler isn't doing too bad either.

Any other warped comedies out there that you guys are a fan of?

The classics, Caddy shack, all 3 Austin Powers, Joe Dirt, Christmas story, Vacation 1, Most Adam Sandler movies,etc

For me and a few select friends, it's 'Raising Arizona' with Nick Cage , Holly Hunter. Pretty much every line is hilarious to us and gets quoted regularly. Definitely on my top 5 list.

"It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World". Wife won't watch it, says it's dumb. What's not to like, and find funny?

I wondered how many people almost died during the car stunts!

Chris65LeMans 08-08-2016 09:02 PM

Vintage Three Stooges shorts - but only the ones with Curly. My kids love 'em too - but nobody else seems to.

Airplane. I watched it in a very smoke filled room decades ago when it first hit HBO.
Never laughed so hard in my life. The food was great too.

77 TRASHCAN 08-08-2016 09:15 PM

Blues Brothers, Blazing Saddles, Christmas Vacation...

Squidward 08-08-2016 09:39 PM

I love all of the Vacations, even the new one. European and Christmas are my faves.

Recently saw Joe Dirt 2. Surprisingly funny, even tho the plot flow got a little weird.

craigs69 08-08-2016 09:47 PM

Beavis and Butthead Do America. Now that's some cinematic excellence right there.

We had some friends over the weekend before last and watched it on Nexflix around a campfire on the patio. It's even funnier when you are half loaded.

borracho 08-08-2016 09:54 PM

Skin Deep, not the best movie but John Ritter is really funny in it.

ta6point6 08-08-2016 10:12 PM

Better off Dead and One crazy Summer are funny John Cusak movies

bird72 08-08-2016 10:30 PM

It's probably weird to rank as one of the funniest movies but The Long Long Trailer just cracks me up, it is epic.

Time Bandits. It was a 1981 British movie about a young boy that joins a band of time-traveling dwarves. They have a map they stole from a powerful being, and they hop from place to place in time trying to steal treasure. It's like a wild dream you have after doing some pretty powerful drugs.

mklinger 08-08-2016 10:56 PM

Have you seen the trailers for Sausage Party http://youtu.be/-uKULaEIqfI

A new classic...

66bonne 08-08-2016 11:43 PM

I can't figure out why but the first "Weekend at Bernie's" made my sides hurt from laughing. Also big fan of the "Police Squad" series.

Motel Hell, one of the first modern horror comedys. I think it should be a cult movie.

Back in 1987, me and my brothers rented Return of the Living Dead and spent hours rewinding all the funny scenes. That one still sticks out in my head.

RocktimusPryme 08-09-2016 12:16 AM

I think Pulp Fiction is the funniest movie ever written. Most wouldnt see it as comedy I guess. But then again I tend to not enjoy traditional comedies.

Since it was mentioned movies you like that others dont.

Try "Everybody Wants Some". Spiritual sequel to "Dazed and Confused". I just watched it. Really dig it. If you like Dazed, give it a try. Seemed to fly under the radar at release.

Lightfoot 08-09-2016 12:28 AM

I just remembered a couple other B movies that get honorable mention:
Seven Hours to Judgment with Beau Bridges
Nightmare at Noon with George Kennedy and Wings Hauser.

Qball 08-09-2016 12:56 AM

"Better Off Dead" is a favorite of mine. "You must obey the posted speed limit, Lane Meyer. A car is not a toy"

Kingpin w/Woody Harrelson & Bill Murray. Funny and a little raunchy. Great soundtrack.

Squidward 08-09-2016 02:11 AM

Wow. Cool stuff. HIS, there's a lot of googling to do...

I forgot about one of my faves from years ago: "Baseketball". Cried my eyes out laughing at their "psych" tactics.

Just skip to 1:28. 'Nuff said!

Cusack movies are great fun too. "Hot Tub Time Machine" is in my top 3.

marxjunk 08-09-2016 08:41 AM

SUPER TROOPERS....the bear scene...stupidest...funniest scene ever

Singleton 08-09-2016 08:55 AM

Mel Brooks "Young Frankenstein" is one of my favorite comedies. No one else that I know seems to get it..

boltbuster 08-09-2016 09:07 AM

Hey, great list... I've got a couple of new offerings: The Great Race, and What's up, Tiger Lily. There's a scene in TGR where Peter Falk tries to get an icicle off of Jack Lemon's villain mustache and rips half of it off ... no dialogue, but a gut-buster as he tries to stick it back on. Tiger Lily was a "B-" Japanese spy flick that Woody Allen bought, erased the sound track and dubbed English dialogue and sound on it. Never laughed so hard... To be honest, I had been drinking when I watched it the first time, which certainly added to the experience.

69goatboy 08-09-2016 09:12 AM

Anything Monty Python for me, but the wife doesn't get the warped British humour.
My oldest wanted spam for dinner one night, so I had to find the Spam skit on youtube. Me and the two boys were in tears, the wife just shook her head.

I like most things that Will Ferrell has done, Talledega Nights being my fav.

Keith Seymore 08-09-2016 10:24 AM

The Great Race is a personal favorite in our family, too, as it the Princess Bride. We can have entire conversations using only quotes from those two movies.

Monty Python cracks me up but I'm the only one at my house.

pontibeast 08-09-2016 10:30 AM

Most anything Monty Python but Holy Grail was one I watched a ton in college and friends would quote frequently. Also Airplane had me dying since I was a teenager and it was off color back then for a teen boy.

george kujanski 08-09-2016 10:58 AM

Another vote for Airplane...those lines pop up everyday.

George

marxjunk 08-09-2016 11:10 AM

young Frankenstein for sure..one of my all time favs....

cornwall4000 08-09-2016 11:49 AM

yes on both monty python and no one else in my immediate universe appreciating it as much as i do.
the movies are masterpieces, but each and every episode of flying circus is where dudes were at their absolute best.

totally non-related, and not even a film, but the phony phone calls on the stern show have had people looking at me from other cars certain i'm having a seizure and giving me looks like "are you ok?".

there's a particularly topical one of richard/sal's that they play frequently, where they call an auto repair shop, say they think they threw a rod, and ask if they can play their engine over the phone. they proceed to repeatedly play the sound of a toilet flushing to the very perplexed mechanic.
sounds stupid, and it IS, but it's just stupidly aneurism-inducing.

Tim Younker 08-09-2016 11:52 AM

Two for me.
1. Trains, Planes, and Automobiles
2. Hollywood Knights
I'm the only one that appreciates the humor in these movies.

GTO68FXSTC98 08-09-2016 12:36 PM

Keeping with the OP topic movies I think that are funny but others don't or haven't seen.
"Very Bad Things" and "Say it isn't So" "Dude Where's My Car"

Don Keefe 08-09-2016 02:29 PM

A couple of more recent ones for me are "Tropic Thunder" and "Train Wreck." Both were really funny.

Hopscotch with Walter Matthew. Best line in the movie "The Son of a ***** is in my house!"

You need to see that one! There are so many stars that make cameo appearances, you can't count them all. Jack Benny, Jim Backus, the 3 Stooges, Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, Don Knotts, the list goes on.....:clap3:

Talladaga nights with Will Farrell was good also.

Young Frankenstein, A Fish Named Wanda, Blazing Saddles and Animal House. I quote lines from all of them on a regular basis...

Ron Landis 08-09-2016 09:28 PM

Well...
 
I was the only one laughing all the way through "Fargo". Steve Buscemi couldn't believe his bad luck at every turn! Ended up in the wood chipper. Lots of comedy but he stole the show in my book. Lots of movies mentioned here are gut-busters for me but this is about the only one that nobody else got...it seems.

FrankieT/A 08-09-2016 09:46 PM

A lot of good classics already mentioned for sure...but how 'bout O' Brother Where Art Thou? Not everybody gets it for sure...

Ron Landis 08-09-2016 09:58 PM

That...

is probably my all-time favorite...but you are correct. Most people don't make the connection to Homer's Odyssey which takes a lot away from what you get out of the movie. Coen Bros. won my heart with their flicks. Fargo...as I already mentioned and No Country for Old Men is another that I never miss an opportunity to watch. Not a comedy but full of twists and good one-liners.
