Movies! The best of COMEDY! (It's a list people!)


Post by The Pretty One
 My Top *insert number here* Favorite Comedy Movies...
(in no particular order)

-ISH








I don't really have them in any particular order but I won't let the list go past the 10 in any particular category... then again, I can't promise that either...

#1 Get Him To The Greek (2010)
"Arriving This Summer (Hopefully)"


Synopsis: A record company intern is hired to accompany out-of-control British rock star Aldous Snow to a concert at L.A.'s Greek Theater.

The great sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall, starring Russell Brand and Jonah Hill (when he was fat and funny). As with all the movies on my lists, I can watch this over and over and back to back. The special features give you the full music videos for Infant Sorrow, which are hilarious!

Diddy plays an amazing role that kept me laughing my ass off for the whole movie.

I have literally downloaded Infant Sorrow music and I sing it out loud while driving down the road.

#2 Dumb & Dumber (1994)
"If they each had half a brain, together they would still only have half a brain."

Synopsis: The cross-country adventures of two good-hearted but incredibly stupid friends.

An immediate classic. I know many girls are going to disagree with me here, calling my choice "stupid" or "dumb"

But the name of the movie is DUMB & DUMBER! That's the point. It's stupid funny and I love it! A lot of one liners in this film have been the entirety of conversations between me and my friends. and I can't wait for the sequel! ---> Dumb and Dumber To

"Altered State Police"

Synopsis: Five Vermont state troopers, avid pranksters with a knack for screwing up, try to save their jobs and out-do the local police department by solving a crime.

I think this was the first movie that made me fall on the ground laughing. I'm serious! I think I came close to dying from lack of oxygen!




This is also their best movie. I have seen all the others including: Puddle Cruiser, Beerfest, Club Dread, The Slammin' Salmon. There may be others but these are what I can remember... and Super Troopers was BY FAR the best! I still repeat movies lines from this!

"If You Liked Scary Movie we don't give a shit"
Synopsis: A send up of all the teen movies that have accumulated in the past two decades.

Ok, so if Super Troopers was the first movie to make me almost die from laughing, this would be the second! I repeat a line in this movie, bare minimum, once a week... and it's usually the same line:

So when "Jake" and Ricky both realize that they want Janey:
Ricky Lipman: I am *not* going to let you hurt Janey again. Okay? Besides, I love her.
Jake: Well, so do I.
Ricky Lipman: [slight pause] Yes, but I'm the best friend, and I have been in front of her face the whole time, and she just... hasn't really realized it yet, but she will.
Jake: Well, I'm the reformed cool guy, who's learned the error of his ways. She's gonna forgive me for my mistakes, and realize that I really love her.
Ricky Lipman: [pause] Dammit, that's true.
they race down the steps from prom and the Jock makes it through and the dork friend runs into a locked door and he screams, "Ahh, fire hazard!"
That line right there, for some reason, made me loose my shit and I have never looked back.

#5 Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
"The story of a man who could only count to #1"

Synopsis: #1 NASCAR driver Ricky Bobby stays atop the heap thanks to a pact with his best friend and teammate, Cal Naughton, Jr. But when a French Formula One driver, makes his way up the ladder, Ricky Bobby's talent and devotion are put to the test.

Quot-astic movie!@! I hear people quoting Ricky Bobby just when I walk down the hall!

Ricky Bobby: Here’s the deal I’m the best there is. Plain and simple. I wake up in the morning and I piss excellence.
Ricky Bobby: Well let me just quote the late-great Colonel Sanders, who said…”I’m too drunk to taste this chicken.”
Ricky Bobby: [after a girl flashes him] Please be 18.
Ricky Bobby: If you ain’t first, you’re last.
Ricky Bobby: Did that blow your mind, because that just happened.
Ricky Bobby: [extending middle finger] Losing is never fun, but here’s a little something to keep your spirits up. It’s real nice, I got it at Target. It was on sale.
Ricky Bobby: Dear Lord baby Jesus, or as our brothers in the south call you, “Jesuz,” we thank you so much for this bountiful harvest of Dominos, KFC, and the always delicious Taco Bell. I just want to take time to say thank you for my family. My two beautiful, beautiful, handsome stricking sons, Walker, and Texas Ranger, or TR as we call him. And of course my red hot smokin’ wife Carley, who is a stone cold fox.
Ricky Bobby: Well look, I like the Christmas Jesus best, and I’m sayin grace. When you say grace, you can say it to grown up Jesus, or teenage Jesus, or bearded Jesus, or whoever you want.
Ricky Bobby: Dear 8 pounds 6 ounces baby Jesus, new born, not even spoken a word yet.
Ricky Bobby: I wo - I wish I could crawl into one of those right now. I’d eat my way out from the inside.


There are so many more... Help me out and remember some for me!

#6 Zoolander
"3% Body Fat. 1% Brain Activity"


Synopsis: At the end of his career, a clueless fashion model is brainwashed to kill the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

When this movie came out, I don't think a week went by for an entire year where me and my friends didn't constantly quote this movie back and forth.

Derek Zoolander: I'm sorry that good-looking people like us made you throw up and feel bad about yourself.
Derek Zoolander: What is this? A center for ants? How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read... if they can't even fit inside the building?
Derek Zoolander: Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty.
Derek Zoolander: There was a moment last night, when she was sandwiched between the two Finnish dwarves and the Maori tribesmen, where I thought, "Wow, I could really spend the rest of my life with this woman".
Derek Zoolander: I can Dere-lick my own balls, thank you very much.
Derek Zoolander: A eugoogolizer--one who speaks at funerals. Or did you think that I'd be too stupid to know what a eugoogoly was?
Derek Zoolander: Words can only hurt you if you try to read them. Don't play their game.
Derek Zoolander: Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features doesn't mean that we too cannot not die in a freak, gasoline fight accident.
Mugatu: Todd! Are you not aware that I get farty and bloated with a foamy latte?
Mugatu: I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! I invented the piano key necktie, I invented it!


I am beginning to see a pattern here where the quotes make the movie for me. I am seeing a lot of the same people in my favorite comedies. And if I didn't have my friends to quote them back and forth with me, then they probably wouldn't make this list.


Pat, Bake, Tyler... you guys probably can attest to this the most!

Oh yeah... can you say sequel? ---> Zoolander 2


#7 Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
"They bring you the news so you don't have to get it yourself."


Synopsis: Ron Burgundy is San Diego's top rated newsman in the male dominated broadcasting of the 1970's, but that's all about to change when a new female employee with ambition to burn arrives in his office.

Ron Burgundy: Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale's vagina.
Ron Burgundy: What? You pooped in the refrigerator? And you ate the whole... wheel of cheese? How'd you do that? Heck, I'm not even mad; that's amazing. How 'bout we get you in your p.j.'s and we hit the hay.
Ron Burgundy: I'm gonna punch you in the ovary, that's what I'm gonna do. A straight shot. Right to the babymaker.
Brian Fantana: No, she gets a special cologne... It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good. They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.
Ron Burgundy: Oh Audrey - I look like hell! I got bags under my eyes. What's that? Well if you were a man, I'd punch you. Punch you right in the mouth. That's bush. Bush league. YOU HEAR ME? AUDREY! LOOK AT ME! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Alright?
Ron Burgundy: You stay classy, San Diego. I'm Ron Burgundy?
Ron Burgundy: You are a smelly pirate hooker.
Announcer: You're watching Channel 4 News with five-time Emmy award-winning anchor Ron Burgundy and Tits McGee.
Office worker: Smells like Bigfoot's dick.
Brick: LOUD NOISES!
Seriously, how you someone NOT like this movie? And they're making a sequel!! ---> The Legend Continues...
"Smack destiny in the face"
Synopsis: Self-proclaimed stuntman Rod Kimble is preparing for the jump of his life - to clear fifteen buses to raise money for his abusive stepfather Frank's life-saving heart operation.
Andy Sandberg does some really funny stuff. His work on the digital shorts on SNL are just as legendary as some of the movies on this list. If you like half of the movies on this list then I totally recommend this movie.
"On July 15th, they're coming to your wedding...with or without invitations."
Synopsis: John Beckwith and Jeremy Grey, a pair of committed womanizers who sneak into weddings to take advantage of the romantic tinge in the air, find themselves at odds with one another when John meets and falls for Claire Cleary.
So this movie was not only funny, but started off with plenty of naked girls. Got me interested pretty quickly, especially in 2005 when I was barely in my 20's.
#10...
I'm leaving this spot open, because there are so many others I can think of that I would love to add to this list:










So this always happens to me... I am trying to make a list, and I come up with like a million others that I want to put on it. So suck it... This is my list and I know there are other great movies and many should be on this list and blah blah blah...
What other movies should've I had up here? I will be adding other movie lists soon about other genres so keep your pants on! And remember:
COMMENT PEOPLE!!
