Aka Give me some good comedies.
Swimming with Sharks
Black Dynamite
I'm really fond of Dirty Work, but no one else likes that movie. I guess it's something of a guilty pleasure. I just like Norm MacDonald too damn much.
I could probably do with some suggestions as well, cause what I listed is pretty much the extent of my comedy knowledge, save for Mel Brooks and stuff like Airplane and Hot Shots.
I love Inthe Company of Men, but I wouldn't exactly call it a rip roaring comedic romp.
MEAN GIRLS and SORORITY BOYS are both very funny, despite the way the posters make them both look like seat-filler pablum. MEAN GIRLS is a no-brainer now that Tina Fey's a thing, but I remember at the time being very surprised by how smart it was -- it's got a clear proto-30 ROCK sensibility.
I still have a big dumb place in my heart for Hot Rod
I also love Hot Rod... but I also saw Rad more times than was healthy as a little kid.
no idea on what you do and don't know, but here's some (some classics, some randoms):
Young Frankenstein
Where the Buffalo Roam
Trading Places
Top Secret
Three Amigos
Repo Man
The Police Squad (TV show - pre Naked Gun movies)
Fish Called Wanda
Spinal Tap
Fast Times at Ridgemont High (dated at this point, but still has some solid bits)
Brewster’s Millions
Splash.
Tootsie.
Any Woody Allen movie in his prime. Love and Death , Sleeper, Zelig are among my top three favorites.
Project A-KO- it started life as part of the first anime porn series (Cream Lemon), but at some point in development they realized they had something special so they dropped the sex and made a great comedy. And, yes, it's named after Jackie Chan's Project A.
The Irresponsible Captain Tylor- If you like your science fiction with large space battles, you might like this TV series. A very zen 20 year old joins the space forces because he wants a pension, and ends up in command of a ship as a major war breaks out. Can doing nothing and surrendering often win the war? Or at least get the girls?
Six String Samurai- a low budget movie about a Buddy Holly look alike who is traveling through post-WW III and Russian occupied America to reach Vegas and become the new King now that Elvis is dead. Lots of sword fighting and general coolness.
