00:00:00We're nothing but grains of sand.
00:00:03That was freaking transcendental, Paul McCartney.
00:00:06Don't you agree, John Lennon?
00:00:08Yes, Dewey Cox.
00:00:09With meditation, there's no limit to what we can imagine.
00:00:14Welcome to WatchMojo,
00:00:15and today we're counting down our picks for the films that make us laugh the most,
00:00:20even if they're not all the greatest movies ever made.
00:00:23We've considered their comedic performances,
00:00:25the strength of their humor,
00:00:26and their legacy and influence on the genre.
00:00:29Hey, Mom!
00:00:31The meatloaf!
00:00:32We want it now!
00:00:34The meatloaf!
00:00:37What is she doing?
00:00:38I never know what she's doing.
00:00:49Andy Samberg and his Lonely Island buddies
00:00:51are no strangers to underrated comedies like Popstar.
00:00:54In the group's 2007 collaboration,
00:00:56Samberg's Rod Kimble embraces his calling as a stuntman
00:00:59to raise funds for his stepfather.
00:01:01The lead comedian plays the hero as a trademark goofball,
00:01:05helped by a stellar cast including Bill Hader and Danny McBride.
00:01:09The film's central quest inspires the main character to do all kinds of wacky stunts.
00:01:14Starting right now, we're gonna fill this jug with five grand.
00:01:17Let's work!
00:01:18I've gone through changes.
00:01:20I've gone through pain.
00:01:22Through it all, we laugh as many of them go terribly wrong.
00:01:26Hot Rod also leans into an absurd sense of humor that's undeniably entertaining.
00:01:31With SNL veterans and other legends giving it their all,
00:01:34this over-the-top comedy reaches the finish line with flying colors.
00:01:38They've done it!
00:01:39They've raised $50,000 for Frank's conveniently priced surgery!
00:01:48Do you guys ever think about dying?
00:01:52When the titular doll starts to feel different,
00:01:55she travels to the real world to investigate.
00:01:58This premise kicks off a movie that is much more than a corporate cash-in.
00:02:02Greta Gerwig directs a film that celebrates and makes fun of the Barbie image.
00:02:07Tackling topics from commercialism to misogyny,
00:02:09she and co-writer Noah Baumbach create set pieces loaded with subversive humor.
00:02:19Margot Robbie's fantastic lead performance guides us through this surreal comedy.
00:02:24But let's not forget Ryan Gosling's hilarious turn as Ken.
00:02:27There was a minute where I thought it was run by horses.
00:02:30But then I realized that horses are just men extenders.
00:02:35The filmmakers find a way to make us laugh at Mattel's creation
00:02:38while delivering positive messages to women of all ages.
00:02:42That's not how I normally look. I usually look perfect.
00:02:47Oh, I don't know. I think you're just right.
00:03:02Poking fun at genre cliches,
00:03:04They Came Together is for rom-com lovers and haters.
00:03:07The story of Joel and Molly's relationship plays out as you might expect.
00:03:11In this story, the filmmakers decide to do it all in the most ridiculous way possible.
00:03:16The lead characters go through variations of the meet-cute and dates with funny twists.
00:03:21Every step of the way, the performers lean into the sappy dialogue
00:03:25and predictable plot for comedic effect.
00:03:27I'm sorry.
00:03:28You're sorry? I thought you were Joel.
00:03:30Actually, Joel is my middle name.
00:03:31Sorry is your first name?
00:03:32Billy is my first name.
00:03:34Your name is Billy Joel?
00:03:36Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler have fun alongside a long list of co-stars
00:03:40that include more than a few surprising cameos.
00:03:43As an effective parody,
00:03:44this movie feels like the perfect takedown of all the romantic tropes we've come to know and love.
00:03:49Well, what do you think?
00:03:52Should we give it another shot?
00:03:58Why not?
00:04:03Smell that fitness? I do.
00:04:05Rockin' and shockin', baby.
00:04:07You gotta burn it to earn it.
00:04:09To fight back against a corporate takeover,
00:04:12the working-class heroes of Average Joe's Gym compete in a dodgeball tournament.
00:04:16The sports film serves as an underdog story and an excuse for some amazing gags.
00:04:21Thankfully for the audience, the filmmakers use this as an opportunity to have fun.
00:04:26If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.
00:04:29What?
00:04:31Ow!
00:04:34Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller lead a cast of talented performers that roll with the punches.
00:04:39Or, in this case, wrenches.
00:04:41The training sequences alone will have you laughing as the characters transform into unlikely athletes.
00:04:47From physical comedy to surprise cameos,
00:04:50this movie throws out the rulebook to serve up some hilarious scenes.
00:04:54You got a shot.
00:05:01Oh, my God.
00:05:04Well, that's probably the way he would've wanted to go.
00:05:15Taking his SNL character to the big screen,
00:05:18Will Forte proves that the role deserves much more than a comedy sketch.
00:05:22The film gives Forte and his collaborators a chance to spread their wings and earn an R rating.
00:05:28When his nemesis steals a nuclear warhead,
00:05:30Magruber feels compelled to seek revenge and save the world.
00:05:41The comedian stops at nothing to get a laugh in sequences that fly in the face of good taste.
00:05:47Dixon Piper and Vicky St. Elmo both try to help,
00:05:50with extended jokes putting everyone in hilarious situations.
00:05:53The lead performer and Kristen Wiig are two standouts in a comedy that doesn't pull any punches.
00:06:23Set in the 1980s, this Adam Sandler vehicle features all kinds of references to the decade.
00:06:28It also lets the comedian sing and joke his way through an entertaining premise.
00:06:32His singer Robbie Hart finds himself at a crossroads,
00:06:35with his fiancee leaving him waiting at the altar and sending him into an emotional spiral.
00:06:40Sandler uses this to bring out his angry comic personality with more than a few memorable lines.
00:06:46Once again, things that could have been brought to my attention yesterday!
00:06:50Drew Barrymore plays the potential love interest that keeps Hart motivated.
00:06:54Along with the two great lead roles,
00:06:56the wedding singer makes sure to include a handful of supporting parts to keep things interesting.
00:07:01It might be underrated to some, but it's also nostalgic and hilarious.
00:07:06You know, I'm gonna tell this record company guys about you.
00:07:09Mind if I give her a kiss first?
00:07:11Oh yeah, do it, you gotta do it.
00:07:164. Napoleon Dynamite
00:07:26Some films come out of seemingly nowhere, giving viewers an entirely new experience.
00:07:31Napoleon Dynamite feels like a gift from an offbeat and parallel universe.
00:07:36Director Jared Hess adapted his short film into a feature about an awkward teenager,
00:07:41creating one of the most quotable movies of the 2000s.
00:07:47What's a liger?
00:07:49It's pretty much my favorite animal.
00:07:51It's like a lion and a tiger mixed,
00:07:53bred for its skills in magic.
00:07:55John Heder delivers a stubborn and hilarious role that only he could have played.
00:08:00Through his relationships with his family and friends,
00:08:03Dynamite comes to realize that his independent spirit might actually have value.
00:08:07It's funny, upbeat, and something truly special in a world full of rehashed ideas.
00:08:165. Tucker and Dale vs. Evil
00:08:31In this send-up of horror movies, two hillbillies find themselves as accidental villains.
00:08:36They both try to be nice despite coming off as evil to a group of college students.
00:08:40This misunderstanding establishes the script's central joke,
00:08:43juxtaposing Tucker and Dale's kind personalities with the over-the-top violence.
00:08:55The heroes' attempts to talk and even save the kids all fail in spectacular ways.
00:09:00With chainsaws and wood chippers,
00:09:02the comedy features a host of gags that will have any horror fan howling with laughter.
00:09:07The dark humor never lets up as the two leads watch the younger characters perish.
00:09:13Why didn't this mess up?
00:09:15Right now!
00:09:1892. It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
00:09:32Many comedies boast impressive casts,
00:09:34but few can rival the star power of this crazy adventure.
00:09:38Stanley Kramer's film includes almost every notable comic of the era,
00:09:42from Milton Berle to Mickey Rooney,
00:09:44this incredible lineup plays assorted misfits that race to a stash of buried money.
00:09:48There's also a handful of famous cameos that'll have you entertained until the very end.
00:10:02Characters crash cars, destroy gas stations,
00:10:05and cause all kinds of mayhem across an epic running time.
00:10:08The ridiculous premise allows for bold performances
00:10:11and a climax that takes physical comedy to the next level.
00:10:33At the start of this wacky story,
00:10:35Steve Martin's hero Navin Johnson tells the audience about his unexpected upbringing.
00:10:39This starts the delightfully absurd and hilarious adventure known as The Jerk.
00:10:44Martin's endearing character sets out to discover himself,
00:10:47running into trouble as he works odd jobs including one at a gas station.
00:11:00His unique worldview powers many of the film's funniest sequences,
00:11:04rising from rags to riches,
00:11:06Johnson tries to navigate success and romance without knowing what he's doing.
00:11:10The comedian plays the dim-witted man to perfection as a source of endless entertainment.
00:11:28With The Pink Panther, Peter Sellers created an enduring comedy role.
00:11:33The original film puts inspector Jacques Clouseau in more of a supporting position,
00:11:37but Sellers makes it a lead part by stealing every scene.
00:11:40The investigator searches for the jewel thief Sir Charles despite his own clumsiness.
00:11:45He struggles against his deceptive wife and Charles' nephew,
00:11:49presenting him with a few more chances to make some hilarious mistakes.
00:11:52There are also set pieces such as the party and chase scene,
00:11:56which put the inspector to the test.
00:12:04Director Blake Edwards lets the comedian run wild,
00:12:08setting up an enjoyable franchise full of even more wacky hijinks.
00:12:33He's so vain.
00:12:36You probably think this song is about you.
00:12:38Ben Barry, you're so vain.
00:13:04And if it's quote alright, I need you baby
00:13:08To warm the lonely night, I love you baby
00:13:12Trust in me when I say
00:13:19Yelling anything at a comedian is considered heckling.
00:13:23Heckling doesn't have to be negative.
00:13:25So if I yelled out like,
00:13:27You're amazing in bed,
00:13:29that'd be a heckle?
00:13:32Number 85
00:13:45For anybody who's considered going to their high school reunion,
00:13:48you'll find a lot to relate to about this film.
00:13:51Romy and Michelle are friends that don't have much direction in life.
00:13:54Before they go back to meet their classmates,
00:13:57the heroes create hilarious plans to reinvent themselves.
00:14:00The lead actresses Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino have amazing chemistry
00:14:04as their characters fake their way to success.
00:14:06So that means,
00:14:08if we want to burn 4,000 calories,
00:14:11we only have to run 20 miles a day.
00:14:14Taking a relatable feeling and stretching it for comedic effect,
00:14:18the movie plays with the anxieties of everyday people who want to be loved.
00:14:22It's also easy to enjoy with the addition of some incredible dance sequences.
00:14:27I'm in my bed, hear the clock tick and think of you.
00:14:34Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new.
00:14:41Number 84
00:14:57Number 83
00:15:15Number 82
00:15:27Number 81
00:15:41Number 80
00:15:49Inspired by the board game,
00:15:51this comedy brings together a group of blackmailed dinner guests to a mansion.
00:15:55They then scramble to figure out what's happening as people start dying.
00:15:59As an homage to classic murder mysteries,
00:16:01the movie thrills as much as it induces laughter.
00:16:17The eclectic ensemble lets the likes of Eileen Brennan,
00:16:20Madeline Kahn and Martin Mull bounce off each other with funny one-liners.
00:16:24There's also the whirlwind performance of Tim Curry
00:16:27that completely steals the show for the final analysis.
00:16:30It's pure entertainment that'll keep you guessing and smiling throughout.
00:16:44Number 79
00:16:55Number 78
00:17:12Number 77
00:17:25I have a really good idea.
00:17:27Why don't the two of you get into your time machine,
00:17:31go back in time and f**k each other?
00:17:36I want you.
00:17:37I beg your pardon.
00:17:38I've never wanted a woman this much.
00:17:40Oh, please, John. Please. Perhaps another time.
00:17:46It's not so bad with the singing and the playing and the shaking of the tukus.
00:17:50I think you've got what it takes to make it into big time.
00:17:55The big time?
00:17:58After biopics like Walk the Line,
00:18:00this movie chose to take a much different look at the rise of a musician.
00:18:04The fictional Dewey Cox rides a rollercoaster
00:18:06that mashes up the origins of Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan and more legends of music.
00:18:11It also completely makes fun of the genre's sometimes overwrought and pretentious elements.
00:18:16We were such good friends and he told me about that dream
00:18:19where you were licking my balls and that seemed like a signal.
00:18:22And I forgot.
00:18:25I'm leaving you, Dewey Cox, and I will see you in court.
00:18:30No, Edith, don't go!
00:18:32Cox is so narcissistic that you can't help but laugh
00:18:35watching him stumble his way through fame and different musical stylings.
00:18:39John C. Reilly's tour de force work makes this absurd fantasy come to life,
00:18:44giving the film its comedic anchor.
00:18:49Don't be a fool if you're lying.
00:18:53You will never be able to watch a music biopic the same way again.
00:18:58Am I still the man I used to be?
00:19:02And do I even want to be?
00:19:05You're still Dewey Cox.
00:19:10Can you be scary?
00:19:11Oh, I know the grasp of it. Can I be scary?
00:19:16What do you think of this?
00:19:19You like it?
00:19:23That bass player's a babe.
00:19:25She makes me feel kind of funny,
00:19:28like when we used to climb the rope in gym class.
00:19:34She will be mine.
00:19:36Oh, yes, she will be mine.
00:19:50Ah!
00:19:55That's what I love about these high school girls, man.
00:20:00I get older, they stay the same age.
00:20:03Yes, they do.
00:20:07All right.
00:20:08Through a night we'll never remember.
00:20:13But the four of us will never forget.
00:20:20Who knew a comedy could be this funny
00:20:22and even a little bit revolutionary?
00:20:24It's strange to think of The Hangover
00:20:26as anything more than a good time,
00:20:28but it also included an inventive plot.
00:20:30Three members of a bachelor party
00:20:32piece together their wild Vegas night
00:20:34while searching for the groom.
00:20:35This leads them down a hilarious investigation
00:20:38full of detours, stun guns, and blackjack.
00:20:41Why can't we remember a goddamn thing from last night?
00:20:45Because we obviously had a great f***ing time.
00:20:49Why don't you just stop worrying for one minute?
00:20:52You're proud of yourself.
00:20:54I don't know, Phil.
00:20:55Maybe it's because I'm missing a tooth.
00:20:57There's also a surprising cameo from boxer Mike Tyson,
00:21:01revealing himself to be a Phil Collins fan
00:21:04who has not lost his ability to fight.
00:21:06But I've been waiting for this moment
00:21:09for all my life.
00:21:11One more time, guys.
00:21:12Oh, Lord.
00:21:14Oh, shit!
00:21:17It's ultimately a fully loaded R-rated comedy
00:21:20that isn't afraid to go there.
00:21:22Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms,
00:21:24and especially Zach Galifianakis
00:21:26make this film one to remember.
00:21:32Who ordered the double cheese and sausage?
00:21:34Right here, dude.
00:21:36Here you go.
00:21:43See you, dude.
00:21:48Did Dookie Houser just steal my f***ing car?
00:21:54Yes.
00:21:56I think he did.
00:21:58No.
00:22:24What's your problem?
00:22:25You really want to know what my problem is?
00:22:27No.
00:22:28That was a rhetorical question.
00:22:30I don't want to know anything from you.
00:22:31We are not friends anymore.
00:22:33Oh.
00:22:34We are officially over.
00:22:36Oh, rats.
00:22:37Hey, I want my Juicy Sweatshirt back.
00:22:39It was way too loose around your chest anyway.
00:22:41Ooh, bird.
00:22:47So what do you do for a living, Neil Page?
00:22:50Marketing.
00:22:51Marketing. Super. Super.
00:22:53Fabulous.
00:22:54Isn't that nice?
00:22:57Look, I don't want to be rude,
00:22:58but I'm not much of a conversationalist,
00:23:00and I'd really like to finish this article.
00:23:02A friend of mine wrote it, so...
00:23:04Don't let me stand in your way.
00:23:05Please don't let me stand in your way.
00:23:07When Neil Page and Del Griffith
00:23:08need to get home for Thanksgiving,
00:23:10they form a troubled alliance to make the trip.
00:23:12The businessmen are complete opposites,
00:23:14leading to some classic comedy
00:23:16thanks to writer and director John Hughes.
00:23:18Steve Martin and John Candy
00:23:19are an incredible comic team
00:23:21that redefines the definition of an odd couple.
00:23:24Why are you holding my hand?
00:23:28Where's your other hand?
00:23:30Between two pillows.
00:23:33Those aren't pillows.
00:23:36Along the way,
00:23:37their schemes put them in various vehicles
00:23:39that proved to be dangerous and hilarious.
00:23:41Candy in particular steals the movie
00:23:43with his unfiltered, wholesome,
00:23:45and unforgettable personality.
00:23:47Planes, trains, and automobiles
00:23:48lets the two actors prove
00:23:50why they are comedy icons.
00:23:54Next.
00:23:55By Grampthor's hammer.
00:23:56By the sons of Worvan.
00:23:57I shall avenge you.
00:24:04By Grampthor's hammer.
00:24:07Next.
00:24:08Number 63.
00:24:10The Nice Guys.
00:24:11Tali, this is not you.
00:24:13You're not a murderer.
00:24:15She just said she killed three people.
00:24:17I know, but I'm saying deep down.
00:24:19Hey, look, one's a mistake.
00:24:20By the time you get to three,
00:24:21you're a murderer.
00:24:22Don't paint her with that brush.
00:24:23It's easy to live in your world, right,
00:24:24where everyone sits in a place
00:24:25and they don't hold people.
00:24:27She's got a gun.
00:24:28Number 62.
00:24:29The Blues Brothers.
00:24:31Elwood, we show your license
00:24:33currently under suspension.
00:24:34Step out of the car, please.
00:24:50Number 61.
00:24:51Clerks.
00:24:52Are either one of these any good?
00:24:56Sir?
00:24:57What?
00:24:58Are either one of these any good?
00:25:00I don't watch movies.
00:25:02Well, have you heard anything
00:25:03about either one of them?
00:25:05I find it's best to stay out
00:25:06of other people's affairs.
00:25:08Number 60.
00:25:09Deadpool.
00:25:10Hey!
00:25:11Oh!
00:25:12Oh, hello.
00:25:14I know, right?
00:25:16Whose balls did I have to fondle
00:25:17to get my very own movie?
00:25:19I can't tell you,
00:25:20but it does rhyme with pulverine.
00:25:23Boldly going where few superhero movies
00:25:25went before,
00:25:26Deadpool was a breath of fresh air
00:25:28for comic book fans.
00:25:29It also helped remind people
00:25:31that an R-rated comedy
00:25:32can be a blockbuster.
00:25:33Ryan Reynolds was arguably born
00:25:35to play the lead hero,
00:25:36giving a running commentary
00:25:37as the quippy Wade Wilson.
00:25:39Let us go talk to the professor.
00:25:41McAvoy or Stewart,
00:25:43these timelines are so confusing.
00:25:46The ultraviolence,
00:25:47meta-jokes,
00:25:48and irreverent tone
00:25:49combine to make something
00:25:50close to groundbreaking.
00:25:52Parodying the genre
00:25:53and indulging in its cliches,
00:25:55the film breaks Wilson down
00:25:56and builds him back up
00:25:57as a snarky warrior.
00:25:59Reynolds finds a way
00:26:00to be heroic
00:26:01and break the fourth wall
00:26:02while laying a foundation
00:26:03for some funny sequels.
00:26:05Wade?
00:26:06Is that you?
00:26:07Yeah, it's me, Deadpool,
00:26:08and I got an offer
00:26:09that you can't refuse!
00:26:14I'm gonna wait out here, okay?
00:26:15It's a big house.
00:26:16It's funny that I only ever
00:26:17see two of you.
00:26:18It's almost like
00:26:19the studio couldn't afford
00:26:20another X-Men.
00:26:25What number are we thinking of?
00:26:2869, dudes!
00:26:39Jim, I want to talk
00:26:40about masturbation.
00:26:42Now, I just want you to know
00:26:43that it's a perfectly
00:26:45normal thing,
00:26:47and I have to admit,
00:26:48you know,
00:26:49I did a fair bit of
00:26:51masturbating
00:26:52when I was a little younger.
00:26:54I used to call it
00:26:55the stroking the salami.
00:26:57Yeah, you know,
00:26:58pounding the oat,
00:26:59but I never did it
00:27:01with baked goods.
00:27:06I was reading some figures
00:27:07from the Sickness and Action
00:27:08Claims Division.
00:27:09Do you know that
00:27:10the average New Yorker
00:27:11between the ages of 20 and 50
00:27:12has two and a half calls a year?
00:27:14That makes me feel
00:27:15just terrible.
00:27:16Well, to make the figures
00:27:17come out even,
00:27:18if I have no calls a year,
00:27:19some poor slob must have
00:27:20five calls a year.
00:27:21Yeah, it's me.
00:27:26I hereby place you
00:27:27under arrest for the murder
00:27:28of Madame Celine Villeneuve
00:27:29to Gotham Taxis.
00:27:30I knew there was
00:27:31something fishy.
00:27:32We never got the cause of death.
00:27:33She's been murdered,
00:27:35and you think I did it.
00:27:42Well, at last I got out
00:27:44and I came up here to tell you.
00:27:47I guess there isn't
00:27:48any more to the story.
00:27:51So long, Walter.
00:27:52So long, Ellie.
00:27:54And better luck to you
00:27:55next time.
00:27:56Thanks.
00:27:57Fast-paced and sharply written,
00:27:59His Girl Friday represents
00:28:00a highlight of
00:28:01Golden Age Hollywood.
00:28:02Cary Grant stars
00:28:03as the newspaper editor
00:28:04trying to keep his ex-wife
00:28:05around for one more job.
00:28:07Adapted from the play
00:28:08The Front Page,
00:28:09this snappy film
00:28:10keeps you engaged
00:28:11with its verbal sparring.
00:28:12Grant is as good as ever
00:28:14with a comic persona
00:28:15that brought to life
00:28:16other classics
00:28:17like Bringing Up Baby.
00:28:18Couldn't you hear me, Susan?
00:28:20Oh!
00:28:22Susan!
00:28:24Oh!
00:28:26Rosalind Russell
00:28:27holds her own
00:28:28as the editor's
00:28:29former partner,
00:28:30matching the lead's
00:28:31comedic timing and charms.
00:28:33It's an effective comedy
00:28:34that flies by
00:28:35with excellent source material.
00:28:37Did you get a hold
00:28:38of a bunch of comedy yet?
00:28:39Look, if you don't need sympathy
00:28:40or understanding,
00:28:42there's only one question
00:28:43I want to know.
00:28:44Walter,
00:28:45the mayor's first wife,
00:28:46what was her name?
00:28:47You mean the one
00:28:48with the wart on her?
00:28:49Fanny.
00:28:50What did you say, Duffy?
00:29:07To the right!
00:29:11Ah!
00:29:13Ooh!
00:29:15Number 52,
00:29:16National Lampoon's
00:29:17Christmas Vacation.
00:29:21Hallelujah!
00:29:23Hallelujah!
00:29:25Hallelujah!
00:29:26Hallelujah!
00:29:27Hallelujah!
00:29:30Hallelujah!
00:29:33Hallelujah!
00:29:35Number 51,
00:29:36Dumb and Dumber.
00:29:38Hey,
00:29:39wanna hear the most
00:29:40annoying sound in the world?
00:29:43Ah!
00:29:45Guys!
00:29:46Guys!
00:29:47Guys!
00:29:48Number 50,
00:29:49Mean Girls.
00:29:56Inspired by
00:29:57a self-help book
00:29:58and Tina Fey's own life,
00:29:59this comedy might be
00:30:00the definitive
00:30:01high school film
00:30:02of the 2000s.
00:30:03The movie is
00:30:04a widely referenced
00:30:05pop culture juggernaut
00:30:06that never fails
00:30:07to make us laugh.
00:30:08It follows the journey
00:30:09of one teenager
00:30:10who falls in
00:30:11with a popular group
00:30:12of girls
00:30:13and slowly turns bad.
00:30:14I knew how this would be
00:30:15settled in the animal world.
00:30:23The performances
00:30:24from the cast,
00:30:25especially Rachel McAdams
00:30:26as Regina George,
00:30:27stand alone
00:30:28as memorable.
00:30:29Mean Girls
00:30:30isn't just an iconic
00:30:31quote machine either.
00:30:32It also features
00:30:33many universal themes
00:30:34about friendship
00:30:35and acceptance.
00:30:36Fey's script
00:30:37is a fantastic blend
00:30:38of hilarious gags
00:30:39and natural humor
00:30:40about the most awkward
00:30:41years of our lives.
00:30:59Number 49,
00:31:00My Cousin Vinny.
00:31:08What was that word?
00:31:10Uh, what word?
00:31:12To what?
00:31:13What?
00:31:15Did you say ute?
00:31:16Yeah, two utes.
00:31:18What is a ute?
00:31:19Oh, excuse me, Your Honor.
00:31:22Two youths.
00:31:25Number 48,
00:31:26Paddington.
00:31:33You!
00:31:35What do you think you're doing?
00:31:39Get away from here!
00:31:40Leave my dog alone!
00:31:46Oh, that's nonsense.
00:31:47On a day like this,
00:31:48I'll buy you anything you want.
00:31:49Anything I want?
00:31:51I'll have to change my shoes.
00:31:52I'll buy you a pen.
00:31:53I have no pens.
00:31:54I'll buy you sandals.
00:31:55Armand!
00:31:56What's going on?
00:31:57Why can't we go home?
00:31:59Nothing.
00:32:01Nothing at all.
00:32:02Well, then I'll see you upstairs.
00:32:04Number 46,
00:32:05The General.
00:32:08The General.
00:32:29Number 45,
00:32:30Best in Show.
00:32:31This is, of course,
00:32:32the first of seven groups
00:32:33that we'll see this evening
00:32:35as the dogs progress
00:32:36towards the Best in Show title.
00:32:38Christopher Guest
00:32:39directed many improvised comedies,
00:32:41including the endearing
00:32:42Waiting for Guffman.
00:32:43He later brought back
00:32:44several performers
00:32:45from that project
00:32:46to make Best in Show.
00:32:47As a group of dog owners
00:32:48converge on Philadelphia,
00:32:50they each bring
00:32:51their own eccentric
00:32:52personalities with them.
00:32:53Guest follows the preparation
00:32:55and competition closely
00:32:56as the characters
00:32:57try to keep their cool.
00:32:58I'm a little nervous right now.
00:33:00This is, uh,
00:33:01there's a lot at stake.
00:33:03You know, we've had two wins.
00:33:05This would be our third.
00:33:07And, um, I'm making,
00:33:08I'm making Leslie nervous.
00:33:10I'm making myself very nervous.
00:33:12Letting the actors run free in scenes,
00:33:15the filmmaker allows
00:33:16for more spontaneity
00:33:17as diverse contestants mingle.
00:33:19There's also Fred Willard
00:33:20delivering unforgettable commentary
00:33:22as the announcer.
00:33:24Wow, look at the size of that.
00:33:25I've taken sponge baths
00:33:26in smaller bowls than that.
00:33:28This, this, this really is
00:33:29the defining moment
00:33:30of this competition.
00:33:32Number 44,
00:33:33My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
00:33:35Didn't I say
00:33:37it's a mistake
00:33:39to educate women?
00:33:41But, nobody listen to me.
00:33:45Now, we have a boyfriend
00:33:48in the house.
00:33:49Is he nice Greek boy?
00:33:52Ho, ho, no, no Greek.
00:33:55Number 43,
00:33:56Office Space.
00:33:57Back up in your ass
00:33:58with the resurrection.
00:34:00Is the group harder
00:34:01than an erection
00:34:02that shows no affection?
00:34:03They want to ban us
00:34:04on Capitol Hill
00:34:05because it's
00:34:06die mother f***er,
00:34:07die mother f***er.
00:34:08Number 42,
00:34:09Ghostbusters.
00:34:17Well, there's something
00:34:18you don't see every day.
00:34:19I tried to think
00:34:20of the most harmless thing.
00:34:21Something I loved
00:34:22from my childhood.
00:34:23Something that could never,
00:34:24ever possibly destroy us.
00:34:26Mr. Stay Puft.
00:34:29Number 41,
00:34:30Hot Fuzz.
00:34:33Morning.
00:34:48Number 40,
00:34:49Doctor Strangelove.
00:34:51I can no longer sit back
00:34:52and allow
00:34:54communist infiltration,
00:34:56communist indoctrination,
00:34:59communist subversion,
00:35:03and the international
00:35:04communist conspiracy
00:35:07to sap and impurify
00:35:10all of our precious
00:35:11bodily fluids.
00:35:13While satirizing
00:35:14a serious subject,
00:35:15Stanley Kubrick
00:35:16created a masterpiece
00:35:17about Cold War hysteria.
00:35:19A rogue general
00:35:20initiates a possible
00:35:21nuclear scenario
00:35:22as the president
00:35:23tries to stop him.
00:35:24Led by the brilliant
00:35:25Peter Sellers,
00:35:26this film includes
00:35:27some spectacular work
00:35:28from Sterling Hayden
00:35:29and especially George C. Scott.
00:35:31The entire premise
00:35:32strikes both fear and laughs
00:35:33into viewers' hearts.
00:35:34Mr. Presidency,
00:35:35technology required
00:35:37is easily within the means
00:35:39of even the smallest
00:35:41nuclear power.
00:35:43It requires
00:35:45only the will
00:35:46to do so.
00:35:48Sellers plays
00:35:49three distinct roles,
00:35:51selling each of them
00:35:52as only a master
00:35:53of film comedy could.
00:35:54His outrageous dialogue
00:35:55as the title doctor
00:35:57is worth the price
00:35:58of admission alone.
00:35:59Along with envisioning
00:36:00Doomsday,
00:36:01Dr. Strangelove succeeds
00:36:02by letting crazed characters
00:36:04loose in the war room.
00:36:31Number 38
00:36:32There's Something About Mary
00:36:49Number 37
00:36:50Ace Ventura Pet Detective
00:37:01Number 36
00:37:02Tropic Thunder
00:37:28Number 38
00:37:29Number 35
00:37:30What We Do In The Shadows
00:37:46Directed by Taika Waititi,
00:37:48What We Do In The Shadows
00:37:49is a horror movie
00:37:50like no other.
00:37:51It mixes the style
00:37:52of a mockumentary
00:37:53with a comedy about vampires.
00:37:55With this combination,
00:37:56the film really stands out
00:37:58for its comic moments
00:37:59between the sharp-toothed roommates.
00:38:01They also have
00:38:02some comical run-ins
00:38:03with their werewolf rivals.
00:38:13As they try to live
00:38:14among humans,
00:38:15the heroes deal with
00:38:16all of the usual problems
00:38:17you'd expect from vampire lore.
00:38:19Waititi and his co-stars
00:38:20are lovable characters
00:38:21that transcend
00:38:22the usual cliches
00:38:23about the villainous creatures.
00:38:25His versatile approach
00:38:26to comedy storytelling
00:38:27also created
00:38:28the award-winning
00:38:29Jojo Rabbit.
00:38:42Number 34
00:38:43Groundhog Day
00:38:57Then put your little hand in mine
00:39:00Number 33
00:39:01Ferris Bueller's Day Off
00:39:04Incredible.
00:39:05One of the worst performances
00:39:06of my career
00:39:07and they never doubted it
00:39:08for a second.
00:39:15How could I possibly be expected
00:39:16to handle school
00:39:17on a day like this?
00:39:19Number 32
00:39:20Austin Powers
00:39:21International Man of Mystery
00:39:23My name is Richie Cunningham
00:39:26and this is my wife, Oprah.
00:39:30My name is Number 2.
00:39:32This is my Italian
00:39:33confidential secretary.
00:39:35Her name is Alotta.
00:39:37Alotta for China.
00:39:40Come again?
00:39:41Number 31
00:39:42Clueless
00:39:44Cher, get in here.
00:39:45What's up, Daddy?
00:39:46What the hell is that?
00:39:47A dress.
00:39:48Says who?
00:39:49Calvin Klein.
00:39:51Number 30
00:39:52Duck Soup
00:39:53Hello, members of the cabinet.
00:39:54We'll take up all business.
00:39:56I wish to discuss the tariff.
00:39:57Sit down, that's new business.
00:39:59No old business?
00:40:00Very well.
00:40:01Then we'll take up new business.
00:40:02No about that tariff.
00:40:03Too late, that's old business already.
00:40:05Sit down.
00:40:06If you want zany comedies,
00:40:07look no further
00:40:08than the Marx Brothers.
00:40:10Their work here is often regarded
00:40:11as one of their best
00:40:12alongside other entries
00:40:13like the entertaining
00:40:14A Night at the Opera.
00:40:16Duck Soup follows the reign
00:40:17of Rufus T. Firefly,
00:40:19taking over the country
00:40:20of Fredonia
00:40:21and plunging it into war.
00:40:22This is a fact
00:40:23we can't ignore.
00:40:24We're going to war.
00:40:25This is a fact
00:40:26we can't ignore.
00:40:27We're going to war.
00:40:28In case you haven't heard before,
00:40:29I think they think
00:40:30we're going to war.
00:40:31I think they think
00:40:32we're going to war.
00:40:33We're going to war.
00:40:34The political satire
00:40:35isn't taken too seriously
00:40:37as Groucho, Chico, Harpo, and Zeppo
00:40:39wreak havoc on the rulebook.
00:40:41Full of fun one-liners and gags,
00:40:43the movie features
00:40:44one of the group's
00:40:45most famous routines
00:40:46with a mirror.
00:40:47There's something for everyone here
00:40:49as sharp dialogue,
00:40:50physical comedy,
00:40:51and music fill the screen.
00:40:53General Smith reports a gas attack.
00:40:54He wants to know what to do.
00:40:55Tell him to take a teaspoon
00:40:56full of bicarbonate soda
00:40:57and a half a glass of water.
00:40:58Yes, sir.
00:40:59Number 29,
00:41:00The Naked Gun
00:41:01from the Files of Police Squad.
00:41:04Lawrence of Azkaban plays
00:41:21Number 28,
00:41:22School of Rock.
00:41:24That's what I'm talking about.
00:41:26OK, let's do it again
00:41:28from You're Not Hardcore.
00:41:30When you're not hardcore
00:41:32No, you're not hardcore, unless you live hardcore, unless you live hardcore, and the letter of the wrench was way hardcore, yeah!
00:41:43Number 27, Back to the Future
00:41:46Jump, jump, it's Marvin, your cousin Marvin Barry, you know that new sound you're looking for? Well, listen to this!
00:42:03Number 26, Step Brothers
00:42:21Number 25, Annie Hall
00:42:23I think I'm gonna get better as I get older, you know, I think I'm gonna be the balding virile type, you know, as opposed to, say, the distinguished gray, for instance, you know, unless I'm neither of those two.
00:42:34While he directed great films before this one, Woody Allen arguably upped his game with Annie Hall.
00:42:40The Oscar-winning movie examines Albie Singer's life and relationship with a remarkable woman.
00:42:45Allen uses flashbacks, fourth wall breaks, and other inventive methods to analyze where it all went wrong.
00:42:50The filmmaker's direction and writing maximize the comedic potential of this romantic story.
00:42:55The medium enters in as a condition of the art form itself.
00:42:59Well, to me, I mean, it's all instinctive, you know, I mean, I just try to feel it, you know, I try to get a sense of it and not think about it.
00:43:09Diane Keaton's amazing turn as Hall gives Singer a fantastic partner, bringing charm and nuance to the female lead.
00:43:16It's as hilarious as it is introspective, earning laughs through the human moments that come with falling in and out of love.
00:43:23Max, will you forget about Annie? I know lots of women you can date.
00:43:27I don't want to go out with any other women.
00:43:29Max, I have got a girl for you. You are going to love her.
00:43:47Number 23, 21 Jump Street.
00:43:49You're the new kid who's all counting on track.
00:43:52Yes, I'm Doug McQuaid, the track star, and this is Brad, the science prodigy.
00:44:07Was this funny to you guys?
00:44:11Number 22, Monty Python's Life of Brian.
00:44:14You're all different.
00:44:16Yes, we are all different.
00:44:19I'm not.
00:44:22You've all got to work it out for yourself.
00:44:26Yes, we've got to work it out for ourselves.
00:44:30Number 21, The 40-Year-Old Virgin.
00:44:34¿Cómo se llama?
00:44:36No, Kelly Clarkson.
00:44:42Number 20, Coming to America.
00:44:45Take us to Queens at once.
00:44:51Are you sure you guys want to go to Queens?
00:44:54A couple of rich fellas like you should be in Manhattan.
00:44:57When Prince Akeem goes to America to find a wife,
00:45:00he realizes that the Western country is not necessarily paradise.
00:45:04It's also full of hilarious moments courtesy of Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall.
00:45:08The two actors fill out the cast of memorable characters
00:45:11that give the main hero a unique view of the U.S.
00:45:14With an enjoyable premise, Murphy is free to play all kinds of crazy people,
00:45:18from barbers to singers.
00:45:28His versatile performances here range from complete innocence
00:45:31to completely out of control.
00:45:33He's at the top of his game here in the decade that made him a comedy icon.
00:45:37I renounce my throne!
00:45:43Does this make you happy?
00:45:52Number 19, Elf.
00:45:55Bringing laughs and holiday cheer to audiences,
00:45:58Elf feels like a welcome addition to the cinematic Christmas canon.
00:46:02Will Ferrell plays the main character who discovers he's actually a human.
00:46:06Journeying to New York to find his father,
00:46:08Buddy learns about everyday life in the Big Apple the hard way.
00:46:11He also falls in love with Zooey Deschanel's department store employee.
00:46:15I really can't stay.
00:46:18Get out! Don't look at me!
00:46:20Ferrell's boundless cheer cannot be overstated here.
00:46:23He injects the hero with a bubbly personality,
00:46:26adding to the hilarity of this fish-out-of-water story.
00:46:29We can't help but wonder if Ferrell's character is a little too much for the rest of the cast.
00:46:34The cast of Elf is a little too much for the rest of the cast.
00:46:37It's a little too much for the rest of the cast.
00:46:40It's a little too much for the rest of the cast.
00:46:43It's a little too much for the rest of the cast.
00:46:47We can't imagine another December without the relentless positivity of this family comedy.
00:46:52Santa!
00:46:54Michael, please, what's the big deal?
00:46:56Dad?
00:46:58Santa Claus is coming to town!
00:47:12It happened one night.
00:47:15If you'd ask me real nice, I might put that bag up there for you.
00:47:23The modern rom-com might as well have started here.
00:47:26Two opposing forces find themselves on an adventure together,
00:47:29going from enemies to lovers by the end.
00:47:32Frank Capra's classic stars Clark Gable as a desperate reporter
00:47:36on the trail of the rich runaway Claudette Colbert.
00:47:38Their road trip allows them to get to know each other,
00:47:41pitting their witty personalities against each other and making way for romance.
00:47:56The movie also famously won the Big Five Oscars, including Best Picture.
00:48:00Contemporary audiences will be surprised by how much this film still works.
00:48:11It was a horn and eyelet cafeteria.
00:48:14And this beautiful girl walked in, and I turned to Arthur,
00:48:19and I said, Arthur, you see that girl?
00:48:22I'm going to marry her.
00:48:24Few movies can capture the real complexities of relationships
00:48:28while also being very romantic.
00:48:31It's a story about a man and a woman,
00:48:34and it's a story about a man and a woman,
00:48:37and it's a story about a man and a woman,
00:48:41when Harry Met Sally manages to do just that,
00:48:44presenting a realistic story that's full of humanity and genuine laughs.
00:49:01The main characters find themselves contemplating friendship, romance and gender politics.
00:49:06After a while, it becomes clear that they should be together forever.
00:49:09Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan play their roles perfectly,
00:49:12fighting with each other through engaging conversations.
00:49:15There's also the undeniable power of sequences such as the quotable deli scene.
00:49:22Nora Ephron's brilliant script meshes perfectly with Rob Reiner's direction,
00:49:26giving future filmmakers a new benchmark for the genre.
00:49:40Not all high school movies are built the same.
00:49:43Superbad could have just as easily been forgettable,
00:49:46but the script by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg
00:49:49lets the player experience the feeling of a new beginning.
00:49:52It's a story about a man and a woman,
00:49:55and it's a story about a man and a woman,
00:49:58and it's a story about a man and a woman,
00:50:01and it's a story about a man and a woman,
00:50:04and it's a story about a man and a woman,
00:50:07Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg lets the performers work with some hilarious material.
00:50:11Jonah Hill and Michael Cera shine as two friends desperate to buy alcohol and go to a party.
00:50:26Along the way, they deal with their inept friend Fogel and his attempts to get a fake ID.
00:50:30Their night truly becomes a chaotic escapade that's nothing short of iconic.
00:50:35Everything from the two cops hanging out to the crazy party makes this film stand out from the pack.
00:51:05As the first entry in the Cornetto trilogy,
00:51:08Shot of the Dead spoofs the finer details of zombie films.
00:51:12Director Edgar Wright shows you what happens when slackers discover an outbreak.
00:51:16Their reaction to the news is one thing,
00:51:19but it's even funnier to watch them battle the undead.
00:51:29Their plans to survive don't go exactly to plan
00:51:32and prompt an adventure to prove themselves.
00:51:35Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are perfect as Sean and Ed,
00:51:38bringing their British humor to a blood-soaked plot.
00:51:41This unique blend of jokes and terror breathes new life into a well-worn genre.
00:52:03At the end of the 1970s,
00:52:05some of the best comic minds of the decade came together to make Animal House.
00:52:09It arguably remains the definitive comedy about the college experience.
00:52:13The infamous Delta House organizes crazy parties,
00:52:16but they also endure the wrath of Dean Wormer.
00:52:33This movie also helped to turn the toga into an iconic costume for any party.
00:52:38Most importantly, it highlighted the comedic talents of John Belushi as Udo.
00:52:42The film tells an underdog story that includes famous gags,
00:52:45catchy music and hilarious lines.
00:53:02Enough!
00:53:09You could even say it stirred up a style of comedy all its own,
00:53:12paving the way for decades of knockoffs and frat boy imitators.
00:53:29From the mind of Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder,
00:53:31Young Frankenstein might be the quintessential horror parody.
00:53:34This send-up of the monster series follows what happens
00:53:37when another member of the Frankensteins takes up the family business.
00:53:41Wilder plays the hero scientist,
00:53:43using his best acting skills to deliver a virtuoso performance.
00:54:02It could work!
00:54:08He earns laughs along with the all-star cast that includes
00:54:11Cloris Leachman, Madeleine Kahn and Marty Feldman.
00:54:14There's even a scene that proves Gene Hackman can be funny.
00:54:17Those two?
00:54:18Yes.
00:54:19Long friendship.
00:54:27How hungry you must have been.
00:54:30The endless gags managed to be both a brilliant nod to the genre
00:54:33and a fantastic stand-alone experience.
00:54:55Robin Williams is electric in so many films,
00:54:58but this one captures one of his funniest performances.
00:55:01When a divorced father wants to spend more time with his kids,
00:55:04he decides to become their nanny.
00:55:06Williams transforms into an older British woman
00:55:09who's got her own spunky personality.
00:55:11He's literally on fire here,
00:55:13unafraid to go the extra mile for a great gag.
00:55:29The terrorists, they ran that way. It was a run by fruiting.
00:55:32Allowing the comedian to show off his wit and physical comedy,
00:55:35Mrs. Doubtfire feels like a perfect showcase for his talents.
00:55:38He finds a way to play a convincing dual role
00:55:41in a highlight of his 1990s filmography.
00:55:44Euphogenia Doubtfire, dear.
00:55:46I specialize in the education and entertainment of children.
00:55:53Surprise!
00:55:58Surprise!
00:56:04Surprise!
00:56:11Surprise!
00:56:13Most of Charlie Chaplin's films deliver on his talent for physical comedy,
00:56:17including City Lights and The Great Dictator.
00:56:19Modern Times is no different,
00:56:21but it also has a larger message about society,
00:56:24labor and industrialization.
00:56:28Surprise!
00:56:32Surprise!
00:56:36His assembly line worker battles against the innovations
00:56:39that might put him out of a job.
00:56:41With satire and slapstick,
00:56:43Chaplin turns a factory into the perfect breeding ground for comedy.
00:56:46Memorable sights include his hero entering the bowels of industrial machines
00:56:50or even roller skating near a precarious drop-off.
00:56:59Surprise!
00:57:09Even as the sound era was well underway,
00:57:12the filmmaker chose to blend in silent sequences
00:57:14about the wonder and horrors awaiting society.
00:57:20To my bridesmaids.
00:57:21Cheers!
00:57:25With an amazing ensemble,
00:57:27Bridesmaids gives some of the funniest people on Earth a chance to shine.
00:57:31Kristen Wiig's hero struggles to realize
00:57:33that her friend is getting married and moving on without her.
00:57:36On top of that,
00:57:37the film gives Wiig an opportunity to work alongside Maya Rudolph,
00:57:40Rose Byrne and Melissa McCarthy.
00:57:43Hey, how's it going?
00:57:44It's going great.
00:57:45It's going great.
00:57:46I'm on the mend.
00:57:47You know, I just got some pins in my legs.
00:57:49Believe it or not,
00:57:50pins in my legs can still do this.
00:57:52Right?
00:57:53A maze fell off a cruise ship.
00:57:55The latter gives an Oscar-nominated performance,
00:57:58which only makes scenes like the plane ride that much better.
00:58:01We haven't even mentioned the food poisoning sequence,
00:58:04turning a fun comedy into an unforgettable one.
00:58:07Throw in a cameo from Wilson Phillips
00:58:09and you have a certified classic.
00:58:13Some day somebody's gonna make you wanna turn around and say goodbye.
00:58:17Until then, baby,
00:58:19are you gonna let him hold you down and make you cry?
00:58:24It's no use.
00:58:25We're not gonna get away with it.
00:58:26My name is Josephine,
00:58:27and this was your idea in the first place.
00:58:29In creating this classic film,
00:58:31director Billy Wilder reminded everyone
00:58:33why he is a master of his craft.
00:58:36The filmmaker puts Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis
00:58:38in two of their finest roles.
00:58:40Both actors play musicians who need to skip town,
00:58:43taking a job posing as women.
00:58:45They end up traveling to Florida with Marilyn Monroe's Sugar
00:58:49while trying to keep up their disguises.
00:58:51Part of the comedy comes from their constant need to pretend,
00:58:54creating new personas that prompt hilarious scenes.
00:58:57What did he say?
00:58:59So the one-legged jockey said,
00:59:01don't worry about me, baby,
00:59:03I ride side-saddle.
00:59:07Lemmon especially gets huge laughs
00:59:09as his female alter ego becomes the target of an older man.
00:59:12Even if the overall package hasn't aged perfectly,
00:59:16the script still has enough comedy to remain timeless.
00:59:19But you don't understand, Osgood.
00:59:22I'm a man.
00:59:25Well, nobody's perfect.
00:59:31I just want to understand this, sir.
00:59:33Every time a rug is micturated upon in this fair city,
00:59:37I have to compensate the person?
00:59:39Come on, man, I'm not trying to scam anybody here.
00:59:42Written and directed by the Coen brothers,
00:59:44this film stands as one of their best dark comedies
00:59:47next to other gems like Burn After Reading.
00:59:49It follows the trials and tribulations of a bowler known as The Dude.
00:59:53That or His Dude-ness or Duder or, you know, El Duderino,
00:59:59if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
01:00:01When he's mistaken for a wealthy man,
01:00:03the hero finds himself inside a mystery about an alleged kidnapping.
01:00:06He also wants to find out about why someone would ruin his rug.
01:00:10Dude does get some help from two loyal and lovable friends,
01:00:14but they hopelessly fumble through the plot.
01:00:16Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi,
01:00:19and the rest of the cast deliver in big and small roles.
01:00:22The level of detail here makes every odd joke even funnier
01:00:26and every surprise turn more satisfying.
01:00:30I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that.
01:00:34It's good knowing he's out there, The Dude,
01:00:38taking it easy for all us sinners.
01:00:52Whether or not it invented the format,
01:00:54This Is Spinal Tap helped to popularize the idea of the mockumentary.
01:00:58The film also relies on a talented cast who largely improvise their lines.
01:01:03Director Rob Reiner comes together with Christopher Guest,
01:01:06Michael McKeon, and Harry Shearer to create magic.
01:01:09As you can see, the numbers all go to 11.
01:01:14Look, right across the board.
01:01:1611, 11, 11...
01:01:19Amps go up to 10.
01:01:20Exactly.
01:01:21Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
01:01:23Well, it's one louder, isn't it?
01:01:25The latter three don wigs and convincing accents
01:01:28to portray a British band that's fading out.
01:01:30Each actor plays it completely straight
01:01:33as they talk about dying drummers and amps that go to 11.
01:01:36It's jam-packed with quotes,
01:01:37making for a hilarious experience you'll want to revisit again and again.
01:01:41The improvisation is so impressive that it inspired so much comedy after it.
01:01:46But few projects can match this original vision.
01:01:49Well, it's down at the end of Lonely Street,
01:01:52that heartbreak hotel.
01:01:55Do it with the harmony parts.
01:01:57Right.
01:01:58Well, since my baby...
01:02:00The same key, though, I think.
01:02:02Well, since my baby left me...
01:02:05Number six, The Princess Bride.
01:02:07I shall marry a lady who was once a commoner like yourselves.
01:02:13But perhaps you will not find her common now.
01:02:19Taking a different look at the usual fairy tale,
01:02:21The Princess Bride gives a much more comedic tone.
01:02:24The rich cast of characters includes everyone from Wesleyan Buttercup
01:02:28to the fun supporting characters like Inigo Montoya.
01:02:30I'm going to do him left-handed.
01:02:32You know what a hurry we're in!
01:02:34Well, it's the only way I can be satisfied.
01:02:36If I use my right, over to Whitley.
01:02:39Director Rob Reiner brings this all together
01:02:42by sticking to the fantastic script by William Goldman.
01:02:45There's the initial chase with the hilarious Wallace Shawn,
01:02:48but then later you get funny scenes from Billy Crystal as Miracle Max.
01:02:51We're in a terrible rush.
01:02:53Don't rush me, sonny.
01:02:54You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles.
01:02:56This doesn't even mention Peter Falk's delightful turn
01:02:59as the grandfather telling the story.
01:03:01Both smart and silly,
01:03:02the tale includes iconic lines and sequences
01:03:05that still excite to this day.
01:03:07Number five, Borat.
01:03:10I'm Borat.
01:03:12I like you.
01:03:14I like sex.
01:03:16From the mind of Sacha Baron Cohen,
01:03:18Borat follows a journalist from Kazakhstan
01:03:20as he explores American culture.
01:03:22At the expense of ordinary U.S. citizens,
01:03:24Cohen helps to craft a film that uses some real people
01:03:27as unwitting accomplices.
01:03:29Some of them become the butt of the joke,
01:03:31while others try desperately to teach Borat
01:03:33how to better understand the country.
01:03:35Can you teach me how to dress?
01:03:37How can I be like you?
01:03:38Well, first of all, you need to loosen up that belt.
01:03:40Let them jeans down.
01:03:41Pull them down?
01:03:42Don't pull them down like you're trying to go...
01:03:44Like a hoe?
01:03:45No, no, no.
01:03:46Like this?
01:03:47Yeah.
01:03:48The comedian finds ways to shock and satisfy the audience
01:03:51with a performance that's nothing short of dedicated.
01:03:54If anything, you might think the performer
01:03:56goes too far in a few instances.
01:03:59He does it all while making us laugh
01:04:01at the positive and negative aspects of America.
01:04:04No, I agree with my best friend.
01:04:08Oh, my God!
01:04:10Pull, pull, pull!
01:04:13Pull!
01:04:14Pull!
01:04:15Let us in!
01:04:16Let us...
01:04:17Get down!
01:04:18Number four, Anchorman, the legend of Ron Burgundy.
01:04:22New York.
01:04:23I love scotch.
01:04:24I love scotch.
01:04:26Scotchy, scotch, scotch.
01:04:27Here it goes down, down into my belly.
01:04:30With Anchorman, the legend of Ron Burgundy,
01:04:32an unlikely hero emerged in the comedy world.
01:04:35Somehow, director Adam McKay
01:04:37managed to make a movie about 1970s newscasters a classic,
01:04:40doing the same thing for NASCAR a few years later.
01:04:44Jake and then...
01:04:47Wait!
01:04:48Shut your mouth!
01:04:49He had a little help
01:04:50from some of the funniest people of the 2000s,
01:04:53including Will Ferrell in the title role.
01:04:55His gang of merry co-stars include Paul Rudd
01:04:57and Steve Carell's incredible turn as Brick.
01:05:00Hey!
01:05:01Where did you get those clothes?
01:05:03At the toilet store?
01:05:07McKay pushes the over-the-top humor to the max,
01:05:11throwing logic out the window in favor of scoring big laughs.
01:05:15The news brawl highlights the film's ability
01:05:17to fly in the face of convention,
01:05:19showcasing a project full of supreme silliness.
01:05:23I'm in a glass case of emotion!
01:05:26Number three, Airplane.
01:05:28Flight 209 are clear for vector 324.
01:05:31We have clearance, Clarence.
01:05:32Roger, roger.
01:05:33What's our vector, Victor?
01:05:36Tower, radio clearance over.
01:05:38Taking on disaster movies,
01:05:40Airplane is arguably the boldest parody of them all.
01:05:43The Zucker Brothers and Jim Abrams
01:05:45helped create a joke-a-minute formula for success.
01:05:48It's also unafraid to throw anything at the audience,
01:05:51including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as himself.
01:05:54They put a nervous and lovesick pilot
01:05:56on an airliner in trouble,
01:05:57forcing the hero to take charge.
01:05:59There are also loads of gags
01:06:01to make the in-flight entertainment extra special.
01:06:03Actors like Leslie Nielsen deliver everything straight,
01:06:06never winking,
01:06:07even as the lines become more laughable.
01:06:09Both pilots.
01:06:11Can you fly this plane and land it?
01:06:14Surely you can't be serious.
01:06:15I am serious.
01:06:17And don't call me Shirley.
01:06:18It's a wild ride full of celebrity cameos,
01:06:21movie references,
01:06:22and non-stop laughter.
01:06:24Gate 13.

01:06:38Blazing Saddles.
01:06:40It is my privilege to extend a laurel
01:06:43and hearty handshake to our new...
01:06:50To this day,
01:06:51Blazing Saddles could be considered
01:06:52one of the most controversial comedies ever.
01:06:55Mel Brooks pokes fun at the western genre
01:06:57with a fast pace
01:06:59It's a summary of the man's diverse vision,
01:07:02stretching from classics like The Producers
01:07:04to other parodies like Spaceballs.
01:07:13I can't breathe in this thing!
01:07:15Brooks and fellow writers like Richard Pryor
01:07:17satirize racial prejudices
01:07:19in a Wild West venture
01:07:20that isn't afraid to go the extra mile.
01:07:22With the inclusion of an impressive supporting cast,
01:07:25the director has an endless supply
01:07:27of comedic genius at his disposal.
01:07:41From Cleavon Little's lead performance
01:07:43to Madeline Kahn's singing,
01:07:44this film is nothing short of a groundbreaking
01:07:46and hilarious comedy.
01:07:58I always wanted to go there.

01:08:17Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
01:08:19I'm invincible!
01:08:21You're a loony.
01:08:23The Black Knight always triumphs!
01:08:25How about you?
01:08:27Monty Python and the Holy Grail
01:08:29represents many high points of the troupe's comedy.
01:08:31It's historic, silly,
01:08:33and full of absurd humor.
01:08:35Look no further than their plan
01:08:36to use coconuts instead of real horses.
01:08:39This Arthurian legend
01:08:40takes several hilarious detours,
01:08:42with each knight heading on their own journey
01:08:44to complete their goal.
01:08:45What do I think?
01:08:46I think kill him.
01:08:47Oh, let's be nice to him.
01:08:48Oh, shut up.
01:08:49And you.
01:08:50Quick, get the sword out.
01:08:51I want to cut his head off.
01:08:52Oh, cut your own head off.
01:08:54Each of the pythons
01:08:55plays multiple characters along the way,
01:08:57proving that they can make audiences laugh
01:08:59with any number of voices or wardrobe choices.
01:09:02They even include a few anachronistic jokes
01:09:04to keep you on your toes.
01:09:06Get him!
01:09:07Come on, come on.
01:09:08Move him in the van.
01:09:09Come on.
01:09:14Put him in the van.
01:09:15From arguments about swallows to killer rabbits,
01:09:18this comedy is chock full of memorable animals
01:09:20and sight gags.
01:09:22You've done it again.
01:09:23I warned you, but did you listen to me?
01:09:25Oh, no, you knew it all, didn't you?
01:09:27Oh, it's just a harmless little bunny, isn't it?
01:09:30Well, it's always the same.
01:09:32I always tell them, do they listen to me?
