Funniest Movie of All Time?


Yes. I remember seeing this movie with my best friends when I was a teenager in the late 90's. I had never laughed so hard while seeing a movie. My chest hurt for the next few days. Truly a classic and deserves to be recognized as such.

Yes, it's got to be in the top 10 funniest.

This is one of those "wish you could go back and watch it for the first time again" movies - incredibly fresh, bold and original.

There's a lot of really incredibly clever gags in here, despite how critics would just say the whole thing is "classless", we know it's really not. There's so many funny and clever lines or plot-progressions/swerves no-one could have possibly expected or predicted in 1994, or even someone watching it for the first time today could expect (if they haven't had too much of it spoiled by trailers/clips etc)

Of course all the classless toilet humour really is hilarious too!

You can't buy or manufacture the kind of impact this movie has/had.

But I will just say one thing, it didn't make me laugh as much as a kid as it does now, I think there are really a lot of things in this movie you don't get because when I was a dumb kid I was almost as ignorant about a lot of things as they were. I saw it when I was like 11 or 12, so.... yeah. Dunno about any of you guys.

Maybe it would have been better if I waited a few years. I didn't laugh nearly as much as when I saw Airplane! (at about the same age), that was the one that had me literally rolling.

It's the best comedy all time. It's non-stop fun. It never stops being funny. Great great movie. Any other similar movies?

reply

I put Naked Gun above this....slightly. Naked Gun is probably the funniest movie I have seen in my lifetime.

If you can still laugh at the jokes and find them funny the 100th time then you know it is the best comedy film every - guilty!

reply

All I can think of (for me) is Dumb n Dumber, Ace Ventura Pet Detective and Step Brothers.

This is definitely one of the funniest pure comedies ever.

That's a tough one. But I would say it's probably the best comedy ever.
