So me and my boy at work are always putting together Top 10 lists! This is what we have for now. We base it on how funny it was when it came out. How funny its is now still to this day and if it was on TV which one we would watch 1st. Those are the 3 factors we go by.

Here is our list. Thoughts?

1. Half Baked
2. Office Space
3. Wedding Crashers
4. Joe Dirt
5. Super Bad
6. Anchor Man
7. Happy Gillmore
8. Dumb and Dumber
9. Waiting
10. Old School

Others Nominated: 40 year old Virgin, Talladegha Nights, Friday, Ace Ventura Pet Detective, Step Brothers, and Napoleon Dynamite.

Those are all great comedies.

#9 was funny to me because I pretty much lived that movie.

Honorable mentions:
Super Troopers
Holy Grail
Mall Rats

I'm actually gettin tired of the Will Ferrell humor.

However I did like the movie Pineapple Express, very very funny! I'm sure if you liked Half Baked and you haven't seen it, you'll like it.

You must be 19.

Today's trash is not funny. There was more humor in the first 10 minutes of Blazing Saddles than is in your entire list.

Actually I'm 28 and half those movies are from the 90's. You must be 48. Blazzing Saddles was the fist version of what would be todays "Scary Movie". I'm NOT Knocking blazing saddles its Just an opinion and wanted to get other peoples top 10's. I would prefer to watch Stripes before Blazing Saddles.

Ya, I loved them all. Even Spaceballs !
True, Blazing Saddles was the best when it came out. With different eras comes different comedies. I thought Pineapple Express was pretty funny too.

37, actually...

You just have no appreciation for non-scatalogical humor.

Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Robin Williams, Abbott and Costello, Hell, Charlie Chaplin. You don't give any of those folks credit in your "all time" list. Any of them could have taken the scripts your movies had and done a hell of a lot more with them.

You might have id'd the best of the last 15 years (although I would take issue with about 60% of your list, Half Baked sucked, Super Bad is aptly named, Dumb and Dumber is as well, Waiting was one joke stretched out to an hour and 1/2, as was Old School.) But saying the last 15 years is the best of all time is just wrong.

Office Space, yes, it was good. "All time" good? Meh, but it was good.
Anchorman...it's okay, I'd argue that Dodgeball was better work, but it's a legitimate argument.
Happy Gillmore had it's moments, but didn't bring it when it needed it.

You missed Bull Durham, Major League (the original...the sequels never happened), Slapshot, Kentucky Fried Movie, and so many more it isn't even funny.

The ass to face scene was disturbing yet I couldn't look away ! Funny stuff.

You may have taken his list of top 10 a bit serious. He may have said "of all time" but thats the list according to him, not everyone. He did say "...Just an opinion and wanted to get other peoples top 10's".

So with that said, why don't you put your top 10 if you're so opinionated about his. I'm sure people would disagree with everyone's lists.

BTW Shefpan, is Ghostbusters a comedy? I saw it, but didn't really consider it one. If thats the case Jeepers Creepers was pretty hilarious for a horror movie, lol.
