The Aristocrats is better than the 93rd best comedy of all time.

 

No Network?

 

Napoleon Dynamite shouldn't even be sniffing that list.

 

Dr. Strangelove should be higher on the list.

 

This list can kiss my lily white, White Sox loving, comedy fan ass for three reasons:

 

NO CHAPLIN

NO BUSTER KEATON

NO MARX BROTHERS

 

They did give some respect to the great Mel Brooks which is good. Animal House is good, but I don't think it was the #1 comedy of all time.

Nor was "Bananas" in there, or "Casino Royale."

This list is terrible...

 

Absolutely terrible. Annie Hall 28? Dr. Strangelove 53!? These are two of the best films ever period, let alone among comedies.

Looks as if I still have some movies to catch..... But a Top 100 with no Fletch? Ridiculous!!!!

animal house isn't even that funny...

 

dazed and confused shoulda been way higher.

 

Animal House is damned funny! I think part of the reason it was #1 is that is was somewhat ground breaking as well.

 

I'm also disappointed Hollywood Knights didn't land on the list. I thought some of the movies were ranked in precarious spots, but opinions vary so that doesn't bother me so much.

36. Good Morning, Vietnam

 

That ain't no comedy, man. It's a serious drama with a few laughs thrown in here and there. You're not gonna find it in the comedy section at Blockbuster.

 

I counted about 50 movies on that list that I will never see. While I'm no movie expert, I did find the strangely absent "Super Troopers" to be hilarious, and "Major League" ain't listed despite the fact that it is a hell of a lot funnier than "Bull Durham" on the strength of Uecker alone.

 

And as LCR stated, the Marx Brothers stuff will induce tears from laughter.

I disagree, Bull Durham is a well rounded movie while Major League (though a favorite of mine) is, well, just a comedy.

Horrible list. (ZOOLANDER?!?!?! Dodgeball!?!?)

 

Team America absolutely blows.....hard. Half Baked isn't funny either. Cheech and Chong's movies were better (and not listed either.)

 

No "Major League," "Blazing Saddles," or I'm gonna git U sucka" = bulls***.
