1 day ago · The 2017 version of Justice League was not at all good, and only seemed even worse post-2021, when the longer, more ambitious, and generally improved Zack Snyder’s Justice League was released ...
- The Wicked Witch of the West (The Wizard of Oz) Look, if someone drops a house on your sibling, expect bad vibes to fester for a long time. As such, no one can blame the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton) for holding a grudge against Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) and her dog, Toto — although, the pooch didn't exactly do much here.
- Emperor Palpatine (Star Wars: Return of the Jedi) The world possesses over 3,000 species of snakes — with Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) being #3,001.
- Dracula (Bram Stoker's Dracula) Credit needs to go to director Francis Ford Coppola and his team for the ambience of "Bram Stoker's Dracula." From the visceral lighting, imaginative transitional shots, and Wojciech Kilar's haunting score, it's impossible to avoid the chill of the movie.
- Joker (Batman) Every iteration of the Joker boasts their own trademark laugh, so it's difficult to identify who is the best of the best here. However, Jack Nicholson's Clown Prince of Crime nudges ahead of Cesar Romero, Mark Hamill, Heath Ledger, and Joaquin Phoenix (not you, Jared Leto) by a whisker.
- 'Anchorman' Newscasters brawl. The newscasters brawl in “Anchorman” has it all. It embodies the amazing humor of the film more than any other scene and incorporates guest stars that add to the entertainment.
- 'Monty Python and The Holy Grail' Black Knight. It’s one of the most famous movie comedy scenes of all time and showcases the surreal sense of humor Monty Python perfected long ago.
- 'Borat' Naked fight. Depending on your taste level, the naked fight scene in “Borat” might be hard to watch. But if you’re one of those people that can sit through it, you know it never gets old.
- 'Bridesmaids' Food poisoning. "That dress is so pretty it makes my stomach hurt." Spoiler alert: It wasn't the dress. The food poisoning scene in "Bridesmaids" combines a lot of fantastic comedy bits from the past into one epic stretch, driven by several comedy geniuses showcasing their skills.
- MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL: THE BLACK KNIGHT. Narrowing down just one Monty Python scene for this list is a difficult task. Much of their humor, admittedly, is an acquired taste, and this scene may be no exception.
- DUMB AND DUMBER: HARRY’S TOILET FIASCO. How do you pick a single scene from a movie overflowing (pun intended) with gut-busting laugh-out-loud scenes?
- ANCHORMAN: NEWSCASTER BRAWL. It might come as a surprise that Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy didn’t even make $100 million during its theatrical release in 2004 (it made $90.6 million).
- NAKED GUN 2½: THE SMELL OF FEAR: SEX SCENE. The Zucker-Abrams-Zucker team that brought us the hilarity of the Airplane movies came back in 1988 to bring us The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad, based on their short-lived 1982 TV series Police Squad!

Though Christopher Miller & Phil Lord have already made some of the best comedies of the last half-decade, they seem to keep getting better. After the one-two punch of 21 Jump Street and The Lego Movie, they returned for22 Jump Street, in which their baby faced detectives (Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill) move from high school to college to take down...
Blue Collar Comedy means something very specific today, but if you were looking for something that fit the bill forty years ago, you could find it in comedies like Michael Ritchie’s Bad News Bears, Sam Peckinpah’s Convoy or most legendarily George Roy Hill’s Slap Shot. On the one hand, it’s a film about a hockey team that represents the last hope f...
Less a stab at 80s action films than a total commitment to its abrasive excesses, Will Forte and Jorma Taccone’s 2010 comedy is the most colorfully shameless comedy of the 21st century. Forte plays the title character, a mixture of 80s Tom Cruise and Richard Dean Anderson’s resourceful crimefighter MacGuyver. He’s been in retirement (like John Ramb...
Those looking for something else after devouring all of David Wain’s Netflix series Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp are invited to check out his funniest feature, 2014’s They Came Together. While ostensibly a parody of the Nancy Meyers and Nora Ephron school of romantic comedies (see Sleepless in Seattle or the upcoming The Intern), it’s...
Though less celebrated than its older brother, Monty Python and The Holy Grail, Life of Brianhas the edge on laugh count, brains and also has the advantage of not having been quoted to death by fans. Life of Brian concerns the man who was almost Jesus. Brian of Nazareth (Python stalwart Graham Chapman at his best) tries to get through every day lif...
A spot-on parody and tribute to the works of Jerry Bruckheimer (Bad Boys, Beverly Hills Cop, a host of other buddy cop movies), Edgar Wright’s Hot Fuzz is the British maximalist’s sharpest, funniest film. Detective Nick Angel (co-writer Simon Pegg) is sent to a small town after proving a little too intense for a big city police force. There, he’s p...
One of the few film series made funnier with a commentary track from its warped stars, the Jackass movies are an all-you-can-eat buffet of self-inflicted harm and bodily fluids. The crew, led by Johnny Knoxville and his million dollar smile, crank up the stakes for Jackass 3D,their final on-screen outing. They use a jet engine to interrupt lunch, c...
Photographer William Klein was so sickened by American policies in the 60s that when work brought him to France, he stayed there to make art. Of the four films he made, the best and most unsparingly funny of these was Mr. Freedom, about a jingoistic superhero (John Abbey) who routinely shoots people and pushes them off of balconies without due proc...
Chris Morris was like Jon Stewart before anyone realized you could get away with it. On the British radio show On The Hour and TV shows Brass Eye andThe Day Today,Morris passed himself as a real pundit and news anchor covering today’s issues with false earnestness that Stephen Colbert would be envious of. Once he realized he couldn’t get away with ...
Writer Armando Iannucci was a veteran of Chris Morris’ comedy juggernaut The Day Today when he broke out on his own and found his voice mixing discomfort comedy with satire on the hit BBC show The Thick of It. In The Loopwas the film extension of the series, and it kept Iannucci’s his scathing language intact, turning England and America’s role in ...
Aug 19, 2021 · Warner Bros. "Gremlins 2: The New Batch" might not be the best movie to come out in 1990, or even the funniest. But there wasn't a single funnier character that year than the Brain Gremlin, and ...
