Caddyshack
The dim-witted and mentally unstable greenskeeper Carl Spackler (Bill Murray) spends the duration of the '80s classic Caddyshack in an uproarious cat-and-mouse game with his arch nemesis...a gopher. The rodent constantly gets the upper hand with the lovable buffoon and somehow outwits him at every turn, and Murray does phenomenal portraying the bumbling character on a passionate mission to catch the critter. Carl constantly has animated conversations with himself and talks out of the side of...
Mean Girls
The ditzy but well-meaning Karen Smith (Amanda Seyfried) makes up one-third of the admired yet deeply feared high school clique known as the Plastics in the 2000s cult classic Mean Girls. While she is the kindest of the trio Karen is the least intelligent and comes off like a stereotypical airhead. When new transplant Cady (Lindsay Lohan) first arrives at North Shore High School, Karen famously (and hilariously) asks her, "So if you're from Africa, why are you white?" Karen has a childlike de...
The Hangover
Zach Galifianakis established himself as comedy gold when he portrayed the socially inept Alan Garner in Todd Phillip's blockbuster hit The Hangover.

Alan is immature and extremely childish and causes the crazy events that unfold after secretly drugging his...

The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!
Lieutenant Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) in The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! is always on the case and off the books. He is the world's dumbest detectivewith all the dumb luck in the world. Frank is honest but self-serious, and uses contrastive language, the perfect combination for boneheaded comedy. How he manages to catch his man is a miracle; Frank's silly way with words is frustrating and clever misdirection for his friends and foes. Related: The 15 Smartest Comedy Movies Ev...
A Fish Called Wanda
Otto (Kevin Kline) in A Fish Called Wanda is an ignorant, anti-British dolt. He rambles absurdities, and obscenities, and gets jealous of his partner in crime when she uses her womanly charms to pull off heists. His arrogance and ego lead to stupid outcomes. Otto mixes theft with pleasure, asserts his American superiority mindset, and flubs a heist even when he knows he's being double-crossed to further prove his place on this list.
The Pink Panther
Peter Sellers delivered a side-splitting performance as the absent-minded, massively incompetent police detective Inspector Jacques Clouseau in The Pink Panther, the first installment in the celebrated comedy franchise that follows the oafish Clouseau as he attempts to catch a notorious jewel thief in Rome. The patriotic Frenchman is constantly leaving chaos in his wake and he always solves his cases by accident and is jaded by his belief that he is a genius when in fact he's rather moronic....

Back to the Future
Biff Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson) in Back to the Futureis the archetype school bully who uses brute force first and his brain never. His signature line is, "Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here." Everyone knows the double meaning and phrase should end with "leave" except for Biff. He calls stupid people "butt heads" but the irony is that he's already a butt head. In the time-traveling trilogy, he also manages to get covered in manure like clockwork.
