Naked Gun
Dude, Where's My Car? (stupid lamas!)
Shrek 2
Austin Powers - The Spy who Shagged me
Austin Powers - Goldmember

now we're all clear on that. Savvy?

[Anarchistguy]

I forgot the Friday movies. Thanks Elite5Raph

Those are mine, too. Frank Drebin is the greatest policeman ever.

Which one's your favorite?

[Barkworm]

The first one. Although the first scene of 33 1/3 is an absolute classic. :lol:

[Peanut]

I don't think I could choose a top 5. Mostly because very few movies make me laugh enough to warrant as being actually funny. A funny scene here or there isn't good enough. One movie that made me laugh from beginning to end was History of the World Part 1. I love Mel Brooks movies, and that's probably my favourite one.

Bah, humbug! :P

[Barkworm]

I actually agree with Peanut. I'm more into comedy TV shows than movies.

[EZweasel]

yea you like sitocms, the worst time of comedies known to mankind...id rather watch a half hour of comercials.

[Barkworm]

I see you still haven't learned how to shut it. :roll:

[Peanut]

EZ's worthless post aside. I'm not into sitcoms, but shows like Family Guy are a lot more funny than movies to me.

[Barkworm]

True that. With very few exceptions there's almost no movie that made me laugh as much as shows like "The Simpsons", "Futurama" or "Scrubs" did.

[damnhooligan]

True that. With very few exceptions there's almost no movie that made me laugh as much as shows like "The Simpsons", "Futurama" or "Scrubs" did.
I absolutely second that. I had to really dip into the furthest reaches of my mind to come up with five movies that I thought were worth mention. But TV shows, I could probably spout off two dozen that routinely make me snort milk out my nose.

[Hannah]

All the Pee-Wee movies.

o.o

And Shrek and Austin Powers...

^^

[Barkworm]

I edited the thread title.
My TOP 5 favourite comedy shows are:
1. The Simpsons (season 1-9)
2. Friends (season 1-8 )
3. Scrubs
4. Futurama
5. King of Queens

[Hannah]

TV shows?

1) Invader ZIM
2) The Simpsons
3) Futurama
4) Family Guy
5) ATHF

*Edited XD*

[Weapon X]

Top 5 funny Tv Shows:
1.Seinfeld
2.South Park
3.Chappelles' Show
4.Whose Line is it Anyway's
5.Simpsons(Season 1-5)

[damnhooligan]

1. The Adventures of Pete and Pete
2. Scrubs
3. Invader ZIM
4. Mystery Science Theater 3000
5. The Young Ones

I could honestly keep going. I feel blasphemous leaving out so many shows that, though they aren't in my top five, are note-worthy. But if I was stuck on an island with nothing more than DVD boxsets of my top five and a DVD player, I guarantee I'd die laughing.

[EZweasel]

ok, well ill play your little game. Tv shows that make me laugh sometimes are:

King of the hill
The simpsons (specially the newer ones)
family guy

i dont know...to tell the truth, i used to love these shows alot more than i do now. When i go back and watch them now they seem to not be as funny as they used to be.

but seriously, i think everyone needs to watch shaolin soccer, its the craziest movie i have ever seen in my life..i guess i just hate comedy when you see the jokes coming. Sitcoms tend to do that alot.....oh and that Awful awful laugh track!

The only show i truly watch alot on TV is smallville and it isnt even a comedy.

[Barkworm]

1. Everyone knows you don't like sitcoms. No one cares. There's no need to repeat in every post.
2. I'm still trying to get Shaolin soccer, being a big soccer fan and all. It really looks funny.

[Foxy Boy]

1. The Adventures of Pete and Pete
2. Scrubs
3. Invader ZIM
4. Mystery Science Theater 3000
5. The Young Ones

I think we can all agree MST3K is awesome. And the "Joel" years had such a different comedic flavour than the "Mike" years, but both were still hilarious.

[Hannah]

Oh my god, I forgot Invader ZIM.

How Could I?!?!

[Peanut]

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is easily one of my favourite comedy tv shows of all time. Every episode is hilarious and each one always has a huge zinger in there somewhere.

[KROW]

Ah, funny television shows now. Alrighty.

1- Mystery Science Theater 3000
2- Red Dwarf
3- Whose Line is it Anyway?
4- The Simpsons
5- Futurama

[cqb101]

1. Friends
2. Joey
3. Seinfeld
4. Family Guy
5. ATHF

[raphael_is_cool]

Tv shows for me

1. The Simpsons
2. Futurama
3. Scrubs
4. Friends
5. Coupling (English one)

Although there's still: Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Monty Python's Flying Circus, Red Dwarf, League of Gentleman and many others that could be on there too

[ZariusTwo]

1. Blackadder
2. Aqua Teen Hunger Force
3. Freinds
4. Family Guy
5. Futurama

[Dontebell]

south park
simpsons
father of the pride
the real ghostbusters
brandy and mr.whiskers

[Peanut]

I don't see what people find funny about Friends. I've watched it with my sister a couple times...and it's just horribly unfunny.

[Weapon X]

I fully agree with you on that.

[Hannah]

I keep forgetting crap.

Red Dwarf.

Damn, I was watching it last night, too!!

~whacks head~

[Anarchistguy]

1. The Simpsons (Seasons 1-7)
2. Family Guy
3. Married With Children (Seasons 1-6)
4. Unhappily Ever After
5. Greg The Bunny

I don't see what people find funny about Friends. I've watched it with my sister a couple times...and it's just horribly unfunny.
I also agree.

[Barkworm]

Friends was a great show IMO, it just should have ended after season 5 or so. I enjoyed seasons 6-8 but they weren't really necessary. The last two seasons were just horrible beyond imagination.

4. Unhappily Ever After
I haven't seen a lot of episodes of that show but wasn't it a huge "Married with Children" ripoff (except for Mr. Floppy, of course)?

[ZariusTwo]

See....every time someone mentions "Freinds", it gets bashed, when REAL crap like The Simpsons is mentioned, it's not attacked.

What's the problem here? The Simpsons has RUINED it's legacy, it's humour is abysmal, as bad as Seasons 7-9 of Freinds are, they do NOT touch the crap that Seasons 12-16 of the Simpsons have produced.

Thats why I only like Season 1-5 of the Simpsons,it did lose it's touch.

We all know how much you hate The Simpsons. You don't need to mention it everytime the subject of the show comes up.

[ZariusTwo]

Putting words in my mouth huh?

I LIKE The Simpsons, I hate the current seasons, what I like and hate is'nt the point here, the point is, you're calling people out on liking Freinds, SO WHAT? What's the problem with liking Freinds?

[EZweasel]

I don't see what people find funny about Friends. I've watched it with my sister a couple times...and it's just horribly unfunny.


You seen one sitcom, you seen them all....also the simpsons have improved, its ten times crazier now than it ever was and i like crazy humor although i still hardly watch the simpsons anymore, but if i see it on ill watch.

[Peanut]

I wasn't putting words in your mouth, no. I also wasn't calling anyone out for liking Friends. Drop the attitude, no one likes it.

[Anarchistguy]

I haven't seen a lot of episodes of that show but wasn't it a huge "Married with Children" ripoff (except for Mr. Floppy, of course)?

Yup. But I still liked it.

[ZariusTwo]

I also wasn't calling anyone out for liking Friends

This thread was designed to talk about your favourate comedies, there's about a billion things I could say about other comedies mentioned here other than the Simpsons, I choose not to, I'd rather not ask "What people see in these shows"

Back on topic, I should include Red Dwarf as well...quality comedy.

[Peanut]

It's a thread for discussion. I asked a question and stated an opinion.

[ZariusTwo]

Yeah, but it causes problems, especially when noone was saying anything negative about other comedies in here, it seemed unfair.

[Voltron]

Alright, let's stop the arguing and move on, shall we?

Good idea,being in the US I don't know what Red Dwarf is so can someone explain?

Red Dwarf is a U.K comedy set in space, Dave Lister, one of the crew, is frozen in stasis for bringing a cat on board, when he is frozen, his room mate Arnold Judas Rimmer causes a radiation leak that kills the entire crew.

500000 years later, Lister is brought out of statsis to fin he is the only human left, however, the ship's computer brinfs Rimmer back as a hologram to keep Lister sane, they are later joined by a humonoid cat (which evolved froma race crated by Lister's pet cat many years ago), and in the third season, by Kryten, a service android whom Lister tries to teach to be more human.

The series so far, has lasted eight seasons, a movie is being produced, but it's suffering from financial ills.

[Weapon X]

Thanks for the explanation. :D

[Hannah]

It's an awesome show. I cant wait for the movie.

[EZweasel]

man, i remember that show..its not funny but interesting. Interesting enough to where i would watch it late at night on the PBS station.

Red Dwarf can be watched either as a good series, or a comedy, it works with two different audiences

They tried to do an american version, but it sucked.

[Hannah]

An american version? Why? Its not a different language or anything.

[ZariusTwo]

Yanks always like to remake British shows under the beleif they can do better...they never do.

[KROW]

However, Robert Llewellyn (Kryten) enjoyed his time trying to make the American pilot.

But British comedies actually are done in a different language, of sorts. There is a separation of terms and phrases used between the two countries. British humor contains derivatives and references that very few American folk could understand. The dialogue in some programs are done in such a distinct and certain way that it's hard to follow for us "Yanks". Black Adder and Monty Python come to mind. With Red Dwarf, it's easier to comprehend, which could be why it's quite well-known here in the U.S. (also, thanks to PBS).

Also, I thought it was 3 million years, not 500,000.

As for Friends, I also dislike that show, with the exception of quips from Chandler and Joey's infamous, "How you doin'?" line.

[ZariusTwo]

You're right about that, sorry...

[Barkworm]

2. Joey
Just a question: Do you really really like the show or do you just watch it because of nostalgia for Friends? Because that's why I watch the show. I haven' t missed a single episode even though I think about half of the eps were total crap. I only watch it because it's Joey.

[Dane E5R]

I think our version of Whose Line is better.

[raphael_is_cool]

The series so far, has lasted eight seasons, a movie is being produced, but it's suffering from financial ills.

I heard there are also problems with the Americans wanting to alter it or something

Plus, I should mention Father Ted too, that was a great sitcom

[Weapon X]

I think our version of Whose Line is better.

I've seen the British version on Comedy central a couple times and I never laughed,but the american version is halarious.(My opinion.)

The British version was the original version by the way, (although it's not as funny as a lot of other comedy game shows)

I guess it's kind of for nostalgia, becauise some episodes are horribly boring while others are funnier than any epiosde in the last couple seasons of friends. SO it's kinda both. Plus, Joey was my favorite character on Friends.

[Barkworm]

Mine too, especially in the good old days when he and Chandler were still roomies. They made him waaay too dumb in the last two seasons though.

[Weapon X]

The British version was the original version by the way, (although it's not as funny as a lot of other comedy game shows)

Yeah I know. :roll:

[KROW]

I loved the original version of Whose Line. Paul Merton and Tony Slatterly were hilarious. Paul with his deadpan humor and Tony was friggin' out of his skull but witty. They were great cast members.
