What was the greatest comedy of all time. (2 Viewers)

If I were just picking one I’d go with the Dudley Moore version of Arthur.

it’s at least the greatest lead performance and I would put the moose up for supporting as well. Moose nailed it.

look. Every body loves Raymond is the greatest comedy of all time. But in movies it has to be blazing saddles

coen brothers' "comedies" are adjunct to darker storylines; arizona, lebowski, burn after

Documentation for my case. And for the record I’ll be trying to convince you all for a few weeks. This is your winner and acceptance is the answer.

I have never seen an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond.

Has anyone mentioned Bill & Ted’s? The first one, Excellent Adventure, is an all-time great comedy.. definitely in my Top Ten.. Bogus Journey is solid as well.

Bill and Ted's bogus journey gains points for having Clue references in it.

My wife liked that show, you aren’t missing anything, although, I will admit his standup act on HBO was surprisingly decent....

Animal House

Ive never seen a ep of The Simpsons.. funny thing is, I remember watching Fox when it was new network in the late 1980s and seeing ads for this new show called The Simpsons before it premiered , and thinking ‘That looks funny, i need to check it out’.. as i type this 32 years later, i still haven’t gotten around to it.

Great movie. If this is your kind of humor, check out Office Christmas Party

ha.
so i came to realize that almost all of the movies selected here were of the gags and bits variety - one-liners and sight gags, et al
and hardly any were of the 'witty' variety
there was one Coen Brothers movie mentioned (i've called it their most hi brow/low brow movie) and someone added 'The Thin Man' which is very witty
No Woody Allen (though i would not include him for 'problematic' reasons), no Paul Thomas Anderson, one Terry Gilliam, no tim Burton, et al and no Wes Anderson until you add a movie of his as a 'worst' even though that, Rushmore and Life Aquatic are very funny movies

I mentioned Rushmore earlier.

I'll add O Brother Where Art Thou

Forgot about that one!

You know I don't want to think to laugh. When I watch a comedy I just want to sit back and just laugh. Waiting is one of those movies I can just laugh at. I find Ryan Reynolds funny. I can't really think of one of his movies I did not enjoy.

Zombieland! Funny stuff! Also the bowling movie with Woddy Harrelson. Kingpin I think.

I was crying during the fight scene

Submitted for approval:

Tom Hanks'
The Man With One Red Shoe
Joe vs The Volcano

One of the gags from The Man With One Red Shoe I never picked up on until I learned more about the subject was the "suppressed" revolvers. 99.9% of revolvers can't be suppressed...

Joe v Volcano was an underrated comedy, and doesnt get mentioned these days as often as it should amongst the other good films that Hanks did in the 80s and 90s.
