List your favorite stupid comedies

Post by MikeO »

In these crazy times it's nice to have comedy to help keep us sane. So, the last few weeks I have been watching some of my favorites to take my mind off of things for just a bit. The classics, such as:

Dumb and Dumber
Tommy Boy
Zoolander
Super Troopers
Beerfest
Hot Fuzz
Ace Ventura (both movies)


I have a new addition to my list of faves: Pootie Tang. I had heard about it but had never seen it until last week. Absolutely hilarious. My favorite part is the gibberish language that he speaks. My daughter and I just about wet ourselves laughing at the scene where a bunch of guys are shooting at him and he's swatting the bullets back at them with his braid. Good times.

I'm sure there are other classics that I haven't seen yet for one reason or another. List your faves on the off chance that someone else isn't familiar with it. It might help make being stuck at home a little more tolerable for everyone.

This movie is awesome. Watched it with the boys here around christmas and we were laughing our asses off. Would not be made in the current climate :eek: :lol:

Hot Rod with Andy Samberg is one of my faves. Masterminds is killer as well. If you dig Zack Galifinakis (sp?) and writing style of the Hess' (Napoleon Dynamite fame).

I wouldn’t call What We Do In The Shadows stupid, but nobody mentioned it. The show is brilliant, too.

Overplayed and overquoted (and a little long, if we're being critical);but Stepbrothers is one of the greatest stupid comedies of all time.

God I love that movie... it's so dumb


Talladega Nights will forever be a top favorite stupid movie along with the Land Of the Lost remake......



not sure if the Wanye's World movies fall in to the category of a dumb movie but the humor is silly and once if I"m channel surfing and see either of the movies on I put the remote down and watch...

If we're talking Will Ferrell; Stepbrothers and Old School are my go-tos.
