I know we've had like 8 of these "best" lists, but we never really delved into the comedy section, and I ask you now, what are your favorite comedies? Movies that really made you laugh your ass off, plot or not.

My list:

South Park
Dumb and Dumber
Bad Santa
The Big Lebowski
Old School
Elf
Baseketball
Orgazmo

my list mostly makes up of movies that you don't care about the story but you just love the characters and laugh at all the crazy shit they do... i'm looking for more heh

The first half of Office Space. Once the virus is planted, the movie loses humor quickly.

Trading Places
Office Space
National Lampoon's Vacation
Animal House
Sixteen Candles

...I'm sure I'm missing some. By and large, there has been a dearth of good comedies released from about the 1990's on. They all just started to get formulaic. I'm tempted to put High Fidelity, Wet Hot American Summer, or Clerks up there....because they all made me laugh my ass off...but I'm not sure they qualify as "top" for me. Maybe I should put The Producers or Young Frankenstein up there, too... I dunno, I'm sleepy.

Dirty Work
National Lampoons Loaded Weapon
Robin Hood - Men in Tights
Space Balls
Naked Gun (1-3)
Scarey Movie (1-3...yes I liked all of'em)
Not another Teen Movie
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

I love all those movies (yes I have somewhat bad taste)

There really are too many good ones out there. I'll try though.

Anything with Jay and Silent Bob.
Most Mel Brooks movies.
South Park had me in tears from laughing so hard in the first 30 minutes.

Though at the time I really hated the movie I find myself thinking back on certain parts of Zoolander and laughing to myself.

Old School had some great parts in it as well.

The list goes on and on and "Up in Smoke".

Super Troopers

The first 5 minutes of that movie are, in my opinion, about the funniest 5 minutes of any movie ever made.
