What movies/shows do you guys legitimately find funny?

1  2018-10-29 by l0v3s2sp00ge

Finding humor in media is difficult for me. Pretty much any "funny" thing Hollywood or the internet throws at me is a dud. O&A was like the apex of my shit sense of humor, and I've been searching for anything close ever since. As one contrarian faggot to another, what's good out there? Don't say "Schinder's List" or "Mississippi Burning", I already formed that joke in my head.

Nathan For You was funny. It’s canceled now of course.

Needed to free up the schedule for Big Mouth.

I wish Ben Hoffman's show lasted as long as his did. Those shows back to back were great.

Titty City

For the record it wasn’t cancelled, he decides to stop doing it. I assumed CC dropped the ball too but I guess they didn’t

Well if Hollywood is boring you try some English humour. Original Office, Alan Partridge, The Day Today, Brass Eye, Extras, Detectorists, Catterick, Snuff Box.....

That Alan Partridge movie on Netflix is probably the most I've ever laughed out loud at a movie. I recommended it to everyone and they all hated it.

Basically, friends and family are all fucking stupid and I'm gonna kill them all one day.

Alpha Papa? Yeah it's fucking great. Seen 'Scissored Isle'? I think it's even funnier. The Trip is also amazing.

Never seen Scissored Isle or The Trip. I'm gonna have to check them out. I've never not enjoyed Steve Coogan.

Scissored Isle is on youtube and the trip is easy to torrent. You'll fucking love them.

Don't kill them just tape them to chairs and force them to watch good comedy!

Putney Swope is the best comedy movie. Robert Downey not-Junior made it a hundred years ago. Here's the whole thing.

MDE was great. Here's one of their best things.

Rick Shapiro was the best comedian ever. He was on O&A a hundred times and was never good there. Wrong "room." Now he's too old and sick to be funny anymore.

Everything now is shit and will never get better.

American Dad. The first season or 2 was awful but once they hit their stride it's been excellent.

Wonder Showzen, although it's wildly outdated to mention. But if you buy some DVDs or something it is still great.

That is all.

I'd say American Dad has fallen off.

I'd say go fuck your mother

I never thought of it that way.

It's a great big world with lots to see and do, /u/throwawaymanthrows

Dadded!

Idiocracy, The Big Lebowski.

UK- Blackadder, Bottom (RIP Rick M.)

Flash by name, Flash by nature!

Older Trailer Park Boys, Peep Show.

I love early peep show but it went on a little too long. Wasn't laughing at series 7 to 9.

My thoughts exactly on Trailer Park Boys too, actually.

Arrested Development seasons 1-3.

Simpsons seasons 4-9

The office (US) seasons 2-5

Curb your enthusiasm

30 rock

Cheers, before Kirstie Allie shows up

Yeah, Shelly Long or go fuck yourself

I have no clue why, but my dad had a burning, passionate hatred for Shelly Long. He also hated Jared from Subway, the old Canadian Tire guy and the Lillydale chicken guy in the same "Holy shit, dad. Calm down, you're scaring me" kind of way.

People really nurtured their hate back then

30 rock is garbage, fast talking assholes

Always Sunny never gets old. Curb is usually my go to

[removed]

I've never made it past the first episode of "Always Sunny", where should I start?

The second one

Fair enough.

The first season isn't very good. The only episode I like is Underage Drinking. The show doesn't pick up until Frank shows up in the second season.

Thanks!

Jennifer Aniston is a sexy crazy whore in that film.

Horrible Bosses

Man, that movie is like a 90 minute VW Jetta commercial. Fucking bizarre

What About Bob is fucking funny. One of my favourite comedy films. Also most of the Monty Python stuff. Life Of Brian is great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFBOQzSk14c

Schindler's....oh..

Upright Citizen's Brigade had some good moments.

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

I’m a one track lover

I wish I could be more attractive like Dagless...

Ever seen Snuff Box? (It's got Matt Berry from Darkplace.) It's so good.

Genuinely my favourite sketch from the entire series.

Would you tell us if it wasn't?

....which is definitely not based on the writer (and British pipe-smoking champion) Guy N. Smith; author of such books as:

1. Night of the Crabs (1976)

2. Killer Crabs (1978)

3. Origin of the Crabs (1979)

4. Crabs on the Rampage (1981)

5. Crabs' Moon (1984)

6. The Human Sacrifice (1988)

  1. Killer Crabs: The Return (2012)

3 Stooges

The joe besser years were awful...,he refused to get smacked in the face

I want to add Cuba Crossing from 1980 to the 'Schindler's / Mississippi' list.

I watched it on a Greyhound bus once. Like they had tvs hanging up and the old Ernest Borgnine looking driver put a VHS tape in to play and we get partway through the movie and it turns to a scene of white guys betting and cheering while 2 black slave guys beat each other's brains out. The dialogue kept mentioning 'mandingo' and shit, and there were a bunch of black people on the bus and they nearly KILLED the driver until he finally, begrudgingly turned it off. I was enthralled.

Robert Vaughn sucked and I'm glad he's dead. Least Magnificent of the Seven.

Don Verdean

Saxondale

You know who I remember thinking was funny 17 years ago and just now remembered? Sean Cullen.

Beerfest

reading this thread is like looking under the matress of sex addicts anonymous members and finding a department store lingerie catalogue with nipples drawn on the bras in crayon

Well then why don't you tell us what television shows or movies tickle your funnybone there, character?

i haven't laughed in 10 years

i like when malcolm tucker is mean to faggots

Kenny vs Spenny is great. Every episode is on youtube

Loved KvS

Hot Tub Time Machine. Probably the most underrated comedy film made over the last 20 years. Rob Corddry’s part as the character Lou, is so well written and acted. (But whatever you do, don’t watch the sequel. It’s horrific.)

American Dad. Someone already mentioned this, but it really is all because of the characters Roger, Klaus & Stan. All the other cartoons that MacFarlane made, stunk. Family guy is fucking awful horseshit.

Dazed & Confused. One of the best films ever made, It’s not funny in a hysterical way, but it has great humor filtered through nostalgia.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

These danish films all made by Anders Thomas Jensen will send you down the rabbit hole of undiscovered comedic masterpieces:

  • Blinking Lights
  • In China They Eat Dogs
  • Old Men In New Cars
  • Adam’s Apples
  • The Green Butcher

Joe Persa Talks to You

Intelligent blacks (Thx, brojoe!) outwit the stupid Italian mafia in animated Harlem in the late 60's.

It's an urban Black Power retelling of Bre'ar Fox.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coonskin_(film)

Special for this sub, obviously. I think it's on YouTube.

Coonskin (film)

Coonskin is a 1975 American live action/animated crime film written and directed by Ralph Bakshi, about an African American rabbit, fox, and bear who rise to the top of the organized crime racket in Harlem, encountering corrupt law enforcement, con artists, and the Mafia. The film, which combines live-action with animation, stars Philip Thomas, Charles Gordone, Barry White, and Scatman Crothers, all of whom appear in both live-action and animated sequences.

Originally produced under the titles Harlem Nights and Coonskin No More..., Coonskin encountered controversy before its original theatrical release when the Congress of Racial Equality criticized the content as being racist. When the film was released, Bryanston gave it limited distribution and it initially received mixed reviews.

It's not very funny but worth it just for the animation. Same guy who did the fritz the cat movie.

Dirty Work

Fawlty Towers is possible the best sitcom ever made. It's completely faultless.

Mr. Show

Always Sunny

The Jerk

Norsemen on Netflix is pretty good so far.

no love for King of the Hill?
