The 25 Best Raunchy Comedies of All Time
25. Police Academy
Sure, this 1984 stoopid laffer spawned six unwatchable sequels too many (out of six total ... so far), but the original is still the go-to flick if you want to laugh, not think, and is still Steve Guttenberg's finest comic moment. (Sorry about that, Steve.)
24. Blues Brothers
It was 1980. Jake and Elroy Blues were on a mission from God, and we can only presume that the Almighty commanded John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd to let loose in this raucous free-for-all. Saving the orphanage where they were raised? Good. Making audiences scream with laughter? Better.
23. Superbad
Genitalia references, bodily fluids and genius one-liners abound in this sure-to-be-classic comedy about two high-school seniors (foul-mouthed Jonah Hill and brilliantly deadpan Michael Cera) out to score booze in the time-honored hope that it'll help them get laid. We'll drink to that.
22. Clerks
Kevin Smith became a cult hero to minimum wage slaves everywhere when he turned $27,000 into a glorified student movie with a dirty mouth and one hilarious scene after the next. It is 'Clerks' that truly schooled many a teen in the birds, bees, necrophilia, hermaphroditic porn and the significance of number 37.
21. Bad Santa
Screw 'Sling Blade.' Billy Bob Thornton has never been more Oscar-worthy (or more hilarious, lewd and disgusting) than he is as a depraved, alcoholic mall Kris Kringle planning a Christmas Eve heist. He urinates himself, curses at little girls and has sex with large women -- and every moment of it is pure magic.
20. Slap Shot
Remember when Paul Newman was a brutish blue collar who dropped F-bombs and womanized for sport? Neither do we, but it's hilarious just to think about his formative years in this lovably obscene classic that includes the greatest "moon" in movie history. Forget 'Miracle': This is what hockey dreams are made of.
19. Kentucky Fried Movie
The 'Airplane!' team got its start with this howlingly crude series of sketches spoofing everything from blaxploitation movies to high school science reels. Come for the kung-fu parody, stay for the porn trailer, starring naked Catholic school girls AND a whip-wielding dwarf in a clown suit.
18. Coming to America
It may be tame by today's standards, but this quotable classic was still post-'Raw' Eddie Murphy, who relished in greeting his Queens neighbors with a happy-faced "F*** you too!" And while T&A doesn't disrupt Prince Akeem's righteous quest for a Queen, Eriq La Salle's Jheri curls are most offensive.
17. Knocked Up
Judd Apatow ('40-Year-Old Virgin') works his magic again, mining an awkward situation (lovable loser Seth Rogen gets smokin'-hot Katherine Heigl preggers during a one-night stand) for comedy gold. At last, here's proof that a film rife with d*** and fart jokes, as well as a climactic vagina shot during childbirth, can have a heart.
16. Team America: World Police
It's by far the best film ever to star show-tunes-singing, terrorist-fighting puppets and depict Susan Sarandon getting eaten by a cat -- but we'd expect nothing less from the creators of 'South Park.' And all we can say about the puppet-on-puppet sex scene, complete with acts too vile to mention, is: F*** yeah!
15. Blazing Saddles
Before he was the toast of Broadway, Mel Brooks was master of his domain -- artfully raunchy comedy and double entendres, that is. And in 1974, he hit fans with a double shot of that funny stuff: 'Young Frankenstein' and 'Blazing Saddles.' Apparently there were no PC police in the Wild West. Woo-hoo!
14. Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Sean Penn's primo surfer dude/stoner Jeff oli doesn't even have to try to put the "high" in high school. And Judge Reinhold getting caught, uh, enjoying himself while watching a bikini-clad Phoebe Cates climb out of the backyard pool is so funny it hurts ... in that good way.
13. American Pie
Though this sleeper hit has a distinct Generation Y feel to it (the webcam, etc.), its central struggle -- teens desperate to lose their virginity before college -- is timeless. Who doesn't remember the first time they had sex with a pie? And then there's band camp, once a sacred ins ution tainted now and forever.
12. Bachelor Party
Tom Hanks proves that even Oscar winners once knew how to par-tay with the best of them in this outrageous B movie romp that includes drug-snorting donkeys, an accidental transves e hookup, a bevy of topless hotties and even a penis masquerading as a foot-long ("and then some!") hot dog.
11. South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut
Trey Parker and Matt Stone outdid themselves with the big-screen version of their irreverent series, in which Cartman and co. set out to stop WWIII. Groups that will find the film offensive include all races and genders, as well as Satan and the ghost of Saddam Hussein.
10. This is Spinal Tap
It's plenty raunchy (we bet Tipper Gore's no fan of the song " School"), but it's Rob Reiner's gleeful skewering of the heavy metal scene, his actors deadpan in support of their allegedly sexist album ("What's wrong with sexy?") 'Smell the Glove,' that makes this mock-doc go all the way to 11.
9. Wedding Crashers
Their MO is brilliant. But Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson go above and beyond to make shameless lying and womanizing look like a hoot (oh, who are we kidding? it is). We expect those two to crack us up; the surprise here is breakout Isla Fisher, who turns sex-crazy Gloria into a lunatic we can love.
8. There's Something About Mary
In THE definitive gross-out comedy of the '90s, the Farrelly bros. take tastelessness to new heights, thanks to Cameron Diaz (the experimental hair "gel"), Ben Stiller (the frank-and-beans incident) and Matt Dillon (that disgusting moustache). And it's a heartfelt love story to boot.
7. National Lampoon's Vacation
Walley World! John Hughes based it on his own family's trip to Disneyland, Harold Ramis and Chevy Chase signed on, and the rest -- a joyride of extramarital lust, implied incest and dead Grandma on the roof -- is road trip history, a high point in the annals of low humor (hee, we said "annals").
6. Old School
Just like college, this movie gave us so much: the birth of the "Frat Pack," the beginning of the "I'm Will Ferrell and I like to show off my sagging man-ass" era, Vince Vaughn at the top of his game, hot nude women wrestling in KY Jelly, and, of course, enough catchphrases to last us until f***ing Christmas. "Earmuffs!"
5. The 40-Year-Old Virgin
Judd Apatow's breakthrough film is both hysterically vulgar (Apatow is king of juvenile male humor) and surprisingly tender, making this the sweetest film ever to feature Elizabeth Banks having WAY too much graphic fun with a shower head and more F-bombs than Steve Carell has ... err, had chest hairs.
4. Caddyshack
Put Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray on a golf course and you've got a recipe for unmitigated rowdiness, most of it improvised. Every lowbrow gag hits its mark, from the shots to the groin to the candy bar in the swimming pool to Murray's note-perfect "Cinderella story" speech. It's in the hoooole!
3. Stripes
No comedy sticks it to The Man like 'Stripes,' an anarchic ode to slackerdom in which Bill Murray unites the losers, gets the girl (on a hot stove, no less) and kicks the Army?s ass, all without wiping the smirk off his face. Plus, John Candy vs. six bikini-clad (and unclad) mud wrestlers! That?s the fact, Jack.
2. Borat
Sacha Baron Cohen's mockumentary about a sexist, racist yet endearing Kazakh reporter took comedy places it had never been before (to a dinner table with Borat holding a bag of his own feces, face-to-face with the testes of a 400-pound man during a nude wrestling match) -- and we are forever changed because of it.
1. National Lampoon's Animal House
A provocative expose of how Greek organizations really conduct on-campus affairs, or a shameless excuse to show topless co-eds and a beer-guzzling Belushi? Please, as if John Landis's seminal frat comedy ever had the slightest pretense. It didn't just set the standard for gut-busting raunch; it still holds the belt.

Borat was higher than Clerks and Blues Brothers? I call blasphemy!
move Bad Santa wayyyy up, ass clown
The order of that list is so far off I don't know where to begin.
Up as in closer to 50?
Big lewbouski(sp)???????
As in closer to the top 10
Where the is The Big Lebowski PLEASE!?!?
Any list that has Blazing Saddles any lower than the top 5 is automatically invalid, not to mention Blues Brothers at 24 AND Caddyshack at 4? I don't even want to talk about Wedding Crashers being ahead of This is Spinal Tap...oh wait, it's AOL. Nevermind.
################11111111111111111111111111 for me
borat should be slightly lower, coming to america needs to be atleast top 10 and old school should be top 5
This list is just all kinds of ed.
Trading Places > Coming to America
God I can't wait to see Superbad.
Can't believe they left out Revenge of the Nerds...maybe I'm the only one who likes that lol
why is superbad up there, did you see a advance screening? What about any of the Broken Lizard movies?
Incredibly, I've never seen any of those movies.
Bull that Coming to America is not in the top 5, that's just ing gay and the rest of this list is all garbage
Such epic ing blasphemy...
Borat should be 20-25. Where's Fear and Loathing?
there is no ing way Caddyshack is not #1
BS
oh and #2 should be DEAD ALIVE by Peter Jackson
thank you!
and Borat is WAY overrated. That movie does not hold up well AT ALL to multiple viewings, in fact it gets really damn boring after the second time you've seen it, and longevity really is the mark of a true classic.
and any Vince Vaughn film needs to be knocked down about 10 places.
