Me and my friend Bob were talking about the top 10 comedy movies of the 2000's at lunch...here is my list.
1.) Anchorman - It was close between the top 3 but Anchorman has the most memorable qoutes of the group, so it gets the nod. The fight scene between the networks (especially Stiller as the spanish channel) is genius..."como estas pinches!"
2.) Napolean Dynamite - The only good thing Jon Heder has done so far. Lots of memorable qoutes and Kip Dynamite is a genius character. Also, Uncle Rico is one of the funniest characters of all time...
3.) Borat - Cohen's finest moment so far. Lots of hilarious schtick, especially when Borat is trying to kidnap Pamela Anderson...
4.) Hot Rod - I know not everyone is onboard with this movie but I thought it was genius when I first saw it. The Footloose scene gets me everytime and how can you not like Grilled Cheese vs Taco...
5.) 40 Year Old Virgin - Lots of memorable lines and probably Seth Rogen's funniest movie moments (yes, funnier than Knocked Up). The black dude that kept cheating on his girlfriend was funny also.
6.) Tropic Thunder - The cast is top notch and even the supporting characters are big names that know how to be funny (Mcaughney and Cruise). The Simple Jack stuff and fake trailers/commercials were genius also.
7.) Old School - Vince Vaughn's funniest character and Will Ferrell was great. The scene at the kid's party with the dart gets me everytime..."You're crazy man..."
8.) Walk Hard - Eventhough this movie had penis hanging everywhere, it is Reily's funniest movie. Pam from The Office is good also as Dewey's GF/Wife. Arla loves the part where he is tripping on acid and everything is animated..."Oh no, it's a bad trip!!"
9.) Freddy Got Fingered - Probably me and Dave were the only people that saw this when it first came out. We thought it was genius though, especially the hospital and restuarant scenes..."i'm a hero...this is how you tread heroes around here", "this is a fancy restuarant". It has horrid reviews but I thought it was greatness. The animated scenes were great also..."look at my hoves".
10.) Nacho Libre - Lots of movies could have taken this spot but I went with this one because of Black's bad (but funny) mexican accent..."eagle powers, come to me". The skinny sidekick dude is funny also (Esqueleto).
Honorable Mentions: Idiocracy (this almost made #10), Happiness (I wish I could find a spot for it), Superbad (it's good - not great), Dodgeball, Team America, Zoolander, Talledega Nights, Stepbrothers, Pineapple Express, Wedding Crashers, Harold & Kumer, Beerfest...
So what is your list?
wedding crashers
I'm not good at making up my own lists, but I would have Zoolander near the top of my list.
Supertroopers
See why I can't make a list? I keep remembering better ones. I would also add Shaun of the Dead to my list.
I have it in my honorable mentions, it's definitely good...
I have it in my honorable mentions, it's definitely good...
Of the 2 movies I have seen from that group of actors, I thought Beerfest was better...
Never seen all of Shaun of the Dead, just bits and pieces. I thought Hot Fuzz was really funny though...
Are you kidding me ?! You are alone on this one.
Super Bad would be in my list. Nacho Libre would be closer to "Worst movies of the 2000's" for myself.
Something's Gotta Give
It Happened One Night
Wedding Crashers
cant remember more right now
super bad
Nope, I saw both and Super Troopers was funny but not as much to me...I'm certainly open to other people's lists though, mine is purely my opinion alone.
It's in my honorable mentions but I think it is a little overrated...
There hasn't been a movie this decade that has made me laugh out loud like Old School did.
the rest of my faves are in no particular order,
1. Old School
2. Meet the Parents
3. Scary Movie 2
4. Rush Hour 2
5. Van Wilder
6. Waiting
7. Napoleon D
8. Harold and Kumar
9. White Chicks
10. Saving Silverman (might be my #2)
11. Miss Congeniality (yeah I know.....cheese)
12. Elf
13. Me, Myself and Irene
14. Along came Polly
15. Anchorman
1999 movies that just missed the date cut: American Pie and Office Space
In Bruges was not a comedy, but still one of the more darkly humorous movies of the decade. A lot more funny than, say, Hot Rod or Knocked Up.
I know I'm in the minority here, but Borat was not at all funny IMHO.
Never saw it, maybe I will rent it sometime...
Office Space would be top 5 had it been in the 2000's...
from all the movies posted, i seem to recall laughing hardest at saving silverman and me, myself and irene...talking first time viewing and such...seems there should be more than those listed so far though...
South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut
ghostrider was funnier than in bruges. pretty much any recent movie with nick cage gives me fits.
i didn't see any of you at the theater watching office space!
damn johnny come latelies!
Let's see...top 10? Can't do 'em in order, but here's my list...
1. Superbad
2. Super Troopers
3. 40 Yr Old Virgin
4. Knocked Up
5. Saving Silverman
6. Step Brothers
7. Anchorman
8. Hot Rod
9. Old School
10. , I'll go w/ Kung Fu Panda. I know it's a kids movie, but it was friggin hilarious. "I mean, I didn't say that out LOUD. But, ya know, if he could read minds, he'd be like 'Whu?'".
And, Mex, Desflood is RIGHT on the money. In Bruges was a GREAT flick. Wonderfully dark humor and just a good all-around movie. I also recommend it.
1. meet the parents
2. supertroopers
4. lil miss sunshine
5. napoleon
6. old school
7. dodgeball
8. 40 yr old virgin
9. anchorman
10. road trip
oh and how can I forget Kung Fu Hustle. that is definitely in top 10
