I've seen some of the ones you've mentioned and yep they are funny and cringeworthy all at the same time LOL. <br />My fav of your pics is George of the Jungle and yes Brendon Fraser is the main reason, but I think he pulls off the dopey Tarzan so well!<br />I do enjoy Jackie Chan comedies as well such as "Shanghai Noon".<br />I love romantic comedies the most (no surprise there). <br />TSBO devotee <br />VeeVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834446584740466339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-89334614874178007472010-04-29T11:56:36.066-04:002010-04-29T11:56:36.066-04:00I love Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, all of...I love Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, all of the Airplane movies and Pink Panther...But then there's the all of the Monty Python movies too oh, and A Fish Called Wanda.

Wet blanket or too shamed to admit you...LOL Amelia! Wet blanket or too shamed to admit you are a closet stupid comedy lover? Ha! Just kidding. It's OK, inane humor is not for everyone! :)<br /><br />Yes, Danielle, Zoolander is a great example. I am not a huge fan of that one, although my daughter loves it and my son does the Zoolander pose all the time to crack us up. <br /><br />Excellent, Tawna! I thought of Family Vacation too and almost put it on the list, but had to stop myself somewhere! I hoped someone would mention it. Another Chevy Chase classic. I almost added Fletch, but then I realized it didn't quite fall into the "stupid" category as it had a plot. <br /><br />The Wedding Singer is one of my favorite romantic comedies, Cindy, and definitely my favorite Sandler movie. We have that on DVD and honestly watch it at least once or twice a month. But both Wedding Singer and Groundhog Day fall into a different category, IMO, due to the plot having a tad more depth and the slapsticky antics minimal. I know, a grey area! <br /><br />I also thought of Robin Hood Men in Tights. Another Mel Brooks classic not quite of the brilliance as Blazing Saddles and YF, but close behind. My favorite Cary Elwes after Princess Bride.Sharon Lathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09539439531975181469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-43816537513918966132010-04-27T17:11:08.001-04:002010-04-27T17:11:08.001-04:00Some GREAT choices here, Sharon!
I'm not that...Some GREAT choices here, Sharon!<br /><br />I'm not that crazy about Adam Sandler, but I LOVE The Wedding Singer. And Bill Murray in some of his older comedies was FABULOUS! I think my favorite was Groundhog Day. Chevy Chase in Christmas Vacation has me rolling on the floor every time!<br /><br />As for George of the Jungle... Brendan Fraser in a butt-flap, what's NOT to love?!?! ;-)<br /><br />ACLoucinda McGary aka Aunty Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217492654108300014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-6679192726990644742010-04-27T13:55:01.390-04:002010-04-27T13:55:01.390-04:00National Lampoon's "Family Vacation,"...National Lampoon's "Family Vacation," plus "Christmas Vacation."

But I love the kind of humor in movies like Romancing the Stone, My Fair Lady, Something's Gotta Givea and there was another Jack Nicholson film where he had a compulsive disorder that was so funny.<br />AmeliaAmeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07603588884175706382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-87052021976396121522010-04-27T10:46:30.918-04:002010-04-27T10:46:30.918-04:00My boys love stupid movies, and so I've been w...My boys love stupid movies, and so I've been watching them for years now.

He pokes fun at everything in a way that truly can be profound. Although I am not sure the average viewer gets it, which, of course, is part of the joke! <br /><br />Get Smart is another great example of a stupid comedy. Thinking of Steve Martin I also was remembering The Jerk. Pretty classic stupid comedy there! My kids were talking about Animal House the other day too, and that sure is a fabulous example of the genre.<br /><br />Any more?Sharon Lathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09539439531975181469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-89990019462569148712010-04-27T09:31:49.825-04:002010-04-27T09:31:49.825-04:00I haven't seen all of those, Sharon, but it...I haven't seen all of those, Sharon, but it's a great list!<br />I'd forgotten about Airplane.<br />"Do you like movies about gladiators?"

Airplane! <br /><br />But I have to take exception to calling Blazing Saddles a stupid comedy--even though you're right. It belongs in the genre.<br /><br />To me, it totally transcends the genre to become art. While spoofing westerns, many of the gags offer profound, arresting, and moving commentary about illusion and reality.<br /><br />When I taught, I frequently used scenes from it to illustrate my points.Mary Margrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04777940150169201630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-88009457661563406032010-04-27T08:37:01.695-04:002010-04-27T08:37:01.695-04:00Oh I think you covered the comedies great.
