OT: Your Favorite Comedy

[Terminus]

ORIGINAL: Kwik E Mart

movies - see my sig line...i think mike meyers is a comic genius...

tv - the recent comedy "The Office" has me in stitches every week! [:D]

I assume you mean the watered-down US version...?[:'(]

[Ron Saueracker]

SCTV

[captskillet]

ahhhhhhh SCTV.......now that brings back memories........Martin Mull , the McKenzie bros. (take off hoser [:D])....greatshow.........Sat Night Live in its early years was also a classic........I have never spewed beer out my nose so bad as when Akroid cut loose with his classic..."Jane you ignorant slut" [:D] [;)] !

There's so damn many... The Blues Brothers...

Blues brothers, good call.

[ny59giants]

For movies I would have to go with "Pink Panther" with Peter Sellers.
For TV shows it would be the first few years of "Saturday Night Live." The original cast was great and look how many of them did well after moving on into movies.
Others - Animal House, Caddy Shack, Mel Brooks movies, Rocky Horror Picture (if you brought all the extras to the movie theater at midnight [:D])

[Mike Scholl]

My favorite "comedy"?   I'd like to say "Brady and his Midgets---the neverending story".   But I'll go with "All in the Family".  Brilliant cast and writing week in and week out for years.

Or (and I know I shouldn't write this) the skit about the professional growth of certain herbal substances which shall remain nameless in which the punch line was...
"Look for, the Union label"

Or, the Bass-o-matic..

or, the new pain reliever - Triopenem.

Candy-gram...

Pretty much any Belushi movie makes the list...Animal House...1942

[Terminus]

Yup... The man was a genius...

[captskillet]

Slim Pickens and Belushi in 1942 are classic............Slim Pickens in the can on the Jap sub is great.............and who can forget Major Kong in Dr Strangelove...[;)]!

[Terminus]

The Three Amigos (Chase, Short and Martin). Brilliant film...

"You son of a motherless goat!"

[Monter_Trismegistos]

From foreign comedy film the best so far was "L'Enquete Corse" with Jean Reno.

[sacorsair]

Smokey and the Bandit

"there aint no way you could come from my loins, first thing I am gonna do when I get home is punch your momma in the mouth"

Sheriff Buford T Justice

[ctangus]

A lot of good ones here. If T hadn't mentioned The Blues Brothers, I surely would.

But even though I've seen several quotes from it on this forum, in people's sigs, nobody's mentioned The Princess Bride! [:-][;)]

As you wish...

[LargeSlowTarget]

Black Adder, Denis Leary, George Carlin, MWC, Michael Mittermeier [/align]

[qgaliana]

Funniest movie I ever saw wasn't even in English "Le diner des cons".
Honourable mentions to Holy Grail from MP and Pink Panther Strikes Again particularly of that series.

TV would have to be Kids in the Hall (Scott, we're concerned there's a rumour going around that you're not gay...)

Movies
1. Waynes World 2

"So there, I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopkeeper and his son... that's a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes. Nasty business, really, but sure enough I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show."

2. Office Space

"Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?"
"Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man."

3. Austin Powers - Internation Man of Mystery

"Dr. Evil: The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it. "

4. MP's and the Holy Grail

"Cleric: [reading] And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths, and carp and anchovies, and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit-bats and large chu..."
"Brother Maynard: Skip a bit, Brother..."
"Cleric: And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."
"Brother Maynard: Amen. "

5. Airplane

"Young Boy with Coffee: Excuse me, I happened to be passing, and I thought you might like some coffee. "
"Little Girl: Oh, that's very nice of you, thank you."
"Young Boy with Coffee: Cream?"
"Little Girl: No, thank you, I take it black, like my men."
