I think this list is "Movies that are only funny if you are very drunk"

Decent list - dumb ordering, though. Way too tilted to drunk college movies and recent indie flicks like Napolean Dynamite.

And, if that's the case, where the heck is 'Big Man On Campus'? Awesome drunk college movie.

For that matter, they missed the hidden 80's classic 'Real Genius'.

Wow I love the Wedding Singer but for that to be ahead of Dumb and Dumber?

I love seeing Sister Act on the list, lol. That movie is my guilty pleasure.

Sorry but 9 to 5 was about 55 times funnier than Anchorman.


Have you lost your mind?


Anchorman should have been much higher on that list. But then again, that's the worst list I've ever seen. Looks like 100 movies on a dartboard style of journalism.

I don't think 9 to 5 was very funny, but I certainly also don't think Anchorman belongs there. One or two SNL-type skits does not a classic comedy make.

Bravo should be ashamed of themselves. They totally pandered to newer movies simply because they had seen them more recently.

For example, Wayne's World is in a good position, but it was beaten by Meet the Fockers?? (Meet the Fockers also beat Meet the Parents, which was funnier IMO)

Shrek number three? Shrek was funny, but the 3rd best comedy of all time??

Fletch?
Grumpy Old Men?
Super Troopers?
Monty Python's Life of Brian?

... and the biggest mistake, no Some Like It Hot, which was voted the #1 comedy of all time by AFI...

And the fact that they actually included Zoolander on the list ruins what little credibility they have left.

Sheesh - I didn't notice Zoolander. Definitely invalidates the list. What a terrible movie...

Dumb and Dumber at 75 is a discrace. That is top 10 easy.

Nope. My wife and I may have chuckled(not laughed) during about 2 parts of anchorman! VERY BOORING MOVIE! In fact I would say Will Ferrells worst by far!

I was exactly the same way. I thought the whole thing was like a series of corny SNL skits. In fact, the "*****" scene is right where I had enough.

It takes more than a few weenie jokes to make me laugh. :roll:

I did not laugh during Anchorman. I laughed very little during Animal House.

I find it hard to believe any of these movies are funnier than The Tramp. How many movies are so funny they transcend five generations? That would be a good mark for this list, and if you think like that, this list is radically different.

- Broadcast News is probably the most overrated movie of all time. Even Al Brooks has had better movies. MUCH better movies.

- Annie Hall is one of the most important movies of the 70s and Allen's landmark comedy. If Allen is important, this movie should rank WAY higher.

- I see a lot of movies on here that are only funny to producer-types who think binge drinking and scandalizing women = funny. I'm surprised Porky's didn't make it based on that criteria.

- Even the clever, witty movies in this group ranked too low. Waiting for Guffman was brilliant, as was This is Spinal Tap. Young Frankenstein and Bull Durham are two of what I would consider the best written comedies of all time. I would rank all of this MUCH, MUCH higher.

- Arthur? Really? Man, I resent the entire Dudley Moore era.

And where is As Good As It Gets? That's a brilliant movie from start to finish.

Is there a link to this list somewhere? AFI listed Some Like It Hot as the best comedy of all time, and it's not listed at all on Bravo's top 100. I wonder if they have specific criteria--maybe only can use movies of the past 30 years or something? That would explain no Some Like It Hot, Philadelphia Story, Gold Rush, Modern Times, City Lights, The General, etc...
