The Comedy Room

[meta4]

Whats your favorite comedy and why?

I will start with an all time (one of many) favorite of mine and the reason why it is, is because it has always made me laff my arse off :rotf:

Yeah. Life of Brian is great. I saw it at the Cinema. A lot of people got upset about it, but the dialog was brilliant and the gags were hilarious.

This one cracks me up every time. Cleese reminds me of my Latin teacher.

But yeh cheers for the post seis m8 :tu:

Can't argue with Life of Brian, definitely one of the greats.

I've a soft spot for all the classics I guess (some like it hot, odd couple, young frankenstein, ladykillers...)

Was a big fan of Steve Martins earlier stuff (Man with Two Brains, The Jerk etc)

I guess nowadays I prefer stuff with a darker edge, not straight 'comedy'. Maybe something like the Coen Brothers (Big Lebowski, Barton Fink etc), Chuck and Buck, Being John Malkovich, Happiness... Wes Andersons films are pretty funny in that affected way of his, Royal Tenenbaums was great.

So, did you want just one film?

Ok, recently, laughed like a drain at Gentlemen Broncos. From the Napolean Dynamite guy, actually quite an awkward watch but if you're into scifi at all (particularly pulp scifi novels) then a must see.

It can be anything from a couple of minutes to a whole film. Its entirely up to you. This can be like a drop in center for posting favorite comedy scenes. Great description of your favorite classics btw. I enjoyed reading it :tu:

I grew up on Python and Mel Brooks films. Life of Brian is one of my all-time favorites. I enjoyed a lot of comedy from the UK. Back in the mid-late 80's MYV rebroadcast the Young Ones. I watched them over and over.

Very sad to hear of Rik Mayall's passing last year.

I've just got to throw this one in the mix. As a kid, I saw this in the theater when it came out, and I still love it!

What an all star line up!

So you can have a dark side?
