I don't watch many comedies anymore. I'm not really sure why. I consider myself someone with a reasonable sense of humor. I grew up watching sitcoms like Sanford And Son, All In The Family, and Three's Company, three of my favorites, along with the Dean Martin Roasts, the latter still my all-time favorite funny television show. As for movies I grew up on the likes of Blazing Saddles, History Of The World-Part 1, and Young Frankenstein. My favorite comedy film remains National Lampoon's Animal House(1978). This movie is, IMO, a comic classic, chronicling the escapades of an academically-challenged fraternity at Faber College circa 1962. The members of this frat are motley to say the least- "Otter", always on the prowl for some female companionship, "Daniel Simpson Day", the guy with no grade-point-average who rides his motorcycle through the frathouse and likes to play around with his blow-torch, and "Blutarski"(played by John Belushi), the lovable, whiskey-chugging slob who likes foodfights. I love this movie. So tell me about your favorite comedy film and television series and why you like it so much. :D |

Ferris Buhler's Day Off is a comedy classic. Spaceballs, Ghostbusters, Animal House, and Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle are good too. Fav. sitcom is easily Seinfeld. :P |

I use to be a Saturday night live fan, back in the Belushi days; Jane Curtain; etc. - it could alway bring a laugh. Other comedies I enjoyed; three's company was great (the Ropers, what a couple!); Mash- I still like to occasionally watch the reruns, even though I've seen them a dozen times (probably more); and way way back, Hogan's Hero's. More recently I haven't been much of a comedy watcher- I think I've gotten too caught up in the Law and Order/ CSI in any form frame of mind. As for comedies as movies; The few I've watched- anything with Adam Sandler (currently watching Mr. Deeds; also really enjoy Happy Gilmore :D ); he's a riot. I did enjoy Ghost Buster movies; Tim Allen movies are always hilarious; Also, hard to believe, Arnold Schwartzenager in Kindergarten Cop; Also Jingle all the way. Hard to believe he could be so funny. |

Not sure if it's my favorite comedy film, but it sure ranks right up there....The Pink Panther Strikes Again. I really had never watched any of the Pink Panther films and had no desire to watch any, but one evening, I was still in high school and spending the night with my grandparents and they coaxed me into the den with them to watch this film. They kept assuring me that this was hilarious and although both grandparents had a great sense of humor, I had my doubts. Well, it wasn't long and I was laughing as much and as hard as the two of them....that was a great evening. As for favorite comedy TV series, I loved, All In the Family when Mike and Gloria were still living with Archie and Edith and I'm also a fan of, M*A*S*H when Frank was still part of the camp. The Golden Girls are also a lot of fun and I Love Lucy has long been a favorite of mine. |

Indeed. Happy Gilmore(1996) is a funny movie-among the film's highlight's for me: Happy Gilmore Vs Bob Barker. I have posted a "rematch" of this battle in the site's Fantasy Match forum, in case you're interested in how I think the rematch would turn out eyebrow |

Though I would have preferred Mr. Gilmore to win in the movie itself, I have to give Bob Barker credit for whipping Mr. Gilmore's ***.

I'm sure in real life Happy would have kicked Bob's hiney...... Let's face it; Bob Barker is a bit past the fighting age. |

I usually hate comedies, but there are a couple that I like: Shaun of the d ead Undercover Brother Kung Pow: Enter the Fist Oh, and nothing (TV show wise) beats Seinfeld as the best TV comedy. |

With the possible exceptions of his legal battles, including one of his former lovers-it was one of the women who used to work on The Price Is Right, I believe. I also understand Bob Barker is a tireless advocate for PETA related charities(for the humane treatment of animals). Old Bob still has some kick in him, though probably not enough anymore for Happy Gilmore. crazy |

Hard to choose a comedy film, but I do like The Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy (Not the movie, the old TV show), Mr Bean and Blackadder. |
