    Great list!!! SO HARD to choose!
    Thanks, but c'mon The Jerk is a comedy masterpiece.

    It is and that is a horrible scene...

    I might of added Space balls in there too instead of Dumb&Dumber.  D&D is a 90's movie where all the rest are late 70's early 80's movies.

    The Naked Gun
    Fletch is another one I could watch over and over, but Caddy is better.  Hilarious movie.
    Anchorman is probably the most recent movie I could put in this formidable group.

    I can fully understand why some don't like Dumb & Dumber.....but there are scenes that still make me laugh like crazy

    I loved D&D when I was younger. Idiotic and ridiculous humor much like other great 90's comedies Kingpin, There's Something About Mary and Happy Gilmore. I think they are definitely in a different comedy sphere than Caddy, The Jerk or Young Frankenstein. Much more satire in those classics instead of bathroom humor.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Da fuck! People voting for The Jerk or Caddyshack or Young Frankenstein?

    This poll about comedy has become a tragedy.

    Some people. SMH.
    Some folks know Peter Boyle only as Frank Barone.
    I knew him as Clyde Bruckman first.

    Ah, I hadn’t watched that series enough to remember him. Still, Young Frank precedes that!

    I love the original Dumb &  Dumber. Think it's one of he funniest of all time. Can't even count how many times I've seen this.
    Same here. I'm surprised how many votes it's getting. 


    I always liked The Jerk but feel like it's mistitled. A "jerk" is a mean person, like an asshole. I think Navin was more of a dumbass than a jerk. Maybe "The Moron" would've been a better title.

    It's about 10 minutes or so to get used to the idea of what's going on and then it's just a friggin riot.

    Any movie with Rodney dangerfield, bill murray and Chevy chase in their primes is gold. Pure gold…

    Monty Python and the Holy Grail
    I think you either love or hate Monty Python , I just hated it all and my best friend growing up would watch this movie all the time along with other MP movies.

    How can there be so many votes for the Grail?  It’s total genius.

    I picked it for family movie night a while back. 

    Nothing has made me prouder as a father than when I hear them quote it.

    I got my 12 year old daughter to watch.  She absolutely loved it.  Watched it again by herself 48 hours later. I am extremely proud too.  The wife hates it and is in shock that my daughter quotes it, particularly the Frenchman.
