First of all are Abbot and Costello greater than the Three Stooges, the Marxist Brothers and Laurel and Hardy?

I think so. They're certainly the most erotic

Airplane. Mean Girls is a close second.

Special mention to anything Police Squad/Leslie Nielsen.

Not even the best Brooks film. The Producers and Young Frankenstein are better.

Best in terms of lasting appeal or sheer first-watch comedy value?
Maybe Black Dynamite for the former, and Borat for the latter.

You guys are on the right lines, I think serious movies with a lot of comic elements work better because the jokes will eventually fade, but the contrast with the violent action won't, making it funny again. On those lines:

>The Rock
>Starship Troopers
>Grindhouse: Planet Terror
>Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country
>Total Recall

I watched Blazing Saddles so much as a little kid that a wore through 2 VHS copies. Still holds up. Also watched the Blues Brothers and Trading Places nonstop.

City Lights or Annie Hall

It's also spoken by the French, thus nullifying any merits.
>>
I can't really just pick one.

Best spoof is between Young Frankenstein and Airplane. (honorable mention to Police Squad/Naked Gun)

Best original comedy for me is The Producers, everybody in that film delivers pitch perfect comedic performances. Probably the best cast Mel ever worked with.

Best black comedy is Withnail and I.

Best unintentional comedy is probably M. Night's The Happening. It feels like a Neil Breen film but with proper money behind it which only makes it more laughable.

Does Men in Black count as a comedy film?
>>
Animal house is komedykino
>>
>>80417275
Of course. its got a fair amount of action but its definitely a goofy high concept comedy at heart.

Its not my favourite but its undoubtedly an excellent example of how to make broad but still entertaining blockbuster comedy for the masses. Shame about the sequels though.

>>80417123
French sounds awful

Does American Psycho count as a comedy? Because that was probably the funniest film I've seen.
>>
>>80415991
Unironically agree. Dumb movie of the same genre really don't do it for me, but that movie somehow makes me laugh everytime.

>>80413134

Kek, why is that so funny?
I like The Three Stooges best, butI'm biased.
