Just like the title says. Like Gene Siskel once said, the two things you cannot fake are an orgasm and a laugh.

Bad Santa-- I just cannot look at Billy Bob without thinking, "that effer banged Angelina" and I cannot suspend my disbelief enough to by him as a drunk mall Santa. It was much funnier to see Santa as a drunk degenerate when he was Dan Aykroyd in Trading Places.

Old School-- I don't find Wil Ferrell funny in the least. He tries way to hard to be funny and just falls flat. I don't remember even chuckling once.

Wedding Crashers-- Owen Wilson is likable enough. The movie was just way too formulaic and predictable for me to find it even remotely funny. 40 Year Old Virgin basically tells the same story but was much funnier.

Caddyshack --Bill Murray is amusing in it, but Chevy Chase is completely unfunny. It hasn't aged well, and I think that the critics were right when they blasted it when it came out. Classic it is not. For Bill Murry at his best, I prefer Groundhog Day, which is probably my favorite comedy ever.

Any Adam Sandler movie sans Happy Gilmore --I agree with Ebert when he pegged Sandler as a good supporting actor but not a leading man. His shtick is tiresome, with Click being the worst movie experience I had to endure with my children this year. God that movie was garbage.

Other movies I think are funny are Office Space, Being John Malkovich, This Is Spinal Tap, and There's Something About Mary.
 
Meh, I disagree with half of that list.

40 Year Old Virgin - It had some funny moments, But nothing that had me really laughing.
 
Wedding Crashers
Borat
Nacho Libre

I know there's more but I'm too tired to think of anymore.
 
This Is Spinal Tap--Unforunately, I never really liked this movie. It just didn't do it for me.
Jackass movies--Too dumb and childish!
Super Troopers--Some good moments, but overall it was too stupid!
Ali G in da house--I love Borat and Bruno but Ali G never amused me.
The Producers: The Musical--REALLY overrated! I LOVE the original 1968 film with a passion, but this broadway remake was crap! The original film was perfect, so I don't see why Mel Brooks had to turn it into a musical. If he wanted to take the Producers to broadway then fine, but it was perfect the way it was! Plus, Ferris Bueller and Timon are no match for Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel.

But...then again...what do I know? I actually like Police Academy 1-4. :o
 
The Wedding Crashers
40 Years Old Vrigin
Nacho Libre
Jackass: The Movie
 
I hate comedians who try too hard to be funny by overly improvising and making faces. I have liked Jim Carrey and Robin Williams in serious movies, but in comedies they often irritate me more than make me laugh. I like comedians who can be funny while still staying in character, like Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson.
 
All Adam Sandler Movies
Nacho Libre
RV
Jackass Movies
Office Space
Date Movie

basically 90% of the comedies that have come out in the past 15 years
 
Ice Age
Shrek

Those came to my mind first.
 
There is nothing remotely funny in any of the "Scary Movies". What they are is cheap and disgusting. Also, Napoleon Dynamite. That one stunk more than stunk more than a decade old pile of dog feces. :down:
 
I think that spaceballs is very overrated. It was decent with some funny moments, but i prefer another mel brooks films miles away before this movie like young frankenstein.

The whole owen wilson/ben stiller/vince vaughn/ etc bunch movies. Some good and funny moments, but nothing more.They are far on being comic genious or some like that.
 
napoleon dynamite
clerks
clerks II
nacho libre
my big fat greek wedding
wedding crashers
old school
all jackass movies
40 year old virgin

If they make people laugh, which unfortunetly they do, they are funny. That's the definition of funny. I hate them as much as you do.
 
I usually stay away from comedies since most of them are just plain stupid. Little Miss Sunshine is the best comedy i've seen in a long while. Clerks 2 was funny also,but it's not as smart as Little Miss Sunshine.

How they aren't funny? :eek: :confused:

Meet the Parents
Meet the Fockers
Dodgeball
There's Something about Mary
Starsky & Hutch

You want to say they weren't funny?
 
starky and hutch and dogdeball are crap.

The rest is decently funny, not nothing great. The best comedy of that bunch is there's something about mary, by far.

And i said that they arent that funny, not that they arent funny.
 
dodgeball was a damn funy movie, starky and hutch not so much....but still funny

I said movies, not people.
 
I never found "Clerks" to be all that funny, to be honest with you.

I just watched Little Miss Sunshine. I liked it a lot, but I didn't laugh once.
