Half of my ballot made it, so I'm happy. I'm sad about the absence of The Great Muppet Caper (HUGELY underrated) and I'm baffled by the absence of The Man With Two Brains (which I guess can be chalked up to much fewer people seeing it than The Jerk).

haha some of y'all really went to bat on this 'unintentional comedy' shit

― some dude, Wednesday, April 4, 2012 6:53 PM (1 minute ago)

not really, i think i only have 2 on my list

and one's in your top 10. went to bat.

I love that, so far, I'm the only person to vote for Unfaithfully Yours, Shop Around The Corner & Balls Of Fury. I hope this doesn't change.

for your reference: how im gonna make up something universal, doesnt even make any sense: IT"S THE TOP 100 COMEDY FILMS RESULTS THREAD

^a link to the complete results (all 663 movies that received votes)

So, like, roughly 75% of my ballot showed up in the top 120. I guess I'm more in line with ILXor comedic sensibilities than I thought.

Bah, I curse you for ruining my fantasy, but I thank you for the stats, AP.

And the poll itself, of course!

and one's in your top 10. went to bat.

― some dude, Wednesday, April 4, 2012 6:58 PM (13 minutes ago)

bah went to bat means voting against reality, troll 2 is def in the top ten funniest movies ive ever seen and if youd seen it you might get that

I love that, so far, I'm the only person to vote for Unfaithfully Yours, Shop Around The Corner & Balls Of Fury. I hope this doesn't change.

So in the end only 3 of my top ten made it, I guess I'm not as close to the hivemind as I initially thought.

lol apologies, tuomas! I mistook Addicted To Love for being in your 3rd place rather than 48th.

My ballot is in the order of points given, i.e. I only gave Addicted to Love 3 points. I like most of Harry Met Sally a lot, but I find its ultimate answer to the "Can men and women be just friends?" dilemma so disappointing (according to the movie they can't) that I can't really vote for it.

it's a little discomforting to me how in sync i am with Tuomas (on Addams Family Values, UHF, Clue and Coming To America, among others)

loooool @ tuomas's biggest issue with when harry met sally being that it does not square with his marc loi view of gender relations

still pretty shocked that clue didnt place. clue is 100% awesome.

Some Dude, how old are you? I was born in 1979, so UHF, Clue, Coming to America (as well as Spaceballs, Gremlins 2, etc) were all movies that I voted first and foremost because they were childhood favourites, I must've watched all of them about 20 times on VHS as a kid. (Though I've seen them all as an adult too, and still liked them perfectly fine.)

you can't get morbsy on that tip, dog, i seen your ballot (xpost)

aight fair enough croup

tuom i was born in '82. i didn't see Clue until i was an adult and the other movies i mentioned are funnier to me now than when i was a kid, oddly enough.

loooool @ tuomas's biggest issue with when harry met sally being that it does not square with his marc loi view of gender relations

It's not a "Marc Loi view", 90% of my close friends are women, so I find the movie's point personally inconsistent, regardless of my political views.

Wait, I left My Man Godfrey off my ballot? Ugh.

Pee Wee’s Big Adventure
Ghostbusters
Grandma’s Boy
Young Frankenstein

Dr Strangelove

oh oops i thought we were bolding the ones that didn't make it

most are

some of us did that, some of us did the opposite, as usually happens on ballot threads. the former makes way more sense to me since ostensibly you wanna draw more attention to the movies you love that didn't already get discussed on the main thread, but to each his own i guess. (xpost)

Did my best to avoid the Hollywood Crass Machine, which meant ignoring how much my 11 year-old self had giggled at Airplane and considering only that when I tried to watch it recently it didn't make me laugh. I guess I'm after a more profound, resonant, ambitious comedy these days, which is why I voted for South Park

I put my favourite film of all time at #2 because while it's deeply comedic, it's so much more than a comedy. My #1 is nothing more, and, crucially, nothing less.

Feels good to be on Team Bruges, too.

2nd post of the week but I missed out about 3 weeks back so we're sticking with the plan here guys

almost voted for 'bringing up baby' but tbh i sometimes find it more terrifying than funny (tho always great).

the hollywood crass machine!

lj if you like bringing up baby that much plz watch his girl friday right away if you havent already

i thought that i had a really dark/sick sense of humor, but edward III you really take the cake wr2 that sort of thing. esp. w/ all of those Todd Solondz films & w/ barton fink as yer top-ranked Coen Bros joint!

(not a critique of you or those films, just an observation!)

no worries, I figured I'd win some sort of bleakest ballot award

half my picks placed so I guess I'm not a complete freak... still managed to get into 3 "that's not comedy!" debates in the results thread tho

I had a lot of movies place! Here's my full 50-film ballot:

was UHF your #2 or 49?

wait wait wait UHF made the poll?

#129 - 188 pts - 8 votes - 0 first place: UHF

Hmm I thought it placed in the first day, but I'm not the best at double-checking these things...
Ghostbusters 2as my #1, followed by 2, 3, etc...

2as = was

I'm actually a little surprised UHF didn't make it.

Always (unfairly) confuse and downgrade UHF because of the existence of Stay Tuned.

damn, i really need to see My Man Godfrey

i'm happiest that not only was i not the only person who voted for back to school, but that the other person who voted for it gave it even more (a LOT more) points than i did.

You really do, rob! Amazing ballot btw - my partner's been trying to get me to watch Ball of Fire, guess I'd better get around to it.

If Al's still reading this thread - why Black Sheep? You're the first person I've known to express a liking for that film, and I've lived with people who worked on it, heh. Guess it codes differently outside NZ / isn't tainted by how much of a dick the director is.

21 of my votes wound up in the final countdown, which i guess makes me pretty squarely ILX-centric in my comedy tastes:

That's a great ballot!

(Well I mean, I haven't seen most of those movies, which might be why I like it so much)

emil.y's is my fav ballot here!

If Al's still reading this thread - why Black Sheep? You're the first person I've known to express a liking for that film, and I've lived with people who worked on it, heh. Guess it codes differently outside NZ / isn't tainted by how much of a dick the director is.

well i guess i'm a sucker for horror comedy/parody (note that my ballot also includes Dead Alive, Shaun Of The Dead, Addams Family Values, Young Frankenstein, etc.) and Black Sheep is just one of those little known movies i've gotten very evangelical about, because it was one of those rare "oh this has a funny premise, let's watch it" rentals that actually turned out to be really funny and entertaining imo.

also really need to see more of the Ealings.

my partner's been trying to get me to watch Ball of Fire

@etc: I'm a pretty big Stanwyck stan (ha), and if you are too, you shouldn't hesitate (you may in fact die during the Gene Krupa "Drum Boogie" sequence). that said, it's generally not as beloved as say Bringing Up Baby. Having just seen Design for Living though, I think I'd like Ball of Fire even more now: it turns out Gary Cooper is both weirdly attractive and funny. there's a bunch on your list I need to check out, like all of your bollywood picks--I should have nominated the original Don, that movie is hilarious.

My ballot:

1. Trouble in Paradise
2. Tootsie
3. My Man Godfrey
4. Ghostbusters
5. Duck Soup
6. The Lady Eve
7. Sleeper
8. Slap Shot
9. Bringing Up Baby
10. I ::heart:: Huckabees
11. The Horse's Mouth
12. Good Morning
13. His Girl Friday
14. Metropolitan
15. Flirting With Disaster
16. A Fish Called Wanda
17. Rushmore
18. Midnight (1938)
19. The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear
20. Sherlock Jr

Midnight is a 1939 romantic comedy (with some elements of screwball comedy) directed by Mitchell Leisen and written by Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder based on a story by Edwin Justus Mayer and Franz Schulz.[1] It starred Claudette Colbert, Don Ameche and John Barrymore.

okay, I really need to see that too.

I was the only person to vote for:

Henry Fool
The President's Analyst
The Last Detail
Ernest Saves Christmas
Brewster's Millions
Innerspace

Midnight is amazing despite starring Don Ameche. If you're a Barrymore or Mary Astor fan, this movie does as much for their comedy chops as Twentieth Century (which almost made my ballot) and The Palm Beach Story do.

'midnight' is awesome indeed. i'm tempted to call it my favorite billy wilder movie.

lol, actually, because of Heaven Can Wait, Don Ameche was part of the attraction

<3 emil.y's ballot. Solidarity.

agreed

old movies suuuuuuuck soooooo muchhhhhh

Nothing that puts me to sleep that quickly can be all bad.

I say just do away with all silents and program, instead, episodes of The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross.

never knew Alfred flat-out hated Billy Wilder that much either

I can't understand why anyone would hate him, but I can understand being underwhelmed by his post-Willy Wonka output.

........

Come on, dude. You're taking the wind out of Morbs' enraged spit-take sails with your run-on ellipses!

old movies suuuuuuuck soooooo muchhhhhh

Come on, dude. You're taking the wind out of Morbs' enraged spit-take sails with your run-on ellipses!

fyi Billy Wilder is a director with 2 films in the top 100 (both of which predate literally every single movie on your ballot), not the guy who played Willy Wonka

Big <3 for everyone who voted for Gremlins 2! The moment where the film "jams" and goes into TV static (or burns and goes into white screen in the cinema version), only for the Gremlins to appear and play shadow puppets is on of my favourite moments in the history of cinema. I remember me and my friends totally fell for it the first time we saw the movie; we were all like "OH NO, did the video break up?!", only to burst into hysterical laughter afterwards.

SD, pretty sure "Morbs' enraged spit-take" is a sign DWH was making a joke

Yeah, I don't think anyone could mix up Billy Wilder with Johnny Depp.

Lol I think he meant Gene Wilder, Tuomas

I know.

Just trying add my bit to the comedy of misunderstandings.

(My bad)

never knew Alfred flat-out hated Billy Wilder that much either

Some Like It Hot would def make a top forty.

I was the other Midnight voter. It has one of my favourite visual jokes ever (John Barrymore's phone message if you've seen it). I also had Twentieth Century on my ballot, Lombard and Barrymore together is just like catnip to me.

Thanks for clarifying, some dude, as I was genuinely, genuinely confused and my Google was totally broken at the time that I wrote that. When I saw but one set of footprints in the sand etc. etc.

no morbs but i was just going off the cultural radar depicted by your ballot

also if my sarcasm detector is broken, it's from you overstimulating with every single post in these threads for the past week

It's cool, dude. Although, following your logic, why would I have any keener an idea who Gene Wilder was (aside from being the dude who starred in Haunted Honeymoon?

(Also, I'd argue that a list of favored comedy films isn't necessarily terribly indicative of one's cultural radar.)

well, your ballot goes back to the mid-'70s, when Gene was at his peak and Billy was still around but not really doing anything that's been widely remembered
