morelike safer (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 06:52 (fifteen years ago)

FACT: While there are definitely "better" comedies, but there is no film ever made that has more rapid, consistent and nonstop lols that South Park

In recent memory, I remember creasing up at the Hangover.

Pineapple Express

there's like 2 jokes in the last half of this movie

Whats with all the littering? (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 17:54 (fifteen years ago)

Maybe I laughed extra long at them.

bamcquern, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 18:02 (fifteen years ago)

Yeah, you're right though: the movie gets all poignantly homowhatever.

^^^^this - why'd it have to go and get all action-y? Soon as I realized the threats on these guys' lives were real and not just hysterical (and hysterically funny) doper paranoia, much of my interest was lost

nate woolls, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 21:04 (fifteen years ago)

iirc it was scientifically proven that zoolander was funny: Is ZOOLANDER supposed to be a comedy?

iatee, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 21:06 (fifteen years ago)

Zoolander is crap 22

there are 22 of us!

Mr. Que, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 21:07 (fifteen years ago)

do unintentionally funny films count, because the first movie I thought of was "Twisted"

STAY ALIVE USING EQUIPMENT (HI DERE), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 21:07 (fifteen years ago)

I didn't laugh once at either Zoolander or Wet Hot American Summer. WHAS is one of the worst films I've ever seen, I think.

that new wave hippie disco shit (herb albert), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 21:12 (fifteen years ago)

you know, i can fathom that some sad people might think zoolander is funny, but CANNOT fucking imagine how someone would think it would be more consistantly funny over 90 minutes than gag-a-minute flicks like South Park, Naked Gun, Airplane, Stepbrothers or Holy Grail or whatev

BlaptainYourass (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 21:14 (fifteen years ago)

or even like freddie got fingered for that matter

BlaptainYourass (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 21:14 (fifteen years ago)

maybe because it is not a 'gag-a-miunte' flick but rather a sophisticated satire that tears apart the male modeling industry

BlaptainYourass (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 21:19 (fifteen years ago)

Tootsie is good (just watched it again the other night) but it's hardly gag-a-minute-laffs, unless you think intrusive saxophone solos on the sdtk are funny

Whats with all the littering? (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 21:21 (fifteen years ago)

intrusive sax solos are the cornerstone of my sense of humor

South Park used musical numbers as a crutch imo, still mad about that.

I'm with Whiney on this one - both on the meaning of the thread and that South Park wins it
