What is the funniest movie or show that you have ever seen?

I am not sure that I can answer that, but I do a scene in which I burst out laughing so hard that I could not help but think I hadn't laughed that hard since I was a boy.

It was the scene in the South Park episode "Medicinal Fried Chicken", which is really a great one. In this episode, South Park's KFC has gone out of business and has been replaced with a medical marijuana dispensary. Discovering this, Stan's dad, Randy, tries to give himself testicular cancer so he can score medicinal weed and get stoned. Randy's balls become enormous - like what we called in the early 1970s "Hippity Hops" and I still think they are called that. Since Randy can't walk, he gets around town by bouncing on his hippity hop like testicles. However, Randy says "Chicks love 'em"... and they do! So all the men around town are giving themselves testicular cancer! And then this happens...

When the dozen or so men of South Park are bouncing on their enormous testicles like Hippity Hops with that corny 1960s-ish clown music, I just couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Wow thank you so so much!!! I loveeee South Park omg.
I’m not sure if you’ve seen it, but the funniest but dirtiest scene for me was the “milking the dog” scene 😭 where the parents of the boy had other men/women over and they were discussing a book I think…and then during the meeting the boy began “milking the dog” and it was just so hilarious the way the guests reacted

[abc3643]

I believe you are referring to this scene in Season 5 Episode 7 "Proper Condom Use" in which Cartman does a "red rocket" with a dog.

@abc3643

I think the scene she’s referring to about the parents is in this video:

https://youtu.be/81NARDscUnA

It starts at 0:52

[abc3643]

@Lorainperryxox I think that's in the same episode? Or is that in "Stan's Dog Is Gay"?

[FunkyMonkee]

Funniest t. v. shows: Soap, Black Books, Monty Pythons Flying Circus, Fawlty Towers, The Blackadder, The Young Ones, In Living Color.
Funniest movies, pretty much anything the Zucker brothers ever did, Hardware Wars, Closet Cases Of The Nerd Kind, The Lemon Man, The Dove, Surf II, Blazing Saddles.

[Asker]

Thank you so much for the helpful list! :)

[FunkyMonkee]

No problem!! I can probably come up with more (like, nearly all of the Marx Brothers movies. "The Big Store" had its moments but it was their worst.).

[NamerOfStars]

If you're looking for movies, I'd start with Duck Soup, Young Frankenstein, and Airplane!. Not necessarily the funniest work of any of those groups, but the most accessibly so. The Marx Brothers, Mel Brooks, and Zucker, Abrams and Zucker are three of the funniest filmmakers I've ever seen. Those movies will give you an idea of their types of humor, and which, if any, appeal to you.

[Asker]

Thank you so much for the generous list! Duck Soup definitely sounds like an interesting one—will definitely check them all out :)

[Asker]

So I just looked for Duck Soup online, and it popped up as a movie musical made in 1933. Is this the one you’re referring to?

[NamerOfStars]

Yes. Don't let the age (or the lack of color; it WAS 1933, after all) put you off; it's the Marx Brothers.

[Lliam]

Second City TV (SCTV) and In Living Color were great TV shows. I guess I'd add Monte Python's Flying Circus.

As for movies, my favorites are Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles.
The Quite Man cracks me up every time.
A Shot in the Dark, The Pink Panther.

[Flower7]

The funniest movie I’ve seen was “Soul Plane.” That’s the only movie that’s made me laugh so much. I usually don’t laugh out loud at all when watching things, but with this movie, it happened a lot.

[Fromdusktilldawn]

I am still laughing my ass off with Scary Movie, even though its immature comedy but still. Mr Bean is a childhood comedy legend and also the Naked Gun movies.

[Asker]

Yess Mr. Bean is definitely one of my top favorite funny shows

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I watched it last time made me laugh a lot

It’s a thunderstorm outside, I am cozied up in bed and plan to watch comedies too.

[Anonymous]

I don't think I could narrow it down to one. But have you given Rick and Morty a try? It's hilarious because Rick is essentially the smartest guy in the universe but he's so petty. And constantly loaded all the time. He's got a dysfunctional family that probably anyone today can relate to at least some part of it. 😆

[4ngelic]

for movies, coming to america, that shit is straight up hilarious

for tv shows, the good place or live up to your name. they had me laughing the whole time

[reds-noro]

Monthy Python and the Holy Grail is hands down the funniest thing on earth.

[strateguy632]

the funniest show was jeff dunham and his silly puppets. i dont know which of his wins best but all funny.

[OlderAndWiser]

"Substitute Teacher," by Key & Peele, is the funniest video I've watched.

[Siri137]

The Joe Biden Show. It never fails to deliver the laughs! :D

[abc3643]

Still better than The Trump Show which, fortunately, was cancelled. However, Trump will star in the sequel "Orange Is The New Orange" soon enough.

[Siri137]

@abc3643 Nah, Trump was a great president, the best you've had since that other Republican who freed the slaves from the Democrat KKK.

[abc3643]

You have a lot of growing up to do.
Trump has already been rated by multiple historians as among the worst presidents and, after this year, he may be the worst.

Which, in a way, is a shame.
His policies and stuff are normal GOP-type stuff, so that's not all that bad, but his personality as a leader, a hate monger, being a serial fabulist, and being a bully to his own GOP has created almost unparalleled hostility in this county. In other words, all the "good" he may have done has been undone by his rampant immature narcissism.

[Siri137]

@abc3643 "multiple historians" - name one.

[abc3643]

There are historian polls every few years.

In particular is the Siena College poll which always makes the news. Started in 1982, they did their 7th poll of historians in 2022. The link below is to their 7th poll which was conducted in 2022.

scri.siena.edu/.../
TITLE: American Presidents: Greatest and Worst

"Worst Five Again – Andrew Johnson, Buchanan, Trump, Harding & Pierce"

"The Siena College Research Institute (SCRI) Survey of U. S. Presidents is based on responses from 141 presidential scholars, historians and political scientists that responded via mail or web to an invitation to participate. Respondents ranked each of 45 presidents on a scale of 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent) on each of twenty presidential attributes, abilities and accomplishments. Overall rankings were computed by assigning equal weight to each of those twenty categories. For additional information about the survey visit www.siena.edu/sri/research or contact Don Levy at 518-783-2901, dlevy@siena. edu."

Death at a funeral is really funny. And so is Hangover.

[VanessaValentine]

Who’s that girl?

who’s that girl?

Its Jess!

[Tyrael]

So many different genres of comedy. So many choices.

Maybe Wayne's World? Impossible really.

[CuriousMufuxka]

Not Another Teen Movie and Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood! For shows I'm going The Office and How I Met Your Mother.

[Unknown29]

I haven’t watched that many movies, but True Lies is hilarious.

[Anonymous]
