What do you think is the best 2008 comedy?

I cant pick just on so here are my top three in no order:

Tropic Thunder
Pineapple Express
Forgetting Sarah Marshall

In leaning towards Pineapple Express but Tropic Thunder was extremely funny too!

Zack & Miri Make A Porno

TROPIC THUNDER - absolutely loved this movie

agree that both "zack and miri", as well as "forgetting sarah" were both very good comedies imo, and i got quite a few good laughs out of pineapple express to, which earns bonus points for taking stoner comedy up a couple levels.

Hear me out here. I am serious when I say the funniest film of 2008 was actually...

Gran Torino

It is not a comedy, but it was very funny and I laughed out loud harder than at any official comedy in 2008.

I saw it in the theater opening weekend and the audience roared with laughter at Walt Kowalski's (sp?) statements. Now, I'm in no way condoning racial slurs or stating that racial slurs are funny. What was funny, however, was the fact that this old man was so set in his ways to call even his closest friends the most ridiculous names. And some of his friends called him the same names too.

2008 was a fantastic year for comedies

1. Tropic Thunder
2. Zack and Miri Make a Porno
3. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
4. Pineapple Express
5. Harold & Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo Bay

Petra_Kalbrain · 03-02-2009, 01:45 PM

Tropic Thunder takes the cake for me.
Zack & Miri Make A Porno gets the icing.

Mike53421 · 03-02-2009, 01:48 PM

Zack and Miri Make A Porno
Tropic Thunder

Did people forget Role Models or are we just not ranking it as the best? It was quite the sleeper, I enjoyed it and I think it's on DVD/BD pretty soon.

clownface · 03-02-2009, 01:52 PM

1. Step Brothers
2. Pineapple Express
3. Tropic Thunder

langn08 · 03-02-2009, 01:53 PM

Step Brothers
Zack and Miri Make A Porno
Forgetting Sarah Marshall

assydingo · 03-02-2009, 01:56 PM

Step Brothers and Tropic Thunder

There's a few I still haven't seen though. Not a big comedy fan honestly.

Rantlers · 03-02-2009, 02:02 PM

Step Brothers
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Harold & Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo Bay

mikejet · 03-02-2009, 02:21 PM

Forgetting Sarah Marshal. Love this film. Tropic Thunder really close behind it.

Agreed.

xander · 03-02-2009, 02:30 PM

Tropic Thunder or Pineapple Express for sure.

Sex Drive deserves some love in this thread too, I was shocked how funny it was. Too bad nobody saw it in theater, but I highly recommend seeking out the Blu that dropped last week.

krazeyeyez · 03-02-2009, 02:51 PM

lmao forgot about step brothers, the bunk bed scene was classic, so was the night vision goggles line
