Lets debate about comedies

[richieb1971]

I don't want to start a flame war or anything, just to say that before I say my point.

My friend loves comedies, or so he thinks. Everytime I ask him what do you want to watch he says "have you got any new comedies". But on the odd occasion when we watch a comedy I never find it funny at all. I don't hear him laugh either.

The loudest i've ever heard him laugh is the Ewok scene in return of the jedi when I showed him it years ago on VHS. A few days ago we watched the Blu ray of Total Recall and again laughter roared. Then we watch Knocked up, a comedy, it was ok, but it didn't set us alight like the other movies did.

So I hope I have carried my point across. Comedy works better in a non comical movie. When your not expecting it.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is more funny in Total Recall than the last 5 comedies I've watched put together.

So what comedy do you like thats so damn funny? I can count about 3.

See no evil hear no evil
Team America
Spaceballs

And i'll add 40 year old virgin in there as well, and perhaps night of the museum. Mind you, I don't exactly go out of my way to watch these movies.
