It is hard to pick a favorite. let's just drop a grenade on this whole thread.

Is this politically incorrect?

Cheech and Chong are certainly dated today, but at the time, I thought they were pretty funny. I guess you can tell that I'm easily amused.
Perhaps that's why I spend so much time on this board.

Little Nicky
Young Frankenstein
Elf
Napoleon Dynamite
Hot Fuzz
Shaolin Soccer
The Original Pink Panther

I found all of those hysterical.

Its hard to pick a favorite, but if I had too, I'd probably say Ace Ventura, both are equally hilarious. Jim Carrey at his finest.

Some others:

Run Ronnie Run
Half baked
All the Monty Python flicks
Spaceballs

and so many more

I have a lot of favorites and will list them. I also didn't really like a lot of Steve Martin's early work. I think the humor tried to hard to be silly, although I still find parts of them amusing. Mel Brooks' early work was his best, with his later work being mildly amusing as there is no such thing as a terrible MB movie.

Mel Brooks:
Blazing Saddles
Silent Movie
Young Frankenstein

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Steve Martin:
Bowfinger
LA Story
All of Me
Roxanne

Airplane! (silly jokes and groaners, but funny and Leslie Nielsen was a serious actor until this movie)
S.O.B. (A hilarious movie about show business)
Victor, Victoria (a wonderful farce with the late great Robert Preston)
Any early Marx Brothers movie (many injokes for its time)
Mad4 World (loved it as a kid, appreciate it as an adult)
The Naked Gun Series (Leslie Nielsen is hilarious)

There are many others I can't think of, and many of the ones the other posters posted I liked.

The most recent film I've seen where I nearly wet myself was Knocked Up. The best scene for me was at the circus in Vegas and they're tripping on shrooms.

"No! Don't clap! You'll make him fall!!!"
Man, I laughed so loud at that.

Also, when they're in the hotel room and that guy (can't remember his name) is loving the chairs, and then he gets "dark vibes" from one of them!

Another of my favorites is Dogma


This scene cracks me up.
