I think so. Well, definitely one of the greatest of recent memory. Too bad the rest of the movie wasn't this funny.

Probably something from the jerk.

Owen Wilson is so fucking hillarious. I just have to look at his face and I'm laughing.

the scene from royal tenenbaums when he's snorting coke in the indian make-up also kills me.
and this line:
"well, everyone knows custed died at little bighorn. what this book presupposes is... maybe he didn't."

"Oh yeah? I've never even heard of it. Me and my friends have been too busy bathing off the coast with spider monkey's tripping on acid. Changed our whole perspective on shit."

They need to put Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn together again. They're hilarious together.

Royal Tenenbaums is what really made me appreciate him. He's awesome.

Stop listing frat pack movies.

Most of them are soulless shit aimed at teenagers. List some CLASSICS. Not shitty teen movie nonsense.

What's funny has got to be the most subjective thing ever, though. So its always hard to talk about comedies. All I know is, that as a Bond fan, the funniest movie I've seen in the past decade was Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery in '97. Now, the subsequent sequels were absolutely unnecessary and totally awful, and the huge pop culture craze pushed the series into over-exposed territory, but that original film, damn, that was some damn great spoofing right there. Too bad they had to go and make 2 sequels.

The Jerk is one of the greatest comedies of all time.

beelzebozo · « **Reply #20 on:** February 11, 2007, 11:58:56 AM »

all of those are good flicks, cheebs, but none of them makes me have the reaction of royal tenenbaums, or even zoolander. to say either of these are "soulless" when they evoke such a strong, soulful reaction as gut-wrenching laughter is--well--a bit elitist

Mupepe · « **Reply #21 on:** February 11, 2007, 11:59:39 AM »

I love The Jerk

I watched it the other night with a bunch of people that had never seen it. I showed them the light

"...except this"

I didn't mean tenebaums. But Zoolander, Wedding Crashers, etc are soulles shit. They aren't quality films.

Note I OWN Zoolander.

you like it because it is a bond parody!

Mupepe · « **Reply #26 on:** February 11, 2007, 12:12:20 PM »

Nostalgia has never even urged me to watch the Austin Powers movies again. I loved them when they first came out though.

Cheebs · « **Reply #27 on:** February 11, 2007, 12:17:49 PM »

I liked the first 2, but not so much the third.

No, I liked it and still do because its damned funny. Hell, they are really parodying Bond so much as they are parodying ONE Bond film (YOLT) and a bunch of other 60's and 70's spy genre cliches.

G The Resurrected · « **Reply #29 on:** February 11, 2007, 12:25:54 PM »

I saw wedding crashers with my neighbors it was strange. Cause that scene was a weird one to them. Whereas I was laughing my ass off.

I'm gonna watch blues brothers, that movie really was funny. The jerk is another good one that I've never gotten to see from begining to end.

And Zoolander is kind of funny, dont know what it is but I laugh at the movie.

Well the character of Austin Powers is Roger Moore's version of Bond but to the extreme.

I think the second was good as well. I don't remember liking anything in part 3 outside the intro with Tom Cruise.

Danny Devito. You didn't like Danny Devito as Little Me?

I liked the entire intro! I just used tom cruise to describe the scene.

Exactly what I am saying. Cheebs is trying to discredit it though because Im a Bond fan. I could hate Bond and Id still love AP1. The other 2 are shit though. Re-hashed jokes and stunt casting sucks.

Cheebs · « **Reply #38 on:** February 11, 2007, 12:41:56 PM »

Solo's love of AP is just a substitute that he uses to hide his true love of Roger Moore's James Bond.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #39 on:** February 11, 2007, 12:43:17 PM »

I agree. The first one had a heathy dose of charm that vanished with each sequel. It's good flick.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #40 on:** February 11, 2007, 12:44:47 PM »

ugh, Mupepe, Wedding Crashers? $:-\$ It's no Harold and Kumar, Evilbore's Greatest Movie of all Time and Definitely Better Than Star Wars (tm).

my favorite comedy is probably Todd Solondze's Happiness.

Mupepe · « **Reply #41 on:** February 11, 2007, 12:48:23 PM »

Happiness

Good stuff buddy. I still need to buy it. Harold and Kumar is definitely better that Crashers. I even said the rest of the movie wasn't as good. But I love that scene.
