Funniest Film you ever saw?
 
So what is it then? Im on the look out for some rip roarers to make me giggle and wondered what is the funniest film you ever saw.

For me - its The Big Lebowski, had myself and 2 mates in tears and its the only time i've ever stopped a film temporarily as i couldnt watch it for laughing so much. (It was the bit when the marmot came in that did it).

Second was Ace Ventura Pet Detective way back when Jim Carey was unknown (Pre-Mask i think it was) and his antics were still fresh.

Edited to add - Mystery Men wasnt too bad either - Hence the username!

I guess the film that made me laugh most was 'up in smoke' (Cheech and Chong). You've got the be 'in the mood' to appreciate it though ;)

Also Dogma was funny from start to finish.

South Park made me laugh - but then I was only really a kid when that was out.

Any others? Well, both Bridget Jones ones were funny, any Monty Python, Ali G... endless really.

Kingpin

Roy: Hey, I hope you don't mind, I got up a little early, so I took the liberty of milking your cow for you. Yeah, it took a little while to get her warmed up, she sure is a stubborn one, whew.
[Takes a drink from the bucket]
Mr. Boorg: We don't have a cow. We have a bull.
Roy: I'm gonna brush my teeth.

or

Napoleon Dynamite

Don: Hey, Napoleon. What did you do last summer again?
Napoleon Dynamite: I told you! I spent it with my uncle in Alaska hunting wolverines!
Don: Did you shoot any?
Napoleon Dynamite: Yes, like 50 of 'em! They kept trying to attack my cousins, what the heck would you do in a situation like that?
Don: What kind of gun did you use?
Napoleon Dynamite: A freakin' 12-gauge, what do you think?

Pretty much anything with Leslie Nielsen in... I can't look at the guy without laughing! The Naked Gun was a great trilogy, and if you can get hold of the original Police Squad episodes they are a real treat.

More recently I thought The Wedding Crashers was also very funny.

Agreed - Police Squad was a riot - i still laugh when he hits the bins and have the theme tune as my ring tone.

You mean when he was "driving back" to the station... in reverse!!

I also still laugh at the one where he went undercover as a locksmith, and was confronted when he broke into an office...

"Who are you, and how did you get in here?"
"I'm a locksmith... and I'm a locksmith..."

Love it! Even now I can picture the time he drank a urine sample in the lab... and in the film, when a body was found in the water and the white tape outline was just floating there...

I probably laughed at most of the comic films suggested thus far including the Police Acadamy ones and the Carry On's as well.:)

However mostly the times when I've ended up on the floor really peeing myself laughing have been when reading books such as Indecent Exposure or Wilt by Tom Sharpe.Or the Spellsinger books by Alan Dean Foster as well as a few Terry Pratchetts and The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy plus The Stainless Steel Rat series by Harry Harrison(and Bill the Galactic Hero).I think the pictures I see in my mind are much funnier than the ones I see on screen.:D
