Funny Movie Time

Haven't seen a funny movie in a while?  Having to be at work early on a Saturday morning, I had this lovely Friday evening to watch one of my favorite funny movies (Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle).  I felt after watching this movie a need to list my funniest movies of all time.  Some of these movies are funny, some of these movies are hysterical, some of these movies must be watched after a drink or two...

My Top Eight Funniest Movies (and a favorite quote from each):

1.  Office Space -- 'It's not that I'm lazy; it's just that I don't care.'

Office Space: The Motion Picture Soundtrack 

2.  Caddyshack -- 'I hear this place is restricted Wang...so don't tell 'em your Jewish.'

 'This place got a pool?' - Carl.  'It's got a pool and a pond.  Pond would be good for you.' - Ty.

3.  National Lampoon's Vacation -- 'Ma...can you tell Audrey to stop pushing Aunt Edna on me?' 

4.  Wedding Crashers -- 'Janice, I apologize to you if I don't seem real eager to jump into a forced awkward intimate situation that people like to call dating. I don't like the feeling. You're sitting there, you're wondering do I have food on my face, am I eating, am I talking too much, are they talking enough, am I interested I'm not really interested, should I play like I'm interested but I'm not that interested but I think she might be interested but do I want to be interested but now she's not interested? So all of the sudden I'm getting, I'm starting to get interested... And when am I supposed to kiss her? Do I have to wait for the door cause then it's awkward, it's like well goodnight. Do you do like that ass-out hug? Where you like, you hug each other like this and your ass sticks out cause you're trying not to get too close or do you just go right in and kiss them on the lips or don't kiss them at all? It's very difficult trying to read the situation. And all the while you're just really wondering are we gonna get hopped up enough to make some bad decisions? Perhaps play a little game called "just the tip". Just for a second, just to see how it feels. Or, ouch, ouch you're on my hair.'

5.  Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle -- 'Thank you, come again!'

Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (Unrated Extended Edition)

6.  Old School -- 'I have a wife and kids. Do I seem like a happy guy to you, Frank?'

7.  Anchorman -- 'Well, I could be wrong, but I believe, uh, diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.'

8.  Super Troopers -- 'I don't want a Large Farva.'  'You mean Shenanigans?'

The list could go on and on.  There could be a top eight list with Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn movies alone.  Some of my other favorite funny movies are:  Clerks, Mallrats, National Lampoon's European Vacation & Christmas Vacation, Friday, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, 40 Year Old Virgin and Napoleon Dynamite, Tommy Boy, Billy Madison, Road Trip, Dumb and Dumber and American Pie.
