Favourite Comedy

Young Frankenstein or Some Like it Hot - both brilliant

If i had to pick a favourite comedy.... i'd have to go with 'Kingpin', for sheer re-watchable value.

If you haven't seen the film, go out and rent it NOW!!!

Can practically recite the whole film line-for-line now.

EDIT: Some great quotes for ye all:

Neighbor: Hey Roy, can you get sick from drinking piss?
Roy: I think you can.
Neighbor: Even if its your own?

ESPN Announcer: So Roy, where have you been for the last fifteen years?
Roy: Well, I uh, well, ya see, I uh... Drinking. Lot a drinking.
ESPN Announcer: I see. Well, are you still drinking?
Roy: No. I uh... I put... uh... Why, you buying?

Mr. Boorg: How many children do you have?
Roy: None that I know of. I mean, I'm unable to have children. Nasty cheese grating accident as a boy.

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.

Roy: Just because you're familiar with the missionary position doesn't make you a missionary.
Claudia: Look, Mr. Munster, you're not exactly the smartest guy I ever ran across.
Roy: Oh yeah? And who are you, Alfred Einstein?

Landlady: What is it about good sex that makes me have to crap? You really jarred something loose tiger.

[On smoking]
Ishmael: You should try to quit. They say its bad for your heart, your lungs. It quickens the aging process.
Roy: Who's done more research than the good people at the American Tobacco Industry? They say its harmless. Why would they lie? If you're dead, you can't smoke.

Roy: I know what you're thinking, but let me explain...
[Claudia kicks Roy in the crotch]
Roy: [very softly] Mommy. You must have a really wide foot because you got both of them

[refering to Roy's hook for a hand]
Claudia: It must be hard to spank your monkey.
Ishmael: You have a monkey?

Roy: Thomas can raise a barn, but can he pick up a 7-10 split?
Ishmael: God blessed my brother to be a good carpenter. It's okay.
Roy: Yeah, well he blessed you, too, and I'll give you a hint what it is. It's round, has three holes, and you put your fingers into it.
Ishmael: You leave Rebecca out of this.

[Roy Munson is getting ready for his turn to bowl]
Ernie McCracken: It all comes down to this roll. Roy Munson, a man-child, with a dream to topple bowling giant Ernie McCracken. If he strikes, he's the 1979 Odor-Eaters Champion. He's got one foot in the frying pan and one in the pressure cooker. Believe me, as a bowler, I know that right about now, your bladder feels like an overstuffed vacuum cleaner bag and your butt is kinda like an about-to-explode bratwurst.
Roy: Hey. Do you mind? I wasn't talking when you were bowling.
Ernie McCracken: Was I talking out loud? Was I? Sorry. Good luck.

McKnight Bowl Bartender: So, you two are dictionary salesmen?
Roy: You would be punctilious in assuming that."

Ishmael: Run for the hills everybody, there's a giant s*it-cloud coming.

Roy: [quietly] Shh, be quiet.
[he trips and falls]
Roy: Oww, I think I tore my sack.
Ishmael: [loudly] Are you OK Mr. Munson?
Roy: Shh, what did I just say?
Ishmael: Uh, I think I tore my sack.

Claudia: He said handSOME, not handLESS.

Ishmael: Hi Mr. Skidmark.

Little boy: Sometimes when I wake up in the morning Mr. McCracken's already there.

Waynes world 2
Not just my favourite comedy, but my favourite movie.
Waynes world 1 close behind. But 2's slightly better.

If I only had to pick one it'd have to be Annie Hall


"Duane: Can I confess something? I tell you this as an artist,I think you'll understand. Sometimes when I'm driving... on the road at night... I see two headlights coming toward me. Fast. I have this sudden impulse to turn the wheel quickly, head-on into the oncoming car. I can anticipate the explosion. The sound of shattering glass. The... flames rising out of the flowing gasoline.
Alvy Singer: Right. Well, I have to - I have to go now, Duane, because I, I'm due back on the planet Earth. "



[Alvy addresses a pair of strangers on the street]
Alvy Singer: Here, you look like a very happy couple, um, are you?
Female street stranger: Yeah.
Alvy Singer: Yeah? So, so, how do you account for it?
Female street stranger: Uh, I'm very shallow and empty and I have no ideas and nothing interesting to say.
Male street stranger: And I'm exactly the same way.
Alvy Singer: I see. Wow. That's very interesting. So you've managed to work out something?

If you see the dvd of this there is almost another film worth of cut scenes that are classic aswell.

Stiller is also very good in Mystery Men as Mr. Furious;

Mr. Furious:Do yourself a favor and don't punch my clock cos I'm a Pantera's box you do not wanna open!
Casanova Frankenstein: It is "Pandora."
Mr. Furious: Please... don't correct me, it sickens me.

Mr. Furious: I don't need a compass to know which way the wind shines!

Mr. Furious: I guess tonight the lone wolf hunts alone
