Recommend a good comedy?

Zascar

I need a recommendation of a good comedy. Something recent I can get on DVD. I'm entertaining a young lady and want something light hearted and funny...

Any suggestions?

seanybiker

In Bruges is really funny.
I know its been out a few years now but Talladega nights is hilarious.

Zascar

Yeah its good I've seen it, looking for something i have not seen. Suggested already my mates that I have seen include, Knocked up, Don't mess with the Zohan, 40 Year Old Virgin, Juno, Get Smart, Meet the Spartans.......... Dam I've seen most of them. Is there any other good comedy's of late which i might not have seen?

Thanks

Auvers

how about Withnail & I

I know its not exactly recent but you couldn't ask for a better comedy

Dr. Dodger

Superbad? You've probably seen that one actually cos it's too f*ckin funny!

What about a Black Comedy or something. The Big Lebouski for example?

Zascar

Brilliant, seen it... somehting along those lines

Dr. Dodger

Step Brothers isn't out yet is it?

D.S.

What about Pineapple Express - is that out on DVD yet? Absolutely hilarious...

Zascar

Dam I've seen all of these!
Any more?

Dr. Dodger

Let's try a different approach then, what about This is Spinal Tap! If not, what about the same guys in Best in Show! Hilarious

Elf

carlowguy32

Dr. Dodger

^^ No I'm not being sarcastic (yeah I know it's pretty much univerally despised). I know it's an oldie but I saw it just this week. Prob the most I've laughed at a comedy in a while.

oh right

Kingpin is brilliant...as is Blades of Glory. Maybe get a copy of the Office or Extras and watch a few episodes ?

...or going back a few years Stir crazy or Trading Places.

Its hard to know your taste, and generaly most comedies have something that gets at least a giggle or two.

but dont get Knocked Up. Dont even think about it.

Like a father warning his unsuspecting daughter before she heads over to a boys house to watch a film that he has been planning all day to get the mood just right and then POW! She's Preggers!

I'm a fan of Judd Apatow thanks to the brilliant Freaks and Geeks and his breakthru movie The 40 Year Old Virgin but lets face it everything else he does is patchy at best. Pineapple Express was the final straw for me. It's one of the worst comedies I've seen in a while. Didn't laugh once from start to finish.

Actually get your hands on Flight of the Conchords - Series 1. What episode is Business Time on? Episode 5 I think. You can serenade her while you watch it.

Otis Driftwood

Clerks 1+2
Dogma - watched this at least 15 times and I still laugh out loud when I see it.
Maybe try Baseketball either.

Boo-yah

I really liked Pineapple Express but I wouldnt credit/criticize Judd Apatow for it. The guy only has a story credit on the film, he didnt write it. I know he produces loads of films but he's only directed 2! He seems to get the blame/credit for every film he produces but I'd be more inclined to blame the writers/directors.

Note: I am a huge fan of the stuff he has written/directed

Play it again Sam

Grosse Pointe Blank
Groundhog Day

Or hell just get Arrested Development season 1

Eagle vs Shark is one recent comedy which is a bit under appreciated. Seemed to divide people on release, but its a geeky, Napoleon Dynamite-esque comedy that is good for many laughs. Not for everyone, but if you like that kind of comedy is worth tracking down. Also features the Flight of the Conchords crew, which is always good.

The King of Kong is also worth watching. May be a documentary about Donkey King, but it is also one of the funniest and entertaining things you'll ever see. Mainly because of the comedy gold that is Billy Mitchell.

Its not important what YOU saw, its important what SHE saw, you need to find that out or else.......

why not go for something like Wall E? Guaranteed love in.
