    Default Best Comedy Tournament: Nominations and Discussion

    Here it is, folks, our long-awaited third genre tournament. The horror and sci-fi tournaments were really fun, so it was decided to keep it going, and here we are.

    This thread is for nominating the entries that will comprise our tournament and discussing them. The process is simple and has evolved a little over the last few tournaments we've held. A person can nominate as many titles as they want, as long as there have been five other nominations in between. Each nomination has to be seconded by someone else in order to make it onto the overall list, and anyone can second anything anytime.

    Once 200 titles have been seconded, nominating and seconding is done and the tournament will begin. Here's the structure:
    • Round 1: 20 groups of 10 titles - top 6 move on
    • Round 2: 15 groups of 8 titles - top 4 move on
    • Round 3: 12 groups of 5 titles - top 2 move on
    • Octofinals: 8 groups of 3 titles - top 1 moves on
    • Quarterfinals: 4 groups of 2 titles - top 1 moves on
    • Semifinals: 2 groups of 2 titles - top 1 moves on
    • Finals: 1 group of 2 titles - top 1 is the winner

    And here we go!

    You can only nominate one film at a time.

    You will need to wait until another 5 films have been nominated until you can nominate another.

    I will second your nomination for Monty Python and the Holy Grail, though...
