Picking Mrs. Doubtfire, Four Lions, Life of Brian, and two of the funniest movies ever made: It Happened One Night and the incomparable Duck Soup.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

If The Jerk does not advance, I will be very dissappointed. It is definitely one of my absolute favorites.

[skyofcrack]

Life of Brian should be in the finals. Only 6 votes!

[Still Servant]

I know there's a lot of clout here, but you guys have got to give Four Lions a chance. I know it doesn't sound funny, but it's wickedly so.

[pathoftheturtle]

If Duck Soup, The Jerk, Life of Brian were out front with all most votes and Trading Places, Happy Gilmore, Mrs. Doubtfire competing to catch up, instead of the other way round, then this thing might make sense.

[Ben Staad]

Agreed and you mean I'm gonna stay this color? (at 2:13)

Four Lions is hysterical.

I'm not sure why Happy Gilmore is in the lead. It's not even the best Adam Sandler movie, not to mention the best of these ten.

[Ben Staad]

It must be the riveting performance by Bob Barker that is propelling Happy.

[fernandito]

I voted for Happy Gilmore only because of how hilarious Shooter McGavin is; one of the greatest comedy villains ever lol.

Really? I'd put it as a top 3 Sandler film and probably top 3 in this list as well.

[divemaster]

The only Sandler film better than Happy Gilmore is The Wedding Singer. I'm not not sure that even made the list for votes.

Happy Gilmore is a very funny movie!

[pathoftheturtle]

You can tell them apart?

[divemaster]

They're nothing alike.

[Ricky]

I voted for Happy Gilmore only because of how hilarious Shooter McGavin is; one of the greatest comedy villains ever lol.

:lol:

I'm thinking about the dream sequence we're Shooter comes in and starts making out with Happy's mom. :rofl:

He's so despicable I fucking love it lol.

He even drinks his wine like a sadistic sob :lol:

[pathoftheturtle]

If Sandler movies were literally nothing alike, it wouldn't be a category. I mean, I don't consider every movie he's been in to be part of his typical brand. That was just supposed to be a wisecrack, but I see now it wasn't funny. I was just kidding, anyway. The Wedding Singer is sweet and didn't go lowbrow so much. Even altogether, his comedies are at least still a good deal better than those Rob Schneider movies.

But from a category of movie that's truly hysterical, the best Marx Bros. film is dying in this thread. Pitiful!

[mae]

I would've voted for it had The Wedding Singer been nominated. But yes, Team America (terrible movie) over Duck Soup? You gotta be kidding.

[pathoftheturtle]

Team America (terrible movie) over Duck Soup? You gotta be kidding.
Terrible puppet movie, no less.

[mae]

Need more Duck Soup :panic: And looks like Four Lions is not moving on which is a shame. So funny.

Also, It Happened One Night not moving on is a crime :cry:

This clip is comedic genius of epic proportions.

[Theli]

Team America was pretty funny, stupid, sure, but still funny. Still didn't get a vote from me though, because Life of Brian stands head and shoulders above the rest.

As if an Adam Sandler flick is winning this poll. He is so irritating and painfully unfunny.

I liked it better when Bugs Bunny did it.

I liked it better when Bugs Bunny did it."Hare Tonic" (1945)

[fernandito]

Team America is hilarious. It made me consistently lol the way few films do. KJU's "I'm So Rowrnry" , Now You're A Man, the exaggerated defecation scene hahaha. It's raunchy as fuck, I love it.

[mae]

Duck Soup is even more behind now, this is utterly mind blowing.

[mae]

Need three more votes for Duck Soup!

[DoctorDodge]

Four Lions is hysterical.

Knew it wouldn't get far at all, though. A shame, but understandable.

[mae]

Team America tied for second in this group is utterly incomprehensible.

[RUBE]

Team America tied for second in this group is utterly incomprehensible.

Agreed.

Need three more votes for Duck Soup!

I prefer Onion Soup.
