OT: Funniest movie and/or TV show ever

Shockingly funny -- a Canadian show called Testees.. I think you can see some of them on YouTube.. Maybe Prime (I will Check it out later) not the webisodes

(Two guys in their early 30s are human guinea pigs for a testing facility known as Testico. As they try to live their lives as normally as possible, they have to deal with the potential side effects of a new product, experimental medication, or treatment.)

Original Get Smart.
(Actually, I rewatched it recently and it wasn't quite as good as I remembered)

F Troop.

I saw it recently too, and 99 was still captivating, pun intended.

Worldwide? Monty Python. US : From a different era altogether, the ensemble comedy of The Carol Burnett Show. They could do a skit that was 10 plus minutes long and really set up the giggles and guffaws. Here's one example:

Monty Python's Flying Circus and Carol Burnett were actually on at the same time.

My favorite moment from Carol Burnett and one of the funniest ever on TV:

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way to The Forum and The Producers and Spaceballs were all great. Princess Vespa was the bomb!
 
The funniest skit I've ever witnessed was Tim Conway's Elephant story on the Carol Burnett show. One of the greatest lines of all time - "I don't know if there's any truth to it, but they were buried side by side." The Black Knight and the Rabbit battle in the Holy Grail were genius but for innovation in comedy from the beginning to end Airplane and Blazing Saddles are neck and neck.

I don't think that people realized the genius of Tim Conway or just how great the supporting case of the Carol Burnett show was. Every week was pure entertainment and they didn't have to resort to low or insulting comedy. The Airplane skit with Conway, Harvy Korman and Carol is as funny today as it was on the night it was premiered.

Any movie with Keanau Reeves is hilarious. I keep looking for a scene where his face actually changes it's expression but no luck so far.

Without a doubt most point to The Dentist as the summit for those 2 wild and crazy guys. Tim Conway would do this things out of nowhere and Harvey had to try to hold it together and it was great to watch.

Movie; Gotta be Airplane. The original made for TV version of No Time for Sergeants (maybe Hallmark; was a 90 minute show, if I recall) was hilarious. All the humor of Hyman's book without the bombast of the theater movie Sgt. King was a treasure. For TV, for me, the Carol Burnett show. I still can't watch some of the Tim Conway skits without cracking up. This may be the funniest of all. Carol Burnett Show - Tim Conway's Elephant Story

My favorite skit of all from Monty Python's Flying Circus is the police station where every person can only hear one way of speaking. Fast, slow, high, low, song. . . But I can't find it on youtube. A close second, and if you've never seen it (I know people who haven't), you must watch:

I always loved that movie. I watched it recently. There was basically a remake of that called Rat Race. Without a doubt, in my mind, the funniest movie ever. My favorite scene:



I remember being in the army watching Porky's with a bunch of paratroopers. Not sure if we were delirious but I have never laughed so hard as I did the first time I saw it. We were literally falling on the floor. So many funny scenes we went home with stomach aches.

Porky's: Principal's office

Other good choices, but I don't consider them hold you sides funny:
Something about Mary
Princess Bride
What's Up Doc
Arthur (the original)
Airplane
Caddyshack
Monty Python
Smokey and the Bandit
Blues Brothers
Cannonball Run

Television has so many - how could you even chose?:
I love Lucy (the standard bearer)
How I Met Your Mother (You know, Barney, for anyone else, this would be a new low but sadly for you, it's just a new middle)
Seinfeld
Married With Children
South Park (if you get the right episode)
Always Sunny in Philly
Big Bang Theory
2 1/2 Men
The Office
Friends
Reno 911
Brooklyn 99
Will and Grace
30 Rock
Kind of Queens
Up Schitt's Creek
Becker
Spin City
F Troop
Gilligan
Cheers
Frasier
Taxi
WKRP
That 70's Show
The Cosby's
Home Improvement
Everyone Loves Ray
Either Bob Newhart
The Mentalist (definitely not a comedy but Patrick Jane makes you laugh)

and these are just off the top of my head..........

"Everybody Loves Raymond" is wildly funny. Incredible cast. Of all my fave comedies during my life this show probably generates the most LOLs/minute.

Marie: "I will not be a trophy wife!"

Frank: "Trophy wife?!? What contest in hell did I win?"

Oh, geez, if we can start on one-liners, my favorite is from Married with Children. In one early season, Al is in the shoe store, serving a woman who insists she wears a size smaller than she can fit into.

Al: You're never going to get that foot into that shoe!

Woman: How can you say that to my face?

Al: I'd say it behind your back, but my car's only got half a tank of gas!
