OT: Funniest movie and/or TV show ever

Funniest is an interpretation that is as varied as best tasting. That while some like steak and others like seafood.
There are so many shows listed in this thread and all are good, personally The Carol Burnett show never disappointed. Red Skelton The Jackie Gleason show were great with comedy and music. The Honeymooners are all time classic.
Hee Haw had it's place for me as they had music to go with the comedy. Buck Owens was good but Roy Clark is an all time great guitar player. That brings me to The Smothers Brothers I haven't seen mentioned. They had a good act and variety show with many good guests. With the penchant here for music in the off basketball times I think many would enjoy Jim Stafford. While this was back in the day he still performs at the theater he owns in Missouri.

Scud, I forgot about Dr. Strangelove. Has any actor ever played multiple roles in a movie like Peter Sellers? I think that just about anyone of the supporting actors in that movie could have received an oscar. One of the classic scenes in the history of motion pictures is Slim Pickens going out of the chute on the bomb.

I was privileged to attend one of the special previews. In order to make movie Sellers had to agree to play several parts. Pickens (who I met a year or two later and gave directions to) and George C Scott were excellent.

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
Expand ...

I was wondering when someone was going to mention Porky's. The Ballbricker scene with Tommy in the girls shower had me in tears. The principal office scene was hilarious. Also don't forget the boys locker room and the socks with Kim Cattrall. The second Porky's was crap but they had a very good rebound with Porky's III.

Little known late night movie that was funny is HOTS. Had a lot of funny scenes in that movie with a cameo appearance by Danny Bonaduce (Patridge Family).

I'm not sure it was mentioned but I like both Revenge of the Nerds movies. Also have to mention my boy Eddie Murphy and Coming To America.

The office scene in Porkys with Ike smiling down is one of the funniest scenes ever.
I had to go rewatch it, still makes me laugh to tears after all these years.
 
Office Space is a hidden gem, especially for those of us who worked in an office. It really hits close to home.

 
Miss Congeniality

One good scene after another.
 
The Producers (1968)

The Beverly Hillbillies for tv

Also, I always lol in Bewitched when the nosy neighbor - Mrs. Kravitz - would go over to the Stevens' residence, poke her head in the window, and see something unbelievable. She'd then stagger back to her home to claim it to her husband: "Abner, I saw a waterfall in their living room." He'd then look at the camera and tell her he was locking up the booze.

Also loved Sanford and Son. Fred and Aunt Esther may have been the funniest fighting ever.

I went through the first 4 pages again and two movies I noticed were omitted, Police Academy (the horse scene was hilarious) and Back to School (sort of funny but some classics lines). episode.

For TV shows, I know they are suppose to be funny, but what about cartoons?

The Flintstones had some hilarious episodes. Especially the Romeorock and Juliettestone episode.
 
For me:

Princess Bride
The Big Lebowski

For The Better Half (I love her choices too):

My Cousin Vinny
Elf
Romy & Michele's High School Reunion
Napoleon Dynamite

TV -
Trailer Park Boys - BUBBLES!

The scene with them teaching Bubba Smith how to drive -- they bring him to a Civic and he rips the front seat out.

Bugs Bunny is the best thing ever on TV.

No question 'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World' is the one. Just thinking about the scenes puts me into a state of laughter. The cast is a lineup of the best of the best, each playing in their own scenario racing to the 'Big W'. It never stops, if you have never seen it, do it now.
 
Went through the five pages and noticed that 'Curb your Enthusiasm" was not mentioned. Larry David strikes again. The stuff he gets into is hysterical, and again the supporting cast just adds to the mayhem.

And I have read that the vast majority of the show's dialog is ad libbed/improvised.
 
One Crazy Summer with Bobcat Goldthwait and Demi Moore was pretty funny. Especially the ending.

Bringing Up Baby.

Bama, I don't know if you are old enough to remember but one of the most popular "funnies" in the forties and fifties was a strip names "Maggie and Jiggs". That supposedly was the cartoon that Bringing Up Baby was based on.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Duck Soup

I always had trouble between choosing between the Killer Rabbitt and The Black Knight as the funniest scene in that movie. Then I remember the scene at castle attack.

'Guarding Tess,' with Nicolas Cage and Shirley MacLaine.

Hope, I think that was one of those movies that are truly unappreciated. Shirley MacLaine deserved at least a nomination for her role and the casting was outstanding. I'm not normally a huge Nicholas Cage fan but he was actually very good in his role.

Ah, memories of bar-b-que sandwichs and the skytop cone. They also had a copycat of Islays called "Bards" around for awhile. Almost identical setting with the white bricks and menu. My wife, on special occasions, buys me a case of Islay's sauce once or twice a year. We lived across the hall from a gentleman who was the manager of the Islays in New Kensington and he gave my grandmother the recipe for the sauce. It's actually vey close to the real thing.
