Have you seen Airplane! Or The Naked Gun series? Those have some hilarious moments…
“Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffin’ glue!”
The same guys also made Top Secret!, which I adore just about as much as those.
I almost mentioned it too! I found it later in life than the others
They said “uncommon”
I’ve seen Airplane recently and really liked it. I loved The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear was pretty good. Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult is in my VERY long list of movies to watch. (300 and counting.)
And don’t forget “police squad” tv show.
If you’ve seen airplane! I would recommend popstar: never stop never stopping. I think that movie has as many jokes shoved in it as Airplane!
I don’t think that movie was a hit at the time of its release, but it still holds up.
The Life of Brian - no idea if it is “uncommon” but I haven’t seen it being mentioned anywhere in ages. It has a weird and macabre but enjoyable mix of super dry English humor, whacky sillyness and actual satire, while still managing to tell a coherent story.
Why not go trough the complete Monty’s enzyklo Pythonia?
Mony Puthon and teh Holy Grain is epic. Saw it at elementary school ages ago (early 80s) and was looking for iit for ages. (Not speaking English yet, Imtotally forgot the title) Still need to watch Jabberwocky.
When done, Black Adder’s Christmas Carol is a belter as well. (The serie is nice as well, as id Red Dwarf)
I’s add Idiocracy and Don’t look up as well, but alas, both are documentaries by now. :(
For car fanatics, the Taxi series is nice as well.
The Hudsucker Proxy.
You know, for the kids.
Better Off Dead.
Tucker and Dale Vs Evil is one of my favorites, might not be quite uncommon but people tend not to know it when I bring it up.
Four Lions
I would say black dynamite or tucker and Dale vs evil
Kung Pao: Enter The Fist
Office Space, not exactly uncommon but not talked about that much these days and still relevant.
More relevant than ever?
Kind of like Idiocracy.
Black dynamite is amazingly funny. A satirical 70s action/crime movie
Btw its written by michael jai white. And he is making a new movie… “outlaw johnny black” where he plays a cowboy/gunslinger. I am looking forward to it
Hamlet 2. There are some problematic things in it, that haven’t aged so great, but it is otherwise amazingly funny.
Balls Out: Gary The Tennis Coach (best film with Seann William Scott as lead imo)
Dirty Work
Palm Springs on Hulu (flew under the radar for most people I know)
Vice Principals (TV show)
Almost Heros
Came to say Dirty Work. It might be the only movie with Norm MacDonald as the lead. My friends and I still quote that one from time to time.
Absolutely love it! And so quotable!
I emulated it after seeing it as a kid in a revenge-prank business at school (worst thing I did was put fire ants in a kid’s desk to get back for bullying).
Years back, as soon as the CEO business came out in GTA online, I immediately claimed “Dirty Work Inc.” as my business name!
Definitely one of my favorite movies.
That movie always reminds me of the time MY NOSE WAS BIT OFF BY A SAIGON WHORE!!!
I’m usually not drawn to comedies, but Palm Springs is what came to mind for me. I learned what it means for a screenplay to be “tight” - efficient, cohesive. Every line fits the tone of the movie and moves the plot forward. Plus it’s technically such a beautiful movie. The lighting is warm, the soundtrack is fun, and the chemistry between all the actors is perfect.
Third for Palm Springs. I thought it was gonna be a mindless watch when I threw it on, so maybe low expectations helped.
Kingpin
Is Brain Candy uncommon?
Considering it wasn’t available on blue ray or streaming for about 20 years, yeah I’d say Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy is off the beaten path. It’s also really good.
Probably the movie I quote the most that gets zero recognition.
Look, are we ever going to get the big table in here or do I have to go out and cut down that fucking tree myself?
You just don’t get it here. Hoohoooo.
You’re not a plate of croissants
A Dog’s Breakfast
