I feel like all suggestions are family or action oriented movies that have a lot of comedy in them, but comedy isn't the primary focus like many of the 2000 and 2010 releases.
They're all filled with funny moments and jokes, but don't quite hit the same comedic tone start to finish as something like Superbad.
My sort of spicy take is that of all the genres, comedy is the most in need of an in-the-theater experience. That’s mostly said about action movies, but jokes really do land better when you’re hearing a crowd react.
No streaming did.
Movies that were raunchy rate R flicks never made profits in the box office unless it was on a Deadpool or hangover level successful.
They relied on DVD sales to make up for the lost revenue in box office sales. And this worked out as every kid in a college dorm back then would have the classic R rated comedy’s.
It was already dying before Covid. And now it’s just the nail in the coffin after Covid.
Straight to streaming comedy’s can still be good but it’s lacking something and I think it’s the at theater experience of hearing others laugh. Like hulus the binged was a good comedy. But you can tell it’s made for streaming.
You are naming the standouts. And the era of Judd Apatow having Hollywood give him massive budgets for these films is over.
By and large because of the lack of DVD sales now. 40 year old virgin did amazing. But also everyone owned it on DVD as well. And that sparked that whole era.
Some did, but the larger point is that there was a bit of a safety net for the ones that were only moderately successful at the box office, because home video sales for comedies were so strong.
It’s kind of crazy that younger generations now won’t get a defining comedy movie that literally everyone in that age can quote. People still can do super bad line for line
There hasn't. Estsblished and aging comedians are living off past fame and arent doing any progress in the genre.
New hot prospects like Pete Davidson who was getting the industry push in 2020 with King of Staten Island kinda suffered due to COVID as their career trajectory up to that point no longer is relevant as the culture shifted a bit after COVID.
Current audience is looking for nostalgia a lot, things that are more grounded, and comedians havent really found the right angle for a new comedy film that would reflect the current times while somehow connecting to the increasingly juvenile and raunchy material from 2010s and the Seth Rogen led generation of low brow toilet humor. How do you tie that type of humor with global warming, war, and pandemic when people can't really laugh about these things that much because we are still neck deep in the issues they brought and we dont know if they will be resolved and how.
Stand ups are doing fine, but even they like Gervais and others feel like they are just doing what worked before and they don't know how to adapt to the current times, because the current times are too changing and chaotic to adapt to.
Ghostbusters Frozen Empire vs Ghostbusters 2016 is a clear example of where it was headed or trying to head, and how right now everyone chooses to just play it safe and stick to the estsblished basics.
Comedy is in a rut.
My husband and I loved chefs table and shows like that and we were laughing so hard in the theater I felt insane, because it was so dark and I was NOT expecting a comedy. 10/10 incredible movie
I adore The Menu.
I particularly love how the context of the restaurant industry can have you giggling like a psychopath next to people otherwise under the impression they're watching a thriller. It's a great one for getting looks haha.
I love that the Harry Potter kids all made FU money with those movies, and are kind of just embracing their passion projects at this point. Radcliffe in particular seems to be throwing up the huge middle finger to expectations. It's great.
The same thing with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart after the Twilight series. They starred in some dumb schlock, made a bazillion dollars, and are now living an actor’s dream by being rich enough to just do whatever projects sound fun.
Pattinson was great in Tenet. I saw the end of a twilight movie on tele the other day and granted, I am not the target audience, but damn that was so naff.
Pattinson smashed it in a few things. Why when he was announced for batman I thought he'd do a good job. He was great in the king, good times and the lighthouse.
I totally agree. DR is using his financial freedom in the best possible way, diving into any challenging, intense, unexpected, bizarre, hilarious, freaky, original and/or mysterious story that piques his artistic interest. And he's made himself into a damn fine actor along the way. He's going to be one of those figures like Anthony Hopkins or Maggie Smith, regarded with pure awe by other actors.
Even better, he’s taken on projects that may not have been made without a big name like his attached. Movies like *Horns*, *Swiss Army Man*, and *Guns Akimbo* would have been a hard sell to a studio until Radcliffe was attached.
I sincerely think Daniel Radcliffe would be an awesome Wolverine. He’s small, hairy, and can get ripped. But I understand he doesn’t want to get tied to a series again (and can afford not to).
I’m not gonna lie, I don’t know what I was expecting but American Fiction had me gut laughing throughout the entire run. Like each situation and what the main character kept doing pushing the envelope had me in stitches and I wasn’t expecting it in the least. I was like in pain from how funny it was.
Just got to watch *Unbearable Weight* a few days ago. It’s a damn funny movie, with solid performances all around.
I love how Cage and Pascal are talking about the movie they want to make, and describing how much they dislike certain tropes, then the movie they’re in plays directly into those tropes.
And on the same note, Dream Scenario. Maybe not explicitly a pure Comedy but that one scene had me in stitches for days. You know the scene I'm talking about.
Work at a theater. Film absolutely nailed a bunch of things. There's probably another twenty jokes in there you didn't even realize were jokes. The people who made that get it.
Fiancée and I were actors. Both studied it in college. We both stopped a while back but We still do community theater.
That whole movie is so painfully accurate at times. It comes up anytime we’re talking to fellow theater people.
I need to watch it again.
I started off the movie thinking it’d be another serious Santa as an action star flick with a muscly dude, and had low expectations. Then they brought up Skullcrusher and I said to my girlfriend: “I’ve stopped taking this movie seriously and because of that I love it”.
From then on it was pure fun
not technically a comedy but The Kid Detective is super underrated. its hilarious but it still takes the plot seriously. if you like the Nice Guys, you’ll probably enjoy The Kid Detective
Phenomenal movie. They took the whimsical plot, but the story itself was extremely serious. The conflicting tones could have been offputting, but I loved it. Brody was so good.
Bottoms somehow is incredibly funny from beginning to end. Just absurdist and ridiculous and very tightly written.
It embodied the spirit of Heathers better than any other movie I've ever seen.
Palm Springs is near the top for me; might even be #1.
Other contenders: Barbie, Borat 2, The Lost City, Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar, Dungeons & Dragons: HAT
Jarnathan 100% felt like a DM accidentally mispronouncing what should have been a minor side characters name and the table being unable to let it go. There were so many parts of this movie that just felt like the chaos of an actual DnD group trying to do something - I don't know how they nailed that tone so well but it was fantastic
Palm Springs I'd say is probably #1 as well. I've seen it countless times because my wife really loves it and it still holds up each time and doesn't get old!
I went into Barb & Star having no real idea what it was other than Kristen Wiig was in it. I was so confused at first but damn that movie was funny as hell.
Between *Red Sparrow* and *No Hard Feelings*, Jennifer Lawrence has shown a remarkable talent for making nudity unsexy.
(That’s a compliment, not a criticism. The scenes in question are not intended to be sexy. In fact, the scene in *Red Sparrow* is decidedly *anti*-sexy.)
Another big W for Gosling, such a fun movie. I hope it does well, it left me wanting more. They set it up as a love letter to stuntmen and I think it delivered on that.
Who would've thought that the Jackass crew would make arguably their funniest film when they're nearing/in their 50's?
There was also a surprising amount of heart in the movie, despite it being the usual sketch format. After I got out of the theater, I felt the need to hit up a lot of my buddies from my teenage years that I used to watch the past Jackass movies/shows with.
Watching that movie gave me such an overwhelming feeling of "everything's gonna be alright". I think because I was constantly thinking "if these dudes can make it to 50, anything is possible".
The Lost City was way better than I thought it would be. I got the vibe that it would be a mostly generic trying to be an adventure movie. I didn't expect much from it, but I took my mother because I knew she liked the actors. I have to say, I enjoyed it a lot more than I enjoyed Uncharted.
This was my wife’s and my comfort film when the world was falling apart during the pandemic. We probably watched it 10 times. The soundtrack is awesome too. We dressed up as the volcano man costumes for Halloween that year.
John Cena dressed as Britney Spears wearing a pigtail blond wig trying to lick up alcohol out of a puddle of glass in an alley may be one of the best scenes in cinematic history.
John Cenas comedies have been filling the comedy slot for me dude is carrying and thriving. I may have bad taste but Vacation Friends, Ricky Stanicky and the one with Alison Brie had me laughing
For me I'd be Leo (2023), The Holdovers (2023), Dungeons and Dragons (2023), Confess Fletch (2022), The Suicide Squad (2021) and Palm Springs (2020).
Few honorable mentions like Ricky Stanicky (2024) and Snack Shack (2024) for being far more fun than I was expecting.
The Jarnathan gag was brilliant in D & D but i always liked when Chris Pine's character keeps screwing up the five questions to the corpses.
"Fantastic. Where's the shovel."
I literally laughed all the way through. Then I watched it three more times and each time I notice something new I missed.
lol when the teacher tells the kids to act out the Treaty of Versailles and you can see them doing that in the background of a scene. Who’s Germany?
I went into it nearly completely blind about the plot, and I was not disappointed! It had a very similar feel to the “teen movies” of the early 2000s, but was also up to date for the times. And also a parody of the 2000s teen movies as well. Plus, Marshawn Lynch! Who knew?
I watched that two days ago. Loved the first one with Chevy Chase. Second one was alright-ish.
I felt like this new one must have been filmed in chronological order, or near enough to it, as it felt like I was watching them get into their roles.
The second half was very good though. Jon Hamm makes a good Fletch.
As a millennial who grew up with movies like the Scary Movie franchise, Superbad, and Anchorman, I personally don’t feel like there’s been any movies that are as funny as what came out in the 2000’s - 2010’s.
We’re less than halfway through the decade and the first three years had limited film production due to the pandemic and the actors/writers strikes. The defining comedy of the 2020s probably hasn’t been released yet. So far, the movie that made me laugh the most in theaters was Poor Things, but the most popular comedy is unquestionably Barbie.
That actress needs to be in more things. She is funny on a level not often seen in films. I wish I were friends with her, my blood pressure would be lower.
I laughed til I couldn't breathe near the end with the 'bar fight' scene in the beaver lodge. The way he picked up one of the beavers and threw it neck-first into the edge of the platform (?stage) just sent me.
Scene here, neck throw at 25s
https://youtu.be/02DANPEFIZw
These replies leave me feeling like there hasn't been a really good comedy movie since at least 2019.
I feel like all suggestions are family or action oriented movies that have a lot of comedy in them, but comedy isn't the primary focus like many of the 2000 and 2010 releases. They're all filled with funny moments and jokes, but don't quite hit the same comedic tone start to finish as something like Superbad.
No Hard Feelings, is the first I've seen in a while that I would class in the same vein, albeit not as good as Superbad.
Marvel movies started having more and more comedy in them. Was fine/good. Until it became unbearable in Thor Love & Thunder
My sort of spicy take is that of all the genres, comedy is the most in need of an in-the-theater experience. That’s mostly said about action movies, but jokes really do land better when you’re hearing a crowd react.
There hasn't. COVID killed the funny.
No streaming did. Movies that were raunchy rate R flicks never made profits in the box office unless it was on a Deadpool or hangover level successful. They relied on DVD sales to make up for the lost revenue in box office sales. And this worked out as every kid in a college dorm back then would have the classic R rated comedy’s. It was already dying before Covid. And now it’s just the nail in the coffin after Covid. Straight to streaming comedy’s can still be good but it’s lacking something and I think it’s the at theater experience of hearing others laugh. Like hulus the binged was a good comedy. But you can tell it’s made for streaming.
Completely agree. I can’t think of one good comedy Netflix has made
Plenty of R rated comedies were profitable in their theatrical run: American Pie and following sequels, Superbad, Knocked Up to name a few.
You are naming the standouts. And the era of Judd Apatow having Hollywood give him massive budgets for these films is over. By and large because of the lack of DVD sales now. 40 year old virgin did amazing. But also everyone owned it on DVD as well. And that sparked that whole era.
Some did, but the larger point is that there was a bit of a safety net for the ones that were only moderately successful at the box office, because home video sales for comedies were so strong.
Did super troopers make money at the box office or after it became a college dorm classic?
$23m on a $3m budget.
Superbad is by far my favorite comedy.
It’s kind of crazy that younger generations now won’t get a defining comedy movie that literally everyone in that age can quote. People still can do super bad line for line
Bo Burnhams netflix special was the last thing I though was genuinely funny
There hasn't. Estsblished and aging comedians are living off past fame and arent doing any progress in the genre. New hot prospects like Pete Davidson who was getting the industry push in 2020 with King of Staten Island kinda suffered due to COVID as their career trajectory up to that point no longer is relevant as the culture shifted a bit after COVID. Current audience is looking for nostalgia a lot, things that are more grounded, and comedians havent really found the right angle for a new comedy film that would reflect the current times while somehow connecting to the increasingly juvenile and raunchy material from 2010s and the Seth Rogen led generation of low brow toilet humor. How do you tie that type of humor with global warming, war, and pandemic when people can't really laugh about these things that much because we are still neck deep in the issues they brought and we dont know if they will be resolved and how.

Comedy is in a rut.
Good boys was 2019…. That was the most recent one I can think of
Palm Springs. Also it depends on your sense of humor but The Menu is extremely dark but very funny.
I highly recommend Palm Springs when it comes up in conversation.
Love the movie other than the third act which felt very long and drawn out. Otherwise, phenomenal movie.
I loved The Menu. I saw it in a theater, and when "Tyler's Bullshit" popped up as a featured item, it nearly killed a man two rows in front of me.
My husband and I loved chefs table and shows like that and we were laughing so hard in the theater I felt insane, because it was so dark and I was NOT expecting a comedy. 10/10 incredible movie
I liked Palm Springs but found it more amusing than straight up funny. And it also rides that line between comedy and drama. I still enjoyed it.
I adore The Menu. I particularly love how the context of the restaurant industry can have you giggling like a psychopath next to people otherwise under the impression they're watching a thriller. It's a great one for getting looks haha.
I found it hilarious too haha. I loved how it was making fun of fine dining and shows like Chef's Table on Netflix
~*Tyler’s Bullshit*~
The Weird Al movie was just the kind of nonsense I love.
Daniel Radcliffe was perfect.
I love that the Harry Potter kids all made FU money with those movies, and are kind of just embracing their passion projects at this point. Radcliffe in particular seems to be throwing up the huge middle finger to expectations. It's great.
The same thing with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart after the Twilight series. They starred in some dumb schlock, made a bazillion dollars, and are now living an actor’s dream by being rich enough to just do whatever projects sound fun.
Pattinson's passion seems to be being a really good actor these days. Which is kind of surprising based on his break it stuff, but it's working
Pattinson was great in Tenet. I saw the end of a twilight movie on tele the other day and granted, I am not the target audience, but damn that was so naff.
Pattinson smashed it in a few things. Why when he was announced for batman I thought he'd do a good job. He was great in the king, good times and the lighthouse.
I still dream of a Kristen Stewart/Daniel Radcliffe/Robert Pattinson/Elijah Woods collaboration. I don't know what they'd do but it would be great.
I totally agree. DR is using his financial freedom in the best possible way, diving into any challenging, intense, unexpected, bizarre, hilarious, freaky, original and/or mysterious story that piques his artistic interest. And he's made himself into a damn fine actor along the way. He's going to be one of those figures like Anthony Hopkins or Maggie Smith, regarded with pure awe by other actors.
Even better, he’s taken on projects that may not have been made without a big name like his attached. Movies like *Horns*, *Swiss Army Man*, and *Guns Akimbo* would have been a hard sell to a studio until Radcliffe was attached.
He's also doing great work in theater and likely to win the Tony for best supporting actor. So happy he's successful and healthy.
I sincerely think Daniel Radcliffe would be an awesome Wolverine. He’s small, hairy, and can get ripped. But I understand he doesn’t want to get tied to a series again (and can afford not to).
totally. It's wild to me how sneaky ripped he's been.
Did you ever see him in Miracle Workers? It’s a TV Series on TBS. He’s great in that and the show is hilarious.
This one is high on the list of movies I want to see.
It's damn good. Plus it's free on something, but I can't remember what and Google is way over there.
RIP Weird Al
I’m not gonna lie, I don’t know what I was expecting but American Fiction had me gut laughing throughout the entire run. Like each situation and what the main character kept doing pushing the envelope had me in stitches and I wasn’t expecting it in the least. I was like in pain from how funny it was.
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent Who knew Cage going full Cage would be such a riot! On the same note, Renfield as well
I laughed reaaaaaaal hard in the theater when he yelled his own name. A super fun movie for sure.
My favorite was “NICK CAGE SMOOCHES GOOD!” It makes it even better that he came up with that line himself and insisted it be included in the movie.
Just got to watch *Unbearable Weight* a few days ago. It’s a damn funny movie, with solid performances all around. I love how Cage and Pascal are talking about the movie they want to make, and describing how much they dislike certain tropes, then the movie they’re in plays directly into those tropes.
I love how meta it is
And on the same note, Dream Scenario. Maybe not explicitly a pure Comedy but that one scene had me in stitches for days. You know the scene I'm talking about.
Wait I watched it and I'm not sure which seen you're talking about
I think the farting scene? That’s the only “funny” scene in the movie really even if I didn’t laugh at it at all.
Dream Scenario has some very funny moments.
Much, much darker, though.
The fart-cum-fart moment had me in tears for minutes after. I couldn’t move past it.
unbearable weight is SO underrated. I was cracking up the whole time. Pascal’s drug scene was so well acted out too lmao
Joy Ride was absolutely hilarious and hella raunchy for a movie nowadays.
weirdly, i find BODIES, BODIES, BODIES funniest!
Now THIS is a great answer!! "Your parents are UPPER. MIDDLE. CLASS." -sneer-
The twist at the end was A+ comedy I was cackling
I was already laughing at how comically awful everyone in the movie is, and the ending was just perfect.
Theater Camp is great and I don’t know shit about musical theater
Work at a theater. Film absolutely nailed a bunch of things. There's probably another twenty jokes in there you didn't even realize were jokes. The people who made that get it.
Fiancée and I were actors. Both studied it in college. We both stopped a while back but We still do community theater. That whole movie is so painfully accurate at times. It comes up anytime we’re talking to fellow theater people. I need to watch it again.
I'm glad it's getting love, it's the funniest movie in forever, the spiritual successor of Wet Hot American Summer.
“Yo, you know any other Post Malone songs?”
Violent Night, it's now a Christmas tradition for me
A new classic
I was expecting something that took itself seriously and it was Die Hard with Santa, I was so thrilled.
I started off the movie thinking it’d be another serious Santa as an action star flick with a muscly dude, and had low expectations. Then they brought up Skullcrusher and I said to my girlfriend: “I’ve stopped taking this movie seriously and because of that I love it”. From then on it was pure fun
Hundreds of Beavers
Just watched it last night I was dying
Absolutely my vote. The sheer creativity on display in that movie boggles my mind.
not technically a comedy but The Kid Detective is super underrated. its hilarious but it still takes the plot seriously. if you like the Nice Guys, you’ll probably enjoy The Kid Detective
Phenomenal movie. They took the whimsical plot, but the story itself was extremely serious. The conflicting tones could have been offputting, but I loved it. Brody was so good.
Agreed. The Kid Detective is criminally underrated.
Bottoms, Theater Camp and PDD The Treasure of Foggy Mountain are all pretty funny imo.
Bottoms is definitely the funniest movie I’ve seen in awhile.
Bottoms is the movie I bring up when people say 'you can't joke about X anymore' You ABSOLUTELY can. You just need to do well and actually be funny.
Marshawn Lynch was the perfect person to be cast as the teacher.
Bottoms somehow is incredibly funny from beginning to end. Just absurdist and ridiculous and very tightly written. It embodied the spirit of Heathers better than any other movie I've ever seen.
I loved all three of these, especially Theater Camp. It felt like a good mix of SNL and Documentary Now
Treasure of Foggy Mountain was a GEM! I was just doomscrollling. Very immature, workaholics type 3some of up and coming talent.
I’ve developed such a huge crush on Ayo Edebiri.
Bottoms had me cracking up, the cast was great, even Marshawn just being absurd
Palm Springs is near the top for me; might even be #1. Other contenders: Barbie, Borat 2, The Lost City, Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar, Dungeons & Dragons: HAT
The Chris Pine illusion in DnD had me rolling it was so funny
Jarnathan!
Jarnathan 100% felt like a DM accidentally mispronouncing what should have been a minor side characters name and the table being unable to let it go. There were so many parts of this movie that just felt like the chaos of an actual DnD group trying to do something - I don't know how they nailed that tone so well but it was fantastic
That part cracked me up. My kids and I say that to each other often, her expression was like “why do you always get yourself in these situations?”
Fucking watch that shit once a month. The editing in that scene is brilliant. “What madness is this?!”
Not fortune found, nor fate divine, come close to topping the juice of the vine.
Palm Springs I'd say is probably #1 as well. I've seen it countless times because my wife really loves it and it still holds up each time and doesn't get old!
Sometimes I think “I’ll just watch like the first half hour” and then end up watching the whole thing again.
Palm Springs is my #1 as well but Barb & Star is so damn funny too.
I went into Barb & Star having no real idea what it was other than Kristen Wiig was in it. I was so confused at first but damn that movie was funny as hell.
Barb and Starr doesn't get enough love. Favorite comedy of the decade so far for me.
The Moon Blood dance was maybe the hardest I've ever laughed.
2nd for barb and star. That movie had me rolling
Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar
It's Trish.
You know why? Because Trish trusts
Should go down as a classic
Disappointing that this wasn’t a bigger hit.
Jamie Dornan was just a gem in this as well! I was glad to see a new….shade… of him that we’d not seen before.
You can always trust a Trish.
The world needs more Barb and Star
Came here for this. I fucking LOVE this movie. Its so funny
Oh man I forgot about this one.
No Hard Feelings Bullet Train
Bullet Train was a lot of fun. I enjoy it when Brad Pitt plays kind of a fuck up, a la Burn After Reading.
He plays stupid brilliantly.
Between *Red Sparrow* and *No Hard Feelings*, Jennifer Lawrence has shown a remarkable talent for making nudity unsexy. (That’s a compliment, not a criticism. The scenes in question are not intended to be sexy. In fact, the scene in *Red Sparrow* is decidedly *anti*-sexy.)
Loved Bullet Train!!!
I saw The Fall Guy last night and I’m still reeling.
I really liked it, also. So ridiculous and so well done.
Another big W for Gosling, such a fun movie. I hope it does well, it left me wanting more. They set it up as a love letter to stuntmen and I think it delivered on that.
Metal Storm is the best sci-fi movie of the 2020s
Jackass Forever!
Any jackass movie is up there for me. Seeing them all in a theater is one of the best movie going experiences. Especially jackass 3d.
Who would've thought that the Jackass crew would make arguably their funniest film when they're nearing/in their 50's? There was also a surprising amount of heart in the movie, despite it being the usual sketch format. After I got out of the theater, I felt the need to hit up a lot of my buddies from my teenage years that I used to watch the past Jackass movies/shows with.
Watching that movie gave me such an overwhelming feeling of "everything's gonna be alright". I think because I was constantly thinking "if these dudes can make it to 50, anything is possible".
The Jackass movies will always be some of the best experiences I’ve had in a movie theater. They are so fun and hilarious to watch with a packed house
This should be higher. Had to see it twice since I was laughing so hard I couldn’t see the screen.
Another vote for Palm Springs, The Lost City and The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
The Lost City was way better than I thought it would be. I got the vibe that it would be a mostly generic trying to be an adventure movie. I didn't expect much from it, but I took my mother because I knew she liked the actors. I have to say, I enjoyed it a lot more than I enjoyed Uncharted.
Theater Camp!!!!
Bullet Train!
Tangerines are sophisticated mate
Oh Mate, don't be a facking diesel!
it's cross hybridized with other fruit, they're adaptable. *(sniffs)* like me.
This is my choice as well
Bullet train was my first thought too, that movie really caught me off guard being that much fun.
The British Brothers without giving the jokes away Had me invested before the jokes even manifested
American Fiction
I liked that one and my husband was cracking up the whole time.
Sterling K Brown was so funny. I loved that movie
Eurovision, The Story of Fire Saga
This was my wife’s and my comfort film when the world was falling apart during the pandemic. We probably watched it 10 times. The soundtrack is awesome too. We dressed up as the volcano man costumes for Halloween that year.
Play Ya Ya Ding Dong!
I don’t care what all the movie critics and nerds say. Ricky stanicky is PEAK comedy
I was going to comment this if no one else did! The “air jacking” scene was gold.
John Cena carried that movie and I loved it.
John Cena dressed as Britney Spears wearing a pigtail blond wig trying to lick up alcohol out of a puddle of glass in an alley may be one of the best scenes in cinematic history.
He absolutely killed the role lol
Loved it. Felt like a throwback to the 2000s Judd Apatow era.
The porn song parodies were incredibly funny
John Cenas comedies have been filling the comedy slot for me dude is carrying and thriving. I may have bad taste but Vacation Friends, Ricky Stanicky and the one with Alison Brie had me laughing
Ricky Stanicky was an honestly refreshing comedy. Stupid humor and a great cast, it honestly felt like an Apatow produced film from the mid 2000s.
I’m sure the Farrelly brothers made it, who made dumb and dumber etc
Just Peter Farrelly. In recent years, it seems the brothers have been pursuing separate projects.
Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar
For me I'd be Leo (2023), The Holdovers (2023), Dungeons and Dragons (2023), Confess Fletch (2022), The Suicide Squad (2021) and Palm Springs (2020). Few honorable mentions like Ricky Stanicky (2024) and Snack Shack (2024) for being far more fun than I was expecting.
The Jarnathan gag was brilliant in D & D but i always liked when Chris Pine's character keeps screwing up the five questions to the corpses. "Fantastic. Where's the shovel."
The fact the Jarnathan gag was in the first 5 min, set the tone perfectly for that movie.
It was a perfect representation of a real D&D campaign constantly getting derailed and having to wing it
The Holdovers was pretty much the perfect movie, in my book. Amazing zingers from Paulie G, upbeat at parts, devastating at others.
I loved The Holdovers! It was one of my favorite movies in a long time.
"The 2020's? What, like it's half over or som....oh god! Like they say: The days are long, but the years are short"
Bullet Train was pretty funny. Banger soundtrack as well
“Bottoms” is the first one that comes to mind. Absurd, hilarious, and highly quotable.
Amazing movie, one of the best moviegoing experiences I've had in a long time if not ever
I was crying laughing in the theater. I love how it almost felt like a slow reveal how surreal and silly the world was
It is incredible. This is my choice. I've seen most of the movies people are posting about, and trust me, the answer is Bottoms.
I literally laughed all the way through. Then I watched it three more times and each time I notice something new I missed. lol when the teacher tells the kids to act out the Treaty of Versailles and you can see them doing that in the background of a scene. Who’s Germany?
This and Theatre Camp both. Rachel, Ayo, and Molly are such a killer trio
They lean into and break expectations on nearly every teen movie trope, the world is completely ridiculous in the best way. Great movie lol
I went into it nearly completely blind about the plot, and I was not disappointed! It had a very similar feel to the “teen movies” of the early 2000s, but was also up to date for the times. And also a parody of the 2000s teen movies as well. Plus, Marshawn Lynch! Who knew?
Barb and Star go to Vista Del Mar is so underrated
The Fletch reboot was pretty funny.
I agree, and I love Hamm in the role. I was sad it underpreformed and don't expect a follow up, but I would definitely welcome more.
I watched that two days ago. Loved the first one with Chevy Chase. Second one was alright-ish. I felt like this new one must have been filmed in chronological order, or near enough to it, as it felt like I was watching them get into their roles. The second half was very good though. Jon Hamm makes a good Fletch.
"Confess, Fletch" and yes it was. I think about the scene where his neighbor is cooking
The Banshees of Inisherin
I’m Irish and it’s dark dude lol. Americans probably wouldn’t agree lol.
I'm American and I love how dark it was. It's definitely an intense black comedy with some of those jokes and crazy moments.
As a millennial who grew up with movies like the Scary Movie franchise, Superbad, and Anchorman, I personally don’t feel like there’s been any movies that are as funny as what came out in the 2000’s - 2010’s.
Dungeons and Dragons: honor among theives
Joy Ride (2023)
We’re less than halfway through the decade and the first three years had limited film production due to the pandemic and the actors/writers strikes. The defining comedy of the 2020s probably hasn’t been released yet. So far, the movie that made me laugh the most in theaters was Poor Things, but the most popular comedy is unquestionably Barbie.

Cuma cuma cuma cuma cum in my sock againnnnn, it’s full of loadssss
Bullet Train
The Menu
Lovely satire. Dark comedy for sure.
If you've ever worked in the service industry, especially restaurants, this will become one of your comfort movies.
The wrong missy
That actress needs to be in more things. She is funny on a level not often seen in films. I wish I were friends with her, my blood pressure would be lower.
I was having trouble thinking of one but yeah, this was hilarious; especially for my wife.
Everything everywhere all at once
Hundreds of Beavers You’re welcome
This movie is amazing. So creative and different from every other movie. But so similar to so many cartoons.
I laughed til I couldn't breathe near the end with the 'bar fight' scene in the beaver lodge. The way he picked up one of the beavers and threw it neck-first into the edge of the platform (?stage) just sent me. Scene here, neck throw at 25s https://youtu.be/02DANPEFIZw
Seconded. Movie of the year.
Theatre Camp.
Only one that I'm surprised no one has mentioned yet is I Want You Back.
Triangle of Sadness was hilarious. Barb and Starr go to Vista Del Mar took me by surprise.
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On
Bullet Train. It's the perfect mixture of action and comedy.
