I like direwolf's list but they're missing one key ingredient.

Dumb and Dumber.

I've seen it a zillion times and I still stop every time it's on t.v. to watch even for a few minutes. Every single minute of that movie is gold. That's incredibly hard to do for any comedy.

Also, this movie:

I fully deserve to be called out for forgetting Dumb & Dumber. Truly a classic indeed.

And Hot Rod is so joyously silly, it's impossible not to laugh. It's worth watching just for the Footloose "punch dance" scene alone.

I think it's by far the funniest premise for a movie ever.

Struggling local stunt man finds out his step dad has incurable heart disease and decides that he cannot let him die before he wins his respect by kicking the #### out of him, so he does impossibly dangerous stunts to raise enough money to get him a heart transplant.

Just insane.

Also, I forgot to add 2012. John Cusak playing the Daddy hero character is absolutely hilarious to me.

Fast and Furious 5-8 and Hobbs & Shaw

When the franchise branched out into action-comedy.

Anything that Vin Diesel believes will win best picture.

McGrubber somehow made it into my rotation. Didn't really get it the first time, but it grew on me in a big way.
