Fairly comprehensive list of absolute gold comedies, though you lost me at "You Don't Mess With The Zohan".
Just thinking off the top of my head (Edit: I am sure you have seen a bunch of these but they weren't listed so I figured what the heck):
Macgruber
The 40 Year Old Virgin
Role Models
I Love You Man
Knocked Up
This is 40
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
The Other Guys
Uncle Buck (John Candy = Legend)
Waynes World
Ace Ventura
Dumb and Dumber
The Wedding Singer
Sean Of The Dead
Superbad
Old School
Booksmart
Good Boys
Wedding Crashers
Napoleon Dynamite
The Disaster Artist
I wish I hadn't seen all of these, just to be able to take them in for the first time again.
So much joy.

Knives Out was fantastic, Daniel Craig stole every scene he was in. It baffles me that Rian Johnson can make great movies like this and Looper but absoultely shat the bed with The Last Jedi. He needs to stick with original material where he's free to do whatever he wants
Over the course of the movie, the family members can’t agree on whether Marta’s family is from Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay, or Brazil. The film plays it for laugh – we’re meant to think of these characters as dumb, entitled and self-centered – but it also has something to say about the hypocrisy of those who consider themselves liberals yet show no regard for the people actually being affected by current policies.
Ana de Armas is set to become a Hollywood superstar. She had at least 7 movies scheduled for release this year before Covid, including being the next Bond Girl.
Craig will return in a Knives Out sequel currently in production.
I'm watching Warrior again, and I did not give Nick Nolte enough credit for his performance the first time around. He's fantastic, and quite heartbreaking in it.
Watched the Riff Track of the movie Radical Jack starring Billy Ray Cyrus and Dede Pfeiffer today, the commentary track alone makes a unwatchable movie watchable.

Agree, I just rewatched this one today, liked it better the second time around.
Watched The 33 (2017) this week, about the Chilean miners stuck in the, well, the mine (obviously). Some parts changed for dramatic reasons, but a fairly accurate movie all in all and pretty well done. Stars Antonio Banderas and Gabriel Byrne, among others.
Also watched The Lodge, starring Riley Keogh and Richard Armitage, about the daughter or a former cult leader whose cult committed mass suicide, off to spend some time with her boyfriend's kids at a remote lodge in the middle of nowhere. Some interesting cinematography, although quite a few shots were way too dark. Nothing groundbreaking, and a tad predictable, but some good performances, forgetting the absolutely ridiculous premise.
I had a low bar for Bad Boys for Life and it failed to even meet those low expectations. I simply don't understand how a movie this bad could generate the positive reviews it did. Can someone explain to me what police department pays a cop a salary that enables him to own a Porsche 911 and live on a million dollar penthouse suite? There was enough decent action sequences that it was somewhat tolerable as my boys liked it but the funny bits fell flat and it's just not very good.

He has a trust fund. It's explained 5 minutes into the first movie.

Watching Martin Lawrence action scenes during that movie was painful.
Also,
NSFW!
the bad guys were killing people involved in his mother's case to destroy Will Smith. But wouldn't killing his best friend and partner of 20 years destroy him quicker than some people from a trial long time ago?

It's been a while as the first movie was decent and it's the sequels that have been terrible.

Spoiler!
I'm surprised he didn't even try to get into shape for this movie although his character was close to retirement so it's somewhat believable he would not be in great shape as a middle aged man.
It's the equivalent of a F&F movie but lacking any charm or redeeming qualities that make those movies at least enjoyable as a popcorn flick.
