Ugh. What a horrid list, I don't know where to start. First of all, it's obvious that we're leaning toward more recent frat-boy, fart humor comedies. But 6 movies with Ben Stiller in it? Vince Vaughn's entire ouevre? Meet the Fockers, Legally Blonde, Mrs. Doubtfire are all better than Monty Python and the Holy Grail? I don't think so. Plus, Shrek, The Wedding Singer and Ace Ventura shouldn't be anywhere near the Top 10, so move those out and put in Young Frankenstein, Holy Grail, and Annie Hall.

Right away, you can remove The Nutty Professor (yes, they chose the Eddie Murphy remake), The Incredibles, What About Bob? and Half Baked, and put Life of Brian, Fletch, a Marx Brothers movie (Duck Soup will suffice), and Some Like it Hot on there. Wait a sec--they included THE ENTIRE POLICE ACADEMY SERIES? Those movies didn't even make my Top 1000 funniest movies list.

This list makes me want to puke blood. If that was their intention, well, BRAVO!
