First, why is Gene Shalit holding a giant sausage?

Man, that dog is the Bo Jackson of golden retrievers. Is there anything he can't do?

I don't know. While I'm pretty sure it's not written into the rulebook that dogs can't play baseball, I could have sworn there was an explicit, "a raccoon can't play baseball," clause.
It feels like they're playing fast and loose with the actual rules of baseball to me.

He can't help me finish coding the countdown stuff.

He's a 90s dog they thought the internet was just a fad. You need to get Air Bud's son to help you.

His children are astronauts. Of course they could help with the coding. They may lack their dad's athleticism, but they're the ones with the brains.

Given Hulk Hogan's history this GIF has an unfortunate extra layer to it... :shifty:
Now that you mention it, the countdown has indeed been populated with problematic individuals. Hulk Hogan's racist remarks, Cosby's sex crimes, Kangaroo Jack's extortion conviction. And of course there's the rumors of Air Bud's reliance on performance-enhancing drugs. Will Marmaduke's recent arrest for public urination and meth possession affect his movie's placement on the list? Time will tell.

Since Ed, I think the rules of baseball have been EXTREMELY flexible.
Not quite, no. Probably the day I mostly finish my end.
Not to get all heavy, but I wasn't being casual when I listed all those things earlier. I've literally been in pain every day the last couple of weeks, amidst a lot of work stuff and a house closing and car repairs.
I'm gonna be fine, no worries there, but I actually do need this time to make sure the countdown goes more or less smoothly and there's really no way to change that. Gimme a few days. :)
Yoda, I don't know if you care, but I for one, don't care when you do it, I just know you'll do it right.
Feel better.

I expect the dark comedy that is the Russian Revolution to show up in the top 10. Though he shared his writing credits equally with his brothers, I feel like Karl was the real driving force in the comedy troupe.

Two revered classics, including what many consider to be the greatest stand-up special ever filmed. I'm insulted that these two are so low on the countdown. Clearly my genius isn't fully appreciated by the MoFo community. :mad:

I wouldn't mind letting him finish. Most of the movies on my list probably have a better chance of making his list than the MoFo list. :lol:
Captain Spaulding: Live in Concert better be #1.
My one pointer, but it really should be in the top 5 at least:
87547
The evil Marcus "Ming" Samuelsson kidnaps FGR from Hell's Kitchen to cook for his minions. FGR fights time (with an egg timer) and hungry bad guys as he bakes up this Comedy/Space Opera classic for all to enjoy.
Soundtrack done by Queen Latifah which includes the original hit U.N.I.T.E.A. Bags
An honorable mention goes to the adult spin off "Flesh Gordon Ramsay"
starring Mario "Big Meat Balls" Batali.

I actually like Silence Of The Hams. Not as in so-bad-it's-good, I genuinely find it a solid and funny spoof. It's kinda like a Naked Gun/Airplane-esque movie with a lower budget.

Only 1 of my movies was prior to 1980, and only 5 were after 2000. I guess for me, the golden age of comedy was the 1980s and 1990s. :)

Aah, Spaulding… a countdown by clown you can count on, right on! :up:
Unlike mr. Count Draaagula aka the little green monster sucking the life out of us all with this wait…
I thought one of the most important elements of comedy was….. it was…. was…… wa-…. t-t-t-TIMING!
Setups and payoffs, man… this must be the longest I’ve ever waited for a punchline… oh well, I’m sure the list will indeed be a JOKE at least! Ha-ha
(Obviously this is all fun and games! This is a thread about the comedy list after all, right y’all!? Right.. RIGHT?*
Sorry, I’m just trying to stay sane while waiting forever on that darn list… I’ll sure need it when it comes though. A 100 comedy flicks is probably what I’ll need to lift my spirits back up to normal)
