Worst Comedies
 

Chatting with coworkers, one of them was talking about how Dumb and Dumber is his favorite comedy. For me, hearing that was worthy of a good puking.

Ironically, this is kind of how I felt when I heard that.

Attachment 10869

My least favorite comedies, in no particular order:

- Dumb and Dumber
- The Hangover
- Anything directed by Tyler Perry
- Sister Act
- Elf
- Austin Powers
- Wayne's World
- This is Spinal Tap

I know Dumb and Dumber is a classic, am I crazy for hating it? And I will argue to the death that Spinal Tap is completely unfunny.

That's my Boy-this is a vile,disgusting,putrid unfunny mess of a film. This film is complete garbage. Adam Sandler hit new lows with this one. This is about as funny as the Holocaust.

Dinner with Schmucks-god this film was painfully unfunny. Horrid

Hangover Part 2-this film was a replica of the first Hangover. This film sucked. One of the laziest sequels ever made.

A Haunted House-complete turd, even worse than all those scary movie films

epic movie,disaster movie,date movie,meet the spartans,etc. All these films are abominations.

Envy

One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Starring Ben Stiller and Jack Black as two best friends, one makes millions off a spray that vanishes poo while the other becomes insanely jealous of him.

The.

Worst.

I remember really wanting to watch that when it first came out, upon Wikipedia'ing as I write this I'm really considering re-evaluating my life choices

Edit: I'm dumb and forgot to keep my post relevant to the topic, I'd have to say the worst comedy I've ever seen is Jack and Jill. You know, the Adam Sandler flick? It's garbage. Absolute garbage.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Some more crap comedies:

Grown Ups-lazy,lazy,lazy. No effort goes into making this film. The jokes are stale and corny. Nothing to see here.

Jack and Jill-Need I say more? Have not seen it and never plan to, but I think we are all aware of how godawful this movie is.

The Sitter-this film was awful. Not funny,not clever,not unique. Just a tedious film that I couldn't wait for it to end.

18 year old virgin-awful film. This is basically a ****** soft core porno.

Project X-bad film. I didn't hate it that much but this deserves to be listed. This film is completely brain-dead,void of any heart or humor, is cynical and just complete garbage for the masses to eat up. This is a stupid film for stupid people.

Employee of the Month-dane cook is not funny..at all. Do not watch this crappy movie.

Okay, I disagree on SO many of these. I have, however not seen a single Tyler Perry film, nor do I wish to see one, so I cannot comment on their quality or lack thereof. And Sister Act was one of my mum's favorite movies so it gets a pass from me.

But I will defend This Is Spinal Tap to the death. That is a masterwork. It's so well made that people actually believed that Spinal Tap were a real band. MTV ran their video for Hell Hole for months before realizing it was a sham and then banned them from the airwaves. And this was with the obviously recognizable Michael McKean as the lead singer, too. The film is endlessly quotable, it takes the piss out of every rock band known at the time, from the Beatles to Kiss to Black Sabbath, and even Led Zeppelin. Some of the songs are even really great hard rock songs! It's one of the best comedies ever, in my opinion.

Bad Comedies?

-any of the "epic movie/date movie/disaster movie" series. Making reference to something is not the same thing as making a joke. Everyone needs to stop seeing these so that they will stop making them.

The above are some that spring to mind, can't really think of anything else.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

American Pie Presents: The Book of Love
Little Man
Soul Plane
White Chicks
Ghostbusters

Re: Worst Comedies
 

I have never understood the appeal of DUMB AND DUMBER either. I definitely agree with you regarding SOUL PLANE and WHITE CHICKS, but GHOSTBUSTERS? Seriously? You're entitled to your opinion, but I think that was a fantastic movie and a deserved classic. Actually, the first movie that popped into my head when I saw the title of this thread was NORBIT.

Superbad is exactly that. Other bad ones are:

Meet the Parents
The Hangover
Role Models
40 Year old virgin
Horrible Bosses

Re: Worst Comedies
 

With the exception of Dumb and Dumber, Wayne's World, This is Spinal Tap and Ghostbusters, all of which I liked/loved, I've not seen any of the other films mentioned because... Well, they all looked crap, :shrug:

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Freddy Got Fingered... truly awful!

Not a big fan of comedies by any means. But anything by Adam Sandler these are very very bad!

American Pie after the first one is ****.
Hate Hangover series.
Don't like Dumb and Dumber. They were good in a cartoon, not in a movie.
Not all movie i hate. Sacry movie 1,2,3 were good. After that were crap.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Mean Girls (**** this movie!)
Dumber & Dumberer (for those who hate the first)
The Movie movies including Meet the Spartans and the rest of the parody movies that those idiots made!
Freddy Got Fingered
The Fred trilogy
American Pie and all it's awful sequels
Master of Disguise (you include Wayne's World, but not this piece of ****?!)
All the ****** Dr. Suess movies that try to be comedies
Elf
Everything from Adam Sandler except Happy Gilmore, Grown Ups, and That's My Boy

Re: Worst Comedies
 

The Dictator-this film was painfully unfunny. Some okay jokes here and there, but it's nothing original or inventive

Good Luck Chuck-dane cook is awful. This film really sucks

Waiting 2- I really like the first waiting film. This 2nd one was complete garbage.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

What didn't you like about it?

That's a kinky title, but I guess the movie itself is horrible!

Personal note: It would be easier to write down good comedy films and it would be quite a challenge to me, since I find most of them utterly pathetic and unfunny.

The film is also misleading as the "fingering" is a lie Tom Green tells about his brother getting abused as a kid. It is just a piece of crap and not kinky at all.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

I disagree with a lot of those, though I'm not a huge fan of them all either. Many were okay.

I liked Elf a lot. The first two Austin Powers were great, the third pretty weak. Spinal Tap is overrated IMO, but wasn't bad. Like I said, I found most of these (that I've seen) were okay, some I am quite fond of, but not many I'd consider particularly bad.

It has no plot! For something to be funny, you need plot, damn it! Not one thing in Mean Girls is regarded as 'funny'. It's just annoyance to the max with everything eather being sexual, loud, or obnoxious. It has that lier revealed cliche that i can't stand. It's ****ing terrible and I don't see how anybody could like this pile of *******. If you want a good high school comedy, watch 21 Jump Street.
