Pineapple Express and Superbad are at the top of what Apatow has touched in the past 5 years. And I love all of those movies.
Walk Hard may be the greatest movie ever made...
'Walk Hard' is fucking CORNY! Tropic Thunder was excellent!

rusty, i found "pineapple express" and "walk hard" equally hilarious.
Superbad was awesome! Apatow films are all great! Sarah Marshall, Funny People, 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, etc. - all excellent!

The Hangover was funnier than any movie mentioned thus far in this thread. 40 Year Old Virgin second. Haven't seen Walk Hard.

You're an idiot, The Hangover was the most hyped up comedy in forever, they tried to make a comedy without Apatow and it was flat.
The funniest part was all the pictures during the credits, nothing else made me laugh out loud.
Any Apatow movie > The Hangover
Not a single film listed, as yet, in this thread is remotely amusing. Grow up, computer fuckfaces.
What's funny then Julian?

You are a snob to think any of the movies in this thread weren't funny. Aquatic Life? Seriously? And you won't even ADMIT one movie in here is funny?
Wedding Crashers? Come on. Wedding Crashers is amazing.

Sarcasm? Wedding Crashers was shitty - Vince Vaughn is a tool

All of these movies are crappy in their own way but some much crappier than others. Thing is, the fact that they are so bad will often make a really bad movie funny; hence enjoyable. Not all can or will appreciate that angle.
Some of these I've liked, some I've hated and some I've yet to see.
Haven't seen Walk Hard yet because I hated the trailer so much. Maybe I'll give it a whirl one day.
Sometime this week I plan to watch Pot Zombies. (Radiated pot turns the stoners into a bunch of zombies who get a mean case of the muchies for human flesh.) It's guaranteed to suck! Oh, wait. That would be a vampire flick. Okay, it's guaranteed to bite!

Man, really? Well, what's a good comedy then?
Any Wes Anderson movie?

Let's face facts…Wes Anderson movies are hilarious, and Dr. Strangelove probably is easily a top 5 comedy of all time. But we're talking about dick jokes here, Julian…let's not muddy the conversation :)

Tropic Thunder is probably the worst comedy named in this thread.
Wes isn't really my cup of tea, his movies are enjoyable. I won't shit on them, but when I go to a movie and wanna be entertained for an hour and a half I'll take Beerfest over The Royal Tenenbaums.
Although Ben Stiller and his kids looking all the same is hilarious.

I actually paid to see Pineapple Express three times in the theaters, ridiculous. Just saw it again last weekend for the first time in a while (thank you, streaming Netflix) and it's still awesome.
"I'm just up here tryin to get a motherfuckin scholarship!"
Speaking of streaming Netflix, they have "Dirty Work", which has held up remarkably well. Some of Chris Farley's funniest moments in there.
Saw Hot Tub Time Machine last night and was pleasantly surprised.

I was disappointed with Hot Tub Time Machine, it had endless possibilities and I thought it was pretty lame.
Pineapple Express on the other hand, I love deeply.

Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz were both excellent comedies

Streamed Hot Tub Time Machine last week. It sucked yet had me laughing so it wasn't a total loss. Best viewed at home where your losses are minimal if you end up hating it. It really is bad but there is enough there to kill an hour and half's worth of home entertainment time. I do agree that it could have been so much better. Then again, it seemed to venture into all the parts of the '80s that I hated. Think the whole time they only played one song that I ever liked which I could have easily dealt with if the movie was any better. It's definitely very corny but I sort of expected that. Very, very cheesy. Don't even think of comparing it to a bigger and better production like Back To The Future. That would be like comparing some high grade Wisconsin cheese to Velveeta.
Watched Pot Zombies last night. Talk about bad! Yet, I laughed all the way through. Extremely bad acting, like a very early John Waters film, though perfect for the film. No plot whatsoever. Only vingettes of the same old thing all the way through. Just different renditions. Wish that I had been stoned because I'm sure that I would have laughed much more but, alas, that wasn't possible. Recommended only to those who love the art of really bad movies like Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes. If that tickles your funny bone, than you'll love Pot Zombies.

HTTM was parodying Back to the Future every step of the way, right down to the Crispin Glover casting (I thought he was too artsy now to cash in on stuff like this?)
What was the song? "I Will Dare"? They had an Echo song in there too…
