You mudder fucker!
Spaceballs- I like some Mel Brooks, but I frankly failed to see whatever humor everybody else saw here.
Clerks- I liked the show, but this was just too stupid to put up with. One of the rare movies I stopped watching before the end, and I watched Police Academy 2 all the way through, for Og’s sake.
Caddyshack- Mom raved to me for years about how great and funny this movie was. What a bore. I suspect it might just be that Mom’s just got weird taste in movies (she likes Grease, AKA the two hours of my life worst spent on entertainment).
All Adam Sandler movies. They all seem to degenerate into the SAME romantic “comedy”.
Anything by Chris Farley. The guy just wasn’t funny.
Seinfeld- I admit, I did watch a lot of episodes, including the much-vaunted final ep. But at best, I never got more than a chuckle every few episodes.
Everybody Loves Raymond- I don’t find Ray Romano entertaining, the MIL is an irritating moron, and the wife strikes me as whiny. Ray’s brother and father are tolerable, but the other three are just too much irritation for one show to take.
There’s Something About Mary and others of that ilk might be funny if you were able to screen them before the promo-ads, previews and movie snippets shown on talk shows. By the time I get around to seeing the movie, I have seen every funny scene 30 times. Sadly, often the ONLY funny parts of the whole film are shown in the previews.
I am more inclined to find scenes funny in a movie, rather than the whole movie. For example, Raiders Of The Lost Ark was hardly a comedy, but the unexpected action by Indiana Jones when the evil fiend pulled out his sword in the market square cracked me up. The shot of the audience reaction in The Producers during the Springtime For Hitler number made me laugh out loud.
But when I hear reviews “rolling in the aisles with laughter”, “funniest film of the year”, etc., I know I am going to be disappointed. Hey, I never thought clowns were even slightly funny, so I guess I have a warped sense of humor.
There is an old Hollywood film, “Hellzapoppin’” that ran in a late night movie theater in Berlin for years and years. People would go to a bar, or smoke herbs, before going to the movie theater at midnight to see it - it was a classic slapstick sightgag non-plot film of stupid humor that was very funny when watched with a spaced out crowd late at night.
I also laughed out loud at the early John Waters films (Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble). Again, maybe it was the crazy fools in the theater with me who made it even funnier.
It has often been said that comedy is the hardest form of entertainment - which is probably why you don’t see comedies ever winning Best Film Oscars. From the reactions on this thread, I can see why.
And for the record, I hated Rocky Horror Picture Show too.
Heathers. If I had a dime for every person who told me that this movie was “brilliant,” I could have bailed out Enron, Global Crossing, and still have enough left over to bail out California.
I don’t think I laughed once. Okay, I got close to it a couple of times, but then the moments passed.
Cheers. What did everybody see in this show? I still haven’t figured it out. I think the crowning moment of the series was the Tonight Show “interview” with the cast, drunk as skunks. Now that is comedy.
Agree about Chris Farley.
Saturday Night Live had to be hopelessly desperate to even recruit this guy for the show. He had to be one of the most unamusing performers ever to appear on that show (Joe Piscopo comes in 2nd) And he made such a point of comparing himself to John Belushi and John Candy, placing himself in the pantheon of “fat comedians”. I think he failed to make the distinction: Belushi and Candy were, in fact, fat and also very funny, whereas Farley was just fat and a completely talentless hack.
I didn’t get the humour in Seinfeld, or in Everybody Loves Raymond. For some reason the laugh track in Everybody Loves Raymond REALLY annoys me, even when someone else is watching and it’s just background noise.
I’m pretty sure most of you guys would hate this too, but I guess some people must have liked Freddy Got Fingered. It was gross and not at all funny. I’m glad I didn’t pay to watch it.
The show?!? Wasn’t there only two episodes aired of the animated series (of which I only saw the first one, and felt only the last 2 minutes were funny, when they invade the Korean animation studio with Tom Cruise or somebody (and the car transforms into a robot with people in it)).
Thank goodness I’m not the only one who hates that movie.
A Night at the Roxbury never made me laugh.
Adam Sandler movies seem to have funniness forced, which makes them not funny, [bob barker] Bitch! [/bob barker].
I love The Princess Bride to death. Every time I watch it, I award it 2 thumbs up!
I also love This is Spinal Tap but many of my friends don’t get it. [Derek Smalls] You can’t really. . . DUST. . . for vomit. [/Derek Smalls]. roflmao The commentary on the DVD is to die for.
Back in my BBS days, I hung out with the weirdos who saw Rocky Horror 600 times and went every Friday night. I finally went with them. They made me go up front with all the other RHPS virgins and do the sodomy conga-line.
10 minutes into the movie I fell asleep. Next time I went they made me do the conga-line again.
I stayed awake the next time, but I didn’t get the appeal of the movie, and still don’t to this day. Although it was funny when one of the stage cast went up and punched Susan Sarandon’s boobs like punching bags.
The War of the Roses
It wasn’t humorous, just disturbing. Sorta like Caligula, only not quite so much.
Spaceballs wasn’t all-around Brooks-level humor, but when he got beamed down and his head was on backwards, and he looked down and said, “why didn’t anyone tell me my ass was so big?”, I thought I’d wet myself laughing.
Taxi, I liked it but didn’t find it terribly funny. It had a lot of depressing moments.
The laugh may just be on you on this one. There is no Part II of this movie… or if there is one then it is a secret.
Part I did end with higlights from Part II (Hitler on Ice etc) but my guess is that it was just another gag
Ah, so there is. I don’t know where I came up with Part II. My mistake. 
You know, for a long time I thought I was the only person on the face of the Earth who didn’t think Seinfeld was funny.
It’s nice to see I’m not alone.
Yeah, I don’t get the appeal of The Princess Bride either. Or Adam Sandler. Or There’s Something About Mary.
I don’t think RHPS is particularly funny but I went to a few midnight shows because I really dug the idea of being allowed to yell a lot and throw things and know that I wasn’t pissing anyone off because they were all doing it too.
Orgazmo
Frasier
most sitcoms actually
[Jerry Seinfeld]
And now I hear that some people don’t like me. Who Are These People?
[/Jerry Seinfeld]
I hated the show, too. The only parts I EVER found enjoyable were George Costanza and his parents.
And, dear god, I’d rather pound my nuts flat with a wooden hammer than see ANY network sitcom.
Oh see I thought Orgazmo was HYSTERICALLY funny. But then I am a native utahn so I got all the jokes;)
