I love a good parody … _Blazing Saddles_, _Airplane!_, _Austin Powers_ (I and II), and, of course _The Naked Gun_ (all three of 'em). ---

Raising Arizona, O Brother Where art Thou? and Joe Dirt all three crack me up every time I see them. Usually the original French “The Visitors” (subtitled) will crack me up too, but I have to go put it in the DVD player, so I’m expecting it. ---

**Office Space The Princess Bride Undercover Blues** (My name is _Muerte_!) **What About Bob? Ghostbusters Groundhog Day** (Pretty much anything will Bill Murray in it, actually) **Airplane Clerks Dogma** That’s about all I can think of. ---

> [@Lord Ashtar](#): > > I never fail to crack up at the first half of _Full Metal Jacket_. The second half? Not so much. The second half has its moments, though: “Sir, does this mean Ann-Margaret’s not coming?” “Easy. You don’t lead 'em so much…Ain’t war hell!” “Well, pilgrim, only after you eat the peanuts out of my sheeeiiit.” ---

Another vote for **Meet the Parents**. Plus **There’s Something about Mary**. Although this may have to do with the fact that I’ve never seen it from start to finish. And **Annie Hall** - the intellectual in the film queue (and Allen’s insecure reaction) gets me every time. ---

> [@](#): > > I can’t help it, but Zoolander has made me laugh every time I’ve watched it (except the first time; for some reason I thought it was intolerably dumb). I had the exact same reaction to Zoolander (and Meet The Parents). Pretty much anything Monty Python A Fish Called Wanda Office Space Snatch Actually most of the movies people have mentioned crack me up. So I guess I’ll just make it easy and say E. All of the above. 😃 Special mention to The Emperor’s New Groove. That movie always has me in stitches.
