AirplaneYou'll laugh today
Really an impossible choice because wheelhouse
It's when see things like in our 20s that become the 🐐 -
AirplaneCaddyshack
Naked Gun -
AirplaneI’m with Race. Airplane followed by Caddy shack and Naked Gun.
Everything listed is pretty much a classic. Porkys is great just because of all the nudity alone. -
F.O. Row Peter Puffer, you left off...Fast times at Ridgemont high
Porkys is weird
I loved Revenge of the Nerds as a young pubescent boy but when I got older I realized there was technically a rape in the Space house and the secret video of the “pies” is extremely uncomfortable -
Caddy Shack
I don't put Fast Times in the straight comedy bucket. It's got some good malarkey and what not, but still...JoeEDangerously said:Fast times at Ridgemont high

The Naked GunI had a hard time picking between Airplane and Naked Gun. Went with the latter because Priscilla Presley.

National Lampoon's VacationI'll be the dickhead who picks Cousin Eddie and Christie Brinkley.

Caddy Shack
If I ever meet @CFetters_Nacho_Lover in person (apparently we were in the vicinity of each other at the Rose Bowl) I'm gonna say to him "Nacho, you look like you could use a cool one" and then hand over a half drunk Banquet Beer.Swaye said:I'll be the dickhead who picks Cousin Eddie and Christie Brinkley.

AirplaneI would have pegged both Airplane and Caddyshack as 70s movies that dribbled into the 80s

F.O. Row Peter Puffer, you left off...
If I have to try and think about the hardest I've ever laughed at a movie, I'm probably going to forget the top 10. But the ones that stick out in my mind are the puppet-fucking sex scene in Team America: World Police; the back-to-back hilarious sex scenes in MacGruber; and the scene in Pee Wee's Big Adventure in which he's on a hog outside the biker bar, they're all saying goodbye to him, he twists the throttle, immediately crashes into a billboard, and they cartwheel a dummy Pee Wee out from behind. The timing and execution of that last gag is so impeccable that it gets me every tim.
Taken in their entirety, though, Naked Gun and Airplane are in a dead heat from this list. -
Trading PlacesI was a wee lad in the 80's but have seen most on the list of nominees. 80's is not a super strong decade if this is the best of comedy, IMO.

80’s the greatest decade of the last two centuries. -

The 80s were a glorious time to be a Kalifag. It kinda sucks now. No offense @RaceBannonPurpleThrobber said:

Re-lived weekly in the early 80’s
Sometimes daily.

Caddy Shackall time great movie...

National Lampoon's VacationA lot of good choices but I've watched Vacation like 25 times. My parents had some VHS copy. It was probably my brother's. I watched the hell out of that thing during lazy summer vacations.
-
F.O. Row Peter Puffer, you left off...No Beverly Hills Cop?
The winner is an Eddie Murphy movie. Which one, that is debatable. Vacation is the only one that is possibly better. -
AirplaneI think Planes, Trains and Automobiles should get a mention.
-
Airplane doesn't make me laugh. Almost every other movie listed is better, including Peewees Big Adventure.

Trading PlacesHonestly not certain I've watched Airplane straight through.
Growing up was a huge Police Academy fan, and some of its references are used today, hence the Blue Oyster Pump & Dump board. Some of the jokes I didn't understand and now are some of my favorite movie jokes. The Mahoney prostitute scene makes me laugh my ass off every time.

I feel like Trading Places is the one I've watched the most. Some good shit.
This is cued up for December recruiting.
Others, probably not white enough for Yella comedies:
Coming to America
I'm gonna git you sucka
