I need a laugh!
I need a laugh!
I thought I'd start a thread on our favourite funny movies and shows. Doesn't have to be comedy, as long as it made you laugh. Whether it's a rom-com, stand-up show, horror movie that's so bad it's hilarious, anything goes.
One minor requirement though: please include a rating out of 10 on how highbrow/lowbrow you found the humour. Note that this is not synonymous with how amusing you found it. For instance, I'd give Anchorman a 2/10, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail a 9/10, even though I enjoyed both around as much. If you think this doesn't apply (e.g. with the bad horror movies) then feel free to omit it.

Re: I need a laugh!
My number one favourite film of all time for a good laugh is The Green Slime
In 1968 they made the worlds worst sci-fi film... It involves space, a terrible love triangle that will have you spewing your cereal (should you watch it while eating breakfast), green slime which grows into the most terribly made monsters... and a soundtrack reminiscent of a Rammstein Concert...
If you want a good laugh thats not meant to be humourus then do yourself a favour and find this little gem of a Z Grade horror film... its bad, its poorly written... but if ever I have had a laugh... well... then this one is it!

Re: I need a laugh!
Related to IT crowd. They tried to make a US version of it...
Could only watch the first half of it before giving up. It's basically got the same script, same jokes, even the same Moss... I swear they could've just taken his bits from the original and edit him into the US one xD

where have the days of musical horrors Gone I miss them.

It's lacking in humour but I know at least one musical horror, Repo! The Genetic Opera.KinkInZA wrote:where have the days of musical horrors Gone I miss them.

Re: I need a laugh!
I auditioned for the voice of Audrey II for our high school production.
Didn't get it, they said I was too sinister and not jazzy enough.

I was Audrey in our school production. I was the only primary school kid in the high school production. I sounded sweet and innocent...

Sweeney Todd grossed me out more than it amused me, to be honest.

Re: I need a laugh!
Sweeny Todd is my 5th favourite musical... I love it. I think it's hilarious and I would totes become a murderous pie making assistant to Johnny Depp any day (the stage musical is cool too )
