Telegraph Top 10 Comedy Films

Wow, I haven't even seen all these films, how did they come up with the list?

The online Tory graph (tee hee) does a good caption competition daily.

Top 10s always annoy.

But the Torygraph chose Withnail, it it me, or eH?

Thought they'd have wanted it banned.

On that basis would have expected Preaching to the Perverted, Personal Services, or even 2 Girls one cup.

Maybe 12 girls, one Cabinet Minister, no cup.

PS Aaron and Mark why aren't my quote tags working ?

God knows. The quotes have been doing odd things recently. I'll try and take a look at it later.

Cross-dressing perves the lot of 'em.

:O

Out of that list, there is only one film which I have seen. 0 points to the first person to guess correctly.

Sadly the Torygraph caption contest seems to have disappeared recently ? unless you can point me at it ?

Butty hell you're right it's gone. That caption comp used to keep me going through boring work meetings. Never won it though, did you?

How is Will Ferrell not in there for Anchorman!! GENIUS!

Agree, Old Skool + Will Ferrel = Amazing Film.

I love Anchorman - top comedy film for me!

This list makes my top 10 list of the worst lists ever.
Those are some funny movies but funniest? I barely laughed at "Meet the Parents". Like Griff said, it has no Marx brothers or Python thus this list is does not matter.

Ok turn abouts fair play what's the 10 worst comedy films of all time?

Schindlers List is funnier than half them films!!

WAIT A MIN!! Did i just say that!! oops

Yes finally, it is a funny film! Comedy can be very, very dark, and challenging. There are many forms of laughter.

The guilty look to either side at the cinema is a fine one.

As for worst, or rather most over rated film,

Meet the Parents, and Da Ali G Movie

However I will be very cross with anyone who denies the genius of the Borat movie.

Oooh, possibly time to brace yourself then!

I liked Borat but didn't find it as funny as some people seem to make it out to be. However, Hot Fuzz is a wonderful movie with so many jokes I didn't get or see the first time.

Borat is very funny in places, and screamingly unfunny in other places. Plus the racial slurs get a wee bit OTT. n.b. Kazakhstan is one of the most ethnically tolerant places in central Asia, as Stalin stuffed it with exiles not sufficiently naughty for Siberia. As for these gits, please make a nasty film about them
