Also, the seventh Police Academy.

Scary Movie 1 - 2 - 3 -4

Scary Movie 1 - 2 - 3 -4

1 had its moments, 2 was god awful. 3 and 4 had director David Zucker on board who did the Naked Gun movies, Police Squad, Top Secret and Ruthless People. His trademark quality slapstick type of humor shows in 3 and 4, and made those more enjoyable than 1 and 2. But that's just my opinion

There's Something About Mary. Tedious, unfunny and boring.

I hate all of them, they would be better off making short internet sketches. They're not feature length material IMO

I didn't watch the entire thing, but I feel confident in saying that 2001: A Space Travesty is not funny AT ALL.

Witless Protection ranks as a crime against humanity.  It's not funny in any way, it's stupid and offensive.  The only positive element is that Jenny McCarthy looks good in it in a trashy sort of way:

2001: A Space Travesty is the worst comedy ever made, even for parody standards.

I just saw the Land of the Lost movie a few days ago.

That moive is the prime example of everything wrong with modern movie making.
Banking on nostalgia (which I'm not nesecarrily against if done wright) that has no respect for the original, and in fact seems to make a real effort of pointing out what was stupid with the original.
Poor attempts at quotability
all around poor direction
Over emphasis on toilet and/or sex humor

It takes a lot to make me hate a movie with dinosuars, but that movie did it.

99% of them. Im just not a comedy kinda gal. I might watch 3 a year and at least 2 of those will be comedy/horror. Most of the time they are just dumb. All the movies making fun of other movies... yeah, that is sooo original.   


In the last few years I can honestly say I have seen 2 that I liked.. Tropic thunder and The hangover.

Agreed on There's Something About Mary. I'd add Night At The Museum, and anything else with Ben Stiller. Will somebody please tell him he's not funny? In "Museum", he got upstaged by a CGI dinosaur skeleton and a senile Mickey Rooney.

I like to add another to this list.  Envy with Jack Black.  I remember wanting to see this a long time ago and I thought it would be very funny.  I liked the idea behind it, but after watching it, I found it extremely unfunny.  I might have chuckled once or twice, but the humor was just uninteresting and not funny at all.

Also, I'll throw in North as well.  While not a complete comedy and more of just a family film, the jokes in that film were terrible, offensive, and a bit racist at times.  I think the Nostalgia Critic put it best when he said, "This movie is pure evil."

Microwave Massacre was pretty bad, but in a good way. Most newer comedies are pretty much s**t.

I've always like Roger Ebert's famous review of NORTH:

I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it.

The worst ones are the horribly cliched wacky RomComs that Hollywood cranks out on a regular basis. My wife and mother-in-law forced me into watching The Ugly Truth the other night. Or how about What Happens in Vegas? Or 27 Dresses? Katherine Heigl, with the exception of Knocked Up, seems destined for a career of these awful abortions. Between these types of movies and CGI-driven hack remakes, I can't figure out which I hate more.

The only time I really hate a comedy is when it has unrealized potential, and that movie just seemed to miss the mark at every turn. The question through the whole movie is "where does the poo go?" and in the end, it just gets into the soil and contaminates the food chain. Honestly, how lame is that? You've got a product that evaporates poo, the plot requires it has a fatal flaw, and you're trying to be funny. How about having it condense and return as rain? A climactic s**t storm would have fit the bill perfectly. It's as if they weren't even trying.
