Hey, this is an amusing thread! 

I have tried to round up my top ten movies that can gotcha' outta that dark hole of dispair anytime you call, and 'ere's the list as follows:
(In no particular order - except the first one...)
 
Monty Python's Holy Grail
Dumb and Dumber
Kingpin
Ghostbusters (Murray, Aykroyd, Ramis and Moranis(!) .. .)
Groundhog day
Shaun of the dead
Transylvania 6-5000 (hugely underrated...by some.)
Trading Places
Shaolin Soccer (PLUS a bunch of other Kung-Fu comedies! Ex:"Magnificent Butcher" with Sammo)
See No Evil, Hear No Evil

Wow that really made me in a good mood! Great films!   

Never heard of "the Sleeper", is it the German film from 1998 on IMDB ??

[Scott]

I changed to to SLEEPER which is the correct title instead of "The Sleeper". It's a Woody Allen film Dr_Malavaqua. He has many pre-80's comedies that are great. Including TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN and BANNANA'S. Welcome to the forum Dr_Malavaqua.

Wanted to give mention to ACE VENTURA: WHEN NATURE CALLS.

Must give acknowledgement to OFFICE SPACE and TRADING PLACES.

Well, thank you Scott!
I have only seen a handful of W.A movies and this/these is/are not one/any of them..*storing it as a good movie in cavity between ears* Will watch it/them when I get the chance!      (And yes I will stop/cease with the "/" marks.. )

ACE VENTURA got the cut off unfortunately! Spot 11 or something.. 

ABBOTT and COSTELLO meet FRANKENSTEIN    Gaah! I want this movie, but unfortunately the order from the rain forest already shipped, and I can't afford the luxury of two orders in the same month... (Sweden, a far away country - with hot women.)     Also missed out on the TMNT box set, but that's another story! 

[Jack]

My top ten:

A Fish Called Wanda
Airplane
Four Weddings and a Funeral
The Blues Brothers

...uh, okay top 4.

EDIT:  add The Gods Must Be Crazy. 

[Khaz]

Monty Python's Meaning of life
The Night Shift
The life of Brian
History of the world part 2
Clerks 2
Office Space
Hot Fuzz
They Call me Bruce
Kung Pow
Transylvania 6-5000 ( I agree this is underrated, I wore out 3 copies of this one on VHS )

[Scott]

ABBOTT and COSTELLO meet FRANKENSTEIN    Gaah! I want this movie, but unfortunately the order from the rain forest already shipped, and I can't afford the luxury of two orders in the same month... (Sweden, a far away country - with hot women.)     Also missed out on the TMNT box set, but that's another story! 

Also consider other ABBOTT & COSTELLO horror comedies.

Abbott And Costello: Meet The Killer (Boris Karloff)
Abbott And Costello: Hold That Ghost
Abbott And Costello: Meet The Ivisible Man
Abbott And Costello: Meet Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde
Abbott And Costello: Meet The Mummy

Actually they have many non-horror comedies as well.

Oh yea, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN is high on my list

I'll have to give TRANSYLVANIA 6-5000 a look. I haven't seen it yet.

[HappyGilmore]

Transylvania 6-5000 is great.

I was gonna list Spinal Tap.  Love that flick.

[lester1/2jr]

It's really hard to find good comedies.   Whenever I see one that doesn't look too terrible I put it right ast the top of my netflix que.  most comedies really aren't very funny. 

[JaseSF]

The Gods Must Be Crazy (Both)
Ghostbusters
Abbott & Costello Films
Marx Brothers Movies
Hope & Crosby Films
Ma & Pa Kettle films

[RCMerchant]
