The Worst Comedies Around

[InformationGeek]

We always talk about bad sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and similiar films.  However, I have noticed there is one genre of film we don't normally seem to cover and that is comedies.  I figure I start a topic on the genre.  So, what do you guys think are the worst comedies?

Personally, I say the worst comedy in my view is Disaster Movie.  There is nothing funny about it at all.  Everything is completely pointless and all the parodies are of really films that didn't even come out during the film's production.  Heck, only 4 movies are parodied during the entire film that are actual disaster movies.  It is just a sad excuse for a movie.

Wacky Taxi (1972)

Looks and feels like sleazy gutter porn but its supposed to be a family comedy. There are actually a few attempts at "comedy" but executed very poorly. Another thing, using silly goofy music won't enhance the bad funny.

I felt Super Fuzz was pretty dire.. the only saving grace was the Super Snooper song!
Scavenger Hunt was pretty bad too.
Garbage Pail Kids: The Movie went beneath my already rock-bottom expectations.

It's not REALLY the worst, but one formula that I've come to really dislike are the films about basically good but flawed characters, who get continuously screwed over and badly hurt, in physical, financial and emotional ways, OVER AND OVER, only to have a miraculous and obnoxious happy ending that doesn't ring true.  Often times, their experience is in some way supposed to be for their own good.

A couple examples of this: Anger Management and Meet the Parents (and to a lesser extent, Meet the Fockers).  It's kind of like watching a serious depressing drama, only it is supposed to be funny and isn't, and doesn't have the catharsis a tragedy would have because of the crappy ending.  So it fails on every level.

But, probably the worst comedy I can recall and have watched all the way through is Drop Dead Fred.  I hate that film, just about every second of it from beginning to end.

Four Weddings and a Funeral.


Rubbish.
I don't think I laughed once.

ISHTAR.


There.  I said it.

Dukes of Hazzard.  "Hey, we put loud obnoxious morons on the screen - isn't this hilarious!?!?"  No.  It just makes me wonder how we ever figured out how to walk upright.

The "movie", if you even CALL it a movie, is just outdated jokes and puns. it was funny for Scary Movie, but now it is just old.

the worst for me is Superbabies 2.

I loved Super Fuzz and garbage pail kids the movie! Supa supaaaah

The worst comedy is Night Patrol featuring The unknown comic and a bunch of other LA losers of that era (80's)

THE CREATURE FROM THE HAUNTED SEA.  Not funny, just a chore to get through to see the incredibly silly monster at the end.

NIGHT PATROL wasn't that good, but I thought it was memorably bad in a "I can't believe Jackie Kong actually thought we'd laugh at that stupid gag" way.  Plus, it has Billy Barty farting, that's worth a half star alone.

IT'S PAT! (1994) is a notoriously bad comedy.

I've seen it, and it richly deserves that reputation.



BONUS!

Here's a even more disturbing poster:

Talladega Nights and Bewitched.

It is very rare I turn a movie off because it sucks so bad - this one was I could not finish and actually threw it away to try and save others.
