Bring 'em on.. my recommendation is anything with Eddie Murphy. Since it is winter, I got nothing better to do than play C3C, eat chocolate and watch movies.
 
Clerks
Karma
Python's Meaning of Life
" Holy Grail
" Life of Brian
Blazing Saddles
History of the World Part I
Young Frankenstein
 
Almost forgot "Running Scared"
 
Adam Sandler's Movies

Big Daddy
Anger Management
 
Oh my. I thought the thread title had something to do with the junior senator from New York.
 
Old School Eddie Murphy maybe...

Coming to America

Watch Kevin Smith movies in order:
Clerks
Mallrats
Chasing Amy
Dogma
Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back

Office Space
Friday
South Park
Empire Records
Liar Liar
Monty Python & the Holy Grail
The Gods must be Crazy
EdTV
Blue Collar Comedy Tour

Not many funny videos anymore...:((
 
Monthy Python, simply the best comedy ever.
Also, the simpsons got their moments, and I found finding nemo pretty funny too.
 
history of the world part I and young Frankenstein are great movies. I also like robin hood men in tights

office space is good
 
I've really spent a great time watching "Love Actually"... maybe that movie sounds too "girly" but I felt really happy after I've seen it. :)
 
I think Mel Brooks is pretty overrated. Get Smart was classic, so is Young Frankenstein, but the rest of it is mostly bad toilet humor.
 
"Blazing Saddles" was mostly hilarious. The scene around the campfire, I could have done without. And the cop-out ending was an embarrassment to watch. Around the same time, Monty Python made the spectacularly funny "Quest for the Holy Grail", and then ruined it with a similar cop-out ending.

But right up until the endings, both movies are great, though I would say "Holy Grail" was funnier in general.

I like most of what Monty Python did (though they did go too far sometimes), and a good deal of what Mel Brooks does (though he goes too far quite a bit).

Eddie Murphy used to be pretty good. "Coming to America" is a riot.

Steve Martin is always worth watching. I might even end up seeing "Cheaper By the Dozen", even though the wretched Ashton Kutcher has a major role in it, because it has Steve Martin. He can make even a bad movie watchable.

I would say anything with Jim Carrey is to be avoided. He's not an actor; he's a clown. And he knows it, too. He's always so desparate for a laugh that even when his antics are funny--and they often are--I still don't like him. I admit I have laughed during his movies. But it was the same kind of laughter you give to a jester. He's too needy about his comedy. Whereas with an honest, understated comedic actor like Steve Martin or Leslie Nielsen, even when I'm not laughing, I still like them. Now, I've seen Carrey in dramatic roles, and I saw "Once Bitten", a comedy he made before anyone knew who he was. I know there is a spark of talent there. He's not a complete talentless imbecile like, say, Pauly Shore. But he's gotten so huge--and wealthy!--acting like an imbecile that there's no incentive for him to develop his talent and rise above clown status. So I doubt he ever will. I hope he does. I would love to see him play a role honestly for once. He even sort of came close in "Man on the Moon", but unfortunately, I give him lower marks for that one because he was playing the role of a comedian that I loathe anyway. But I'm still not holding my breath.
