Not the funniest I've seen, but Kentucky Fried Movie had me in stiches at the time.

Never seen or heard of it since. So much so, I Googled it before posting in case I had imagined it.

Such a quality film…. I changed my name in my wife’s phone to Big Jim Slade 

 

Need to watch it again!

I think the point that this thread throws up the same few movies again and again proves that films aren’t that funny really.

 

not too many hugely successful comedies

Haven't looked back on this thread so I hope there have been multiple nominations for "Life of Brian" and '"Monty Python and the Holy grail".

“Comedy” films just aren’t funny, they’re the celluloid equivalent of someone claiming to have a good sense of humour - inevitably anything but. 
 

Classics of old, Marx Brothers, Ealing comedies, Peter Sellers and the like can still raise a titter. Some of the Carry Ons and Laurel & Hardy are good value. But I’m pressed to think of anything in the last few decades other than Four Lions other than horror genre flicks that are deeply imbued with a deprecating humour, Cabin in the Woods being a fine example. 
 

Aside from them, Home Alone 1 & 2 were classic slapstick masterpieces.

Thunder Road … not even sure it’s a comedy but it made me laugh and it’s quite brilliant 

[whoareyaaa]

Ace Ventura When Nature calls, Dumb and Dumber and The Mask top 3 for me also Rush Hour

 

I don't think there are any good comedy films in over 10 years
