Let’s take a look at the top ten of Bravo’s 100 Funniest Movies*, why don’t we:
10. Arthur
9. Blazing Saddles
8. The Wedding Singer
7. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
6. Airplane
5. South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut
4. There’s Something About Mary
3. Shrek
2. Caddyshack
1. Animal House
Seriously? The Wedding Singer and Ace Ventura are funnier than Blazing Saddles? Shrek is # 3?! How about 91-100…
100. Anchorman
99. The Birdcage
98. School of Rock
97. Happy Gilmore
96. Four Weddings and a Funeral
95. Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle
94. Waiting for Guffman
93. The Aristocrats
92. Father of the Bride
91. Revenge of the Nerds
Shrek is funnier than Revenge of the Nerds? Are you kidding me? Ghostbusters and Monty Python & the Holy Grail did not even make the top 25???? Rushmore, the 40 Year Old Virgin, Clerks, Office Space, Annie Hall and Groundhogs Day are less funny than Shrek?! Who at Bravo assembled this list? Because I think my friends and I could help create a much better and definitive list. Call me Bravo. I will assemble a team to make a list that makes sense. And Shrek won’t be # 3.
*The person who compiled the list got the order of the 7th, 8th and 9th films mixed up. I corrected that.

“The Wedding Singer?”
I mean, seriously.
“The Wedding Singer?????”
I saw the movie. I liked it. But was it one of the top ten funniest movies of all time?
No. I’m sorry… but, no.
Maybe the list itself was intended to be funny. Kind of a concept art thing — a “funniest movie” list that makes you laugh out loud.
Either that or the people at Bravo are cinematic illiterates. One or the other.
P.S. Thanks for answering the question about your artistic goals. I look forward to purchasing your first published comic-book.
[...] a super hero list. It was disappointing on a number of levels(shocking…what with their 100 Funniest Movies List). For one thing, they only considered men for the list. They did a separate list for women that was [...]
