What are you talking about, TC?

Ghostbusters: Answer The Call was the funniest movie of all time. And everyone in it was so brave and fierce on top of it!

I never understood the appeal of Hot Fuzz. It had a handful of funny scenes but overall it was just... nothing. Most of the time I felt like I was supposed to laugh, I didn't. Most of the time I felt like I was supposed to be scared, I wasn't (and honestly couldn't tell if it was actually supposed to be scary because it was neither scary nor "so not scary that it's funny").

That's pretty much how I feel about all the other movies on the list.

It was supposed to be funny, not scary. Most of the the humor comes from them acting so seriously while doing silly things. Part of it is from the way that its edited. And part of it is from the dialogue. Different people like different stuff. This might help you understand why its funny a little better

Comedy movies actually became good again in 2007 after an awful, awful stretch of movies from 1997-2006 where Adam Sandler slapstick was the thing. Worst period for comedy movies I can ever remember.

Yeah, a tennis one where he goes up against Jon Snow and then one about cycling in the 80s with steroid abuse and John Cena is in it. 7 Days in Hell and Tour de Pharmacy.

I want to check this one out. Hot Rod was under the radar. I had no desire when it came out. Then I watched it randomly one day and wondered where then hell I had been.

"You look pretty."
"Sorry?"
"I said you look shitty! Goodnight Denise!"


Cool beans.

@BlueBoy675 yeah, it's made by them. I think I wasn't laughing maybe 20 minutes of the entire run time.
The humor isn't for everyone, but it was for me. Plus, the songs they wrote were incredible.
