          They say "laugh per minute". I find that I muster a half-hearted chuckle during most "funny" movies.

            Young Frankenstein[^] didn't even make the list, so its veracity is suspect.

              Superbad is hilarious, so is Anchorman. Maybe you're the problem?

                Any list without Blazing Saddles is just WRONG. Airplane --funny, but not #1 funny Hangover -- not funny at all. Too predictive. Naked Gun -- have not seen it so many years, cannot comment Superbad -- Can you say, "eh?" Meh. Borat -- other than Madagascar movies, I think Sacha B. is an idiot. Not funny at all. Anchorman--okay, this is one that I do think is really funny and quote lines from it like "Well that escalated quickly," or talking about a trident. Top 10? Top 20 for sure, but not Top 10. American Pie--*yawn* how many sequals can we draw out of this lame movie? Bridesmaids: I'm still mad that the one girl stole my style of wearing a ponytail and a newsboy hat. I've had people comment on it and I scream back that I've had this style since 2002. Now growing my fedora collection. Shaun of the Dead--pretty funny. Again, Top 20, but not Top 10. Life of Brian--Holy Grail way funnier. TO OLD CP FRIENDS OF MINE--please read my sig.

                Yeah, yeah...I am in the process of leaving a possesive, paranoid husband who overly checks EVERY THING I TYPE ON THE INTERNET. I will rekindle my blog, if nothing else, just to piss him off.

                        How Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein aren't on the list is pretty odd. Another one is The Man Who Knew Too Little. I know it has Bill Murray in it and he's not exactly loved by everyone, but that movie supplies plenty of gags and laughs. After all, we're all actors in the theatre of life. :)

                            I look at this list, and see no Mel Brooks and only one Monty Python, and 60% of the list is utter garbage. Then again, Airplane is number one... I am very suspicious of this list.

                                The humour's too facile, so it's funny the first time you watch it, but feels too predictable on subsequent viewings. The really (clever) funny stuff makes you laugh many times, so I'd argue that they used the wrong metrics -- it shouldn't be "How many facile gags are there per minute?", it should be "How funny is it?" Try watching a Cary Grant comedy for the 50th time; it'll still make you laugh.

                                Fawlty towers, anyone?

                                  Superbad is hilarious, so is Anchorman. Maybe you're the problem?

                                      I am also thinking they have some strange definition of 'Laugh'.

                                      Nah, they just have to use "laugh" because they're not allowed to say "snigger" anymore.
