Sgt Wayne Wood Any of these lists are subjective. I would subjectively say the author of this article sucks. They put Zoolander (which I tried to watch, but was so bad I had to turn it off) on the list, but skipped Tropic Thunder? They put Pulp Fiction on this list (I think it is a great movie, but would not call it a comedy). I would have had both MASH and Blazing saddles in the top ten. The answer to how this list could be so far off the mark comes in the blurb after the list. It was written by critics. I find that if a movie critic got it right, it was a fluke. That is across all genres. I will give my top ten, subjectively of course.

10) Trading Places
09) Paul
08) Life of Brian
07) Airplane
06) History of the World Part I
05) Major Payne
04) Animal House
03) Police Academy
02) Monty Python and the Holy Grail
01) Blazing Saddles

Surprised "A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Forum" was missing... also note that "The Producers" was the original.

Sgt Wayne Wood - "The Producers" (original) is another that always gets me. Mel Brooks has a way of pushing my laugh buttons.
Didn't notice any Three Stooges contributions either. Shorts don't count?

CW3 Harvey K. Mel Brooks is great. Even his misses (Dracula Dead and Loving it) are better than some people's best work.

Elevate me!
Now? Right here?

You shifty N****r they said you was hung!
And they was right.

Simple one liners like that are what make him great. (sorry couldn't find a video for the Yong Frankenstein quote).

There are too many comedies that should rate higher on the list. Having spent 3 years there, I know the britts have a slightly different sense of humor, but that list looks really wrong.
