[Music]
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
comedy movies
you forgot were awesome hey you got your
head on right
and you don't do underwear the hell are
you doing with numbnuts here
dylan hey oh all right well fair
question
you're the kid with the cool sneakers
yeah
so what's wrong with you you want to
play hardball i can do that where
is the girl what
did you just do for this list we're
looking at comedies that were
overshadowed during their original
release
but are hilarious in hindsight we're
excluding movies that can be considered
comedy dramas
to focus on pure comedies which of these
do you think was awesome
let us know in the comments we'll now
take a trip down the memory lane
of comedic awesomeness
number 10 pop star never stop
never stopping this mockumentary follows
connor
an immature musician who lets his
popularity get to his head
i'm not gay but if i was i would want
equal rights
after betraying his partners conor
learns that remaining famous
takes a lot more work than he thought in
order to retain his relevance
he stoops to outlandish means of
publicity you know it's out of control
when wolves are attacking seal
don't worry i've been in this situation
before i think i got disguised the film
is notable for starring many performers
from saturday night live
and often resembles an extended sketch
that doesn't hold back in its gross out
humor
despite this there are also enough
heartwarming moments here to make
viewers
fully invested in the story
number nine the man with two brains
for many steve martin is the ultimate
family man thanks to popular films like
father of the bride
however he plays very much against the
type here
and a film that revels in zany humor boy
would i like to jump on those bones
rebecca
i can't help comparing her to you she
has a behind so
sexy you'd like to eat lunch off it
featuring an unlikable but
hilarious protagonist the story depicts
dr michael heffer
and his love for the brain of a recently
deceased woman
who are you dr michael
dr
[Music]
what you're the first
object that ever pronounced it right
after learning of a technique to
transfer her brain into the body of
another person
michael tries to bring his new love back
to life while getting rid of his gold
digger wife
the plot is as wonderfully silly as it
sounds
but that's where the hilarity comes from
with steve martin at his best
this oddball comedy and its slapstick
jokes have stood the test of time
merv griffin yeah
why i don't know i've always just loved
to kill
i really enjoyed it number eight mystery
men
superhero film tropes have become
commonplace
but mystery men parodied this aspect
before it was cool
you might just as well shovel it in
featuring a star cast of comedic actors
the film spoofs elements of the
superhero genre to ridiculous levels
the story features down and out
characters with questionable powers
expanding their team to rescue the
charismatic but arrogant captain amazing
pms avenger i only work four days a
month
is there a problem with that no no no no
whatever you say
as expected these goopballs have more
than their fair share of hijinks
all dialed up to the highest level of
absurdity
[Music]
however mystery men does carry a theme
of self-worth
at its heart with each character rising
to the occasion
and becoming a true hero in their own
right i think
we would all like this victory to go out
to all the other guys and i'm talking
about the people in this city who are
super good at their jobs but never get
any credit
like the lady in the dmv that's a rough
job with superhero movies so popular
it's worth indulging in mystery men's
satirical humor
even more number seven ace ventura when
nature calls
the insanity of ace ventura is too much
to contain in just one film
this sequel goes all in on ace's love
for the wild
placing him right in the heart of the
jungle
this time around ace is recruited to
find the missing great white bat
of the fictional country of nibia
basking in the glory of its
over-the-top comedy the film never tries
to take itself
seriously jim carrey is let loose to
display his full talent for physical
comedy aceventura pet detective
and you must be the monopoly guy
hey thanks for the free parking
while the first movie is well known for
its originality the sequel deserves
praise for delivering a fresh take on
this spectacularly goofy character
don't start what
number six get him to the greek the
follow-up to forgetting sarah marshall
might not have been as commercially
successful but it does craft its own
comedic niche
in the film rockstar aldous snow must be
brought to the greek theater by hapless
talent scout aaron green
i want you to go to london and pick them
up then i want you to take them to new
york to the today show
make the announcement about the concert
then bring them back here for the show
at the greek
unfamiliar with the partying that comes
with aldis's celebrity lifestyle
aaron has to jump through ever more
ridiculous hoops to get his job
done thanks to jonah hill and russell
brand's scene stealing chemistry
the movie is able to balance raunchy
humor with character development without
compromising its
jokes
it's an underrated gem with some
incredibly memorable
isn't that scenes
number five they came together if
there's ever been a romantic comedy to
end all rom-coms it would have to be
this one
they came together as a satirical look
into every cheesy tired and formulaic
element found in romance films
you look like you've got a bad day hey
tell me about it
well you came in here looking like crap
and you haven't said very much
you can say that again well you came in
here looking like crap and you haven't
said very much
with an all-star cast made up of cameos
you'll never see coming
the movie makes fun of predictable
tropes in highly unpredictable ways
while it slipped under the radar due to
other high profile projects by the
a-list cast
it's a worthy inclusion in their acting
credits due to the intentionally
wacky performances despite the satirical
approach
they came together features a smart
execution of its comedy
even the times that make us cringe hard
that is a crazy story told ya
it's like a corny romantic comedy it is
there's such a great beginning
why'd you guys decide to get a divorce
number four kiss kiss bang bang who knew
a murder mystery could be this funny
kiss kiss bang bang relies on the
dynamic between robert downey jr and val
kilmer whose characters couldn't be
any more different she looker oh man she
opens the door she got nothing to hunt
with the radio
and invites me to sit down sits on my
lap fires up a splint
really no idiot
as former burglar harry lockhart and
straight laced investigator gay perry
stumbled their way through an
investigation
there are more than a few differences in
opinion look up idiots in the dictionary
you know what you'll find
a picture of me the film also has
neo-noir elements that
combined with its satirical take on the
entertainment industry
shakes up the black comedy genre where
is the girl what
did you just do it's no wonder director
shane black returned with another
team-up movie a decade later
the equally funny the nice guys no
deep breath
if i have an apple number three
something wild
not only does this action comedy bring
something wild
it brings a bit of everything featuring
constant shifts in tone
the film depicts the relationship
between the conventional charlie
and the free-spirited audrey oh don't
god don't drink please this is dangerous
it's dangerous don't do that one god
a chance meeting begins a series of
misadventures turning charlie into a man
of action
the arrival of audrey's unhinged husband
puts a damper on their romance although
his crazy mannerisms are a riot to watch
what a gal grey i mean what a gal she is
she's impulsive and your
imagination that just no no no no i mean
in bed
while there are definitely some dark
moments they're presented with the
film's brand of unconventional humor
due to the many twists in the story
something wild keeps things at a
refreshing pace
all the while building up to its
spectacular finale
it's a worthy change from the usual
rom-com formula
number two election underhanded
political tactics
and electoral intervention have become
very relevant in contemporary culture
this makes election about a student body
presidency run going off the rails
ahead of its time feeling the uptight
overachiever tracy flick
doesn't deserve to win high school
teacher jim mcallister tries to find
ways to discredit tracy's campaign all
the kids look up to you
now what does that spell
tracy's own calculating mind leads to a
clash of nasty schemes from both sides
and be very very grateful that the
entire school
didn't find out about certain
indiscretions that could have ruined
their reputations
and their chances to win certain
elections the film's exploration of the
messy side of politics unfolds
creatively with a perfect brand of
comedic timing
while the characters are far from
likable their neurotic antics and quirky
mannerisms
make for an engaging and hilarious ride
she's doing this to get back at me
for what i mean at you for what

few other reminders of comedies you
