I've been looking for a cool movie to see as I am bored. I've rewatched Firefly and Serenity a couple times now so I've decided to ask you guys. I'm in a sort of comedy mood so what do you think thhe funniest movie ever is?

Neil Simon's Murder By Death is my favorite. It's a parody of 40's detective books and movies. Peter Falk, Truman Capote, Peter Sellers and Maggie Smith (Mrs. McGonnegal from Harry Potter) star, among others.

comedies are completely dependent upon your mood and with whom you watch it. some are meant for watching in a theatre with lots of other people. generally speaking, comedies are the lowest form of entertainment imo.
silly? top secret/airplane.
or
the gods must be crazy.
a bit more sophisticated?
try withnail and i. or how to get ahead in advertising.
and i did say "a bit" ;)

If forced to name just one it'd be "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".
But some other funny movies we've found worth buying, in no particular order (mind you, some of our purchases were influenced by our having a 7 year old child):
Shrek
The Princess Bride
Pirates of the Caribbean
Ice Age
Chicken Run
Madagascar
Monty Python's Life of Brian
A Fish Called Wanda
Bull Durham
Galaxy Quest
Dark Star
The last two are probably two of the funniest science fiction movies ever made. Well, funniest intentionally, anyway. (Airplane II might give them a run for the money, but I haven't seen it in years and years.)

I would go with Shannara on Withnail and I. British humour at some of its very best. Watch out for the bit where he drinks lighter fluid...
Also Dogma and Clerks, both by the same director (I forget who) and both funny. If slightly wrong at several points.
And I fully commend doctroid's list aswell.

Kevin Smith! The director's name is Kevin Smith!

Cool, I was expecting to get alot of movies I'd already seen but I've only really seen a couple of these. I've heard alot about "The Gods Must Be Crazy" so I think I'll rent it but in the future I'll definitely look at some of these other ones. Also "Super Troopers" and "Club Dread" are both hilarious.

How could everybody forget Caddyshack and Major League. Two of the funniest sports movies ever.

Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein is great. Also, Shaun of the Dead.
I would not reccomend Talledega nights. That was the cinematic equivalent of venerial disease. very unpleasant.

"The people who made the show, and the people who saw the show, which is roughly the same number of people, fell in love with it, a little bit too much to let it go, too much to lay down arms when when the battle looked pretty much lost. In Hollywood, people like that are called unrealistic, quixotic, obsessive... In my world, they're called Browncoats."
