    Your decade is one-and-a-half times too long; I think us late X-ers are finally in mid-life denial. I think hearing Ace Ventura, Dumb and Dumber and Sandler references every three seconds in college killed me off of comedies by '98 or so. Meet the Parents was funny enough but it morphed into Jackass for middle-aged people and I think gave that whole Farrelly Brothers sub-genre some new legs. And I swear to god Wedding Crashers is the plot of some old beer commercial from the early '90s.

    Office Space and Super Troopers didn't make your list and Ace Ventura/Harold and Kumar did. I'm leaving this thread and not coming back.

    I thought Talladega Nights is an underrated comedy of recent time.

    Classic but they came out in the 80s bro.


    I didn't get into Apatow until Knocked up, good list/ Beavis and Butthead movie was funny. Shaun dead was a classic film but I'm not sure if it was belly laughed out loud for me.

    I can't believe a CMD-F (yes, Mac!) for "Hangover" yielded 0 results.

    I will go to my grave saying MacGruber was a very funny movie. I ranked it one my my favorite movies the year it came out.
