    Wow, this list is pretty full.

    Did anybody mention-

    Robin Hood: Men in Tights

    The Producers

    Made

    Kung Pow (This deserves a 2nd mention, seriously underrated)


    Zoolander(great quotes)

    Maury Ballstein: I've got a prostate the size of a honeydew and a head full of bad memories.

    Mugatu: I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

    Hansel: I wasn't like every other kid, you know, who dreams about being an astronaut, I was always more interested in what bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere's a real hero of mine. Sting. Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that. I care desperately about what I do. Do I know what product I'm selling? No. Do I know what I'm doing today? No. But I'm here, and I'm gonna give it my best shot.

    [After spitting out and spilling some bad coffee all over his assistant]
    Mugatu: Todd! Are you not aware that I get farty and bloated with a foamy latte!?

    Hansel: Who are you tryin' to get crazy with, ese? Don't you know I'm loco?

    Hansel: Listen to your friend Billy Zane, he's a cool dude!

    Derek Zoolander: If there is anything that this horrible tragedy can teach us, it's that a male model's life is a precious, precious commodity. Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.

    Hansel: You can dere-lick my balls cap-i-tan.

    I think Scott was an absolute riot in "Strangelove". Good call.
    Sellers was at the height of his form, however. Genius!

    Hell, Slim Pickens was amazing as well.

    "Blazing Saddles" is the funniest movie ever made, but you have to watch it uncut on cable TV or rent the video. The way commercial TV stations chop out all of the best scenes in that movie makes me ill.

    You are not alone. Easily my favorite comedy, and possibly my favorite movie.

    Philadelphia Story with Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart & Katherine Hepburn is a classic also.

    As far as recent movies go, Super Troopers vastly exceeded my expectations (which were low to the point of non-existence).

    "Sorry about the de-lousing."
    "It's powdered sugar."
    "The lice hate the sug..."
    "It's delicious."

    "Are you saying 'Meow'?"
    "Am I saying 'Meow'? Do I look like a cat to you? Do you see me jumpin' around all nimbly bimbly from tree to tree? Do I lick milk from a saucer? DO YOU SEE ME EATING MICE?!

    There's something about Mary. I've never laughed so hard for a sustained period in my life. It hurt so good.

    Not another teen movie.

    The opening seen with the vibrator had me crying. That has to be one of the funniest scenes ever

    South park UNCUT
    the part with sadaam and Satan in bed was funny as "hell"

    Another movie I forgot to mention that I didn't see anybody mention yet was "The Ref" with Dennis Leary and Kevin Spacey. That is one of my all-time favorite comedies.

    No. I don't think anyone mentioned Swingers either. How is that possible?

    I have to agree. :) The movie is pretty... ummm, lowbrow, but entertaining. Sometimes we just want something to laugh about.

    Another one - how could I forget -

    Beavis and Butt-head Do America

    Can't forget Johnny Dangerously

    Roman Moroni: Why you miserable cork-sucker!

    Roman Moroni: This is fargin war!

    Johnny Dangerously: That man should be arrested for butchering the English language.

    Danny Vermin: I got something to stop him.
    Dutch: They made it for him special. It's an eighty-eight Magnum.
    Danny Vermin: It shoots through schools.

    Danny Vermin: I enjoy collecting protection money, putting whores to work, loan-sharking. I enjoy planting bombs in people's cars. These are a few of my favorite things.

    Oh yes, what a unbelievable funny movie. So many great pointes
    in it. Especially love the one when Woody comes back from milking the cows and tells the amish farmer what hell of a work he had to get the milk out. Then gets informed that they do not have an cows, just bulls. Priceless.

    Lots of great ones there, but I have to go with The Big Lebowski as my favorite.
