Fox News?

Do INTJs laugh? I usually don't laugh very hard at anything meant to be funny. Merely mild amusement, a little smile, or slight chuckle.

Last time I remember laughing hysterically was watching Dumb and Dumberer while high so...

Everything if you're high?

'Young Frankenstein'. at least in my top 10, but then cartoons are in my top 10.

i dint get into Seinfeld until the reruns...then it made me laugh with how ordinary it was.

I love Curb Your Enthusiasm!

I just finished watching series 7 today and thought it was brilliant.

I have watch series 3-4 at least 5 times each I love them so much. I thought series 6 was a bit iffy though.

Overall I probably rate it higher than the Office purely because there's so much more, though Office is higher quality-per minute. The reason I use the Office to compare is because as far as I'm concerned they're the best two comedy series ever made.

Films:

Hot Fuzz
Shaun of the Dead
Anchorman
Undercover Brother
The Wicker Man (2006) - Actually, ALL films with Nicolas Cage are funny as hell
The Untouchables - Kevin Costner turned it into a comedy
Star Wars: Episode One
Brassed Off

TV Shows:

Family Guy - I'm a big fan of satire
The Simpsons - mostly the mid to late '90s episodes, especially the ones with Phil Hartman
The Jeremy Kyle Show - he uses logic to kill his guests with words of truth, and it's hilarious
Eating Media Lunch - granted, I haven't seen too much FOTC, but this is my favourite NZ comedy show

Fox News?

Ha, I get a good laugh out of Hannity.

"Fight Club" is hilarious. Even better because it's not jokey, so it's easy to rewatch.

- Strangers With Candy
- Curb Your Enthusiasm
- Flight of the Conchords
- Peep Show

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

M*A*S*H, some of the earlier episodes at least, it gets a bit cynical as the series matures.

The original Wicker Man (1973) is very what-the-hellarious too.

I like this show Eastbound and Down at the moment. The line delivery is brilliant. Will Ferrell as a car dealership owner is fantastic. Words can't describe it.

Filmwise: Love and Death, Clue, Murder by Death, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Anchorman, Airplane, Naked Gun Series, Hot Shots 2, Wet Hot American Summer etc.

Scrubs made me laugh out loud a lot.
Eastbound & Down has some incredibly awesome scenes:

I just saw Death at a Funeral (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) last night, which I laughed hard at. :laugh:

The original Wicker Man (1973) is very what-the-hellarious too.

With its IMDb rating, it's close to being in the Top 250. I'll take your word on it being funny.

Phantasm 2

Reg to Jody: You said I blew up my house because it was infested with...midgets.

Jody: What's out there?
Mike: I don't know. It was little, brown and low to the ground.
Jody: Ahh, it was probably just a gopher in heat.

Stir Crazy Pryor and Wilder are superb in this.

Little Miss Sunshine Alan Arkin is a genius in this.

Intermission is the funniest movie I've ever seen.
My favorite comedic TV show is Arrested Development, with Seinfeld being a close second.

South Park Season 11 - "With Apologies to Jesse Jackson"

Chappelle Show Season 2 - "The Rick James Skit", "World Series of Dice", "The Two Legal Systems", "Mad Real World", pretty much the all of Season 2

Grandma's Boy - Complete gem of a movie that not many know about. Don't watch if you offend easily.

Transformers 2 - Oops, sorry that's better fit for the tearjerkers category.......

Clerks - Still Kevin Smith's best movie.
