1. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

A cult classic by Monty Python, this absurd medieval parody follows King Arthur and his knights on a ridiculous quest for the Holy Grail. With unforgettable scenes like the Black Knight ("It’s just a flesh wound!") and the killer rabbit, this film remains one of the funniest ever made.

2. Airplane! (1980)

A masterclass in slapstick and parody, Airplane! spoofs disaster films with rapid-fire jokes, ridiculous visual gags, and Leslie Nielsen’s deadpan humor. Lines like "Surely you can’t be serious?" – "I am serious… and don’t call me Shirley" are timeless.

3. The Hangover (2009)

A modern comedy classic, The Hangover follows a group of friends who wake up after a wild bachelor party in Vegas with no memory of the night—and a missing groom. With unforgettable performances by Zach Galifianakis and Ken Jeong, this film redefined raunchy comedies.

4. Superbad (2007)

Written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, Superbad is a coming-of-age comedy about two high school friends trying to score alcohol for a party. Jonah Hill and Michael Cera’s chemistry, along with McLovin’s copyright saga, makes this a must-watch.

5. Groundhog Day (1993)

Bill Murray stars as a grumpy weatherman stuck reliving the same day repeatedly in this clever and heartwarming comedy. The film’s mix of humor and existential themes makes it a standout.

6. Bridesmaids (2011)

One of the best female-led comedies, Bridesmaids stars Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy in a hilarious take on wedding chaos. From the infamous dress-fitting scene to the airplane meltdown, this movie is laugh-out-loud funny.

7. Dumb and Dumber (1994)

Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels play two dim-witted friends on a cross-country trip in this absurdly funny film. With quotable lines ("So you're telling me there's a chance?") and outrageous humor, it’s a '90s comedy gem.

8. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)

Will Ferrell’s iconic performance as clueless news anchor Ron Burgundy is comedy gold. The absurd one-liners ("I love lamp.") and the legendary news team brawl make this a quotable favorite.

9. Office Space (1999)

A satirical take on corporate life, Office Space follows disgruntled office workers rebelling against their soul-crushing jobs. The "printer smash" scene and "Damn it feels good to be a gangsta" montage are legendary.

10. Borat (2006)

Sacha Baron Cohen’s mockumentary-style comedy follows Kazakh journalist Borat on a chaotic trip across America. The outrageous humor and unsuspecting real-life interactions make this one of the boldest comedies ever.

11. Step Brothers (2008)

Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly play immature middle-aged stepbrothers in this ridiculous yet hilarious film. The bunk bed collapse and "Did we just become best friends?" scene are comedy gold.

12. The Big Lebowski (1998)

The Coen Brothers’ cult classic stars Jeff Bridges as "The Dude," a laid-back slacker caught in a bizarre kidnapping plot. With quirky characters and iconic lines ("The Dude abides"), this stoner comedy is endlessly quotable.
