This is the film that put Edgar Wright on the map. From the outside, ‘Shaun of the Dead’ might seem like a normal low-budget zombie film, but once you start watching, you will find that it is filled with clever jokes, excellent editing, and even a very powerful, heartfelt core. This is clever humor snatched from the confines of a genre case.
‘Hot Fuzz’ is another Edgar Wright flick. Coming from the success of ‘Shaun of the Dead,’ Wright went in a different direction with Hot Fuzz, creating a buddy cop film with hilarious scenes and jokes still remembered by the fan base. There’s also plenty of action, so you’re in for a treat. The cast includes legendary actors such as Timothy Dalton, ...
A modern classic. ‘Superbad’ is one of the funniest movies ever, taking the concept of a bunch of teens looking to party to the next level. It gave us tons of memes we keep using today, and it had one of the first important roles for Jonah Hill and Emma Stone, who would end up becoming superstars on all levels, winning tons of awards. Also, this mo...
Will Ferrell gave us some hilarious movies during the 2000s, but there is no better movie from him than the spectacular ‘Anchorman.’ A satirical film directed by Adam McKay, who would later become an awards darling with films like ‘The Big Short’ and ‘Vice.’ ‘Anchorman’ manages to be funny every single second of its running time, and just for that,...
Zombieland was another movie that took the zombie genre and twisted it into something funny instead of scary. But unlike ‘Shaun of the Dead,’ which is the peak of British humor, ‘Zombieland’ goes the way of the cowboy and gives us a great comedy set in America. Woody Harrelson is electric, and Emma Stone is just as good as ever. The opening sequenc...
Ben Stiller is another one of those directors that were on fire during this decade, delivering tons of great comedy movies, one after the other. ‘Tropic Thunder’ has it all: it’s a war film with plenty of gore, and it stars Robert Downey Jr. in blackface and gets away with it. It has Matthew McConaughey as the best agent an actor could want, and it...
This is one of the weird ones, and it makes sense because this is the creation of the Cohen Brothers, a pair of directors that have always been unique in everything, including their humor. The plot of ‘Burn After Reading’ is a mystery, no one knows what is happening. That is the point of the film, the absurd and crazy stuff that happens in life jus...
There is a before and after to ‘The Hangover.’ The crazy comedy put all its stars on the map, and it was one of the most successful comedies ever at the box office. Todd Philips, now better known for Joker, directs with grace and energy. Every single situation is hilarious, and the movie is in itself a great mystery. There is also a live tiger wrea...
This one is a different class of comedy. ‘Kiss Kiss Bang Bang’ is the brainchild of Shane Black, who uses sharp dialogue and a lot of black humor to create a powerful story of love, mystery, and tons of laughs. The film also ignited the career of Robert Downey Jr. back on the road, and it allowed Val Kilmer to do a fantastic comedic role, of the ki...
Steve Carell is now an international superstar thanks to ‘The Office’ and his many award-winning films, but once he was mostly unknown. ‘The 40-Year-Old Virgin’ is an earnest and lovable film that talks about being comfortable with yourself and how that kind of confidence is the sexiest of them all. There are, of course, tons of funny situations th...

- Superbad (2007) McLovin would be technically 41 years of age now if he was, for some unknown reason, still using his Hawaii driving license. Superbad is a comical classic, a film that has come to the rescue in many an awkward social situation, which is rather ironic given the painfully awkward nature of some of the film’s funniest moments.

- Borat (2006) “Wa Wa We Wa” is a phrase written into 2000s heritage. Sacha Baron Cohen has the unique power of being able to unify a nation through their mutual feelings of utter detestation towards him, having made the world laugh at Kazakhstan’s expense, a country Cohen was subsequently banned from.
