From groundbreaking television to hilarious hosting gigs, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler ensure this club of comedy no longer belongs exclusively to the boys. Becoming friends in the early 90s, the witty duo became the first female co-anchors of the Weekend Update segment on Saturday Night Live, a success that dovetailed into now-famous skits and cult fa...
Granted, their real names are Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith, but this entry wouldn’t be the same without identifying them by their onscreen alter egos. The brainchild of writer/director Smith, these loitering legends first appeared in cult classic Clerks (1994) before taking off on a whole other level of stardom with appearances in Mallrats (1996) an...
There’s just something different about Seth Rogen and James Franco. Ever since their tenure on the cult favorite TV series Freaks & Geeks, the duo have cultivated a reputation as the raucous party boys of Hollywood; a banner that’s coasted them through spirited comedy and viral videos alike. Though this match made in pothead paradise were always in...
Changing things up with the song-and-dance men of Hollywood, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby were sophistication embodied. Close friends on and offscreen, it was a chance encounter with Paramount’s rejected script Road To Singapore (1940) that made the duo box office royalty for the next decade.

As founding members of the Frat Pack, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson sport a weirdness that just works.

Fortunately for everyone involved, Stiller and Wilso...
A moment of silence for the men who forever made “Shake-N-Bake” a verbal celebration. Will Ferrell, the emperor of idiocy, and John C. Reilly, the Swiss Army Knife of actors, have come together on several occasions to construct comedy that's both utterly illogical and relatable for anyone who was ever a dumb teenager. The opening scenes of Talladeg...
These guys were wild. Few comedy teams could be as amped on both ends as Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor, fellas who constantly seemed as if they were on the edge of a nervous breakdown. Wilder, a Mel Brooks veteran, knew how to work his curly haired insanity to a tea, while Pryor, a standup legend (and a key creative force in the Brooks-directed, Wi...
Journeying abroad for a little U.K. exposure, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost earn their marks as an charming combo of clever humor. Initially coming together for Shaun of the Deadin 2004, the parameters of what made Pegg and Frost such a riveting duo were laid out immediately. Frost, the scruffy slacker with no worries and even less responsibility, was ...
Bromance, though tough to say with a straight face, is the only word that truly captures the Jonah Hill/Channing Tatum experience. Polar opposites in physical force, this David and Goliath duo were seen by many as odd selections when it came time to reboot 21 Jump Street (2012) for a touted summer release. After all, Tatum was a rom-com specialist ...
