Bewitched by far, man it felt the movie was never going to end. one time during watching it i looked over at the clock and saw the movie had only been on for 35 minutes when it felt like hours.    :gouge:

Night Patrol? Isn't that the one where Henry Winkler was desperately trying to translate his sitcom success into a movie career?

No, this is the one with...wait for it..............Linda Blair as the acting lead.  And it is not the actor that plays the Unknown Comic that was in it...it was the charactor, paper bag and all patroling the streets as a cop.

Actually, the Unknown Comic (aka Murray Langston) goes sans bag in Night Patrol, at least while performing his law enforcement duties.  He dons his famous lunch sack only while moonlighting as a stand-up comic.

I personally enjoy Night Patrol.  It sets out to be juvenile, filthy, and absurd, and I believe it achieves that goal admirably.  Suffice it to say, if you're the sort of discerning viewer who thinks that hearing Billy Barty fart never gets old, you'll probably enjoy this movie.

It's also almost certainly the only film ever to feature Pat Morita dressed in a sari and recounting a harrowing tale of forced masturbation in the voice of a nine year old girl.  That's got to be good for something.

Many things to say...

1) I love "Dracula Dead and Loving it"! It was pretty damned good in my opinion
2) Someone else remembers "God, the Devil, and Bob"? Sweet.
3) I am so frigging tired of Dane Cook. He's not that funny. He has good moments, yes, but he kills them by being so "random" and "weird". His jokes are just rambling...but Jim Gaffigan is freaking hilarious. I love his stuff. Good to see there are more fans of his.

For the longest time, I had Houseguest as the worst movie I'd ever seen.  The movie is just on fast forward the whole time and Sinbad somehow bonds with the entire family when he just comes off as a McDonald's loving Fart-Knocker.  And how about that McDonald's tie-in, just about as obvious as the one for Bye Bye Love. 

I know there are worse comedies, but this one just left a bad taste in my mouth.

Personally, I like Rodney Dangerfield's stand-up better than his movies. Except maybe Easy Money.

I think Lady Bugs was easily the worst.

Anything with Sinbad in it automatically grates on me. 


And on the topic of great comedy.   I got to show Blazing Saddles to my fiance and her 2 younger brothers last night.  None of them had seen it and I love seeing the reactions of a newbie with that movie.  Awesome.

Mel Brooks is kind of a 'flood or drought.' He has made some of the funniest comedies ever (Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein) and some of the worst (Life Stinks.*no this movie stinks!*) Rarely has he made a middle of the road movie. History of the World Part 1 maybe... It has it's moments and I have always liked it but it didn't age well.

My vote for worst comedy, well at least most overrated comedy is The 40 Year Old Virgin. I like Steve Carrell, I think he's funny. But I just didn't get this movie. I also didn't get Napoleon Dynamite either though. Maybe I'm getting old.
Grapes? I hate grapes, I can't stand grapes. I loathe grapes. All kinds of grapes. I hate green grapes and I hate purple grapes. I hate grapes with seeds, I hate grapes without seeds. I hate them peeled and nonpeeled. I hate them in bunches, one at a time and in small groups of twos and threes.

'Robin Hood: Men in Tights' is pretty bad, as well as 'Mr. Magoo'.

I know some will disagree with me, but I'd have to say that Dodgeball had to be one of the worst comedies I've ever seen. I only chuckled once or twice. But the rest of the humor was just so dumb, juvinile, and not funny. Especially when they had to wear goth costumes to their first game which I found more disturbing than funny.

I liked Napolean Dynamite. I didn't laugh as much as my friends said they did ( possibly because I heard all of the jokes a million times before seeing it ), but I still thought it was a good little movie. At least it doesn't go into crude, intelligence insulting humor like Dodgeball had.
I am Ambassador Phantom, from the planet Krankor! I am rapidly approaching your planet... in the warship, which you have just seen. I will arrive tomorrow night at precisely eight o'clock. At that time I shall make my wishes known to you. You will obey them... or die! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

I Vehemently Disagree!!!!!

I absolutely love Dodgeball; I find that it is one of those movies I can watch again and again and still laugh my butt off! C'mon, man! Steve the Pirate! White Goodman! Justin! Patches O'Houlihan! Rip Torn! ESPN 8, THE OCHO!!! PEPPER BROOKS!!!!!!!!!!!

Classic!!

Anyone see this one?

This iRiff will only be on sale for another few hours. Get it while it's cheap!

I gotta agree with Krankor on Dodgeball. Of course, Kodiak mentioned some funny stuff (mostly "The Ocho!"), but I remember seeing this and being very disappointed...and glad I didn't spend money.
I've got another suggestion though...."The Stupids". Even as a kid I thought it was severely unfunny.

Last time the DFT ran The Producers they showed that before it, Brooks was an excellent comedy writer, not sure he still is though.

Yeah, but if we could go back in time and get young Mel, he'd be a hell of a riffer.  I'd give them the boring Canadian short films that use to pop up all the time on Teletoon.
