Been enjoying throwing on mindless comedies lately so I'd like some recommendations of comedy flicks over the last couple of years that are good from you guys.

Well, I was going to say Sons of the Desert, but he only wants junk from the "last couple years."

Mindless comedies that I can absolutely watch over and over (and they still crack me up):
40-Year Old Virgin
Role Models
Step Brothers

Other good mindless ones that made me laugh:
Get Him to the Greek
The Hangover
The Other Guys
Walk Hard
Bridesmaids
Cop Out (surprisingly entertaining)

This is from all way back in the dark ages of 1997, but I just saw it on the independent film channel, and I think it's the kind of film you would enjoy, Elvis:

Twin Town
It's a Welsh film about twin brothers who are misfits & violent.

Hot Rod
It's the guys from the Lonely Island and it is total shit.
Hilarious though. I was stoned at the time so I didn't mind the brainlessness and was creasing laughing throughout!

I paid real money to watch that film in the theatre 6 times in 7 days. You really need to be familiar with American detective movies from the 30s & 40s to get it though.

Thanks for the recs guys I've seen most of those but will check out the ones I haven't.
Haha figured I'd get shit for wanting stuff in the last few years but I'm just on that kick at the moment after watching mainly older flicks 90% of the time.

Love that one. Saw it about 10 times when it first came out. Shame it got eclipsed by Trainspotting's success and a lot of people missed out on it because it's brilliant and packed with some dark humour.

Agreed.
Murder By Death, however, was fantastic...

Hot Tub Time Machine was entertaining.

I watched Hall Pass recently and found it hilarious.
One of my favourites is Haunted Honeymoon.
How about Waking Ned?
I laughed a lot at Jackass 3D.
Rushmore & Groundhog Day for the Murray fan.
Life of Brian & Jabberwocky for Pythonians.
Finally, Blazing Saddles & Some Like It Hot
I know they aren't exactly what you asked for, and you've probably seen them anyway, but laughter's laughter.

Raw Force (a.k.a. The Kung Fu Cannibals). My friend, John Locke, played one of the American martial-arts guys in the film. If you can get through the slow first ten minutes you'll laugh, non-stop, for the next eighty.
Three Americans set out to save pacific island strippers from cannibalistic monks.
It's so bad it's great! Rated #49, i think, on the top 50 worst films of all-time. You may have to order it online. Hard to say.

"Four Rooms"with Tim Roth, Madonna, Antonio Banderas, Bruce Willis and others...a crazy and weird comedy with emphasis on the crazy and weird. I enjoyed it quite a bit!
Elvis_Christ
06-26-2011, 02:47 PM
Four Rooms is great. It's one of the Tarantino flicks that gets overlooked. His segment is brilliant and proves he doesn't need to wank on for 2+ hours to make an effective film.
Sistinas666
06-26-2011, 03:23 PM
My favorite segment in Four Rooms has to be The Misbehavers. That part makes me giggle no matter how many times I watch it. All 4 segments were well done, IMO. My only complaint is the electrical tape thats strategically placed on Alicia Witt in The Missing Ingredient segment...lol;)
Definately one of my favorite comedies!

Some recommendations I would suggest(sorry if someone already has, I missed it):
Leaves of Grass (Great Edward Norton flick)
Evil Alien Conquerors (mindless stoner comedy)
The Wendell Baker Story (fun flick starring Luke Wilson)
Haggard (but I'm sure you've already seen it)
Bottle Rocket (Owen and Luke)
Wieners (don't ask me why but I found this hilarious*)
Sex Drive (*see Wieners)
Dirty Love (Jenny McCarthy is hilarious)
And of course for a good laugh watch Zombiegeddon........lol:cool:
