For real? Anything from the Zucker/Abrahams trio is gold - I'm surprised that people who liked Airplane, Naked Gun, etc. wouldn't know that one.
P.S. Found it. :D

Superbad, Smiley Face, and Grandma's Boy are three recent movies that are absolutely hilarious.
:haha:

any movies with Rowan Atkinson are still solid, including all Mr. Bean series, Blackadder too:)

I disagree. I really enjoyed the comedies mentioned (Superbad, Knocked Up) along with other recent favourites (Old School, Wedding Crashers etc).
My all time favourite is still National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation though. Honorable mention goes out to Breakfast Club, Ace Ventura, Office Space, Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, Clerks & Mallrats.

Every generation has its comedies and style of comedies due to whoever at the time is creating the funniest, edgiest, clever humour. Judd Apatow is the new humour guy in Hollywood, much like The Farrelly Brothers or Sandler productions back in the mid 90's, John Hughes who has been doing stuff since the 80's, Mel Brooks or the Monty Python series back before that in the 70's. When I hear people complain about recent comedies compared to the old days, it reminds me of my parents who complain about the music I listen...who dont understand it or just perfer what they watched/listened to in their young haydays.
I mean, yeah Dumb and Dumber was great, but look at what the Farrelly Brothers have made since...and tell me theyre still making better comedies than Superbad or Knocked Up, or even 40 Year Old Virgin (all of which are Judd Apatow productions).

From personal experience, I've learned that any comedy advertised with red, bold lettering on a white background showing a character with a kooky face expression is utter garbage.
P.S. Anyone know why they do that? Why do ALL the comedy movie posters look like clones of each other? At least change the font color to blue or something.

the quality of *most* (keyword here) Hollywood movies has been declining since the 1990s. So called "blockbusters" are usually crap and comedies that are supposed to be funny are usually just raunchy.
Superbad was funny in parts, but essentially it was the next generation of American Pie, which was the next generation of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, etc, etc.
Most of the movies I own are from the 70s and 80s so I guess that says a lot about my tastes. I can't remember the last DVD I purchased actually.

I'm quite disappointed with the quality of comedy movies these days too.
Just watched Good Luck Chuck, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, and Superbad, and all 3 were terrible in my opinion.
