Very Funny Movies

Comedy

The world can be a pretty scary place sometimes, so thank goodness we have funny movies to make us laugh. A number of recent comedy movies have done just that. The last four or five years have given audiences some truly hilarious&nbsp;films that are already on their way to achieving &quot;classic&quot; status. Other recently released comedies&nbsp;may not quite get elevated to that lofty level, but they provide&nbsp;a few&nbsp;hours of escapist entertainment nonetheless. The best new <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/100-all-time-greatest-comedy-films?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">top comedy movies</a> make you forget your problems for a little while at least. They send you away feeling upbeat and happy. Such an experience is always worth the price of a ticket or a rental fee.

Every generation produces its own stars. Modern comedies are driven by immensely talented performers such as Melissa McCarthy, Seth Rogen, Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish, and Amy Schumer, to name just a few. These are the people who are making their mark on cinematic humor in this decade.&nbsp;

Rom-Coms: The Cure for Reality

Romantic Movies

You have to be deeply cynical not to fall under the spell of a really good&nbsp;rom-com. There are a few people out there who are immune to the charms of this genre. The best new romantic comedy films could probably win them over, though. The funniest new rom-coms offer all the things viewers could want -- big stars, huge laughs, and grand finales designed to warm your heart. They make you want to fall in love.&nbsp;

Perhaps what&#39;s most impressive, though, is how diverse recent romantic comedy movies have been. In the &#39;90s and early &#39;00s, most of them tended to look and feel weirdly identical. They generally followed the exact same template. Certain actors appeared in&nbsp;them, time and again, with Sandra Bullock, Kate Hudson,&nbsp;Reese Witherspoon, and Matthew McConaughey all seeing their careers&nbsp;rise because of big hits within the genre. Once-fresh ideas, such as the race to the airport to declare love before someone hops&nbsp;on a plane, became tiresome cliches of funny romance movies. Current romantic comedy movies have opted to avoid such conventions, finding funny new ways to tell their stories.

Even if you’re not exactly up on the latest season of Saturday Night Live, chances are you’ve heard at least a couple of SNL stories. You never know what you’re going to get when you mix comedians, drugs, egomania, alcohol, huge stars, and live TV. Sometimes Prince shows up at your after party, sometimes somebody gets stabbed, and sometimes Chevy Chase happens.&nbsp;&nbsp;There are two types of backstage SNL stories: the ones everyone knows and the ones we’re just hearing about because everyone is either dead, over it, or the statutes of limitations have run out. Unless your Internet was down in early 2016, you couldn’t miss Kanye’s epic backstage rant where he compared himself to Stanley Kubrick, Picasso, and the Apostle Paul. But there are some hidden Saturday Night Live stories you must learn about because they are juicy, strange, and in some cases disturbing.&nbsp;Let’s delve into the secrets, scandals, feuds, and tea spilling of the SNL cast old and new and see what’s rattling around in the closet over at Studio 8H.

These are the best dramedies of all time - but what exactly is a dramedy? Some shows are clearly dramas or sitcoms. Clearly. Because those are two genres that exist. Everyone agrees that they exist. Others are dramas with just enough quirkiness or funny time laugh jokes to categorize them as a &quot;dramedy&quot; - a creative combination of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/list-of-all-comedy-drama-movies/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">drama and comedy</a> that just works. It just does. Because we are humans and we like to laugh and cry and we love dramedies. If we can do them both at the same time to accommodate our busy schedule of overeating and destroying the planet, even better!&nbsp;

Proving that the sum can be greater than the parts, here is a list of the best of the best dramedies that have aired on US television. What would you say the best dramedy of all time is?

Fan Theories

If you love The Simpsons,&nbsp;we want you to vote on the best Homer Simpson fan theories the internet has to offer. For over 30 years now, Homer Simpson has been in our living rooms, hopping on the couch beside us after scrambling through the garage to avoid being run over by a station wagon. Over that time, he has repeatedly put the power plant he works at in jeopardy. He has been to outer space. His barbershop quartet has won an award statue (&quot;Aww, it&#39;s a Grammy&quot;) and he&#39;s spoken to God himself. But beyond all the surface level absurdity and hilarity-- the &quot;D&#39;ohs&quot; and son-strangles and donuts-- there is a hidden layer to Homer Simpson that tests our understanding of the the whole Simpsons&#39; universe.

By taking a deep dive into some of the most prophetic, unusual, and sometimes hard-to-even-entertain fan theories about Homer Jay Simpson, we can speculate on the deeper meaning of what makes Springfield tick. Whether it&#39;s the idea that he&nbsp;has been in a decades-long coma, the notion that he might be&nbsp;much&nbsp;smarter than we think he is, or that his boss has more devious plans for his nuclear safety technician than meets the eye, these Homer Simpson fan theories are as original as they are <a href="https://media1.tenor.com/images/d382abdc291252a0975d7b93a895339e/tenor.gif?itemid=4173008" target="_blank">jaw-dropping</a>.

It&#39;s difficult to exaggerate the impact of Robin Williams, because &quot;impact&quot; is the perfect word for his comedic style. In his stand-up, he threw jokes at the audience rapid-fire, parading through characters and voices without stopping for breath - ending his set drenched in a mixture of his own sweat and several bottles of water. As an actor, he could achieve heartbreaking sincerity - such as his Oscar-winning role in&nbsp;Good Will Hunting -&nbsp;or clown his way through utter dreck.

Off stage, Williams&nbsp;battled with depression and addiction. In the comedy community, he was both envied for his success and despised for stealing jokes - a charge Williams freely admitted to. He was open about his flaws, and beloved by his friends - and audiences the world over. Here are a few things you may not have known about Robin Williams.

As these banned SNL hosts and guests proved the hard way, on live television, anything can happen. These fine actors, comedians, public figures, and musicians each did something so profane, outrageous, or just plain rude that they were banned from the sketch comedy institution of Saturday Night Live for life. Which hosts and musical guests have been banned from SNL?

It might be a surprise that in over 40 years of the show being on the air, only a little over a dozen of the hundreds of performers and guests have been banned. From Sin&eacute;ad O&#39;Connor&#39;s infamous incident with the photo of the Pope,&nbsp;to <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/ludicrous-steven-seagal-stories/robert-f-mason?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">actors like Steven Seagal</a> acting like jerks, these stars and public figures are all part of an elite group banned from Saturday Night Live.

It&#39;s not necessarily a group they wanted to be a part of, but their outrageous behavior, either on stage or behind the scenes (or both), got all these people on the Saturday Night Live banned list. Read through the list below to find out if your favorite SNL host or musical guest has ever been banned from appearing on the show.

Comedians

This list ranks the best stand-up comedians in the history of the art form. First and foremost, all of the people on this list are funny comedians. Beyond that, this is a diverse list of people with different styles who approach different types of subject matter.&nbsp;Many of the popular comedians listed below worked their way up through the stand up circuit and eventually landed shows&nbsp;or specials on Netflix or Comedy Central, while others started their own YouTube channels and put their best jokes out into the world that way. The funniest comedians can come from any type of background, obviously there are insanely talented Black, Asian, Latino and white comedians (and everything in between.)

Being a good stand-up comic is tough, and whether they&#39;re an observant, an orator, an absurdist, blue collar, or alternative, all of the funny comedians on this list are unique, hardworking, and hilarious.

'90s TV We'll Never Forget

90s TV

It&rsquo;s hard to choose the best sitcoms of the &lsquo;90s - so many quality theme songs, so many outlandish misunderstandings, and so many will-they-or-wont-they plot lines. Though Seinfeld dominated much of the era, the show actually began its run in the &lsquo;80s, so for the purposes of this best-of list, we begin at the beginning: The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Home Improvement, and Beavis and Butt-head are just a few of the greatest sitcoms to start the &lsquo;90s.

By the time Clinton was sworn into office, Blossom, Martin, and Mad About You were already must-see mainstays in &#39;90s television. Building on the successes of ensemble comedies like Cheers and Night Court, other sitcoms of the &#39;90s like&nbsp;Wings, Frasier, and The Drew Carey Show boasted a core group of characters getting equal airtime and intersecting storylines.

Then, there were the cultural phenomena. Friends took off like a pop-culture rocket, influencing music, fashion, hairstyles, and vernacular. The long-running South Park launched on Comedy Central and neither animation nor celebrity spoofing would ever be the same. Cable broke new programming ground with Sex and the City, among other shows, setting a course for the &lsquo;00s and teens, where subscription cable dominates the zeitgeist and awards shows.

Some critics&rsquo; darlings, like NewsRadio, saw abbreviated runs, while worn-out premises, like The Nanny, exceeded expectations. Shows like Will &amp; Grace, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Living Single, and Step by Step reflected how the culture was redefining the traditional family. The funniest shows of the &lsquo;90s entertained but were also informed by the way we live today.

What are the best &#39;90s sitcoms? Did the sitcoms you think are best make the list? Are they still as fresh today as they were 30 (yes 30!) years ago? Take a look and vote the best 1990s sitcoms to the top.

List of the best current Saturday Night Live cast members, as ranked by fans and casual critics. SNL has been on for 45 glorious seasons. The show has been known for scooping up the most talented improv and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/comedians?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comedy actors</a> on the underground circuit and turning them into comedy superstars. In 2012, many of the SNL cast members who were carrying the weight of the show for years - including Bill Hader, Jason Sudeikis, and Fred Armisen - left the cast and left plenty of room for newcomers to shine. The current cast of SNL is filled with newcomers who have yet to make a big name for themselves in sketch comedy. The present season has allowed these lesser known cast members to properly sparkle.&nbsp;

This list features <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-saturday-night-live-cast-thinks-about-show/mike-calendrillo/" target="_blank">long time cast members</a> like Bobby Moynihan and long-time sketch comedy veterans Kenan Thompson and Kate McKinnon, as well as newer faces like Melissa Villase&ntilde;or and Kate McKinnon&nbsp;who prove themselves on a weekly basis. Not only is individual comedy prowess important, illustrating an ability to work as a comedy team puts some of these cast members among the best of the best. The SNL current cast is versatile and can do it all.&nbsp;
