ELV,

That's not the worst comedy ever. Something like: "Scary Movie 1, 2 or 3" are dire. As is "Freddy Got Fingered", and anything starring Adam Sandler!

Failing that, the BBC's new comedy with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden, "Mad About Alice" was about as funny as having a caustic soda enema!

Pooch

Scary Movie is excellent I love it! The Wayans brothers films are great, I'm Gonna git you sucka, Don't go pouring your colt on the pavement when your a bla bla bla (whatever that film is called!).

Waterboy is tops too.

Any romantic comedy gets my vote, or most hollywood films with Rowan Atkinson as the lead role.

While I can't vouch for the worst comedy ever, as I haven't seen all so called "comedys", the worst film i've seen recently is without doubt 'Johnny English'. Predictable and so bad that it's even bad in an ironic way.

Another vote for "Freddy got Fingered" also "Carry on Columbus" -one of only two films I've fallen asleep in the cinema watching- the other was "Jerry Macguire"

Pluto Nash - got the dvd for 99p, never watched it to the end - I reused the case for another disc so it almost made it worth the cash

Rat Race - had two comic geniuses, Atkinson and Cleese, and yet was total, utter cack.

In fact, for all his Blackadder success, our Rowan has a lot to answer for... the Mr Bean movie.... Johnny English... Rat Race... and I thought he was crap in Four Weddings, too.....

I nominate National Lampoon's Men in White. An absolutely dire MiB spoof. Do not ever watch this film for your own good. My other half got it out about 3 years ago from Blockbuster, and it was shockingly bad.

It's really unusual for me to stop watching a film before the end, even on TV. I gave up 40 minutes into Dude, Where's My Car the other night. Funny as a burning orphanage.

agreed, it was terrible, but I watched it to the end. And at least it did make me laugh out loud once or twice which was more than Dude... could manage. Much the same applies to Mike Bassett England Manager.

I've never walked out of a cinema in protest. Too mean I guess. Even avoid going to the toilet if I can, although at my age that can be dangerous.

Am I the only person in the world who quite liked DWMC?

My worst comedy nomination would have to be Runaway Bride.

At one time I would have said "anything with Jim Carrey" - but Adam Sandler has truly redefined the term "s***e"!

I'd have to agree with DWMC! what a loada cr*P!

i also say Scary Movie 2 (just beats the other 2)

and i'll say 'Little Nicky', why o why does Sandler do that annoying voice! argh!! also dont think much of any of his other films apart from wedding Singer which was enjoyable and Punch drunk love.

I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, is a class film

Dont Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood, is another classic film

The old granny in that film does me up

Good choices Sinzer

I've seen it all the way through 3 times although I don't think it quite stretches to the top 10 comic films of all time!

It's nonsense but quite fun. No different to American Pies.
