Dumb and Dumber? I agree.

Yep, no matter what you call it (humor, slapstick, silliness)...that movie was out of control.

All I know is I laughed til I hurt.

That's a comedy right there.

They are entertaining, but not list worthy.

1. The quality that makes something laughable or amusing; funniness: could not see the humor of the situation.
2. That which is intended to induce laughter or amusement: a writer skilled at crafting humor.
3. The ability to perceive, enjoy, or express what is amusing, comical, incongruous, or absurd.

Dumb and Dumber absolutely contains humor.

And if I laugh at something, it's funny. You can try to downplay one of the funniest movies ever, but you look kind of foolish doing it.

D&D is up there with Animal House and Revenge of the Nerds for me.

The best of John Belushi SNL skits, now that's funny.

I know this is old school but you're not going to find a funnier movie than It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

Or you look foolish laughing at a couple of guys acting like morons. If comedy at an 8th grade level is your bag, then more power to you. I just can't really get into a movie that appeals to the lowest, common denominator... two characters portraying their Nth level of stupidity and ignorance for 90 minutes. No, it's not all that funny to me.

I won't tell you there weren't a couple of funny parts to that movie, but overall?

Just pure silliness, and especially not worthy of a sequel.

A real star studded cast! And a very funny movie.

Some us listed funny movies but we deviated from the topic. Here is my attempt to get on topic:

1, Young Frankenstein. Scene: The doctor (Wilder) is asking Igor (Feldman) whose brain did he stole. The reply was Abbie Normal

2, Blazing Saddles. Scene: The sheriff is near

3, Plaines, Trained, and Automobiles. Scene: Thise aren't Pillows

4, Airplane. Scene: June Ward talks Jive

5, Animal House. Scene: Belushi on the ladder peeping into windows

6, Ghost Busters. Scene: Bill Murray telling the Mayor that "This man has no dick".

7, Smokey and the Bandit. Scene: Jacky Gleason "I can't believe that you came from my louns@

8, The Groove Tube. Scene: The Talking Penis

9, Something Special About Mary. Scene: The beans is over the frank?

10, Meet the Parents. Scene: when the parents learn that Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) first name is actually Gay.

I thought Caddyshack was Murray's funniest movie. And I don't think Smokey and the Bandit was as funny as the others in the list. I do agree that Airplane was hilarious.

I don't think you can rate the funniest scenes in movies, because you have to think about the scene in context. There are some funny scenes in generally bad movies (example: anything by Keenan Ivory Wayans), but you can't enjoy them because the movie stinks. And a scene is generally made funnier if it fits into the plot, and fits into the character development and the story. That's why some TV actors don't translate to movies (Dana Carvey, e.g.). You can't do ten SNL sketches that are individually very funny and turn it into a funny movie.
