Not a damn thing, so I wanna post a comment just to ask about lesser known comedies that are worth watching. It's so damn rare for a comedy to come out these days (with the only thing to maybe look forward to being the remake of Naked Gun) and it's my favorite genre. If it's hugely popular, chances are I have seen it, probably millions of times to boot; I want something I haven't seen before.
How about old comedies? Top.Secret was new to me and is now timely with Val Kilmer's death.
Or, modern old Timey influenced, Hundreds of Beavers.
Old is good. Top Secret has some amazing visual gags. The backwards scene, the magnifying glass, the underwater bar fight... And it was also one that until recently flew under my radar.
Hundreds of Beavers isn't something I have seen tho.
Oh, you are in for a treat with hundreds of beavers, enjoy!
But basically agree, good comedies are depressingly rare.
Have you seen Waiting for Guffman and/or American Movie? Criminally unknown (in my opinion) pair of early mockumentaries.
Not sure if these are what you're looking for, but "Three Amigos", "The Jerk", and "Rustler's Rhapsody" are three of my favorites.
Laid on Peacock was light. I enjoyed it. Man on the Inside on Netflix was also cute.
Movies... Yes, God, Yes was cringy funny. Croods 2 if you can find it is amazing!!
