Comedy Movies

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/the-funniest-movies-of-all-time?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;

Comedy

Let&#39;s get one thing straight:&nbsp;Comedy is harder than drama. And to make a parody that&#39;s better than the original?&nbsp;Well, that&#39;s harder than making a comedy or a drama. To deftly combine the best aspects of two distinct genres into one incredible film - to expertly parody and subvert a genre while simultaneously adding a noteworthy film to the genre&#39;s canon? Hard to do, but for the movies on this list, clearly not impossible.

Part of what makes this cinematic feat&nbsp;doable is inherent to the nature of parody itself. Ask comedians or comedy writers what they like to spoof, and you&#39;ll generally&nbsp;find they choose subjects they genuinely love. So, a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-horror-parody-movies/ranker-film" target="_blank">comedian making a horror movie</a> knows enough about the genre to subvert the audience&#39;s&nbsp;expectations; by that same token, they know enough about the genre to simply make a good film within its formula.

Here&#39;s a list of films that have done it best. Vote up the movies you think best parody&nbsp;a genre while being just as good as the real thing.

In the space of less than two hours, whether it's a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/saddest-comedy-final-scenes/julian-hoffman">sad scene</a> in a rom-com, or a gut-punch moment in a quirky satire, you might find yourself moving back and forth between tears and laughter.A truly great comedy film can make that move between emotional registers in a single moment of cinematic time.&nbsp;

Sitcoms

When it comes to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-sitcoms-in-television-history" target="_blank">sitcoms</a>, there are only so many plot lines that can be original since the basic outline of these shows is relatively simple. Due to this limitation, there tend to be tropes that have become all too common, and often times - all too <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/funniest-tv-shows-ever" target="_blank">ridiculous</a>. These are incorporated either within particular episodes or are presented in the form of recurring traits and dynamics for the characters. Often, these can be seen as part of thematic stories that have links to morals or the value of friends and family. Still, there&#39;s no escaping the fact that a story can be termed as a recycled&nbsp;premise and it&#39;s interesting how&nbsp;multiple sitcoms have repeated the practice. These are the most absurd sitcom plots we could find.&nbsp;

The Addams Family movies are an Easter egg hunter&#39;s dream. Not only do they include references to the comic strips of Charles Addams, but they&rsquo;re filled with minor details and hidden gems that improve&nbsp;the films with each consecutive watch. These background set pieces, props, and character actions that are kept from the forefront of the frame in the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/all-the-addams-family-characters/reference" target="_blank">Addams Family movies</a>&nbsp;show a dedication to detail rarely present in blockbusters.&nbsp;

Where does the family keep their dubious, possibly sadistic&nbsp;devices? Does Pugsley have&nbsp;kleptomania, or is he just deeply disturbed? And where was Uncle Fester prior to the events of The Addams Family? All of these questions are answered in details that were squirreled away in the nooks and crannies of Barry Sonnenfeld&rsquo;s gothic comic masterpieces.&nbsp;

There are many reasons why an actor could join a successful television show in the midst of the series' run. One of the original stars could quit. Or be fired. Or (sadly) <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/celebrities-who-passed-while-filming/famous-celebrity-deaths-list">pass away</a>. Or the producers might want to add a totally new character to move the show in a new direction or just add a new face to the existing cast.Whatever the reason, joining a successful show mid-run often comes with challenges for the actor. They might be resented by the cast members who have been on the show from the start, they might struggle to connect with their part, or maybe the fans of the show don't warm up to them. Or the actor might face any one of many other challenges. On occasion, the actor may actually fit seamlessly into the cast and crew.&nbsp;Below, &nbsp;actors talk about their experiences when they were cast in a successful <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-sitcoms-in-television-history">sitcom</a> during its run.

Saturday Night Live

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.

Popular Opinion

The funniest <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-female-tv-characters-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">female TV characters</a> are those whom we&#39;ve both laughed at and laughed with, sharing their hilarious moments and sometimes their most touching ones. These funny females are mothers, friends, wives and businesswomen -- comical television character versions of the roles women play in real life. Sometimes easy to relate to, sometimes not, funny female TV characters keep viewers returning to the TV for season after season.

While most truly funny women on TV can be found in sitcoms, a few of the best and funniest women in television can be found in dramas and even cartoon shows. Ally McBeal proved that a leading woman&rsquo;s role could deal with dramatic situations, yet still allow the female lead to be humorous. A few of the funniest female TV characters have also come from books adapted into television shows, as in the case of Piper Chapman -- who also plays in a drama.&nbsp;

Some of the funniest women on TV are known for their antics; a classic example is Lucy Ricardo&rsquo;s failure to pronounce &ldquo;Vitameatavegamin&rdquo; after becoming tipsy off the health tonic of the same name. Some of TV&rsquo;s funniest women are known for their rants or musings. Remember when Elaine Benes had to decide whether men were &lsquo;spongeworthy?&#39; Or 30 Rock&#39;s sarcastic Liz Lemon and her many antics. No matter why viewers find them funny, these quirky, witty girl characters continue to stand the test of time and give both men and women hilarious females to enjoy on TV.&nbsp;

Whoever your favorite funny women on TV are, chances are they&rsquo;ve become characters you can watch again and again. And that&rsquo;s the real test: The funniest female TV characters aren&rsquo;t just funny once, they&rsquo;re enjoyable and humorous with repeated viewings. They&rsquo;re human, they&rsquo;re engaging and these funny television females give audiences not only a laugh, but a lift -- whether they earned one season, six seasons or more.
