a bobble the mold and just somebody to
sit around in a FUBU shirt with a drum
hanging out number 10 the three flavours
Cornetto trilogy from the shop corner
whether battling zombies or aliens Edgar
Wright’s trilogy never fails to deliver
the laughs reuniting the team behind the
British comedy spaced the three flavours
Cornetto series launched with the
fantastic Shaun of the Dead before
keeping up the momentum with Hot Fuzz
and the World’s End yeah we’re gonna go
back to Newton haven why for some
unfinished business
parodying a wide range of genres writes
witty trilogy stars Simon Pegg and Nick
Frost who portrayed different characters
in each story while the cast is
fantastic right is the real star of the
show as the filmmakers sharp editing and
Direction instills a genuine urgency to
the pair’s comedic escapades what’s the
matter Danny you’re never taken a
number nine the Muppets franchise uncle
Kermit this about how the Muppets really
got started created by Jim Henson this
ragtag group of puppets has been a
staple of the big and small screen for
decades with the Muppet Show proving
successful Kermit Miss Piggy and the
gang made their feature-length debut in
1979 s The Muppet movie incorporating a
ton of self-aware and meta jokes
alongside over-the-top musical numbers
the Muppets offer fun for the whole
family
can you help me I have lost my sense of
direction have you tried Harry Krishna
oh no over the years
Henson’s puppets have headlined eight
films including a couple of revered
literary adaptations with most garnering
positive reviews god bless us everyone
the early 21st century reboot
established the Muppets for a new
generation coming what’s more illegal
briefly inconveniencing Jack Black or
destroying them up kidnapping Jack Black
Fozzie number eight the Austin Powers
[Music]
the international man of mystery is a
comedic icon Mike Myers took his quirky
Saturday Night Live style humor to the
big leagues with Austin Powers serving
as the comedian’s crowning achievement
acting as a hilarious alternative to
James Bond and Derek Flint Austin Powers
parodies 1960 spy thrillers by
ridiculing their silly plots stock
characters and excessive machismo says
he named danger palace dangers my middle
name bond is not the only target as
Myers constantly references and
satirizes pop culture of the era
including an appearance by Jerry
Springer this trilogy propelled Austin
Powers and dr. evil into cinematic
legend do I make you horny baby do I
make you number seven the Beverly Hills
Cop franchise yes you have reservation
guard Axel Foley for a while Eddie
Murphy could do no wrong Beverly Hills
Cop followed the adventures of Murphy’s
Detroit cop who visits California to
solve the murder of his friend
aided by local cops Billy rosewood and
Jon Taggart fully quickly realizes that
Beverly Hills is not nearly as glamorous
as it pretends to be become so what’s
the charge
possession of a concealed weapon
disturbing the peace disturbing the
peace I got thrown out of a window
surprisingly gritty for a comedy
franchise Murphy is at his trash-talkin
best during the first two movies go home
now and relax for the rest of the week I
straighten this whole thing out it’s
Miller time
[Music]
despite the final films attempt to
soften up Foley’s character the Beverly
Hills Cop movies are a fantastic ride
and also work as murder mysteries you
should know guns let’s change the world
view number six national lampoon’s
vacation franchise National Lampoon can
be hit or miss but this franchise is a
cut above the rest spanning five
theatrical movies vacation follows the
Griswolds as they try and fail to
experience a carefree holiday there are
no Lots open on Christmas Eve
Lewis burned down my tree so I replace
it as best I could voila are you okay
led by Chevy Chase’s charming buffoonery
the original comedy that launched the
series saw the Griswolds drive
cross-country to Walley world while the
sequels took the family to Europe and
Las Vegas vacation is about a relatively
normal and loving family who happened to
bring the worst out in each other
where’s could they get any words take a
look around you Ellen we’re at the
threshold of Hell number five the
Ghostbusters franchise you slimed me who
you gonna call 1984 s Ghostbusters was a
smart irreverent and occasionally dark
blockbuster that spawned a sequel a
reboot and multiple TV series written by
Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramos who starred
alongside Bill Murray Ernie Hudson and
Sigourney Weaver and directed by Ivan
Reitman Ghostbusters holds up incredibly
even today there is nothing funnier than
watching the sarcastic Peter Venkman
riff on a giant marshmallow man there’s
something you don’t see every day
admittedly the sequel and reboot
struggled to replicate the originals
high standard but the Ghostbusters
trademark quirkiness and charm remained
number four the Back to the Future
franchise well it’s a DeLorean your
questions will be answered roll tape who
knew time travel could be so funny over
the course of three movies Marty McFly
and dr. Emmett Brown evolve rock and
roll fast forward to a surprisingly
accurate 2015 and get involved in an
old-school Western shootout directed by
Robert Zemeckis the Back to the Future
trilogy presents a perfect blend of
comedy and adventure with Michael J Fox
and Christopher Lloyd delivering
performances of a lifetime I am rich
though right Marty please take off your
shirt as each entry drastically alters
the setting the sequels feel fresh and
progressive while other sci-fi films
fade with age Back to the Future just
keeps getting better 3 The Pink Panther
franchise inspector Jacques Clouseau is
on the case Peter Sellers incompetent
detective was only a minor character in
the first Pink Panther film but due to
his overwhelming popularity
Clouseau earned a promotion including
the Steve Martin alan arkin and Roberto
Benigni versions 12 Pink Panther films
have been released so you are 82 Lamb
who has come to Clouseau for to learn
while the latter entries fall short of
sellers run the original clues oh
bumbled his way through some
gut-wrenchingly funny investigations and
when they opened the door she received
the bent upon the head over heaven’s
sake inspector come to the point mostly
written and directed by Blake Edwards
the memorable sketches are punctuated by
good action and Henry Mancini’s iconic
theme song
number two The Naked Gun franchise
I’m lieutenant Frank Drebin police squad
and don’t ever let me catch you guys in
America David Zucker followed up
airplane and top secret by cleaning the
streets of Los Angeles with the help of
lieutenant Frank Drebin based on a
short-lived television series The Naked
Gun trilogy is a comedic tour de force
that cemented Leslie Nielsen as a
bonafide legend when I see five weirdos
dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the
middle of the park and full view of a
hundred people I shoot the best it’s
that’s my policy
while not above parodying other films
police squad prioritized slapstick humor
visual gags and puns a decision that
helped the franchise age gracefully all
I know is it’s Downtowner
big that’s the way I like it
Nielsen’s deadpan delivery juxtaposes
perfectly with the trilogy’s insane
plots and we doubt there’s a single
person who does not love the naked guns

the Monty Python franchise the surreal
humor of Monty Python’s Flying Circus
translated astonishingly well to the big
screen after testing the waters with
1971’s
and now for something completely
different Monty Python knocked it out of
the park with the Holy Grail an absurd
comedy based on the legend of King
Arthur so how do you follow up one of
the best films of all time

New Testament and brought the house down

light side of the comedy group bowed out

life this video and the ultimate comedy
