Help me pick a comedy to watch!
Added 2021-02-18 20:52:41 +0000 UTCHey guys!
I'm in the mood to watch something more light hearted this week. Help me pick a fun comedy to watch!
Comments
None of these qualify as "funny" movies to me. If you want to see a funny movie you should check out what is pretty much universally accepted among movie fans as the funniest movie ever made Some Like It Hot.
David W Richards
2021-03-02 00:08:56 +0000 UTCDumb & Dumber is obviously really dumb, but it's so funny. Amazing classic with some hilarious one-liners.
Matthew Duley
2021-02-24 17:25:18 +0000 UTCIf you want funny, you've got to do Caddyshack. You've got to do Animal House, and for G_d's sake, you've got to do The Blues Brothers, and if you thought the music in Guardians of the Galaxy was great, you've better be wearing the wireless headphones for that because this music will have you dancing, Nat!
Alan Kobb
2021-02-23 22:09:10 +0000 UTCThey are all funny movies, but Hot Fuzz is a total classic. Much funnier than the rest.
2021-02-23 00:19:34 +0000 UTCThere needs to be "All of these" option
Grumples
2021-02-22 20:20:57 +0000 UTCThis.
Opti_Frog
2021-02-21 16:30:26 +0000 UTCyou should also watch what we do in the shadows (movie)
Ben Gilshenan
2021-02-21 12:10:52 +0000 UTC1) Weirdly enough, people can like doing things and enjoy other people doing them. I'm pretty sure in one of her videos she said she watched ItsAPrimate, and recommended people to subscribe to his channel post-copyright strike. 2) Pay attention. Jaster didn't say 'react to', he said 'watch'.
Tej Shah
2021-02-21 10:07:43 +0000 UTCAll three are good, but each one stands alone just fine.
Robert Reichle
2021-02-21 09:29:37 +0000 UTCIf you’re gonna watch Hot Fuzz, you gotta do all 3 flavors of the Cornetto trilogy
Jobard
2021-02-21 06:37:26 +0000 UTC1) She IS a reactor. Why would she care to watch OTHER reactors? 2) Pay attention. She doesn't want to become a "Star Wars Channel."
Edward Olson
2021-02-20 19:09:50 +0000 UTCIf you have an extra few minutes sometime it's really fun to watch Star Wars fans react to the Luke battle from the point the X-wing appears. The way they piece by piece gave certain clues, like gloved right hand, ungloved left hand, and green lightsaber, they all knew exactly who it was going to be when he dropped the hood. They get pretty emotional, and it's great to see so many people so full of pure childlike joy. One of the best ones: https://youtu.be/4qJMY73BQdA
2021-02-20 17:44:12 +0000 UTCReally hard to pick between Hot Fuzz and Tucker & Dale! If you can, try both?
Marc Ammundsen
2021-02-20 17:26:59 +0000 UTCIt's the best comedy on this list, for sure.
2021-02-20 16:27:21 +0000 UTC"Dracula: Dead and Loving It" - my favorite comedy. So underrated.
Niklas
2021-02-20 15:44:45 +0000 UTCOMG Tropic Thunder. Best comedy ever
MC
2021-02-20 02:42:28 +0000 UTCYes! I watched Tropic Thunder and its too much, too vulgar. In particular if you want light and fun. Hot Fuzz didn't click any humor buttons. A Knights Tale is more of a comedy love action story. I wouldn't call it a true comedy. But it is Light and Fun. It certainly checks those boxes.
2021-02-20 01:59:43 +0000 UTCIf you're looking for comedies... Airplane Blues Brothers Galaxy Quest Young Frankenstein
Sarlacc1979
2021-02-19 22:59:16 +0000 UTCCan I vote for all of them?
ryan brooks
2021-02-19 22:51:55 +0000 UTCIt's perfect for a double-feature with "Cabin in the Woods."
Matthew
2021-02-19 21:24:36 +0000 UTCCan't believe Tucker & Dale hasn't got more votes. It's an amazing film.
Johan Sånesson
2021-02-19 18:20:46 +0000 UTCjump st!!
Chris Cho
2021-02-19 17:00:46 +0000 UTCI voted for Tucker and Dale. I think all of these would be fine ( Not a fan of Dumb and Dumber personally) but Tucker and Dale is probably the least known of these outside of its cult following ( name recognition). Fans have been asking for the actors to do some sort of follow-up for years.
2021-02-19 14:53:49 +0000 UTCThat is a truly difficult choice. I am a brit so 'Hot Fuzz' but all of the top 3 are great movies.
Ian D Findlow
2021-02-19 13:43:26 +0000 UTCHot Fuzz. It seemed to me your main annoyance with Shaun of the Dead was Nick Frost's idiotic character Ed. Obviously the actor Nick Frost is still in Hot Fuzz, and he still plays some comedic relief, but not via the bumbling idiot character Ed :)
Quarty
2021-02-19 13:34:18 +0000 UTCAnd if you're wondering why the heck he would talk about a comedy "without much blood and gore" while Hot Fuzz is leading the votes...Hmm.
Eric Janssen
2021-02-19 12:48:09 +0000 UTCAbsolutely love Hot Fuzz, one of my favorite movies of all time. Tucker and Dale vs Evil is also delightful. If you don't get around to it by then, Tucker and Dale could be a good October movie as it plays heavily off of horror movie tropes.
Andrew Howard
2021-02-19 09:06:10 +0000 UTCShe watched Shaun during the Halloween month, so just World's End to do after!
Martin Heron
2021-02-19 08:51:56 +0000 UTCThe "Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy" is great. Strawberry (Shaun of the Dead) is my favourite, followed by Chocolate (Hot Fuzz) As for Choc Mint (The Worlds End), well, it’s a lot of fun, but probably best you left till last in the list.
Darren Withers
2021-02-19 08:17:08 +0000 UTCThese choices are definitely comedy but not sure they would all be considered lighthearted! If you really want a comedy without much blood and gore, here are some ideal choices: Airplane Beverly Hills Cop The Naked Gun Midnight Run Mrs. Doubtfire The Mask Kingpin Happy Gilmore Liar Liar There's Something About Mary
Justin S.
2021-02-19 07:46:26 +0000 UTCAnd a good tie in for GOT soon!
mrhalfbit
2021-02-19 07:04:40 +0000 UTCI would recommend A Knights Tale if you havent seen it. Heath Ledger, Alan Tudyk and Mark Addy. Light and fun
Wiremu Marshall
2021-02-19 06:49:58 +0000 UTCah man all these are great for different reasons
Vincent Valentin
2021-02-19 06:40:14 +0000 UTCI figured Hot Fuzz would win and since you've seen Sean of The Dead I'd say continue the trilogy
Anakin Starkiller
2021-02-19 05:13:37 +0000 UTCI will pay you to watch and react to SHAZAM if you have not seen it yet =)
Jayson Phillips
2021-02-19 05:12:32 +0000 UTCHi! First time msg, this is one was tricky as Dale n Tucker is a must see really funny but Hot Fuzz defo fits the bill on this survey.
2021-02-19 04:54:38 +0000 UTCIt would make sense to do Hot Fuzz, since you've already done Shaun of the Dead, and it's the second movie in the Cornetto trilogy. Although, of these four, Tropic Thunder is my personal favorite, but I love all these movies, so this'll be a win-win.
Andy Jordan
2021-02-19 04:23:14 +0000 UTCOnce again asking for Star wars the old republic cinematic (swot cinematic) reaction. know its gonna blow ur socks off hehe. 20 mins video set during war between Jedi and sith. yes its for a game but I guarantee it looks amazing and easily is movie quality. p.s. cant go wrong with the "three flavours cornetto trilogy"(hot fuzz is technically 2nd movie but u can watch out of order)
2021-02-19 04:13:52 +0000 UTCNat, I suggested Tucker and Dale during Halloween and I had to vote for it again. Tropic Thunder is also really funny and original. But you love Alan Tudyk so Tucker and Dale is the clear choice (I really hope Hot Fuzz doesn't win, I just didn't find it that funny). Please everyone hype up the Tudyk (and Labine) movie!
TamaMetalPuppet
2021-02-19 03:01:14 +0000 UTCOoh, I second this.
Troy B.
2021-02-19 03:00:28 +0000 UTC"Blazing Saddles". Definitely "Blazing Saddles"!
Gabriel Lozano, WLC
2021-02-19 02:56:01 +0000 UTCSome comedies from your list I'd like to suggest: ● Airplane! ● Blazing Saddles ● Monty Python's Life of Brian
Ron
2021-02-19 02:49:29 +0000 UTCMr & Mrs Smith & Evolution
JarHead0351
2021-02-19 02:32:23 +0000 UTCit'd be nice if it goes on to world's end, thats my favorite of the bunch
Kelvin
2021-02-19 02:30:48 +0000 UTCVoted for Hot Fuzz personally as it's one of my favourite movies period let alone from this list, but whatever the result ends up being you're in for a treat. They're all very funny movies. Maybe a weird statement to many here but Tropic Thunder is easily my least favourite of the four, doesn't quite line up with my humour I think, and it still had me laughing a lot throughout and was generally a lot of fun.
Friendly Trumpet
2021-02-19 01:27:49 +0000 UTCHonestly the main trailer isn't great for selling what the movie really is. It's not a very funny trailer, and the jokes which are included in the trailer land way better in the context of the full movie.
Friendly Trumpet
2021-02-19 01:24:45 +0000 UTCIf you've seen either of Shawn of the Dead or The World's End you've got some idea of the kind of movie Hot Fuzz is, as it's another "play heavily with the tropes of this kind of movie" comedy passing itself off as being fairly serious, this time with (British) buddy cop, mystery, and action movies instead of zombie movie or ... whatever best describes The World's End. It's VERY good. The writing is phenomenal, the cast is top notch, and you would never tell from looking at it that the budget was under £ 8 million (around $12 million USD) in 2007 and shot in three months.
Friendly Trumpet
2021-02-19 01:22:08 +0000 UTCSHAZAM!
Jayson Phillips
2021-02-19 01:16:12 +0000 UTCI'd like Hot Fuzz to win as a followup to Shawn Of The Dead.
Troy B.
2021-02-19 01:05:29 +0000 UTCThis is a win, win, win, win poll. I'm about to flip a coin.
Baltazar Martinez Jr
2021-02-19 00:53:18 +0000 UTCBoth Hot Fuzz and Tropic Thunder would be absolute winners.
Martin Heron
2021-02-19 00:44:16 +0000 UTCSeconded
Andy Crawley
2021-02-19 00:35:28 +0000 UTCOn the list though I'd go with Tropic Thunder followed a close second by Hot Fuzz
Tony Hart
2021-02-19 00:13:03 +0000 UTCI really recommend Black Dynamite
Tony Hart
2021-02-19 00:11:46 +0000 UTCKinda hoping for Tropic Thunder :o)
tezster
2021-02-19 00:11:44 +0000 UTCTucker & Dale vs. Evil is awesome. Hot Fuzz is *unbelievably* awesome, and incredibly smart. You'll love both, though.
2021-02-18 23:54:20 +0000 UTCHot Fuzz is great , but Tropic Thunder is next level!
Tom
2021-02-18 23:43:56 +0000 UTCI'm very happy that I've never seen any of these, so I won't cast a vote, but I get to watch something new along with Natalie!
Alan Kobb
2021-02-18 23:22:12 +0000 UTCLooks like hot fuzz is taking it, nice
Kelvin
2021-02-18 23:11:03 +0000 UTCI wouldn’t say the Pegg/Frost/Wright team up is overrated, but as an Englishman I will admit that their humour is informed by being both very British and of a particular time, i.e late 90’s to early/mid 2000’s. So I totally get why a lot of younger people and a lot of Americans don’t get the humour. But growing up in the UK at that time, Spaced was hugely influential for a lot of people that have come since, likewise Alan Partridge, Black Books, The Day Today/Brass Eye/Jam, Big Train, The League Of Gentlemen, Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace, The Office, Peep Show, and anything Reeves and Mortimer have ever done.
Andy Crawley
2021-02-18 22:58:23 +0000 UTCReally looking forward to Short Circuit someday making a poll. It’s likely too old/forgotten about to ever win though. What a shame.
Warren Van Wyck
2021-02-18 22:47:11 +0000 UTCI don't believe you can miss with any of these. I like them all!!
Doug Schoettle
2021-02-18 22:46:53 +0000 UTCUnpopular opinion: Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright are overrated.
The Golgothan
2021-02-18 22:37:33 +0000 UTCI'm 100% with you. My girlfriend's son is special needs and I just can't see the humor in it.
Michael Kemp
2021-02-18 22:25:58 +0000 UTCI'm personally not a fan of the simon pegg Nick frost duo. But it seems to be pretty popular
Christopher Robles
2021-02-18 22:16:29 +0000 UTCI used to like 'Tropic Thunder' a lot more before I fell in love with someone whose child was on the spectrum. Despite its good intentions to satirize cinema's obsession with reductive representations of autism spectrum disorder (similar to how it handles race), I nevertheless can't abide the frequent, flippant use of the "R" word for comedy. It's just a word I can't tolerate anymore, even when the film-makers are trying to make a satirical statement. So I'd go with "Hot Fuzz" simply for the reason that, out of the options, it is the least objectionable. But that's just me.
David Trumble
2021-02-18 22:10:52 +0000 UTCI never heard of Hot Fuzz, so watched the trailer, you know, where they should put a few laughs in to get you to watch it. I guess the cold weather sucked my humor, or it just isn't my style of humor. I'm sure if my toes weren't sloowly getting frostbite, it might have registered more. My vote, Tucker/Dale vs Evil.
2021-02-18 22:09:32 +0000 UTCah man this isn't fair! All of these are so good!!
MattN
2021-02-18 22:02:46 +0000 UTCThis is a hard choice. I like all of these, but Tucker and Dale is a different twist on the that particular genre, so I have to pick that one. I'm hoping you put Cabin in the woods in one of these polls soon!
Pete Bowers
2021-02-18 22:02:42 +0000 UTCThe first time you watch Hot Fuzz you will miss so many jokes because you will be laughing so much lol. While I like the other three, especially Tucker and Dale, I adore Hot Fuzz. I have watched it repeatedly and it still cracks me up.
JediLounger
2021-02-18 22:02:22 +0000 UTCI voted for Tropic Thunder. So I just gave it the kiss of death. Sorry
It Hurt A Lot
2021-02-18 22:02:16 +0000 UTCHot Fuzz is the better comedy, but alot of the humor depends on being a fan of the genre it parodies. For Natalie, Tucker and Dale I am guessing will be much more appreciated.
Doug Willour
2021-02-18 21:55:21 +0000 UTCWow, this is more like a "help me determine what order I should watch ALL these movies" poll.
Andrew T
2021-02-18 21:47:03 +0000 UTCI LOVE Tucker and Dale, and can't stand to sit through the other three. ;)
Mark
2021-02-18 21:37:19 +0000 UTCI feel like Hot Fuzz would be better to watch after you’ve seen the movies it references.
John Hoffler Jr.
2021-02-18 21:32:28 +0000 UTCLet's be honest, just add all of these to your list. Why even try picking one of these over the other.
James Young
2021-02-18 21:28:29 +0000 UTCNot gonna vote because they are all great, I could be satisfied with any of them so I'll leave it to what everyone else wants. Regardless of which one wins you should do all of them at some point.
darby72
2021-02-18 21:27:51 +0000 UTCHot Fuzz for the greater good. Tropic Thunder is another good laugh as well
Tiger Chu
2021-02-18 21:23:21 +0000 UTCTropic Thunder, the quotes are none stop and Downey is pure comedy throughout!
2021-02-18 21:23:07 +0000 UTCWith everything that's going on in the world, I definitely think we all need a laugh, and who better to have a laugh with than Nat. Going with Hot Fuzz as it's one we've all been talking about for a while.
Darryl Low
2021-02-18 21:21:47 +0000 UTCTucker and Dale vs. Evil was so misleading (by the poster art and promo). I almost didn't watch it (once upon a time). Thankfully, when it arrived on Netflix, I "took a chance" on it one night and was amazed by the writing and humor - really well crafted. I may lose this pick, too but Hot Fuzz is a movie I've never seen (but heard is a comedy classic).
This_Jedi_crafts
2021-02-18 21:21:39 +0000 UTCAll fun movies, but Hot Fuzz is amazing.
Niklas
2021-02-18 21:20:59 +0000 UTCI know who I am. I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude!
2021-02-18 21:19:51 +0000 UTCHot Fuzz is the only correct choice !
Danishprince
2021-02-18 21:17:45 +0000 UTCCan we add in Zombieland?
kikoyito
2021-02-18 21:11:03 +0000 UTCGot to keep going on the Cornetto Trilogy. My theory is all three are the same movie just happening in alternate realities.
Ron K
2021-02-18 21:10:36 +0000 UTCFew good choices, but I think Tropic Thunder would get the loudest laughs, by pure absurdity.
Cifer
2021-02-18 21:09:49 +0000 UTCMuch better comedies out there but Hot Fuzz is the best of this lot.
Edward Olson
2021-02-18 21:09:36 +0000 UTCWhen one reactor was offering a Request tier, I sent him a Marx Brothers comedy for the first time, and he meant it in the good way when he laughed it was "like Dumb & Dumber, on steroids".
Eric Janssen
2021-02-18 21:09:28 +0000 UTCHot fuzz PLEASE god it’s such an underrated gem
Jim Powell
2021-02-18 21:07:36 +0000 UTCHOT FUZZ BABY!!!!
Rime Pendragon
2021-02-18 21:04:40 +0000 UTCMrs. Doubtfire, Meet the parents, Hot shots!, Beverly Hills Cop trilogy (1&3 are the best), Coming to America, Trading places. P.S.: sorry, but I can't suggest you to watch movies like Dumb and Dumber, too much stupid for my taste.
David Blake
2021-02-18 21:04:30 +0000 UTCHot Fuzz because then you are 1 movie away from finishing the Cornetto Trilogy. It's definitely the right selection for "the greater good..."
Erik Larson
2021-02-18 21:03:52 +0000 UTCJust a quick shout-out but NASA's Perseverance rover just safely landed on Mars! Otherwise Dumb and Dumber is pure silliness I'd like to see you react to!
Christian Fierro
2021-02-18 21:02:17 +0000 UTCI fell asleep during Hot Fuzz, and my dreams were better than the movie.
Jon Hoover
2021-02-18 20:59:37 +0000 UTCBesides mindless condition-reflex fan completism after Shaun, the main reason Reactor-fans have an obsession with making EVERY SINGLE reactor on the face of YouTube watch Hot Fuzz is deliberately very unexpected, very R-rated, and rather icky. Spoilers aside, you have been warned, especially if you asked for "light". Fans’ other obsession, with making EVERY SINGLE reactor on the face of YouTube watch Tropic Thunder is more watchable (ie. language, misquoted catchphrases and goofy random actor-cameos), but of the two, I’d rather get this one out of the freakin’ way as soon as possible. So that we can get right away to fans’ obsession with making every single reactor on the face of YouTube watch Clue. :)
Eric Janssen
2021-02-18 20:58:50 +0000 UTCOooo tough. I’ve seen none of them, so new experience any way we go!
Matthew Periolat
2021-02-18 20:58:34 +0000 UTCHot Fuzz is insanely funny, however Tropic Thunder is all about filmmaking and the LA culture that I feel you would really appreciate. Also seeing Robert Downey Jr. playing a non-Iron Man/Tony Stark character might be a fun change with your MCU viewing. Lastly, it has one of the best cameos of all time in Tropic Thunder. If you watch Hot Fuzz first, PLEASE come back for TT, it is the best.
Reavis Wade
2021-02-18 20:58:10 +0000 UTCUh... None of the above? None of these are my taste. Ah well. Hopefully you’ll enjoy whichever one is chosen.
Wally Hartshorn
2021-02-18 20:58:00 +0000 UTCMan, I love Tucker and Dale and I know Nat loves Alan Tudyk... but I can't vote against Hot Fuzz. It's just too good.
Max du Coudray
2021-02-18 20:57:49 +0000 UTCHad HF recommended to me by pretty much everyone, but it was just hype. Expectations set way too high for what it was. Thunder or D&D....Probably Thunder.
Ortizmo2000
2021-02-18 20:57:30 +0000 UTCDefinitely a "yarp" for Hot Fuzz.
Chris Mick
2021-02-18 20:56:07 +0000 UTCGotta go with Dumb and Dumber. That's a classic!
Joe Blankenship
2021-02-18 20:55:45 +0000 UTCwait... have you not seen Dumb and Dumber??? That HAS to win if so
Tom Fehr
2021-02-18 20:55:05 +0000 UTCHot fuzz all day long #cornetto trilogy 🙂🍦
Ian
2021-02-18 20:54:59 +0000 UTCThis was actually a hard choice between Hot Fuzz and Tropic Thunder, but the Hot Fuzz is just too good to not choose!
2021-02-18 20:54:41 +0000 UTCDefinitely got to follow up Shaun Of the Dead, and Hot Fuzz is the superior film of the “Cornetto Trilogy”!
Andy Crawley
2021-02-18 20:54:14 +0000 UTCI mean, one of these movies is Hot Fuzz and the rest are very funny comedies. Hot Fuzz will win this.
Cactus Tony
2021-02-18 20:54:12 +0000 UTCBoth Tucker and Hot Fuzz. They are both great movies, unless you want to save Tucker for October Natmares.
beetle
2021-02-18 20:54:11 +0000 UTCHot fuzz! Awesome
Longway
2021-02-18 20:54:07 +0000 UTCThese are all great movies and you should definitely watch them all eventually, but I gotta go with topic thunder here
Patrick Mitchell
2021-02-18 20:54:05 +0000 UTC
