Overrated comedies

[QUOTE="FrostyPhantasm"]Pineapple Express is my favorite comedy movie ever.theone86

That movie is hilarious, I don't understand all the hate it's getting in this thread.

Old School comes to mind as overrated, the American Pie movies were horibly unfunny, and I might get some flack for this but none of the Meet the Parents movies were funny to me, not even the first one, way overrated. As for TV, just about anything on network TV. Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half men stand out, Mike and Molly makes me cringe and I have no idea how that can become the number one rated comedy or whatever it is, and going back a while That 70s Show is horribly overrated.

Anything Monty Python related.

Oh, it's terrible, well why didn't you just say so? Thank you so much, you've completely clarified the objective complaints that people have about this movie:roll:

My thinking is that you had to be old enough to appreciate all the references.

That may be partially true, but I picked up on some of them, and still found it really bad, my dad also disliked it, and he certainly understood all the references.

Knocked Up and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.socked_feet

How could you not like Forgetting Sarah Marshall? That movie was great.

I don't think I could take Russell Brand for more than a couple of hours, I just found him funny in moderation in FSM.

Anything with Seth Macfarlane's name on it... not including Robot Chicken of course. Im sick of the amount of time his crap gets on Adult Swim. They should show their own programming.wolverine4262

What does Seth McFarlane have to do with Robot Chicken?

I was thinking he may have gotten confused with Seth Green.

The Hangover was so lame. Also SilentFireX is very proud, that's nice I guess o.O

Just about any sitcom with a laugh track, with exceptions to Seinfeld and very few othersJML897

Hot Tub Time Machine,... so many of my friends said it was funny... after watching it I wanted to slap everyone of them

Modern Family, hate that show with a passion.

As for movies, The Hangover. For the amount of hype over it, I didn't think it was that good

"Friends" instantly come to mind.

I'm also not too fond of Family Guy or the Simpsons but I can at least see why people may enjoy them.

But the show "Friends"...I've tried watching it and every episode I watched, I had to force myself to laugh. Everybody in my family are huge fans of the show and I cannot for the life of me understand why.

The 40 Year Old Virgin. I don't think I laughed once.sammyjenkis898

Scrubs and the office. I have never laughed watching either of those shows.

Wait, why are some people in this thread "forcing" themselves to laugh? Why laugh at something if you don't think it's funny?

What's will the the hate for Modern Family =/, I can understand overrated (it's hard for anything to live up to that amount of praise), but really "hate with a passion" and "worst"? And the AD comparisions have never made that much sense to me, aside from the filiming style, and basic sense about them being about a family I don't see much similar at all. Modern Family is a mockumentary, AD is narrated (humorusly). AD gets much of its humor from being about a dysfunctional family, while Modern Famliy's derives alot of it's humor from more common family situtions (a father-in-law who sorta hates his son-in-law, father who tries way too hard be to hip, parents worrying about their children growing up, siblings who fight but do show moments where they care about each other, parents concerned about their daughter's boyfriend, etc). And most of all the fact that AD isn't exactly as family-friendly as Modern Family, AD jokes about everything from sex, to religion, to politics, even incest.

I'm not saying one show is better than the other, but I don't see how they're at all similar.

Anything Judd Apatow and or seth rogen has done. They aren't funny.. Neither can't make a joke that doesn't involve pot, a penis or swearing. Seriously when Seth Rogen came into the movie Paul and did his stupid swearing bit I couldn't even take it he ruined the movie... SAYING F*** IN EVERY SENTENCE DOES NOT MAKE WHAT YOU JUST SAID FUNNY

Seinfeld

Whats funny is there was one episode of Saved by the bell that didn't have a laugh track because there were in Hawaii for some reason... And holy god was it unwatchable.. I was always aware Saved By the Bell was just a dumb show and I watched it just beacuse of its sillyness but without the laugh track it just is really awkward and weird.

Wait, why are some people in this thread "forcing" themselves to laugh? Why laugh at something if you don't think it's funny?

TGM_basic

The only reason I can think of is if they're watching the movie with other people and they don't want to be known as the uptight guy who doesn't have a sense of humor.

The Office, the stupid version.

Big Bang Theory

Two and a Half Men. Chuck Lorre needs to apologise to everyone for these.
