I always thought Undercover Brother was overrated.

i dont get the hate on it, it is really hilarious also, that is a great movie right there, i laughed so much with it 8-Bitterness

I Love You, Man.

Critics pretty much universally praised it, but when it comes to movie goers, pretty much the only comedy from 2009 they ever give praise to is The Hangover, and while that was a good movie, I Love You, Man was a true mansterpiece of bromantic comedy which deserves more than it gets.

Role Models. People treat the Hangover and Step Brothers as the two best R-rated comedies of the past few years (and they actually were both pretty good movies), but Role Models was better than both.

The God's Must Be Crazy

I only saw part of it but it was absolutely hillarious throughout. On top of that, it is an absolutely BRILLIANT look at how societies differ and what happens when they clash.

Basic premise is someone throws an empty coca cola bottle out of an airplane window and it lands next a bushmen in some desert in Africa. Having never experienced anything from the outside world, the tribe becomes fascinated with the bottle and end up finding many different uses for it. This leads to bickering within the tribe so one of the men takes the bottle and vows to "toss it off the edge of the Earth" and goes on a journey. There are also other characters that I won't get into, but it really is brilliant from what I saw.

Also, Duck Soup is another fantastic forgotten comedy. Seriously, if you don't find this funny you are dead inside.

Miss March definitely. Daavpuke

i love the Whitest Kids.

I think the work of The Coen Brothers are typically underrated.

Yes. I agree with this.

Also my friend would like to submit this

SexDrive. Caught me off guard because my expectations weren't high at all.

Let's Go to Prison. A bit old (2006) but somehow I missed it and I was introduced to it recently and it matches my sense of humour.

one of my favorite holiday movies as well as comedies.

Haven't liked any of the films mentioned except Elf. I'm going with comedy series though:

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace - I've never seen anything else like it, and its genius known no bounds. Even watching episodes multiple times I've noticed new things that've cracked me up. Here's a taster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOA0oXETXJU

Brasseye - My favourite show in the history of the world... and for good reason. Chris Morris's genius take on satirising the media gives us some of the funniest moments in comedy history. That, and the 2001 special is for my money, the single funniest half an hour that you could ever watch, EVER. Here's a taster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRZo8CHsgp8

Nathan Barley - Alongside Brasseye this is Chris Morris's best work. Sick, twisted, brilliantly imaginitive and full of hilarious moments, this NEEDS to be seen. Here's a taster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvTWuUCPuf4 (WARNING, BAD LANGUAGE)

TheLordHimself

1. Funny People

Sure it wasnt very funny but I liked how it mixed comedy, and drama. I think Judd Apatow is maturing as a director. His characters are starting to have more depth. Slightly at least.

2. BASEketball

3. Top Secret!

4. Ravenous

Everyone thought this was a serious horror film. Oh how wrong they were. This is a dark, absurd, and hilarious comedy and cannibalism.

5. Taxidermia

6. Eating raoul

7. Storytelling

8. Save the green planet

9. Swimming with sharks

10. Igby goes down

11. Cemetery man

12. After hours

13. Happiness

14. Buckaroo banzai

15. Secretary

16. Delicatessen

17. The house of yes

18. Serial mom

19. Defending your life

20. Death to smoochy

21. Palindromes

22. The Butcher boy

23. Bad boy bubby

24. Confessions of a dangerous mind

25. In the company of men

Have you seen Chris Morris' new film Four Lions? It is fantastic, one of the best comedies I have seen in years. His show Brass Eye was brilliant, especially the Pedophile special.

Just to add, yeah Brasseye was great pity so many people got offended by the peodeophile episode.

And I loved the Peter serafinowicz Show

And of course the timeless, Bottom

That's really, really high for Rottentomatoes. Not to mention that using Rottentomatoes for anything other than "relatively positive" or "relatively negative" is a bad way to go about. Movies are a lot more subjective than games are.

Coen Brothers movies are extremely popular, I would never throw them in the "underrated" category.

Anyways, my entry:

Black Dynamite , one of the funniest movies i've seen in a while .

I absoultey loved it!

From what I've gathered through the years, it always seemed to me like The Cable Guy was perceived as a stain in Jim Carrey's career but I absolutely love that movie.
