Looking for some funny movies to pull me out of my post election malaise.

1. I always ,

Go back to Caddyshack when I need a pick me up.
It just reminds me of that time in my life, kinda free and easy. With a great comic team.

6. speaking of oldies/goodies I re-watched Stripes for the first time in 30 years

It was hilarious. Truly stands the test of time. Sometimes I watch movies I loved in high school and think 'I can't believe I was once a person who liked this."

[EYESORE 9001]

2. I've been accused of being a Lebowski cultist

Even going so far as suggesting that I modify my behavior in order to come off as more ‘dude’-like. Personally, I think The Dude would have us revisit his saga while in an elevated state. I’ll refrain from suggesting how one attains that lofty perch.

[Harker]

7. Because you wear a cowichan, drink White Russians, and are in a bowling league? n/t, man.

[EYESORE 9001]

21. It's all about attitude, man

The same attitude that prompted an elementary school teacher to remark that I was like the living embodiment of Alfred E. Neumann’s ‘what, me worry?’ persona. I did bowl in a league in younger days, but I would have a Black Russian instead.

[Lunabell]

3. Netflix

Ted Danson in The Man Inside. It is light hearted and Danson is a funny, dapper lay private detective.

And a raucous period series called The Decameron. OMG! Hysterical. Especially if you are a fan of historical (hysterical) TV.

Also, a short series called Lunatics. It is very irreverent and hysterical.

8. I just started "The Man Inside" a couple night ago

It's pretty good. Lunatics looks like it has potential. Especially since it's Australian.

[BOSSHOG]

4. My Cousin Vinny

The Jerk
Paper Moon

[Irish_Dem]

5. Life on Mars (UK series). 2006-2007

Brilliant and hilarious series.
Some outdated language and references.


Also "Two's Company" also British about 1975.

A bit dated, but quite funny.

[Fiendish Thingy]

[Bmoboy]

[bif]

[FSogol]

[bif]

[Trueblue Texan]

14. Lately I've been watching Young Sheldon on Netflix

My go to that keeps me from falling into despair.

[La Coliniere]

19. There's Something About Mary

-Hairspray, (not the Broadway musical)
-A Shot in the Dark
-Dr. Strangelove

20. "After the Fox" w/Peter Sellers. "A Funny Thing

Happened on the Way to the Forum” w/Phil Silvers.

[TuxedoKat]

22. Opportunity Knocks

Has Dana Carvey as a con man. It's an older movie with some politically incorrect humor, as long as you allow for those parts. There was one scene where I just laughed my head off it was so good and unexpected! If you see it, let me know how you liked it.
