Little Miss Sunshine :)

JakeyShakeyBakeyBoy

Raising Arizona aw yeah. A Fish Called Wanda is brilliant too

QuiGon_Jim (Howe)

Little Miss Sunshine gets my vote. A fantastically brilliant film.

The Gunslinger

Little Miss Sunshine is a must watch! Also, you should check Rango at some stage.

Lalalenski

Little Miss Sunshine. What a great movie. Expected nothing when watching this, got everything 😭

buddha bling

By history of the world do you mean that YouTube video?? Lol

ShōNuff3K

Raising Arizona is a must for comedy aficionados seen list.

Bonny T

Little Miss Sunshine!!! 🥰

streetduck

Movie for future Ha-has: Dazed and Confused

Den Radar Ryan

"Raising Arizona". Absolute classic! "That there's how it is!" “...Or My Name Ain't Nathan Arizona!” 😜

Ben Towle

Honestly, not many big laughs in any of these movies for me

Awesome80s

Little Miss Sunshine is both touching and hilarious

beefjerkywizard

I'm the opposite. Seven awesome choices made voting easy

UnlicensedOkie

Well dang Two of my least favorite of this list are the top I hope they do the others too I’m sure they’ll really enjoy them Raising Arizona, history of the world, animal house, old school

Hans Olav Sletnes

Comedy suggestion for the future: What About Bob (1991). One of the best Bill Murray comedies.

Pearl Jam

Jumanji: The Next Level

Da Big Appa

All the movies are good IMO but the ones on the everyone must watch at least once list are History of the World part 1 and Raising Arizona. The voting is interesting on this one since all the pre 2000 movies got low votes and post 2000 got the most votes. I wonder if it's an age thing for what we watched when we were young.

DemNikoArt

Good ones but some crucial ones are missing 😉 - Blades of Glory (Ridiculous comedy with Will Ferrell and John Heder about two competing male ice skaters) - Starsky & Hutch (Ben Stiller and Owen Willson teaming up again, I mean... c'mon 😁) - I love you man (romantic comedy but with two dudes that try to become best friends, with Paul Rudd & Jason Segal) - Palm Springs (groundhog Day with Andy Samberg) - Dath becomes her - Beerfest (ridiculous comedy about a group of friends who compete in an international beer drinking contest) - Thank you for smoking (Satire about the smoking lobby, with Aaron Eckhart and Katie Holmes) - Just Friends (Silly comedy with Ryan Reynolds & Amy Smart)

Jobbe Smit

Humor is also highly personal so maybe some just gravitate towards a different kinda jokes.

jmundt33a

A Fish called Wanda and a bunch of duds. Yay? Well, apologies to A History of the World. I don’t vibe with most Mel Brooks films.

Dustin

I’ve been wanting to see you guys react to Meet the Parents for so long! One of my favorite comedies.

Dag Einar Bergli

Old School is my favorite here. Meet The Parents also hilarious

Jeff K.

I don't mind Meet the Parents, but it's literally my last place choice in this poll (and this is a pretty stacked poll). So, naturally, it's on the verge of running away with this one. Ah well. Happy for the people who love that film.

Raymond DeGraw

Very nice poll... Looking forward to seeing the winner... Still hoping for these in the future... 1. The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) 2. Alita Battle Angel 3. The Game 4. Labyrinth 5. Falling Down

UnSafeStu

Next comedy on my top 100 is She's The Man (2006) but mostly that's just my sense of humour. Anyone else?

Jeff I.

Glad to see Little Miss Sunshine doing well. Hopefully it gets second place! It's so good.

Michele

Little Miss Sunshine!

Patrick

This poll is stacked. I don't even care which one wins.

Dan

You're mah boy, Blue! (Old School FTW)

Florian

History of The World is awsome, I want to watch some Mel Brooks classics with you :)

Adam K

Meet the Millers is a sad omission from this poll. Next time!

Brandon Meng

COULD THIS BE THE TIME LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE FINALLY WINS A POLL!?!??! It's the best movie here but Old School and Animal House (aged questionably) are also great. Also for "ha-has" please add Forgetting Sarah Marshall to your next poll. And for any poll please add Perks of Being a Wallflower, easily one of my favorite movies of all time!

Stephanie Bedworth

GO LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE! WOO! and honorable mention to Raising Arizona, which I also voted for.

Michael Buhl

There's one on the poll I haven't seen and one I wish I hadn't seen, but I would be happy with any of the other choices. I wish the original 1979 version of The In-Laws was on this poll.

Maikeru Dagurasu

Some gems by Taylor Hackford (Helen Mirren‘s husband by the way) Blood In Blood Out (1993) Dolores (1995) The Devil‘s Advocate (1997) Ray (2004)

Henry Sanchez

Little Miss Sunshine ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Jeremy

Raising Arizona is such a good movie with Nic Cage.

Jacob King

Raising Arizona is the standout on this list for me. Comedy is so weirdly subjective.

jmundt33a

Just as a clarifier. Meet The Parents is from 2000. Meet The Fockers is from 2004.😡

Studio

How is Meeting The Parents, winning?! Lmao. Not gonna say anything. I respect everyone...

Brendan Rafferty

Sad to see A Fish Called Wanda and Raising Arizona trailing so badly in this poll I can only guess younger voters never saw them.

Mikebdrx

Recommending one of the most outrageous movies I know Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead just to see if it ever gets watched.

Maikeru Dagurasu

Mel Brooks‘s Life Stinks should be on that poll. Ha tu! Ha tu! Ziggity Bing Bam Boom! Ha tu!

YukoValis

I still would like to see A Series of Unfortunate events.

Brendan Rafferty

Mel Brooks made some brilliant comedies. History of the World was probably one of his weakest

יוסי פורקוש

raising arizona is a must, dont leave without it! History of the world hilarious also a classic

Paul Mix

A Fish Called Wanda is simply the *chef's kiss* of comedic writing and delivery.

Lovable Lowlife

History of the World Part One! I love telling Monty Python fans Mel Brooks is funnier.

Mr. Writhms

Comedies for your consideration: "Stripes" (1981, Bill Murray) "Risky Business" (1983, Tom Cruise) "Splash" (1984, Tom Hanks) "48 Hours" (1984, Eddie Murphy) "Midnight Run" (1988, Robert De Niro)

DM DC

Old School was down right hilarious! Will Ferrell is just sheer genius.

Jasper Collins

A Fish called Wanda is a fun almost Monty Python movie and I'm really excited about litte miss sunshine. It's such a cute movie

Nicholas Jensen

Little Miss Sunshine is such a wonderful movie! Hopefully you will watch it, even if it doesn't win the poll.

Thomaz Chagas

Some suggestions: - Almost Famous (2000) - written and directed by Cameron Crowe - Big Fish (2003) - Make sure Simone is hydrated before watching. - Gangs of New York (2002) - Daniel Day-Lewis and Leonardo DiCaprio - Jumanji: The Next Level (2019)

FranciscoGios

Meet the Parents if it wins you guys will have a good time

Kinokind

Sad that no one ever considers "Used Cars", the Zemeckis/Bob Gale/ Kurt Russell comedy they did while writing "Back to the Future". Kurt Russell is a crooked used car salesman, competing with Jack Warden (the ballgame guy in "12 Angry Men") who plays twin brothers. It's insane and deserves more love.

RLYtoxic

Just got done watching Face/Off reaction, makes me wanna watch Broken Arrow.

JayF

As an old man I love Animal House but even I have to admit that there are parts of that one that didn't age well at all. Revenge of the Nerds is in the same space. Also, that A Fish Called Wanda isn't running away with this one is a travesty.

RipTheRipper

Pretty good list...I'm very partial to Little Miss Sunshine so glad to see it has a fighting chance. It's fighting what would prolly be last on my list..but this is rare for me..but I actually think all on the list would make for very good reaction so it's a win win

paul rai

Little Miss Sunshine! Yes!!! So happy this is on a poll. You guys are gonna love it!

RipTheRipper

Requests: - 500 Days of Summer (2009) - Nocturnal Animals (2016) - Selena (1997) - Ghost World (2001) - Knock at the Cabin (2023) - Carol (2015)

Scott Meyer

Just saying, you've enjoyed every Coen Bros film you've seen, and Raising Arizona is (In my opinion) their best.

Jeff K.

Random movie suggestion for a future poll (especially if y'all do another international movie poll): Brotherhood of the Wolf. It's a French horror martial arts movie very loosely inspired by a real incident that happened in the 18th century and features martial artist and former Iron Chef host Mark Dacascos being an unbelievable badass (not to mention, it's the movie that introduced me to Monica Bellucci, for which I'll forever be grateful). Note to anyone who hasn't seen it and chooses to watch it, though: watch it with subtitles. The dubbed voices are awful.

Josip Buretić

Great poll, I now it is a little bit older movie but I love Mel Brooks movies History of the World is my favorite 😁 I also love Little Miss Sunshine great movie.

G P

Raising Arizona is easily the best one on the list, but Little Miss Sunshine is also great. Meet the Parents is pretty good overall, but definitely overhyped.

G P

Recommending: The Man Who Wasn't There Best In Show Barry Lyndon Eyes Wide Shut 12 Monkeys Dollars Trilogy Dune (1984) Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)

John

Given that you watched Goldeneye, I think it might be fun to have mini-polls for the most popular Bond movies for each actor (i.e. Connery, Dr. No, Goldfinger, etc..., Moore, Live and Let die, etc...) That way you can see each actor but not watch each Bond movie. Hot Fuzz hits harder after you have seen Tim Dalton as James Bond

sarCC

I can't remember in which video it was mentioned, but it sounds like at least Simone hasn't seen Iron Man 3. Since it's written and directed by Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, The Nice Guys), and it was the best (imo)MCU movie for a long time, I think you two should check it out. It's very funny and fun.

Renee MeowMeow Beans

These are all fun comedies! My tastes lean toward Raising Arizona, Fish Called Wanda, and Little Miss Sunshine. But Raising Arizona is the one with the most repeat viewings in my house, and I think like Simone and George will def enjoy it as they like Coen bros films. I'm sure folks will disagree, but "I'm ok, you're ok! That there's what it is!" 😆

Tee Pee

Raising Arizona is great!

zak

God Raising Arizona is amazing, one of the Cohen brothers, and Cage's, best films

Michael Johnson

Old School always cracks me up. Two of the most effortlessly funny people in Farrel and Vaughn

meadow anderson

little miss sunshine is such a beautiful film!!

soup3097

Meet the Parents is from 2000. Meet the Fockers is from 2004

overdev

Little Miss Sunshine is such a great movie, really underrated

Gary Trousdale

Mel Brooks is a funny guy, but his movies are so campy and self aware and obvious that not many of them are very funny. He was at his best when he co-wrote with Gene Wilder and came up with Young Frankenstein, probably his best and funniest work. Blazing Saddles is arguably one of his better ones but doesn’t hold up for me. The History of the World movies? I remember it was the first movie I walked out on. At a drive in in college. With beer. It’s THAT unfunny. My opinion, of course, your mileage may vary.

silverarrow06

Please guys, please vote for "Little Miss Sunshine"! Just a little push and we're getting this true gem of a movie the win it deserves! Please! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙈😊

sol stapleton

some recommendations: eraserhead 1977 martin 1977 the lighthouse 2019 mad god 2021

Random Nevermind

As always two movies that I would like to recommend: Memento American Hustle Thank you for reading that.

Troy Ross

I hope Raising Arizona is picked at some point. It is an absurd gem that I think you guys would enjoy. My all time favorite Nicholas Cage movie.

AstralCars

Kickstarting the multi-year campaign to get Hundreds Of Beavers (2024) to eventually win one of these comedy polls. My favorite movie of 2024 so far and easily one of the most inventive and hilarious comedies in years! Hey, you know what’s awesome?! Hundreds of Beavers! 🦫

NareikAC

Meet the parents is the only correct vote!

soup3097

So brutal Old School isnt gonna be top 2

Mycenaeus

Little Miss Sunshine and A Fish Called Wanda are both masterpieces, good to see that one of them has a real chance to win this poll.

Adam K

If Meet the Parents wins, I truly hope both will appreciate that the girlfriend is the true villain of this movie.

Civil Hooligan

History of the World pt 1 is my favorite Mel Brooks movie, its so quotable it's a shame it's underrated. "Nice, nice, not thrilling...but nice" Julius Cesar in History of the World.

Dan Holmes

can't believe shutter island didn't win the last one, cant believe a fish called wanda isn't winning this one, hopefully little miss sunshine does though they're all good :)

Travis H

I have recommended Little Miss Sunshine multiple times so I have to give it my full support, but I like/love every movie on this list! Future comedy recs: Game Night Bridesmaids Girls Trip Palm Springs

RipTheRipper

It's going to go down to the wire..come on LMS!

MPH

Raising Arizona is the best film on this list by far. Animal House is a culturally significant classic. Old School is hilarious. Meet the Parents is ok. Never saw the others.

Logan Nelson

Animal House wouldn't be well recieved, imo...

Spawncalibur

Meet the Parents came out in 2000. Skipped school and watched this being $2 a ticket a block a way. Went back a few times with friends as it was a small cinema going outta business. Memories lol anyways hope it wins.

Maddie

I need them to watch some Holly Hunter movies! Raising Arizona, Broadcast News, The Piano. I think all are up their alley!

Renee MeowMeow Beans

Just a few comedy recs, trying to limit to 3! (It's very difficult. 😆) Feel free to ignore completely. 😁 - Harold and Maude - Best in Show - His Girl Friday

Khan1001

Meet The Parents, also George & Simone, you need to watch SHOGUN ASAP, its the best series of 2024. I was going to watch the whole thing again but hoping you guys watch it so I can watch along, please, you wont be disappointed.

China Andronicus

Oh, PLEASE watch Little Miss Sunshine! That’s one of my absolute go-to films. Just phenomenal.

Adam K

Let’s do an M competition: - Michael Clayton - Million Dollar Baby - Momento - Molly’s Game - Mullholand Drive

UnlicensedOkie

Since you watched The Descended Y’all need to watch Dog Soldiers Same director British film

Dirge Girl

Pi (1998) -> Fallen (1998) Dark City (1998) What Dreams May Come (1998) Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)

Rachel W

Meet the Parents is a very vanilla comedy. Animal House is hilarious but has some problems w/some of the jokes that haven't aged well. Raising Arizona is freaking hilarious and doesn't have those issues. Also, Cohen Brothers.

Chris Adams

I hope they get to Black Dynamite, that movie is hilarious.

Daniel Bjork

History of the World getting so few votes is a tragedy

BoredLittleLady

I know I keep suggesting the same movies: Emma (2020), Instructions Not Included (2013). These comedies are very different but enjoyable.

Brendan Rafferty

I enjoyed Little Miss Sunshine… but it’s basically a reimagining of National Lampoon’s Vacation.

AC10

I don't like any of these... They have been around a while now... Are we finally running out of good movies to watch?

Bookwormy

For TV shows would love you to do Fall of the House of Usher, 8 episodes, based on Poe. Amazing,

Calvin

Raising Arizona is like the older cousin to Big Lebowski. Perfect casting for one of the most underrated comedy’s from the 80s.

Gerard DeLuca

History of the World is hilarious, loved it when I was a kid. But I can see it's going to come in dead last, so I guess it'll be a while.

Jared Jemison

Man, so many good options in this one. It's really a shame that some absolute bangers are going to have to wait for another day. Simone and George love the Cohen brothers, but Raising Arizona (My fave of theirs) can never win a poll.

Morion Williams

I am disappointed in the lack of votes for Animal House. Not only is it hilarious, and a statement to the decade it also set the standard for college comedies.

Ginger

Sad to see "History of the World Part 1" at the bottom here. It's so good. And it would open up "History of the World Part 2" as a mini series watch.

Ginger

Speaking of music and comedies: I'd like to suggest "Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny"

Sir Dongle

How is History of the World doing so poorly?

Eileen Monahan

I think these are all somewhat cult classics that are all so different, but all quirky and absurd in their own way. Little miss sunshine my first choice.

James Falato

This is a Cornucopia of Cinema... An Eclectic Selection of Fun Films...

howtocookazombie (Stan)

Movie suggestion: "K-Pax" from 2001. Not sure why (I think the movie is good), but it seems to be a relatively unknown movie. PS: George, do you think that maybe a list with suggested movies / tv series would be a good idea, so users know what has already been suggested? I saw that other people are doing a similar thing. They even linked it with IMDB somehow (users search for films, get results from IMDB and add it to your list if it's not already on it), so you automatically get a poster, release date, and so on.

Terdell Ferguson

Little Miss Sunshine will surprise you with how truly great it is. Understated perfection of story and performance by everyone. I really hope this one gets a nod.

soup3097

You should still react to Old School since its so close to 2nd in votes

Maerandir Eldar

Raising Arizona is the one and only movie I've ever liked Nicholas Cage in, and he absolutely KILLS it. It was also my first Cohen Brothers film.

Tay Goodson

If I had to recommend two movies that they still haven't seen then Annihilation (2018) and Big Fish (2003) are at the top of the list. Both of which I think they would love.

Sheens

Good God, you could take the top 4 here and not be disappointed in any of them. Great poll.

Simon Pegged Me

Thanks for putting Raising Arizona and History of the World Part I in the mix.

Jean-Dominic Lapointe

The only bone I really like in the list is History of the world, but I seem to be in the minority. I’m still curious to see which one will win the poll

Guy-on-Couch

There is no way anyone could tell me that Little Miss Sunshine is a funnier movie than Old School or Meet the Fockers

AlimonyMoney

One movie you need to watch, it has an all star cast of comedians, and where Americans learn the phrase Pirarie Dogging is Rat Race. Whoopy Goldberg, SethGreen, Mr.Bean, Cuba Jr., John Lovitz and Brecken Nyer. Its like the studio said lets put all these comdeians into a movie and lets see what happens. Pure Comdey gold.

Tom M

Come on old school please!

Dustin Duvall

Can we just agree now to do the top 3? Lol

Michael Kemmet

Ouch, I voted for two and they're the last and third to last vote getters. lol Come on, History of the World, Part 1 is a fantastic comedy. ;) (Part 2? There is no Part 2, and you won't convince me otherwise. :D)

MoulinNoir

a fish called wanda is dope imo, but i REALLY love their not-actually-a-sequel starring all the same people: Fierce Creatures

Terry Light

Old school was good, but never understood the over whelming appeal of it

JK

I love Little Miss Sunshine, but I fear Meet the Parents losing by less than 10 votes will be my Joker origin 😭

Chase Lonnergan

Just shows how out of touch my sense of comedy is with the rest of the group. My three picks got the lowest votes, and my three least favorites got the highest. My absolute least favorite won. Which is rather amusing to me...

Stephanie Bedworth

For a future drama poll, I would love to suggest The Fisher King. Fantastic cast, wonderful movie, and think you two would really be into it.
