Ended with 57, which is 7 more than I thought I was going to end the challenge with. Still shy of 3 titles to reach my personal goal of 60 though. My list is final, I won't be returning to modify it. Now to shift gears to 100% holiday movies.

I received my Netflix disc of Your Highness yesterday but dozed off early last night and didn't get it onto my list (insert your own joke about the movie here). Still, a decent total for me with several first-time viewings that themselves make it worth it. Thanks for starting this new challenge!

Trevor

As I imagined; the frantic last minute wedding planning, wedding, honeymoon, and still-ongoing move prevented me from watching much TV in November. I don't think I saw more than an hour a day on average, and that was probably much more than I should have watched!

I did follow the thread and think funny thoughts as often as possible. The checklist and themes were screaming for me, but I had to resist. Next year I'm hopefully all in.

Watched more Good Luck Charlie than I ever thought I would. Will try to update my list at some point, fwiw, although I'll didn't take notes on what I watched, and my usual method of documenting, keeping all my Challenge discs in a pile untill I update my list, won't work this month because of the disaster of the ongoing move to Maryland.

Big thanks to takingchase for fighting through his busy schedule and running this thing. I'm glad you got it going, and imagine it will be a very popular Challenge at DVDTalk for years.

My list is finalized.

BobO'Link

My list is final - 139 total. I'd hoped to make it an even 140 but sleep caught up with me and thwarted the effort...

I, too, watched all 10 of the Ma & Pa Kettle films. It's been *years* since I'd seen many of those, especially the last 2. I was surprised at how funny they (the last 2) actually were. My recollections of them were that they were pale imitations of the originals. I especially enjoyed The Kettles in the Ozarks. Much funnier than I remembered.

My only regret is that I didn't make time to watch all the Marx Brothers films. I'd initially intended to do just that but I concentrated on "no duplicate" checklists and let the time slip away. I *did* manage to watch all but one of the Road Films of Hope/Crosby and most of Mel Brooks output so it wasn't a total waste.

This is *another* challenge I'll be looking forward to repeating.

Dimension X

Thanks takingchase for this great addition to the Challenge Schedule (it fits perfectly between the other two established challenges).

I finished up with 31 entries (25 movies and 26 TV eps). I was hoping to finally open and watch a few box sets, but I started late on that project (I still have a few Jerry Lewis films to watch before I switch over to Christmas movies). Maybe next year.

It's a great challenge takingchase. Unfortunately I didn't do quite as well as the Horror challenge. I certainly expected to watch more than I did. Hopefully I'll do much better next year

I am gonna try and come up with some prizes this weekend guys...I know there was at least one suggestion in here so I will re-check the thread. Check the hamiltonbook.com site under movies/comedy if you want to make some suggestions.

Giles

kudo's to takingchase for hosting this challenge I really had a great deal of fun with this challenge - I really didn't really realize how broad this genre was - caught up on both the movies and tv shows (in regards to the latter, I have to seek out more episodes of Last of the Summer Wine) - given how busy the month of November is for me, I did pretty well - the week off to see family in Iowa greatly diminished the number of entries in the challenge - but hey at least we all got to see the new Muppet movie

20 films / 45 tv episodes / 4 misc.

Indy24LA

I had fun with this challege as well. Only got to 24, but I did comedy for my "Make Your Own Challege", so I knew I would take it easier with this one. Plus there was tons of football and college basketball on. Best thing I did during this challege was go see Daniel Tosh live here in Charlotte.

Giles

you know that you can use that as a "wild card" and include it as a challenge entry. Daniel's a riot btw, was he good?

Indy24LA

Thanks, I did not know that. He was great and the opening act, Tommy Johnagin, was almost as funny.

Giles

as I can tell, hardly anyone used their wild cards - what's up with that??

Ash Ketchum

You just reminded me of one I saw that I can use for a wild card. I'm going to add it now.

So now I'm up to 59 and my list is final.

Greg MacGuffin

I guess I've always been shaky on what a wild card is for. In a comedy challenge, you watch comedies, in a horror challenge, you watch horror flicks, etc.

I don't have any issues with other people using them, but I might be missing their purpose?

BobO'Link

McHale's Navy S3 would be a title I'd like to win (I don't recall seeing S4). The Benny Hill sets you have listed would also make good prizes for those who like his humor. I looked at TV shows when you initially asked for suggestions but just forgot to post anything and didn't really look at the movies but will try to do that later.

I know we say it all the time but Hamilton Books support is *greatly* appreciated! The fact that you're a "regular" around here is nice too.

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

The only reason I could think of one being used for this challenge are for unintentional comedies.

wishbone

Just like some titles might be more suspense, thriller, etc., than horror I imagine that some titles might be more drama, action, etc., than comedy. Using imdb as a resource for determining genres is a good baseline but what makes Bad Boys more of a comedy due to its comedic elements than a title like True Lies?

BobO'Link

Here are more suggestions from that list and a few from a general "comedy" search - no particular order:

EVIL BONG
TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL COLLECTION
THE THREE STOOGES IN ORBIT
SGT. BILKO--THE PHIL SILVERS SHOW: 50th Anniversary Edition.
MAE WEST: The Glamour Collection
DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE
DOCTOR AT SEA
BLONDIE
COMEDY CLASSICS: The Keystone Kops, the East Side Kids, Fatty Arbuckle and Many More!

I don't know about everyone else, but I don't own any of these and would welcome any of them in my collection.

Ash Ketchum

Ditto -esp. these:

Giles

it's just to bump up your final list number - I used one on a 3 minute short.

no but generally I like using wild cards on the theater stuff I see that isn't technically 'film'/'video' based. For the next animation challenge I'm going to add my animation work (YouTube link) I had done at a summer session at RISD.

GoldenWheels

I like this list. I am going to pull a few today and combine it with some MSTK I had sitting on my desk. Will let you guys know soon.

GoldenWheels

OK for prizes we have:

Comedy Classics 100 Movie Set

Mae West: The Glamour Collection

Sgt. Bilko: The Phil Silvers 50th Anniversary Edition

Mystery Science Theater 3000 XXII: Time of the Apes/Mighty Jack/Violent Years/Brute Man

As always, I have 0 input in who gets what or how. However you guys decide this one, just let me know the winners and their addresses. (Normally when you are notified you won you just pm the challenge runner your address and he passes it on to me).

Congrats to whoever wins and it looks like this was a very successful inaugural challenge!

GoldenWheels

I am glad to be a part of these challenges and this board as it has been an INVALUABLE resource for me. In one place I can come and save money (lizards amazon thread, though "saving" when spending more money I might not have except for his thread is an oxymoron I guess!), check my competition's rates (big lots thread, DD sales thread, etc), and talk movies with other fans (horror challenge was a blast).

I know ten times more about DVDs than when I started thanks to this place!

Cardsfan111

Thanks GoldenWheels!

I noticed takingchase hasn't posted in seveal weeks. I sent him a PM (assuming that may also send him an e-mail) regarding the prizes.
