Re: Comedies that weren't funny
Spaceballs hasn't aged well. It's really not a good film, but it does have some great lines. I also remember loving Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Tried to watch that recently (haven't seen it in probably 15 years), and man what a terrible fucking movie. 
I'll also agree with Idiocracy. Love the premise but only made it about 30 minutes in without a laugh to be had.
More recently? I found Ted highly overrated. Once you get over the cursing bear in the first 5 minutes, it's a paint by numbers rom-com.

Re: Comedies that weren't funny
I'm going to take some heat for this one, but here goes...
I'd never seen ANCHORMAN, but since the sequel is coming, I figured it was about time to check it out...
It's AWFUL! Like the worst episode of SNL you can think of - just horrible. I have no idea why anyone would want to see a sequel.

I know Hall Pass got a lot of hate, but I actually thought parts of that movie had some good laughs. The cast wasn't bad either.

Lebowski was not a laugh a minute...but it did have some corkers. The cup to the face after being told he wasnt listening always cracks me up.

Re: Comedies that weren't funny
I saw The Big Lebowski in the theater when it first came out and absolutely hated it! Several years later I gave it another shot on DVD and thought it was hilarious.
I've changed my opinion on movies in the past but I can't think of another example where I've done a complete 180 like that before.

Re: Comedies that weren't funny
I saw the first, and laughed perhaps once. I was shocked it was such an accepted hit. So I figured I'd give it another chance, and watched part 2, which was even worse. Even diehard fans of the first one say the 3rd is shite, so I won't be wasting any time with that one.

The first Hangover was hilarious, second not so much, third wasn't even a comedy I don't think.

ok, you caught me. I didn't see the third.

Shallow Hal
You Me and Dupree-Believe it or not, they advertised this as a comedy.
Any movie staring Adam Sandler and Jim Carey from the last 13 years.
Woody Allen films during and after Annie Hall.
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World-Too many cooks ruined the stew.
Casino Royale(60's)-It starts out bad and it only gets worse.
