The great thing about comedies is there are such wildly varying lists. What one person finds hilariously funny another finds incredibly stupid. A lot of the ones listed on here I thought were just painful to watch.
My list:
1. Wedding Singer
2. Better Off Dead
3. Fletch Lives
4. There's Something About Mary
5. Clerks or Office Space
