Abstain - Haven't seen Wet Hot American Summer.
Spaceballs - No contest.
Kingpin - Hilarious and I never was a Dazed fan.
Pee Wee's Big Adventure - Funny and frightening.
The Princess Bride - Sort of a tossup for me, not the biggest fan of either.
The Jerk - By a nose.
Scrooged - Not even close.
Royal Tenenbaums - Ace Ventura 2 was awful, imo.
Abstain - Haven't seen Horsefeathers.
Police Academy - I haven't gotten into Broken Lizard movies.
Old School - I know AH is the classic, but I laugh at Old School every time I see it.

Funny that Police Academy and Super Troopers are head to head, and currently (at 11-11) tied.

I voted for all 4 Bill Murray movies in this one. Its nice to see 3 of them winning at least but I admit to being surprised seeing Dazed beating Kingpin. I like both but Dazed dosen't really deliver in the laughs department

I think I'm one of the few people that doesn't enjoy Spaceballs. It was all set up to be a top comedy for me. I love parody/spoof films, I love the cast, I love Star Wars and want to see it spoofed. But Mel Brooks is very hit or miss for me, and this one is completely unfunny.

I don't find it funny at all; I'm surprised it got such a high seeding. Mel Brooks' comedies can be great, but his worst are just awful. Spaceballs is among the awful.

Me neither. What's with these weird, obscure, nominations?

I'm reminded how little interest I have in comedies. I haven't seen all of these movies, and don't really care about most of the ones I have seen. And the few I do really enjoy...are being trounced in this poll.

Sorry; while The Princess Bride is the superior movie, Superbad is far and away a funnier movie. And Aaron Eckhart is absolutely brilliant in Thank You for Smoking.

You sound elitist (like me!), but then praise the stupidest raunchy comedy in the list.
