Happiest SeasonД¬lea DuVall co-wrote and directed this holiday rom-com with a twist. Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe co-star, co-wrote, and co-directed, and this already feels like a film destined for a cult following. A deeply satirical and deeply strange comedy, this is kind of like a comedy from early in the career of Tim Burton with its exaggerated examination of suburban culture. Greener GrassДo you like your comedies weird? Like, John Waters weird? Then this one is for you. You know how the Academy Awards never include any comedy performances? This one won an Oscar for Kevin Kline, who is simply impossible to deny. The story of a jewel robbery gone very wrong, the barrister who gets involved, and the fish that gets caught in the middle is regularly included on any short list of the funniest movies ever made. Movies simply donвЂ™t get much funnier than this Oscar winner starring John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline, and Michael Palin.

How even jealousy impacts friendship is smartly examined in this funny, empathetic movie that also stars Gillian Jacobs, Kate Micucci, and Keegan-Michael Key. HeвЂ™s a member of a group of comedians in New York City who watches as one of them becomes famous вЂ¦ while the others do not. Mike Birbiglia directs, writes, and stars in one of the better movies about improv comedy. Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Ted Knight, and Rodney Dangerfield werenвЂ™t just hysterical here, they were all perfectly cast to play off their comedy reputations. This one definitely has some funny dialogue and one-liners, but itвЂ™s also a phenomenal example of how far casting can go to make a classic comedy. One of the most quotable comedies of all time makes its way to Netflix to encourage young subscribers to watch movies made before 1990. Often described as вЂњ Superbad with girls,вЂќ this is destined to be a cult classic. Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever star as lifelong friends who learn on the last day of school that their priorities may have been a bit out of whack - so, determined to make up for lost time, they have a wild and crazy night. Olivia WildeвЂ™s directorial debut is one of the smartest and straight-up funniest comedies in years. Alicia Silverstone, Sissy Spacek, and Christopher Walken co-star.

Take Blast From the Past, a relatively slight but undeniably sweet romantic comedy from 1999 in which Fraser does a riff on his awkward man-child routine as a man who spent his entire life in a fallout shelter and learned how to interact from classic TV. There was a time when Brendan Fraser was one of the most likable comedy stars in the world and could elevate forgettable material. It may not hold together as well as the first film, but itвЂ™s got enough laughs to justify a look. Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves return in the title roles as the guys essentially pass the torch down to their kids, played by Samara Weaving and Brigette Lundy-Paine. It took almost three decades, but Bill and Ted finally returned in 2020 with this sweet and clever film about everyoneвЂ™s favorite time travelers. Davidson is clever and funny in a film that captures how maturity comes at a different age for everyone. Jason Orley makes his writing and directing debut with this Sundance premiere that stars Griffin Gluck as a kid whose best friend happens to be that older dude with no focus in his life that your parents told you to avoid. Big Time AdolescenceДЄlong with The King of Staten Island, this is the second Pete Davidson coming-of-age story released in 2020. Give it five minutes and youвЂ™ll know if itвЂ™s for you. ItвЂ™s a comedy thatвЂ™s high on the quirkiness but will absolutely work for viewers on its loony wavelength. Originally scheduled for a 2020 release, the Annie Mumolo and Kristen Wiig comedy was delayed due to the pandemic, dropping on VOD back in February 2021. ItвЂ™s a sweet movie that also boasts a solid supporting performance from Fred Armisen. Premiered at Sundance 2017, the film is also notable for featuring a mostly female crew. Zoe Lister-Jones made her directorial debut with a clever comedy about a couple (Lister-Jones and Adam Pally) who decide to turn their fights in songs. It reminds one how sad it is that Cameron Diaz has retired she was hysterical with material worthy of her talents and often elevated films that werenвЂ™t. Bad Teacher is the story of, yes, a foul-mouthed middle school teacher who is very bad at her job. Jake KasdanвЂ™s 2011 comedy has found a loyal audience on Netflix, who have regularly returned it to the top ten offerings on the service. Writer-director Riley Stearns isnвЂ™t afraid to go there in a movie that doesnвЂ™t always work but takes enough genuine risks to justify its missteps. He discovers a strange community there led by a controlling master, played by Alessandro Nivola. Premiering at SXSW in 2019, this is probably the darkest comedy on this list, the story of a shy young man (Jesse Eisenberg) who goes to a martial-arts class to gain a little courage.
