I'm having a bit of a sad day, twisted my knee in the snow and feeling a bit lonely. I want to watch something really funny to cheer myself up. Please send your recommendations this way.

I watched Tag on Netflix last night - laughed more at that than I had in a long time 😁

Camphillgirl · 14/01/2021 21:31

Ruthless people Danny de Vito and Bette Midler

AmandaHoldensLips · 14/01/2021 21:34

Cheech and Chong films.

GlumyGloomer · 14/01/2021 21:36

Another vote for Monty Python and the holy grail. It's an old one but Mad Mad World is also hilarious.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 14/01/2021 21:53

The Man With Two Brains (if you like Steve Martin)

The Wedding Singer ( I love Adam Sandler)

40 Year Old Virgin (though I haven't got beyond the waxing scene DH loves this film)

Inbetweeners 1&2
21 & 22 Jump Street

TJ17 · 14/01/2021 21:57

Oh and Bridesmaids!
And Identity Thief (and anything with Melissa McCarthy in!)

Gertrudetheadelie · 14/01/2021 22:04

By Grabthar's hammer, it's Galaxy Quest! Grin

Some Like It Hot is also brilliant.

Strokethefurrywall · 14/01/2021 22:06

And another for Hot Fuzz and A Million Ways To Die In The West.

Sarahlou63 · 14/01/2021 22:17

Oh, I'd forgotten Top Secret! Cows in wellies made me howl! And Paul - the one with the Alien and the guys from Hot Fuzz (look out for the scene with the deceased bird ;) )

Dumb and Dumber

Chanandlerbong01 · 14/01/2021 22:19

The hangover

LoveFall · 14/01/2021 22:20

Another vote for The Money Pit. Especially if you have ever done any home improvement/renovation. I love the constant answer to how long something will take. "Two weeks." I don't know how many times we heard the same thing.

PangoPurrl · 14/01/2021 22:21

Dr. Strangelove.
Return of the Pink Panther.
Aww, so lovely to see Some Like it Hot mentioned so many times, so funny and just an utterly lovely film.

Luckyelephant1 · 14/01/2021 22:22

For stupid slapstick- Rat Race is hilarious
White Chicks never fails to cheer me up

AriesTheRam · 14/01/2021 22:23
