There are none of the movies I would rate as 'funniest' on the entire list!
Junvenile does not = funny in my book.
Well, damn it DS, you are not allowed to just attack the question without providing an alternative answer. What are YOUR top three funny movies, and what makes them funny?? I assume that you are just stating a preference for more sophisticated comedies/dramadies, but I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't think AIRPLANE and NAKED GUN are friggin hilarious!!
OH, by the way, my current top 3 are:
1. The Big Lebowski (the most witty take on the laid-back California lifestyle ever written!!)
2. Old School (the BEST of the juvenile movies in the last 15 years...and juvenile DOES = FUNNY!!)
3. Office Space (extremely intelligent and witty take on corporate life)
With Monty Python and the Holy Graille and History of the World, Part I with honerable considerations!!
ALSO, just as an aside, there is a voting site on IMDB, THE imminent movie site on the internet, where hundreds of thousands of people have voted for their favorite movies. According to that site, the top comedies of all time are:

Note that thislist DOES include CARTOONS and dramadies, but doesn't include dark comedies like Fargo and Pulp Fiction for some reason!!
