since we did so well with the 00s...

ten best comedies of the 90s:

in no particular order -
There's Something About Mary
Dazed and Confused (a comedy? apparently I think so...)
The Big Lebowski
South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut
Dumb and Dumber
Swingers
Office Space
Naked Gun 2&1/2
Hot Shots
Waiting for Guffman

Sorry, no Groundhog Day on my list ... it's getting a little tricky here b/c it's easier to remember ones on other people's lists that I really did not like (Chasing Amy) than it is to differentiate between the 'I liked it but I can't remember how much' movies.

you da man, J Pearlman

There is ONE GUY on all of espn.com who picked this year's Final Four right....out of 5.9 million entries. His name is J Pearlman and he belongs to the strangely- named but nonetheless prophetic pool 'we're in it to win it.' There are six people in his pool...his brother Aaron Pearlman it looks like and then 4 others, one of whom has a bleeped out profanity in his title. I tried to guess their login just so I could go on their message board and read "holy sh$t, J!! ... you're winning the pool ... like in the whole freakin' country!!!...ps did you get Mom a birthday card? -- Aaron'

Look at this guy, staying after practice to work on his foul shots

Comedy in the '00s

I'm over a year late on this post but a family viewing of Meet the Parents last night got me thinking that MTP probably belongs in the top 10 comedies of the '00s. DeNiro steals the show as Jack Byrnes, with the 'drive to the pharmacy' scene chock full of comedy genius:

"You see, Greg, when you yell at a dog, his tail will go between his legs and cover his genitals, his ears will go down. A dog is very easy to break, but cats make you work for their affection. They don't sell out the way dogs do."

I don't know about rank order but if we're using the simplest metric "how much did I laugh?" then Borat, Tropic Thunder, Team America: World Police, 40-year-old Virgin, Wedding Crashers, the Hangover, Old School, Napoleon Dynamite, Wet Hot American Summer might round out my top 10. This leaves off the second tier of Will Ferrell vehicles, a lot of Apatow hits and certainly some indie films I either didn't see or can't remember so help me out.
