What? You mean that Fussy is doing porn comedies? ;D

Anywho, 'Blazing Saddles" is one of my all times favorites too. I would also include "Young Frankenstein", "Airplane", "The Naked Gun", "Sleeper", "The Blues Brothers", "Caddyshack", and "Jumping Jacks" (if you can stand Jerry Lewis' screaming).

Comedy films and movies... hmmm. I like some weird, stuff that nobody seems to go crazy over. Firstly, I thought The Cable Guy was one of the best comedies made in the 90s. Yeah. I can't help being that comedically-challenged!

Aside from The Cable Guy, here are some more that popped into mind:

What About Bob?
Crazy People
Welcome To The Dollhouse (dark humour everywhere!)
Buffalo '66 (another indie with lotsa dark humour!)

... and there are the regular comedy classics like:

Animal House
Real Genius (is it just me, or is Val Kilmer like hot ??? :) :D ;D ;) )
Life Stinks
Airplane!

Plus, a lot of the films mentioned above.

I reckon he should do Spaceballs Episodes I..III as prequels, too

I love comedy films, and it'd be difficult to choose... but off the top of my head:

Monty Python's Life of Brian
Blazing Saddles
Airplane
The Naked Gun
Carry on up the Khyber/Carry on Screaming
Spinal Tap (on a scale of 1-10, this one goes up to 11)
Can I include the Lethal Weapon films?
To Be Or Not To Be - if only for the scene where he walks into the English pub as Hitler
The Man With Two Brains
The first twenty minutes of Good Morning Vietnam
Porridge - The Movie
Zorro - The Gay Blade

I guess I'd better stop....

which version?  The original Jack Benny version, or the Mel Brooks remake in which he literally goes scene by scene the same?
