Debate Society

Why They're Here:

  • Animal House: Who doesn't want to pledge Delta Tau Chi after watching this? Another frat party, ugh.
  • Old School: You're my boy, Blue! I saw this, it was called Animal House…or PCU…or Revenge of the Nerds.
  • The Hangover: It's perfectly crass and smartly raunchy - a rare achievement that should be celebrated. Overly obnoxious characters and some celebrity cameos, meh.
  • Bridesmaids: Breakthrough in so many ways. Wiig dominates. Is this a Rom Com or just a Rom?
  • Office Space: Instant classic for anyone who has ever had a job. Kinda gives up at the end and mails it in.
  • Ted: Pulled off a fantastic concept. Makes you wish you'd thought of it. Mostly one note the entire time, made it feel like it was the middle of the movie for the whole movie.
  • Billy Madison: Adam Sandler at his peak. O'Doyle Rules! Totally wastes Norm MacDonald.
  • Naked Gun: Leslie Nielsen is historically underappreciated. I can't watch Nordberg, you know, after all the killings.
  • Anchorman: You can buy Sex Panther on Amazon, because, well you should be able to buy Sex Panther on Amazon. Is this a movie or a skit that is 2 hours long?
  • Blazing Saddles: Mel Brooks made the funniest social commentary ever. Oscar-worthy. Westerns aren't funny.
  • Borat: So uncomfortable and so great. Only Sacha Baron Cohen could pull this off. Just mocks people to their faces.
  • Superbad: Hilariously defines what it was like to be a loser in high school, you know, what we all were. Kinda aimless and unfunny.
  • Dodgeball: Takes the concept of a guy getting hit in the balls 100 times and makes it funny each time. Vince Vaughn plays, well, Vince Vaughn.
  • South Park - Bigger, Longer, Uncut: Trey and Matt uncensored? Yes please! I got enough fart and poop jokes from the TV show
  • The Jerk: The world is better with Steve Martin in it. How do I get my hands on an Opti-Grab? It was long and boring. Maybe when the dog 'Life Saver' turned to 'Shit Head' was funny?
  • 21 Jump Street: It's solid from start to finish and overlooked because of the name. This made the top 32 list?
  • Caddyshack: Cinderella story? No, this was a heavyweight from day one of shooting. The gopher prop/character ruined it.
  • Something About Mary: They made a joke about having jizz in someone's hair mainstream. Kudos. Do we really need to see 'frank and beans' like that? Really?
  • Step Brothers: I could watch Brennan and Dale do pretty much anything. They had to sink to licking white dog poop. Come on.
  • Wedding Crashers: Defines 'bawdy summer comedy', think they had as much fun making it as it was to watch. I guess there were some mild chuckles in there. Maybe when Will Ferrell saved it?
  • Talladega Nights: Shake and Bake. Mike Honcho. NASCAR. Enough said. Shake and Bake. Mike Honcho. NASCAR. Enough said.
  • Tommy Boy: Thank you for this movie, Chris Farley. Rest In Peace, fat guy in a little coat. Pretty weak on the script as a whole.
  • Dumb and Dumber: Llloyd Christmas - dopey and stupid and totally perfect. Dumb and Dumber? Nah, it's just dumb.
  • Slap Shot: Paul Newman has guts and pulls off arguably the best sports movie ever. Outside of the Hanson Brothers, what's funny?
  • Holy Grail: Where do you even start? Smart. Original at every turn. Plus, they pulled off the coconut gag for the WHOLE movie. Nonsensical and weird.
  • Airplane: Zucker's at their best. Defined quoteable movies. Wait, what's the movie actually about?
  • Big Lebowski: The Dude. Don't we all wish we could bowl a frame with him? The Dud. Go away.
  • Vacation: If you don't like this movie, you're humorless. Mostly just a bunch of gags.
  • Best in Show: An ensemble cast that is poetry in motion. Mock-u-mentary was better done in Spinal Tap.
  • Meet the Parents: Cringe-worthy moments from beginning to end captures what it's like to endure a weekend with the in-laws. More of a garden-variety sitcom.
  • Kingpin: Big Ern deserves his own movie. Just, well, gross.
  • Austin Powers: It's a silly spoof that totally works end to end. Anyone else get tired of Austin shouting 'Yeah, Baby' randomly?
