I laughed so much some per came out
Sounds dangerous. I like to retain all my per, you never know when you might need some in a hurry.
Bloody predictive text 😆

Not sure if its funnyness is entirely intentional. It's from that era in the 1980s (after Life of Brian and before Four Weddings) when the British film industry was pretty much funded by George Harrison.
It's got an 'interesting' ensemble cast featuring Michael Caine, Billy Connolly, Fulton Mackay, Leonard Rossiter (I think it might have been his final performance on film), Ruby Wax and, er, Ringo Starr (playing himself).
Billy Connolly plays a half-Caribbean revolutionary who only communicates via the medium of reggae, sung in a Scottish accent. Can't figure out why this one didn't set the box office ablaze.
Coast to Coast, Lenny Henry, John Shea. 1986/7 ish,
It still tickles me when I see it.
In a World... set in the cutthroat world of movie trailer voice overs.
Hot Tub Time Machine.

@ Alanl
Lenny Henry being funny ( post TISWAS ) I gotta see that, to believe it !!
I'd recommend
The Castle
The Guard
Housebound
and obviously, Fist of Jesus
That Sinking Feeling
Restless Natives
Heavenly Pursuits
That's a lot of tomato soup in Fist of Jesus
The black and white Billy Liar, Tom Courtenay ang Julie Christie, oh and a youngish Leonard Rossiter.............its brill !!!
O' Horten. Brimming with charm and a clever, gentle humour missing in much of today's filmage. I fell in love with it.
At the other end of the scale is an Adam Sandler 'buddy' film. That description in itself would normally send me reaching for the off button but I really enjoyed this emotional cheesefest. Everything from marital meltdown life crises to hot psychotherapists and nympho-psycho all the way to a motorised mini-scooter journey through New York and a bit of Shadow Of The Colossus button-mashing. Entertaining.
Kentucky Fried Movie, I hardly meet anyone thats saw it.
Eagle Vs Shark
Kentucky Fried Movie
One of those films i always mean to get round to watching. I have the dvd and it is still sealed. Is it any good?
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid
I don't think its been shown on TV for years, it's possibly the only Steve Martin film where he's funny without being a gurning idiot.
Brilliant usage of classic noir movie footage cut with modern stuff.
Genius.
Kentucky Fried Movie, I hardly meet anyone thats saw it.
Ooh I have - a long time ago. Seem to remember a shower scene....
Ah, Billy Liar. Every time we / I go to london, I insist on doing that speech. Never gets boring. My kids may disagree.
30 Minutes or Less. Cracking film.
Klovn. Mentally funny Danish film.
kung-pow always makes me laugh
Office space
+1 for The Guard.
Welcome To Woop Woop. From the same director as Priscilla Queen of The Desert - a small time American crook goes to Austrialia and promises a woman that he'd love her forever. She decks him and he wakes up married in the town of Woop Woop.
A sweary clip - NSFW
The trailer -
Watching it will make you as happy as a bastard on Father's Day. 😉
The Gods must be Crazy and the second film in the series are hilarious. And the 2nd film even features a Honey Badger who steals the show. 🙂

If you want to see a very offbeat, obscene, grotesque, rude and downright hilarious Birtish Comedy Horror, keep and eye open for "The Revenge of Billy the Kid".
Now what old goat did that?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102783/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
Fear Of A Black Hat.
Rap version of spinal tap..,but funnier.
Sightseers (2012 ) Dark British Humour
Revenge of billy the kid is amazing.
The Macdonald family. Each one called Ronald.
"A bit of lardy lubrication"
I'm Gonna Git You Sucka
Although haven't seen it for a while and may be poop now
+1 for Sightseers - dark and very funny. Might put you of caravans!
No love for Dark Star?
Freddy got fingered, the 'farmer' scene and backwards man never fail to crease me up!
The Castle (best oz movie ever)
Just watched that French film 'untouchable', fantastic, not sure if it's famous or not though, certainly funny
Idiocracy. Jaberwocky. Black Dynamite. American Movie.

One of the worst films I've ever seen.
Dark Star
Bad Taste
Spaceballs.

Very funny if you like Airplane, Saturday night live type of thing. Very much of its time though.
Seem to remember a shower scene....
😯 😛
Rita, Sue and Bob Too
Galaxy Quest
Seeing as someone mentioned 'Sightseers':
'Nuts In May' by Mike Leigh.
Lost count of the times I've gurned and hooted with delight at terminally uptight Keith Pratt failing to hold in his apoplexy before turning a nice peaceful Dorset campsite into a primal battleground.
The perfect British comedy, sparkling with both understated and overt comic genius.

Should be awful.
Actually pretty funny and a couple of cracking tunes too.

Twin Town is worth a watch.
I quite enjoyed Cockneys vs Zombies, if only for Dudley Sutton's made up rhyming slang.

Death at a funeral (British version) very funny.
Billy Connolly plays a half-Caribbean revolutionary who only communicates via the medium of reggae, sung in a Scottish accent. Can't figure out why this one didn't set the box office ablaze.
Here's your answer:
Billy Connolly
Billy Liar
Good adaptation of a funny book, and Julie Christie is absolutely magically beautiful 🙂
Kick Ass
What we do in the shaddows had some genuine lolz.
Trailer makes it look rubbish though.
Dogma.

Except thats pretty famous...
Slap Shot very funny even if you dont like hockey.
I caught half of this on some backwater US TV channel or other one afternoon when I was on holiday.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibes_(film)
Jeff Goldblum, Peter Falk, Cyndi Lauper and the bloke who played Warlock. Has a score of 6% on Rotten Tomatoes. And it is [i]hilarious,[/i] I was giggling like a small boy whose teacher had just said "bum" all the way through it.
Dead Snow
This is the funniest least known film
Evil Roy Slade
with John Astin from the adams family, so funny.
uo oh wait, it might actually be
Kingpin
with Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray
both extremely funny
Except thats pretty famous...
Grossed a lot less than what we do in the shadows.

Fear Of A Black Hat.
I was starting to think I'd imagined that film. I haven't seen it in about 20 years.
Another vote for the Guard
Happiness, though somewhat of an acquired taste as it's so, so bleak for a comedy.
+1 for Les Visiteurs, and Dark Star.
And let me add a guilty one: Hudson Hawk.
I like cheesey one-liners. And Richard E Grant. And conflicted sexy nuns on drugs speaking dolphinese, and 'Hey mister, are you gonna die?':
Super Troopers

The first was watched through-out university by me and my flatmates.
The second has been every year since.
I saw Kinky Boots yesterday. Based on a true story. It made me laugh.
JOE DIRT.....'right on brother'.. my kind of humour 🙂
'Enough Said'. Yes it's a rom-com, but James Gandolfini!
The Missionary. 🙂
