Whoops!
Blacked out for a moment.
But anyway, here is our list of the best comedy movies on Netflix.
Dont Think Twice
Our cultures appetite for comedy has never been more voracious.
The premise is just so killer that you cant conceive of why its taken so long to get here.
What ifThe Omenwere a comedy?
Adam Scott stars as a man named Gary who loves his new wife Samantha (Evangeline Lily).
Namely thats hes clearly the son of the devil.
Which would make sense as Samantha was in a cult in her wild younger years.
She likes aspects of each of them but not any one of them entirely.
It all makes sense under his stewardship and Johns command of her character.
Gillian Jacobs (Britta onCommunity, Gary Marshalls wife onComedy Bang!
While there Leah and Nikki (mostly Leah) convince her to ditch work and fly to Ibiza.
Take a quick guess what its about!
Zack (Seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) are childhood friends living together in Pittsburgh.
That something is to produce a porno in the coffee shop that Zack works at.
Zack and Miri Make a Pornois probably writer/director Kevin Smiths best post Jay and Silent Bob era works.
It has a ton of heart and in a perverse way captures the joy of movie making.
ButThe Holy Grailreally may be Monty Pythons masterpiece…and Holy Grail.
Monty Python and the Holy Grailis absolutely bonkers and deliriously funny from beginning to end.
Thankfully, thats exactly what Netflix decides to do withWine Country.
Believe it or not, that premise goes quite a long way.
Step Brothersis kind of a minor comedy classic that has launched countless catchphrases and memes.
Did we just become best friends?
Myers stars as both 60s superspy Austin Powers and his evil archnemesis, the fittingly named Dr.
Evil escapes Austins grasp, he cryogenically freezes himself so he can terrorize the future.
Austin Powersis both an effective James Bond spy parody and just a uniquely silly creation.
The Naked Gun
Hey, who is that handsome guy on the left?
Wonder why he never became a bigger star.
The secret toNaked Guns success isnt a secret at all.
So they set out on an epic journey through central and southern New Jersey to get some.
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castleis simple and crass, yes, but its also quietly revolutionary.
Its amazing what you could accomplish with a little weed and some terrible sliders.
The Other Guys
Everybody loves action hero cops.
But behind every action hero cop is a police department filled with…well, other guys.
2010s action comedyThe Other Guystells the story of two of those other guys.
The Interview
The Interviewis likely best known for the controversy that rose up around it.
While its hard to top the absurdity and drama of all that, the film itself is quite good!
Franco stars as talk show host Dave Skylark and Rogen as his producer Aaron Rapaport.
Going to North Korea to interview its secretive dictator seems to be the get of a lifetime.
But the CIA has some other ideas for how said interview will go.
