Top Ten Comedic Films

The following are my favorite comedies. I've also included a few of my favorite quotes just for fun.

1. BILLY MADISON

2. SUPERBAD
- "She said mama's making a pubie salad and she wants Seth's own dressing" - "I got to catch a glimpse of these warlocks" - "And one bottle of spermicidal lube? That's psycho shit"

3. STEALING HARVARD
- "I'm not liquid. I'm not...liquid" - "No skipping any numbers. Or counting in base 8" - "Oh, yeah? Well maybe you'd like to define the word "weapon' for me while this plastic doll smashes into your temple at 180 miles per hour." - "Elaine... I like her. I like her a lot, John. But she's a bitch! She's a dirty, dumb bitch."

4. THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN
- "If I have to hear "Yamo Be There" one more time, I'm going to "Yamo" burn this place to the ground." - "You know how I know you're gay? You have a rainbow bumper sticker on your car that says 'I love it when balls are in my face' "..."That's gay?" - "How many pots have you smoked? How many times have you gone to the bathroom in your life?"

7. AMERICAN PIE
- Basically everything Stifler says.

8. ROAD TRIP
- "What else am I going to do, stay here and learn? ...road trip." - "Is there anything else I can help you with? Perhaps you'd like an 11-year old prostitute sent to your room. We can do that. Or maybe we can off someone for you. Huh? How's that sound? I've got it. Why don't we start small? Would you like a fresh towel? Maybe you could roll that up and smoke it." - "If you're too wasted to remember- it is not cheating. Because if you can't really remember it, it never really took place."

9. SAVING SILVERMAN
- "You've been pinching loaves on the lawn? I play croquet out there!" - "Hey, I brought you some more videos. You've got your choice: porno's or monster trucks. Oh, and I got one that's both."

10. LOSER
- "Could you maintain a rod and watch Billy Crystal at the same time? Nah, don't feel bad. No one can." - "That is a great hat! Did the producers of Fargo have a garage sale?"
