Or another title? I personally would have a hard time picking one of the 3 I mentioned as #1 of the genre. Probably Caddyshack  

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

i have Blazing Saddles ahead of YF, but only because I havent seen YF... I think I am bachelor tomorrow night so maybe I will see if its on amazon or netflix and determine if that changes my rankings. 


Wait, you haven't seen YF yet? Dude...

Animal House is my favorite of those listed. Caddyshack and Stripes are good too.

Blazing Saddles.

But if we're just randomly thinking of comedies we love, I'd have to mention Tommy Boy.

Thats like asking what do I like more, Pizza, Hamburgers or Steak - just depends on my mood. All are great and will watch any of them when there on. WITH ONE EXCEPTION - Cady Shack and Blazing Saddles can ONLY be watched uncut - not the made for TV edited versions. Those remove ALL the good stuff!

Ha,  I have no idea what you are talking about.  I guess I'm just not old enough to get the joke. Remember I'm only in my mid 40s. :)

Does knowing the entire Blazing Saddles script verbatim make it number one?  B)

Blazing Saddles by a mile.

I don't even find Caddyshack that smart or funny. Young Frankenstein was smart and funny, but not to the degree of Blazing Saddles. BS was just so incredibly irreverent and shocking for its time.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ITqS2uTPD4

Airplane!

Most people can cite at least a dozen lines from this movie...
Gotta at least enter the conversation

Was just going to add this one.  I can't quote blazing saddles like I can the Jerk.  But then we watched it pretty much every week for a year back in the day.  Just quoted it today.  Gave a guy a door badge and he sez "I'm somebody now."  and it went on from there.

Tommy boy was probably Farley's best.  Loved it.  But since he made many others in the same vein, it waters it down on the all time list IMO.

Well, I know most of the lines in all (four), but I'm a huge Young Frankenstein fan.

It's so good I can quote it. It's very memorable to me. It just makes me laugh my head off. It stands out for its time. He was so incredibly talented. Damn funny and his physical comedy was amazing.

Ok...so I watched YF tonight and I'm sure this will not be well reviewed but I didn't find it very funny.  In fact I fell asleep for a few minutes of it...maybe I slept through the funny part although I recognized most of the lines I've seen quoted.

Sorry,  I don't see it.
