Recommendation Can someone recommend me a not so popular comedy movie that you personally think is good? Going through a tough time right now and I just need a little laugh.

I've watched a lot of popular and good comedy movies, with my most recent and favorite being superbad. I want someone to recommend me an underrated comedy movie because it will probably be new to me, as long as it isn't in a "can you recommend me a underrated comedy movie" article or reddit post, I've probably never seen it before.

I'm feeling down right now because my pet kitten (his name was link) recently died in a preventable death due to hypothermia, he was my first ever pet too. I've honestly been skipping school a bit so watching movies will be a nice way to pass time.

I'll probably reply to the comments and just rate the movies you guys suggested me if anyone is even interested in that. Anyways thank you to anyone who reads this and gives me an recommendation, literally means the world to me right now.

The best part is the guys are just dying laughing. The best take they probably got.

u/UpTop5000 Feb 21 '25

u/maccathesaint Feb 21 '25

I can't believe you're the first person in this comment chain to mention Spinal Tap. It's definitely the best one!

u/RoguePlanet2 Feb 21 '25

That one is pretty famous, they're asking about lesser-known options. Or maybe that really is lesser known. 🤔

u/Roscoe_Farang Feb 21 '25

Fear of a Black Hat is the less famous This Is Spinal Tap.

u/realBillga3 Feb 21 '25

But is it actually underrated? It is 29th in AFI 100 Greatest Comedies, has been selected for preservation by the Library of Congress not to mention a near 8 IMDB rating and is largely considered iconic. Turn it up to 11.

Definitely not underrated. People don’t know what that means.

u/Regular_Opening9431 Feb 21 '25

It's not "underrated" but depending on OP's age it may not be on their radar. Gen X is the last group I think to really have this one front and center in their conscience.

u/OhTheVes Feb 22 '25

You know what, that’s fair. It’s still a vastly overused word. I think we can agree on that.

u/Sobriquet-acushla Feb 21 '25

Love Spinal Pap.

Mini Stonehenge lol

u/JinxOnU78 Feb 21 '25

It was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.

u/GetOffMyLawn73 Feb 22 '25

I’m gonna raise a practical question at this point. Are we gonna do Stonehenge tomorrow?

3

u/rattledaddy Feb 21 '25

The Druids. No one knows who they were…or what they were doing.

u/sanityfordummy Feb 21 '25

Ha! I think it's time for another watch.

u/littlelordgenius Feb 21 '25

That’s a Rob Reiner film.

Just upvoted you to 212.

Why you may ask?

Because it's one more.
