Best SNL Movie

1980.

rewatch it

While stoned.

and if you mention Jim Belushi and the Blues Brothers in the same sentence again I'll...well...I'll say mean things to you

But I thought the Blues Brothers were John Goodman and Jim Belushi. What's the problem?

Go to hell. Go directly to hell. Do not pass "Go". Do not collect $200.

you know what makes a hilarious comedy is great music and car crashes

Question is Best SNL Movie. Bob Roberts is probably up there too, even though it didn't have the belly laughs of MacGruber.

deric you trolling bastard, I'll kill you

hee hee

I kind of never need to see the Blues Brothers again but it is funny - there are plenty of jokes in it and the music is great. also agree that it features Carrie Fisher at her most smashable. Belushi's excuse-speech is pure gold.

all time

I'm suddenly realizing that I've only seen three of these. Should probably watch this "Blue Brothers" movie sometime, though, huh? Will I like it if I didn't particularly care for According To Jim?

if I wasn't laughing I'd strangle you

blues brothers over wayne's world, macgruber

I like Wayne's World a lot but I have no idea how it's better than the Blues Brothers.

it's funnier?

Dang, I should've made this a general "Best SNL Spinoff" poll, so I could've included gems like this:

And the Toonces, The Cat Who Could Drive A Car special. A half hour of Toonces bits, interspersed with a bunch of new, non-Toonces material written by Jack Handey and starring George Wendt, Randy Quaid, Kevin McDonald from Kids in the Hall, and Joe Flaherty as a time-traveling Abe Lincoln.

Not to mention MTV's Wayne's World specials. Which might arguably be as good as the movies.

Wall, that wasn't as much help as I'd hoped

And the Toonces, The Cat Who Could Drive A Car special. A half hour of Toonces bits, interspersed with a bunch of new, non-Toonces material written by Jack Handey and starring George Wendt, Randy Quaid, Kevin McDonald from Kids in the Hall, and Joe Flaherty as a time-traveling Abe Lincoln.

Yeah! I bought this at Blockbuster when I was 10 for like two bucks!! I loved the "Scruffy the Rat" bit ("If that's Scruffy, then who's that? Ewwwww!") and Coach Dobbs

I can't stand hearing movie quotes repeated ad infinitum, especially Caddyshack or Fletch.

But danged if I don't sit down for dinner at every company retreat with two unfamiliar co-workers and go "Orange Whip? Orange Whip?"

lol those were my #1 and #2 in the comedy poll and even I hate when ppl quote them too much.

Although I am occasionally guilty of doing so myself but it's not often and only in the presence of a particular friend.

Caddyshack or Fletch.

lol those were my #1 and #2 in the comedy poll

just kill me now

loool

Morbs, I'm sure we'll all do the right thing and run future ballots by a WWII vet before submitting.

apparently CHEVY CHASE IS THE GREATEST FILM COMEDIAN OF ALL TIME

Nobody's saying that, Morbs! We're saying he's the greatest comedian of all time full stop.

This is between og Wayne's World and MacGruber for me.

me too, tie goes to the movie with ghost porking

current snl is awesome, stefon forever

I would see a stefon movie for real

I think the only one of these I've ever seen straight through is Wayne's World, which was funny but not very funny, and kind of sluggish and forced - for a zany movie based on a sketch comedy show it's not exactly laugh-a-minute. Voting Blues Brothers on the grounds that even if it were less funny than Wayne's World (and from what I've seen of it, it's got some moments?), it has some kick-ass musicians doing pretty decent performances. I'd buy that for a dollar.

Alice Cooper explaining the history of Milwaukee vs Ray Charles shooting a gun over the head of a shoplifter. I understand both sides.

The Milwaukee thing was pretty great, I'll give you that. And the moment when he's like "No, no, stay, guys!" and for a second it seems like Wayne & Garth have been sufficiently turned off by his Milwaukee nerd speech that they actually are going to just politely excuse themselves.

Mr mikes mondo video is fucking a+++++ FYI guys

Wayne's worlds both make me want to die tho so

haha

Caddyshack or Fletch.

lol those were my #1 and #2 in the comedy poll

WHY I OUTTA

Listen - They're my favorite funniest movies! I have to say though that in the end I found ranking the 50 a lot harder than picking 50. I wasn't really sure about the order at all - even the top 10. 11-50 ranking was pretty much totally arbitrary.

CHEVY CHASE IS THE GREATEST FILM COMEDIAN OF ALL TIME

When he was on and good he was one of the best, yes.

"OUTTA"? I haven't had coffee yet. OUGHTA, obv. I haven't had coffee yet.

Or is it aughta? I think it should be aughta but isn't. OK, coffee. Yes.

wayne's world ahead of ladies man, love blues bros but i dunno is it a very good movie

have always h8d chevy chase's smug smug face

macgruber was pretty awful

yeah, i refuse to believe MacGruber is actually good

It was better than I expected but I wouldn't call it "good".

Voted Bob Roberts, but might have gone with The Coneheads cartoon.

this thread took a rough tumble through the challopian tube. in 9 mos it may give birth to something even more RONG

One can only hope

let's just hope Armond White doesn't finally start posting here, coinciding with Momus' return.

macgruber has more laffs in it than anything in this poll, save the two waynes worlds

Wayne's World II would probably win for me. between the Charlton Heston cameo, the roadie, and the sequence of Wayne pickin the Waynestock bands from conveniently placed visual stimuli...classic.
