When are stupid comedy movies funny?

Seems like there is a thin line between comedic movies that are stupid or hilarious. When is a stupid comedy funny, and when is it just stupid?

With Dumb and Dumber or
Dumb and Dumber(er)

with Ace Ventura or
When Nature Calls

or Something About Mary
or David Spade movies
or Adam Sandler movies
or Will Ferrel movies
or Scary Movie movies
or Airplane movies
or N. Lampoon's Vacation movies


What makes Scary Movie 1 funny and Scary Movie 2 stupid?

Sometimes the funniest are the ones that are stupid! The acting is so horrible, or the jokes, etc...You just laugh and wonder how the censored did this movie ever see the light of day!! :LOL:

I thought Austin 3 was a bit weak in the laugh dept.

Vacation - funny
European Vacation - not funny
Christmas Vacation - funny

3 was the weakest, but then i waited for it on DVD and after everyone said it was lame, so my expectations were low. i thought it was pretty damn funny still.


Vacation - funny
European Vacation - not funny
Christmas Vacation - funny



agree!

and i never bothered to see Vegas Vacation

the funniest movie of all time (2 me) is:


DONT BE A MENACE 2 SOUTH CENTRAL WHILE DRINKIN YOUR JUICE IN THE HOOD.

What makes this movie funny is that they make fun out of real situations or just hype them up too far...

like in the asian store, this white man was stealing all this stuff, and he walked out and the cashier gave him more money, while this little chinese woman was following Shawn saying : "HURRY UP AND BUY!!" I remember crying laughing!

Another runner up would be IM GONNA GIT YOU SUCKA
Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records.

It certainly is a delicate balance. Sometimes folks just don't know when enough is enough. Too many times, it's all about trying to strike that chord again because it made such good money the first time when it's obvious that lightening is only going to strike once.

I thought Zoolander was hilarious to, but could they do it again in a sequel?
I'm firmly planted in denial
