The Funniest Movies of All Time

When it comes to funny movies, we all have our own opinions. Some like romantic comedies, while others like slapstick style flicks with crude and obnoxious humor. Whatever your taste may be there are always a few that everybody can enjoy. These are the movies that come to be known as the funniest movies of all time. This is a topic that people can sit and argue about for hours, but inevitably there are a few that stand out as classics.

The preeminent funniest movie of all time has to be Dumb and Dumber starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. This is a movie that can aptly be described as comedic genius. Here we have two nincompoops trekking across America to return a briefcase. Granted the humor is a little juvenile and can be downright ridiculous at points, but that's where the acting of Carrey and Daniels come in and make this a great movie. 

Paired together, they resemble a mentally challenged odd couple, and their ability to feed of each other's ineptitude is what drives this movie from beginning to end. Carrey's character, Lloyd, can barely even pronounce the word "the," but still has enough street smarts to trade in their van for a mini bike that they happily share from Nebraska to Aspen. 

Daniels's character Harry may have enough brainpower to trick Lloyd into thinking that he has set him up on a date, but still has the audacity to lick a frozen chairlift getting his tongue brutally stuck in the process. If you didn't know anything about this movie before you saw it, you would probably think it's for teens that like flatulence jokes and seeing people run into things. But it goes deeper than that. 

This movie proves that two idiots, when working together, can summon the mental capacity of a single person and solve a problem while leading hilarious escapades. Dumb and Dumber is not only the funniest movie of all time; it could be one of the best-written one as well.
