I honestly couldn't stand [Anchorman] the first time I tried watching it. Somehow, after initial disappointment, it grew on me. It might be that the humor is a little different from typical comedies and therefore takes some adjusting.
My suggestion: Death at a Funeral (United Kingdom version)

I only watched half of it the first time. I had to watch the rest to know the lines people always quoted. There are some funny scenes but I wouldn't put it on an all-time list.

Not a movie, but you should
Not a movie, but you should have a marathon viewing session of the Trailer Park Boys DVDs (all seasons are available on Netflix now as well). I'm sure JimLahey will agree wholeheartedly with me on this one.
One of the funniest shows I've ever seen, hands down. Definitely inspired many of today's hit comedy shows such as It's Always Sunny (the intro seems like a direct ripoff of TPB).
As far as movies go, I've always got a special place in my heart for BASEketball.

I'm going to give an honorable mention to "Date Night." Even with Steve Carrell and Tina Fey, I didn't have high hopes when I rented it, but the strip club scene had me rolling.

Truthfully though
Truthfully though
They make great action, drama, et al. Movies now, great comedies are few and far between. Hangover might get there, Anchorman...but classics don't come along as often as in other genres. I remember when There's Something About Mary came out, and thinking something that funny hadn't come out in a long time.

The others mentioned above are all pretty good choices as well though.

Young Frankenstein not being mentioned until now? neg yourselves, people.
also, Blazing Saddles has to be the top one. you have to find an unedited version tho.
Harold & Kumar is a good one not mentioned.
Strange Brew is a cult classic, probably not in a traditional top 10.
Stir Crazy & The Woman in Red are good Gene Wilder flicks, i'd lean toward Stir Crazy b/c duh Richard Pryor.
The Toy is also classic Pryor.

But I like your lists. Harold and Kumar underrated. Reminds me of an amalgam of my friends in college. Wayne's World 1 is a classic, if for no other reason Tia Carrere.
And Austin Powers 2, when he realized Dr. Evil and all the other characters were funnier than AP himself.

Holy shit, that looks awesome. Is it out yet? Did it come out and I missed it? I must watch this movie. I will do some investigating. Danny McBride, playing a similar type of character to Kenny Powers, it seems. FTW.
Totally agree about The Other Guys...completely came out of left field and turned out amazing. Undercover Brother has that same quality, btw
Wiggum: Do they have Krusty partially gelatinated non-dairy gum-based beverages?
Lou: Mm-hm. They call 'em, "shakes."
