15 People Share the Movie That Had Them Laughing Harder Than Any Other

There’s laughing at a movie, and then there’s laughing so hard you miss the next three jokes. Someone else in the room starts laughing, which makes you laugh even more, and eventually nobody has any idea what’s happening on screen anymore. Those are usually the comedies people remember years later, even if they couldn’t explain exactly why one ridiculous scene got them so badly. Reddit users recently started sharing the movies that produced that kind of reaction, and the answers covered everything from mockumentaries and buddy comedies to some very dark satire. A few titles came up again and again.

Here are 15 movies people say had them laughing harder than anything else they’d seen.

What We Do in the Shadows (2014)

Before the TV series, there was the original New Zealand mockumentary about vampires trying to share a house. Everyday roommate problems become considerably funnier when everyone involved is undead.

Tucker & Dale vs. Evil (2010)

A series of increasingly ridiculous misunderstandings makes two perfectly nice hillbillies look like horror movie killers. The joke somehow keeps getting worse, and funnier, every time.

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016)

The Lonely Island’s music industry mockumentary is packed with absurd songs, celebrity cameos, and jokes that move quickly enough to reward repeat viewings.

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)

This parody takes practically every cliché from musician biopics and pushes it into complete absurdity. One Reddit user called it the hardest they’d ever laughed at a movie.

The Death of Stalin (2017)

Political terror probably shouldn’t be this funny, yet the movie turns the chaos following Stalin’s death into an incredibly dark and sharply written comedy.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

Jason Segel’s disastrous Hawaiian vacation gives the movie plenty of awkward comedy, while its supporting cast keeps stealing scenes around him.

Role Models (2008)

Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott being forced into a youth mentoring program goes about as badly as expected. The movie gets much of its humor from letting its characters behave terribly around children.

21 Jump Street (2012)

Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum unexpectedly turned a television reboot into one of the funniest buddy comedies of the 2010s.

Friendship (2024)

Tim Robinson brings his painfully awkward style of comedy to a story about a suburban man becoming intensely attached to his new neighbor.

Blockers (2018)

Three parents discover their daughters have made a pact for prom night and immediately decide to interfere. Their increasingly desperate attempts to stop them drive the movie into complete chaos.

Game Night (2018)

What begins as a harmless game among friends turns into a kidnapping, a criminal conspiracy, and one very confused group of people who aren’t sure what’s real anymore.

The Other Guys (2010)

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg make an unexpectedly great comedy duo in a movie that constantly finds ways to make its supposedly boring detectives look even more ridiculous.

Bottoms (2023)

Two unpopular high school students start a fight club for reasons that make almost no sense. The movie knows exactly how ridiculous its premise is and keeps escalating from there.

Tropic Thunder (2008)

A group of self-important actors accidentally finds themselves in a real conflict while believing they’re still making a movie. Its Hollywood satire goes completely over the top.

Bridesmaids (2011)

Wedding planning turns into a competition, a disastrous trip, and several spectacular public meltdowns. More than a decade later, some of its biggest scenes are still comedy favorites.
