It’s the list where you can vote for the funniest films of all time, and it’s wrong. It’s mainly wrong because Zoolander isn’t on it and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is. I always thought that those list programmes on channel 4 were rubbish because I hadn’t gone to the site and voted in advance for the films/albums/breeds of dog that I thought should be included but as it turns out the whole thing is founded on a faulty voting system (in this case a voting system that fails to recognise the brilliance of Zoolander and also Love and Death (seriously, who thought Annie Hall was funnier than Love and Death?)). The list is just wrong! If you were wondering, the correct answer to the question ‘what are the funniest films ever?’ off the top of my head it would probably be something like this (in no particular order) :

• Zoolander
• Brain Dead
• Love And Death
• Close Encounters of The Spooky Kind (a bit left field I know, but the bit at the end where (OMG! SPOILER!!!!:) Sammo Hung repeatedly punches his wife in the stomach before throwing her on a bonfire is PURE COMEDY GOLD!)
• The Jerk
• The Three Amigos
• Team America
• Baseketball
• A Night At The Opera
• Spinal Tap

Oh sorry, I just realised that it’s the ‘greatest comedy films of all time’ not the funniest films of all time, well, I suppose that’s vague enough criteria for them to be allowed to include ‘Good Morning Vietnam’ in there, inspite of the fact that it’s possible to watch the film without laughing or feeling any kind of emotion, positive or otherwise, apart from hatred for Robin Williams.

What funny films do you like? Which is the worst Robin Williams film? (Bicentenial man is my vote, though for some reason I want to say AI even though he wasn’t in that)
