The 31 movies we have chosen are all comedy movies, made by directors who made their name in that genre, even if then moved on to other things since.

Spaceballs that low is inexcusable, Bryan!
Completely agree. And Blazing Saddles at 20 was a dagger to the heart.
Better get the lube ready for my video then...
And Young Frankenstein at 14?? That's probably my favorite comedy.
And yet there it sits!
@@BryanLomax I still love you. But I'll never forget this. Lol!
Hey bryan good to see you.😊 Great video as always mate ❤
Cheers man!
I need to see a lot of these Bryan! Believe it not i haven't even seen half.
As with almost all your lists Bryan, I start off shaking my head and by the end I’m nodding right along.
🤣🤣🤣
Respect for not finding humor in potshots at marriage, or the sanctity of sex being reduced to an act between two people. And as a Catholic who likes to look for the silver lining in everything, it’s refreshing to see at least a few prominent people on social media not being afraid to say it!
Woke up to this. So hyped!!!
Awesome vid! Any idea when the autostream with Cody etc will happen? Love the 31 on 31 group videos
Of this awesome list of comedies, here are my Top 10 Favorites:
10. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby-A terrific racecar comedy that mixes together a great ensemble cast with satire of American excess, which makes for a fantastic comedy from Will Ferrell
9. Happy Gilmore-Even though Adam Sandler gets dunked on for his comedies of the last fifteen years, this one never fails in delivering a great time in Sandler’s manchild antics through the sport of golf
8. Step Brothers-While I find this movie to be incredibly funny from beginning to end, I’ve always appreciated this one for its silly humor reinforcing the message of no matter how old you get, never lose your inner child, which I think is something this one doesn’t get enough credit for
7. National Lampoon’s Vacation-A consistently funny road trip comedy that balances the family friendly comedy of the hijinks of what’s going on while being able to have more edgy, adult comedy at the same time
6. Tropic Thunder-Even though this one’s a bit more extreme than a lot of the films on this list, none of that stops this movie from being a brilliant satire of the eccentricities and ruthlessness of Hollywood with self-aware humor, action shenanigans, and my favorite cameo of all time in the Les Grossman character
5. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles-No matter how many Thanksgivings go by, I’ll always hold this road trip film near and dear to my heart for its ability to be incredibly funny in its comedy, but also be very sentimental in ways I don’t think we see as often in storytelling of today
4. In Bruges-As a big fan of all four of Martin McDonagh’s films, this is my favorite of them as it’s able to blend together sharp McDonagh dialogue, profound themes of religion and morality, dark humor, and fantastic performances from Colin Farrell, Brenden Gleeson, and Ralph Fiennes, which makes for an incredibly holistic experience of a film
3. Dumb and Dumber-An absolutely perfect mix of incredibly stupid humor written and delivered in the most clever of ways with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels’ chemistry elevating this film to be one of the funniest movies ever made
2. Spaceballs-Because of my love of Star Wars and science fiction, I’ve always loved and adored this movie for its jabs at various franchises in Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien, Planet of the Apes, Transformers, and 2001: A Space Odyssey, which makes for the comedy I’ve probably rewatched the most times
1. Groundhog Day-An absolutely hilarious time loop comedy that has Bill Murray at his funniest, plenty of memorable moments and lines, a script that’s both cynical and sentimental at the same time, and an efficient runtime, which makes for one of my Top 10 Favorite Movies of All Time
Weather i agree with opinion or not you always explain your opinion well so i can respect your opinion great video as usual
Monthy Pythons holy grail wipes the floor with any of these films. 😂
There's alot of comedies left off the lift that would or may rank higher for many people. Even the fellas doing the 31on31. But alas creating the list is a democracy and comedy being as subjective as it is, definitely won't have many people's favorites on here.
They're also trying to be as broad as possible.
Cody, Sean, and Bryan are getting the Lomax award for Spaceballs
I saw spaceballs when I was a kid and I thought that's how they jammed signals😂😅
Will we ever have some westerns for 31 on 31? Like not necessarily a full list, and I know there have been some in the past like Django or Hateful Eight, but I mean some classic westerns like The Good the Bad and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West, or Magnificent Seven
And Unforgiven, Open Range, The Outlaw Josey Wales and so on. Mate, I'm so up for that, but I might stand alone amongst the group when it comes to westerns.
@@BryanLomax yeah, exactly, it feels like in general it's a genre people just rarely talk about these days for some reason. Maybe it's just me being nostalgic because it's one of the first genre I got into as a kid with stuff like The Searchers or Rio Bravo, but I'm always in a good mood when I see a YT video of people talking about older westerns
@@BryanLomaxI’d love to see a western 31 too 👀
@@BryanLomaxI’d like to explore westerns sometime. The hard part is that they’d nearly all be first time watches and that’s a LOT of time to dedicate to a vid that likely won’t be too popular. Never say never.
@@BryanLomax hey there are some great ones even the group would enjoy. And for 31 on 31 it would be another cool genre to tackle.
Films like tombstone, Wyatt Earp, 3:10 to Yuma there's alot to go through in a genre people think they may not enjoy but would become surprised when they do.
i am almost halfway through the video and i laughed so many times, you're not even trying to be funny, but yet you are
Hey Bryan Great List! I didn't rank them all.. but here's my Top 12:
12. The 40-Year-Old Virgin
11. Airplane
10. National Lampoon's Vacation
9. Old School
8. Step Brothers
7. Road Trip
6. The Hangover
5. The Cable Guy
4. Happy Gilmore
3. There's Something About Mary
2. Kingpin
1. Dumb And Dumber
Hope there's another comedy one in the future because there's definitely some that should have made the list like black sheep, tommy boy, American pie, Uncle Buck etc.
Nice list Bryan! Btw how about making mafia/crime/heist 31 on 31 in the future? There is so mutch great movies and directors in those genres. Or sci fi horror/cosmic horror theme..
We already did a sci-fi horror one.
I’m with you on Spaceballs and Edgar Wright, but not a whole lot else. Still, great video, I enjoyed hearing your list!
31 on 31 let’s go lads
A long one! 🙌🙌🍿 🍿
Even having NOT seen Star Wars, you are absolutely right about Spaceballs. I saw it as a kid who loved Star Wars (and I still love the GOOD SW movies), but Mel Brooks' comedy there really falls flat. Doesn't work. Maybe you'll find his Hitchcock parody, High Anxiety, funnier.
Have you ever seen Noises Off? I feel like maybe you would like that. It's so much chaos and the cast is great.
I'm also not a big fan of Mel Brooks and prefer Robin Hood Men In Tights to any of the ones here lol.
I've not seen Noises Off.
I will be posting my list later in Bruges is at 7 although I will say my top 10 are all 4 star to me so it’s a pretty stacked list
In Bruges should be 5 star 😉
@@BryanLomax it’s a four and a half so I do like this movie couple of things hold it back one some of the humour is not for me one where ray says if I grow up in the country retarded joke is offensive to me personally I live in the Irish countryside second the whole midget kill himself thing I find distasteful third jordan prentice I don’t think is a great actor and fourth the two Canadian s were literally a plot device lazily written to get ray back to Bruge so great movie but it has issues

Completely agree with your discussion about comedy when discussing the 40 year old virgin.
Wax scene is classic
I'm glad you liked Step Brothers, that's actually my favorite comedy of all time. It makes me laugh harder than any other film. I also think there's quite a story there too...
The 2 sons have all this youthfulness about them but no responsibilities or machority... the parents are all responsible and machor but have lost there youthfulness and love of life.... and by the end the kids come to learn the importance of and significance of responsibility and machority and the parents find their youthfulness again. I also think it shows the value of actually working things out as a family, forgiving each other and coming together to make it work. I just love that movie so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I really wasn't expecting to.
25:14 bryan you win me over, you win me over hard, thank you, i salute you
Out of curiousity, would movies such as The Holy Grail and Life of Brian made top 10 for your list?
I don't think so.
Finally made it through the video. I actually also prefer The Worlds End to the other two films as well. I had a good time with it. I would've made money had I bet what your number 1 was lol
My top handful of movies
1 Hot Fuzz
2 In Bruges
3 Shaun of the dead
4 The worlds end
5 Spaceballs
6 Groundhog Day
7 Weird science
I’m a miserable sod when it comes to comedy, but those seven films I do really like. 5,6 and 7 were from my childhood so have always loved them.
Man oh man, what a list! Cant wait to see what the others are saying BUT with that said Bryan is easily one of the most influential voice on 31 on 31 against the others. What I’m saying is I feel like the rest (outside of CP) all fall pretty close together. Bryan is consistently pushing the boundaries of presenting a different opinion though I disagree with him more than I do (love Hellraiser/Texas chainsaw/fire fly family franchises all the way so I know we aren’t each other cup of tea but love his perspective which leads me to a lot I wouldn’t think I’d like).
How was it decided what comedies to include? I probably would hsve included about half of those, left a lot out and included others. I suppose the nature of comedy is subjective. Would leave room for a future comedy one as so many were left out.
I can't quite remember how we arrived at them all to be honest. I think we all picked 1 director and then fought over the rest.
@@BryanLomax I can tell it was Rudy who really pushed for Mel Brooks

Bryan, you are definitly smoking crack, but this is what makes your videos interesting.
The real question though... Wrong Turn 6 or Road Trip?
My #1 is always gonna be The Apartment and Some Like It Hot.
And I have to ask - especially because I know Bryan loves Wilder's films - how did none of those make it on the list?
I think my top 5 wouldn’t be far off at all:
1. In Bruges
2. Shaun of the dead
3. Hot fuzz
4. Step brothers
5. Dumb & dumber
How is talladega nights that low 😭
Because I laughed maybe 3 times during the whole film.
let’s fuckin gooo !!!!

I still have to watch Young Frankenstein, Spaceballs, Blazing Saddles, Talladega Nights, Groundhog Day, Multiplicity, Zoolander, and Airplane!.
In Bruges at number 1 is all I need to see.
Was this better than pain and suffering?
Hell yes!!! 10 x over!
In Bruges would definitely be my number 1 as well, although only because Monty Python and the Holy Grail wasnt included. 😂
Yes, nothing beats grail
Really great video! I really like how you explain WHY you don't find some things funny. Comedy is really hit and miss for me. I would prefer to watch a drama or an action film with just humor in it, lol!!
I don't like spoofs myself. Spaceballs is the only one I really like.
I pretty much like anything with John Candy and I'm a big fan of John Hughes. Yes, Ferris bueller would have been in my top 10 on this list, lol!
Cheers Bryan!
I’m happy to see In Bruges number 1. One of my favorite movies as well. The 40 year old virgin deserved better though lol
I love all the stuff between Keener and Carrell. But everything with his circle of friends is just smut.
@@BryanLomax Comedy is the most subjective genre and with you having such different tastes makes it a very interesting 31 on 31
Shocking the guy who demanded In Bruges be on list had it at #1…to each there own but I don’t think Bryan understood the assignment lol
I understood just fine. The intention of In Bruges is to make you laugh. The intention of comedy is to make you laugh. But because it's a much darker film that doesn't fit people's narrow view of what constitutes comedy people fail to understand just exactly what the assignment is. When someone asks me what my favourite comedy of all time is my genuine answer is In Bruges. Why? Coz it makes me laugh harder than any other so-called comedy.
Nah you didn’t understand the assignment
I respect most of your other work but you should not review comedy under any circumstances my guy. It doesn’t seem like you enjoyed any of these very much at all lol.
I fully accept that assessment. Except for the top 10, especially the Edgar Wright movies and In Bruges, which are genuinely great and truly hilarious. My comedic sensibilities are just a bit darker than most I guess.
Hey that’s what makes this fun is that we all have differing tastes and opinions. Thanks for the video!
Humor is very taste oriented and is very divisive by nature for example some love dumb and dumber some hate the dumb humor and prefer a dry humor approach or like the parodies so no Bryan is a fantastic reviewer and makes the 31 on 31 very interesting wouldn’t be the same without him why would we want a 31 on 31 if the takes were the same.
To further expand it wouldn’t be the same without any of the guys they are all great genuine reviewers
I’m glad I’m not the only one that is not a fan of the raunchy comedy. I like his stance on finding the comedy in the characters. It’s the mark of a great story. A good movie is a good movie, be it a comedy or any other genre.
Bryan you look great. You been working out?
Hahaha, no actually. Though I've been working on my garden a lot lately.
@BryanLomax I thought I was the only one in the autopstream family who loved gardening. I learned from my grandma about having a green thumb.
My top 5 would be
1. Spaceballs
2. Step brothers
3. Shaun of the dead
4. Hangover
5. Planes, Trains and automobiles
Fair enough. Personally I don't think any of the other films on this list are in the same league as In Bruges.
Hangover and 40 Year Old Virgin that Low?! Easily two of the best comedies ever. Ur autopstream is gonna be fun for sure 🤣 Gotta respect ur opinion tho!
When I saw Ramis was included I was waiting for Caddyshack lol other than that slight disappointment great ranking
In a comedy duo, Cody would be the "funny man" to Bryan's "straitman"
True. But without the straight man the comedy dies on it's ass. I'm the Steve Martin to his John Candy 😆
@@BryanLomax yeah for sure!
Only a British person would rank all of the British comedies at the top lol
I think its a rough go for brian as most the films are American and have a ton of American cultural gimmicks. Its a mirrior of me not really getting into British comedy to much of the time.
Ferris Bueller too low, Bryan...I dont think youve ever played hookie from school lol. Agreed on Spaceballs, its corny. Young Frankenstein , PT&A, Coming to America, Ferris Bueller and In Bruges would be my top 5
I played hookie twice at school. One time I went to see Twelve Monkeys. The other I went to see The Game. But yeah, just never liked Ferris Bueller. All the stuff with the headmaster takes up way too much of the film's running time.
@@BryanLomax those were days off well spent, thats typically what i did if i ducked outta school,i went to the movies. Spending too much time w the principal subplot is a very fair critique
I must be juvenile, because in my 40’s I find myself still laughing at all of the movies that you are calling juvenile. But I love comedy and it sounds like you do not. It sounds like this was actually a painful assignment for you to get through.
Haven't seen Road Trip in a while. Not sure if my opinions would change. The video tape has probably aged poorly. Preferred the sequel Euro Trip, funnier them getting these ridiculous situations in Europe. Would've included it instead. Better watch of characters in European countries than Hostel.
Find Will Farrell's comedy hit/miss. Sometimes it's funny and others he's a complete loudmouth, over the top and cringey
Man this list was bad🤣🤣
I don't hate any of these
31: young Frankenstein: I didn't hate this movie it has funny moments but I don't really go back to it at all and this is a spoof I don't get as much
30: road trip: I had never seen this movie before I watched through all of these and it kind of felt like a bunch of other road trip comedies that I have seen and enjoy more
29: airplane: same as young Frankenstein pretty funny at times but not one that I go back to
28: theres something about mary: I do really enjoy this one but I don't rewatch it that often and I do think cameron Diaz was miscast for what they were going for with her character
27: weird science: I don't hate any john hughes movies but this one I feel like hasn't aged as well as I would have liked unlike his other movies
26: old school: pretty funny and Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn are great but I don't remember it or rewatch it as much as my favorite Todd Phillips comedies
25: Zoolander: great concept for a comedy and ben stiller is really funny in this but some of the humor doesn't land and is just cringe worthy for me
24: the worlds end: still a solid Edgar wright film with a good message but I don't think it balances the 2 plots as well as the other 2
Point of reference I really like to love the rest of these
23: knocked up: a funny movie with good performances and its heartfelt but I can't help but compare it to 40 year old virgin
22: funny people: I do really enjoy this one but I haven't gone back to it before very recently and not all of the humor lands for me
21: vacation: very consistently funny but national lampoon hadn't quite come into themselves yet
20: anchorman some very quotable memorable moments and a really good performance from Paul Rudd
19: hot fuzz: takes a bit to get going but when it does it's very funny and a great murder mystery
18: kingpin: very funny as most of these are but the plot can be a bit unfocused at times
17: the cable guy: a really good dark comedy but I haven't gone back to it more than 3 times in my life
16: spaceballs: a fun spoof movie that hits for me as a huge star wars fan
15: the 40 year old virgin: a funny movie with great characters with great chemistry and heart
14: the hangover: a fun road trip comedy that turned a bunch of actors into a listers
13: in bruges: a great dark comedy with great performances and some crazy action
12: coming to America: a fun comedy that is memorable and has a really good story rewatching this made me like coming 2 America less
11: tropic thunder: has some very good performances and has a lot to say about filmmaking
10: shaun of the dead: a really good British comedy with some great gore effects
9: multiplicity: a great concept with great acting and plenty of heart by the end
8: blazing saddles: a movie that I hadn't seen before but it does spoof comedy right and it will be rewatchable for me
7: step brothers: very quotable memorable and well acted with a great message
5
6: groundhog day: a great concept that has my second favorite bill Murray performance and it has a ton of heart by the end
5: happy Gilmore: my personal favorite Adam Sandler comedy that is funny heartfelt with great performances and some of my most commonly used quotes
4: planes train and automobiles: a classic funny heartfelt quotable comedy that is kind of a template for what comedies would get back too
3: dumb and dumber: an unashamedly dumb comedy that is just trying to make you laugh and it works very well
2: Talladega nights: a great quotable funny sports movie that has great acting and a good message
1: ferris buellers day off: a classic nostalgic movie for me that is heartfelt amazingly acted and it's a story that most people can relate to
I agree with you on Cameron Diaz. Attractive woman for sure, but she doesn't have that... something, which the title of the film is insisting that she has.
@@BryanLomax Wow I'm surprised you actually commented I agree though she's missing something in this role
