What is the funniest movie of the last ten years?

If you guys had one guess at the poster who tagged "your mom in a snuff porno" who would it be?
 
Talledega Nights came to mind for me first, then Stepbrothers (which I actually didn't like the first time I saw it, but re-watchability is high). I also thought Bridesmaids was hilarious (but I'm female so maybe that affects this?).
 
Reading these suggestions just reinforces that comedies have gotten way too long these days. For many of them, they have plenty of hilarious moments; however, they also end up mucking around with boring, superfluous plot-lines and last a good half hour or so longer than they really need to. It seems that every single Judd Apatow movie is like that. Perhaps there should be a rule that you are not allowed to make a comedy that is longer than an hour and a half. "Some really funny parts, but it went on way too long" is how I would describe most of my "favorite" comdedies of the last 10 years.
 
My top 5 would go:

1. Shaun of the Dead
2. 40 Year Old Virgin
3. Hot Fuzz
4. Role Models
5. 21 Jump Street
 
Hot Fuzz
Hangover
Burn After Reading
Shaun of the Dead
 
Step Brothers
21 Jump Street
Anchorman
Wedding Crashers
Talledega Night
Bridesmaids
The Heat
In the Loop
The Hangover
 
It's a sub-genre, but Observe and Report is probably the best dark comedy of the past 10 years.

I'd put up some animated movies for sure... The Incredibles and Toy Story 3

Otherwise: Superbad, Grandma's Boy, Anchorman, Step Bros, Borat
 
The last 10 years have mostly sucked. But there aren't any other Ricky Gervais fans here?

1. Invention of Lying (far and away the best comedy of the last decade)
2. Bridesmaids
3. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
4. Ghost Town
5. Tropic Thunder
 
No love for Hot Tub Time Machine? That ish was hilarious, way underrated movie.

Zombieland deserves a sequel.


The Hangover should have been one movie and I don't understand how you didn't laugh your ass off on first viewing.

Anchorman's rewatchability and lines should put it on the top of the list.

Aptow's movies and the genre are kinda weak IMHO, but I Love You Man is fantastic and This is 40 isn't funny but its a good movie.

The funniest scenes in the last couple of years have to include Dirty Mike and the Boys scenes during The Other Guys.

Yeah, I gotta put "The Other Guys" on my list, I loved that movie. Will Ferrell as "Gator" fucking cracks me up.
