It has been so much fun writing these blogs, and I might even continue the blog into the Summer. I learned a lot about comedy and social media. I hope the blog has been helpful for everyone looking for something to laugh it. And I know I have found some great comedians to look out for in the future. So thanks for the ride, and of course thanks to Dr. Owens for assigning this, it's been crazy fun.
See all you comedy maniacs soon...

Best Funny Movies of all Time
This week I thought I'd talk about my top favorite comedy movies of all time. I'm going to stick to movies on Netflix, so people can see them a little cheaper.
5. Robin Hood: Men in Tights
This one is really funny, but I put it last because some of the jokes themselves are a little lazy. But overall it is hilarious and most of the jokes really are solid. I would suggest watching this one for fun, not as a comedy snob, it just way more fun that way.
This basic story is Robin Hood has come back from the Crusades with the help of a another man, who asks him as payment to seek out his son, who is a foreign exchange student, when he gets back to Britain, Achoo. Then when they return Locksely is a mess, and Robin Hood has to set it right and from Maid Marion from, let's say, her maidenhood (a metal chastity belt).
4. The Emperor's New Groove
This one you might wonder about. It is a kid's movies, but it has better quality writing than most Disney/Pixar movies. All the characters bring some hilarious to the table, and unusual for Pixar. This is a good one to look back on and watch know as a comedy snob, so you can finally appreciate it.
This is the story of the Emperor Cuzco, who rules Peru, but is turned into a donkey by Eezma, his nemesis who wants to rule the empire. He his helped by Patcha, a local citizen to get back to his own body, but he learns along the way, that it'snot all about opulence and power, it's what you do with it.
3. Monty Python's Meaning of Life
This one's a classic Monty Python. I think the best part, is that the nature of the subject allows them to go randomly from section of section of life, meaning the sketches are just as random as the comedians themselves. Monty Python is really in their element in this one. This is one for everybody no matter your level of comedy.
I can't even give you the plot, because there isn't one! The movie simply follows the stages of life, and attempts to connect them all at the end.
2. Fargo
Some might disagree with this one, as they don't view it as a comedy, and it does have an element of thriller in it. But, for me it wasn't about the crime but about Marge Gunderson, the cop who must solve it. It is a classic Cohen brothers directed picture. If you love some dark comedy, which I do, watch it immediately, it's freaking awesome.
This is the story of a used car salesman wife who gets kidnapped. But she is kidnapped by some pretty sucky criminals. The only person that can save her is the pregnant police chief Marge Gunderson. With all the folksy saying and accents, it will make you laugh, then feel terrible about laughing.
1. Clue
I was actually wanting this one to be 9 to 5, but they don't have it on Netflix. This one is still awesome though, with some classic comedy from classic comedians. It features classic comedians like Tim Curry (Dr. Frank-N-Furter from Rocky Horror Picture Show), Madeline Kahn (from every Mel Brooks movie ever, but her best was Lili Von Shtupp in Blazing Saddles). There's also Martin Mull, Susan Serandon. Christopher Lloyd, and Micheal Mckean.
This is the movie version of the game clue. It features crazy characters in crazy situations, trying to figure out who murdered Mr. Body. With such awesome comedians, it is definitely a laugh riot.
