The GOAT is Buster Keaton, but Farley and Michael Richards are the most
HokieDan95 • 02/29/24 10:56 AM ET
the last slapstick was probably the Jackass movies, right?**
MrBayAreaHokie • 02/29/24 10:47 AM ET
They don't make comedies anymore period. They only make family comedies
HokieHigh • 02/29/24 10:11 AM ET

A drama wrapped in the shell of a comedy **
HokieHigh • 02/29/24 11:18 AM ET
Yeah, lot of social commentary wrapped in that movie. But still pretty
Tafkam Hokie • 02/29/24 12:21 PM ET
I thought Ken's character was very funny **
HokieHigh • 02/29/24 12:24 PM ET
Gosling nominated for an Oscar**
statmanfromHCyrs • 02/29/24 12:46 PM ET

Define "recent." Do you mean in the last year, or five years, or ten?
Tafkam Hokie • 02/29/24 09:50 AM ET
I suppose the comedies of the 80s and 90s was willing to offend
Hokie1992 • 02/29/24 11:14 AM ET
only ones pushing any PC limits are standup comics and they are rare
Vienna_Hokie • 02/29/24 03:11 PM ET
The real irony in that

Jerry Seinfeld quit doing shows on college campus's because people are so
santafe • 02/29/24 12:00 PM ET
Hollywood also has its boundaries
Hokie1992 • 02/29/24 12:37 PM ET
Chris Rock said the same thing. I'm sure they aren't the only two...

We saw George Lopez in Burruss about 10 years ago, laughed my a$$ off,

Will Ferrell has done a couple that I laugh at, such as...
EDGEMAN • 02/29/24 11:13 AM ET
A couple more comedies I enjoy are Old School and Euro Trip**
EDGEMAN • 02/29/24 11:15 AM ET
Lets Be Cops is pretty good too.**
EDGEMAN • 02/29/24 11:15 AM ET

bigbadbird • 02/29/24 09:56 AM ET

roadrunner**
astrohokie • 02/29/24 10:05 AM ET
the bit with the anvil slays**
JoesterVT • 02/29/24 10:07 AM ET
Nah, physical comedy died with Chris Farley. I don't think anyone
hoosnowahokie • 02/29/24 09:37 AM ET
It doesn’t hurt so much here or here, but right here
