20 stupid comedies that are actually hilarious 

Two grown men become stepbrothers and immediately declare war over drum sets and personal space. The result is pure man-child chaos that is somehow deeply, uncomfortably relatable.

Two decades later, Harry and Lloyd are older but have somehow gotten dumber, sending them on another gloriously idiotic road trip. You’ll feel your IQ drop with every scene, but you’ll be laughing too hard to notice.

Andy Samberg plays a wannabe stuntman whose ambition is only matched by his spectacular lack of talent. It’s a masterclass in clueless commitment that feels like Napoleon Dynamite trying to be Evel Knievel.

A squad of Vermont state troopers proves they’re far better at pranking each other and messing with civilians than actually enforcing the law. It’s gloriously dumb, endlessly quotable, and has meow aged to absolute perfection.

Take MacGyver, strip away all the intelligence and competence, and give him a killer mullet — that’s MacGruber. It’s an aggressively loud and inappropriate masterpiece of cinematic stupidity.

Will Ferrell is a desk-jockey cop who loves paperwork, and Wahlberg is a hothead haunted by shooting a beloved sports icon. Somehow, these two paper-pushing losers become the city’s last hope in a buddy cop movie that hilariously derails at every turn.

Ron Burgundy is the most confident, spectacularly dumb news anchor of the ‘70s, whose world unravels with the arrival of a female co-anchor. The film is a goldmine of quotable nonsense, pointless brawls, and a surprisingly decent jazz flute solo.

A deadpan weirdo with zero social skills and a love for ligers tries to get his equally awkward friend elected as class president. Absolutely nothing happens, yet every mundane moment is somehow comedic genius. Just vote for Pedro and don't ask questions!

Will Ferrell is a NASCAR legend who loses everything after a French Formula One driver challenges his "if you ain't first, you're last" philosophy. It’s a long, glorious redneck fever dream fueled by cheap beer, prayer to baby Jesus, and a whole lot of speed.

Two disgraced FBI agents go deep undercover as a pair of blonde, high-society socialites to solve a kidnapping plot. It's an absolutely insane premise held together by Terry Crews' iconic performance and a thousand-mile stare from two men who look like melted mannequins.

Two stoner buddies embark on a mythic, late-night quest for tiny burgers, only to face off against racist cops, a rabid cheetah, and a deeply unhinged Neil Patrick Harris. It’s the dumbest, most important hero's journey you’ll ever witness.

After being humiliated at Oktoberfest, two brothers assemble a team of beer-guzzling misfits to compete in a secret, underground Beer Olympics. It’s every dumb frat joke you’ve ever heard, turned up to 11 and executed with surprisingly intense chugging montages.

A celebrity journalist and his producer land the interview of a lifetime with Kim Jong-Un, only to have the CIA task them with his assassination. The film is a glorious, juvenile mess that was so controversial it nearly started an international incident.

Derek Zoolander is a remarkably handsome male model whose entire world is shattered when he can’t turn left. Somehow, this leads to him being brainwashed into an international assassination plot, and yes, that is the actual plot of this brilliantly stupid movie.

Two rival male figure skaters, stripped of their gold medals for brawling, exploit a loophole by teaming up as the world's first same-sex pairs team. Prepare for skin-tight glitter, a ton of crotch jokes, and an absurdly dangerous move called the Iron Lotus.

A high school grad gets dumped, then drunkenly discovers his German pen pal is a beautiful woman, sparking the most chaotic and ill-advised European vacation of all time.

Will Ferrell owns, coaches, and plays for a failing ABA basketball team and will do anything to get them into the NBA, including wrestling a bear. It’s a ‘70s sports fever dream built on questionable afros, short shorts, and the invention of the alley-oop.

A bunch of celebrities get trapped in James Franco’s house during the actual biblical apocalypse and quickly descend into selfish, cannibalistic madness. It’s The Real World meets the Book of Revelation, but with way more weed and a surprise Backstreet Boys reunion.

Johnny Knoxville, disguised as an 86-year-old man, takes his "grandson" on a cross-country road trip composed entirely of pranking real, unsuspecting people. The result is a hidden-camera masterpiece that is equal parts cringe-inducing and hilariously inappropriate.

Andy Samberg plays a Justin Bieber-esque popstar whose celebrity ego and career spectacularly implode in this pitch-perfect mockumentary. It's a brilliant takedown of modern pop culture, and the soundtrack unironically slaps.
