50 Worst Comedy Movies
Laughter free-zones
Chairman Of The Board (1998)
The Movie: Crimson-locked "comedian" Carrot Top plays a surfer dude who somehow finds himself in charge of a major corporation in this lunkheaded caper.
Kerazy antics ensue.
Worst Gag: Carrot Top demonstrates his ineptitude at tennis, by repeatedly falling over during a game with a colleague.
This comic interlude lasts for approximately a third of the movie.
Sex And The City 2 (2010)
The Movie: The first film was frothily entertaining, but the second… incredibly long-winded, lacking in any sort of narrative drive and worryingly reliant on xenophobic cheap-shots.
Not good.
Worst Gag: The idea that wearing a Burkha is no biggie if you've got some designer gear on underneath isn't just unfunny, it's also woefully ignorant.
Year One (2009)
The Movie: Jack Black and Michael Cera work their way through gross-out humour 101, with a whole host of dick and fart jokes, and a dose of homophobia for good measure.
Worst Gag: "Best thing about Sodom? The sodomy."
That's some script you got there…

Scary Movie 2 (2001)
The Movie: A sequel to a parody of a parody… not that Hollywood is eating itself or anything, but this really is thin stuff…
Worst Gag: Chris Elliott's gross-out dinner service, in which he gets a gnarled claw into as many dishes as possible.
Disgusting, yes. Funny, no.
Son Of The Mask (2005)
The Movie: The long-delayed sequel that nobody wanted in which Jamie Kennedy proves himself a poor substitute for Jim Carrey.
"Somebody stop me!" Somebody should have.
Worst Gag: A truly excruciating dance sequence that makes Carrey's coco bongo routine look like Swan Lake .
Big Momma's House 2 (2006)
The Movie: In the first film, Martin Lawrence follows the tried and tested comedy career path of dressing up as a grossly overweight woman, and just about gets away with it. this time around, the script is much weaker, and the gag has worn perilously thin.
Worst Gag: The scene in which Big Momma hits the beach in her swimwear. As awful as it sounds.
Soul Plane (2004)
The Movie: An "urban" comedy, which can loosely be described as a parody of Airplane! Which was of course, a parody itself. Needless to say, it's a mess.
Worst Gag: Anything involving the airport security girls. irritatingly shrill at best, vaguely offensive at worst.
Dumb & Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd (2003)
The Movie: Dumb & Dumber might have played things pretty broad, but at least it had Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels to sell the stupidity.
This one is plenty dumb, but sadly, that's where the comparisons end.
Worst Gag: "Nice jugs" quips Lloyd as a hot girl walks past, only to reveal he's looking at a pottery magazine. Brilliant.
The Ugly Truth (2009)
The Movie: Katherine Heigl shows off her unhappy knack for picking the worst roles going as uptight, crank career-girl Abby in this chronically self-loathing fable, written (incredibly) by a trio of female screenwriters.
Worst Gag: Abby performs a full background check on a blind date she's been set up with. Controlling bloody women, eh?
Little Nicky (2000)
The Movie: Adam Sandler plays the son of the Devil in a film that must have been dreamed up by Lucifer himself.
Never has the frantically-mugging Sandler been worse, which is saying something.
Worst Gag: Tarantino's repeated cameo is a bit embarrassing really, and not remotely funny.
