Dumb and Dumber is soo much better than all of those Carey movies. And the thing is he really doesn't seem as "typical Carey" in Dumb and Dumber when compared to something like The Mask...

Ive said it before...I also believe Dumb and Dumber is the funniest movie of all time. Just never seen anything so consistantly funny from start to finish.

Other than Liar Liar I thought all those movies sucked. Granted, I loved Ace Ventura and The Mask when i was a kid though. Cable Guy sucked all around. It didn't help I think Matthew Broderick is a ****ty actor.

no order really, i've just laughed really really hard at these movies

If Hot Fuzz is anything like Shaun of the Dead (same guys right?) I don't know if I'd be able to get on board with it. I think comedies might be the film genre with the most polarizing opinions out there though.

Off the top of my head I'd go with something like

Hot Rod
Army of Darkness (tops in horror and comedy)
Wayne's World
MST3K The Movie (how could I not include it)
The Hangover

I think you're right. With every other kind of movie there's always the possibility that if you learn a little more about the context you might develop an appreciation for it. With comedies you basically either find it funny or you don't, learning more about it or having why it's funny explained to you isn't suddenly going to make you laugh when you watch it.

In no particular order:

Scary Movie (yes, after the second they got EXTREMELY monotonous, but the first one especially is really really funny)
I Love You, Man
Pineapple Express
Borat (faux pas, soz)
Dogma

Hot Fuzz was actually pretty funny.
Superbad wasn't funny all the time, at some points it was just sad beyond laughter.

The original Producers is also funny, and if we're including musicals Avenue Q earns a mention.
