Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy, and a memorable cameo in Dirty Work, possibly Norm MacDonald's finest work. Since then....meh. Will Ferrell Talladega Nights, Step Brothers, The Other Guys, Anchorman.....those films alone takes him out of the terrible bucket. If there was an overrated thread almost all of those movies would be on it. Billy Madison and Wedding Singer were alright. I've never seen a good Will Ferrell movie. Every movie he does is the same sh!t. Hahaha 50 year old man does something you'd expect a child to do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can accept that, it's the reaction I usually get when talking comedy movies. I am younger than most on the boards, and I didn't see a lot of those late 70s/early 80s movies until I was an adult and think most of them are painfully unfunny.

Mike Honcho 5,549 Posted February 25, 2023 As the 'movie guy' I've been thinking about this for a bit. So here's my first pick in the "underrated" comedies category, Better Off Dead. I'll saying with only a 10 million dollar box office this movie qualifies as underrated. Most of the movie comes off as a series of skits that the director thought of, but most of them work. And with a supporting cast like Curtis Armstrong going all-in and delivering lines like "This is pure snow! It's everywhere! Do you have any idea what the street value of this mountain is?", you get a damn funny movie. And don't get me started on the Japanese guys who learned English from watching Howard Cosell.
