Midnight Run---DeNiro and Charles Grodin
The Scout-- Albert Brooks
Mother ---Albert Brooks

[Bulldog Bruce]

I agree in that the list is subjective and I would not agree with some of it. The point of including it was that anything on the list can't be considered obscure.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Anything with John Candy in it was a hit with me regardless of it's reviews

 

[jxndawg]

Oh wow, The 'Burbs: "I want to kill everyone, satan is good, satan is our pal."

 

[Bully13]

Midnight Run---DeNiro and Charles Grodin
The Scout-- Albert Brooks
Mother ---Albert Brooks

Midnight Run kicked.

anybody ever seen "Where the Buffalo Roam" starring Bill Murray? plays the part of a drunken Rolling Stone sports writer (the famous Hunter Thompson) covering the Super Bowl in Miami.

tons of weirdness. I would watch again.

Raising Arizona

Son you gotta a panty on your head

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

"Hey Pinocchio, where you think you're going?"

Bruce Dern was hilarious in that movie.

 

[tcdog70]

Used cars is one of my all time favorites


Another is Hollywood knights, first movies for Franny the nanny, tony danza and michele phifer
HE HELDS IT WIF HES DEEKK

Newbomb Turk..and . Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia

 

[FreeDawg]

I got The Burbs and Money Pit in a bargain bin for like $3. Both movies on 1 DVD

 

[FreeDawg]

It's not really a comedy but Howard the Duck trips me out. The whole concept is hilariously asinine

 

[MaxwellSmart]

The Trouble With Harry.

 

[mount lefroy]

Midnight Run---DeNiro and Charles Grodin
The Scout-- Albert Brooks
Mother ---Albert Brooks

You win this thread. I've never laughed so hard at a movie as Midnight Run. Groden and DeNiro were a perfect team.

 

[BigMotherTucker]

Used cars is my favorite obscure comedy.

 

[eckie1]

A couple...

"One Crazy Summer", with John Cusack, Bobcat Goldthwaite and Demi Moore

"Real Men", with Jim Belushi and John Ritter

 

[msstatelp1]

"Second Hand Lions" with Robert Duval and Michael Caine. Kind of a dramatic comedy or comedic drama.

 

[thatsbaseball]

That's a good movie

 

[Original48]

Gotta add A Mighty Wind to go along with this one.

Best In Show

.

 

[PineGroveBully]

You Kill Me with Tea Leoni and Ben Kingsley

 

[Grove Sh*tter]

About a nine on the old tension scale there, Rube

 

[13thEagle]

Newbomb Turk..and . Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Honestly I really do think Young Frankenstein is obscure. There's so many people who have never seen or heard of it

Saw the play in NY on Broadway. It was fantastic as well.

 

[MaroonOldCrow]

"Volunteers" - Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, John Candy

[The Usual Suspect]

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles-Don't know if it is obscure though. The scene at the rental car desk leaves me in stitches.

 

[Wizard of bulldogery]

Chumscrubber is an obscure comedy. #Fact

 

[InTheIttaBenaHotSun]

Midnight Run is a great movie....."So why are you so unpopular with the Chicago Police Department?"

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Strange Brew.

 

[InTheIttaBenaHotSun]

Royal Tenenbaums/Rushmore.....not sure if these would be considered obscure but these are two of my favorites.

 

[Palmettodog]

The Survivors. Robin Williams and Jerry Reed.

Any 80's B Horror/Gore movie.

 

[DawgInThe256]

Better Off Dead
Flirting with Disaster
Rat Race

I agree with an earlier poster that The Gods Must Be Crazy is the gold standard for great obscure comedies.

 

[The Usual Suspect]

Crazy People- Dudley Moore

 

[DAWG61]

Spies Like Us - Chevy Chase and Dan Akroyd movie

 

[xxxWalkTheDawg]

Harold and Kumar go to White Castle

Thought that movie would be insanely dumb but turned out to be pretty funny.

And it second (thirded?? Fortheethed?) the Burbs. "Well there goes the GD brownies!"

 

[jakldawg]

If you are into that sort of movie, you might enjoy Amazon Women on the Moon as well.
The rest of my list is campy horror/humor
Army of Darkness, Bubba Ho-Tep, and Dead-Alive (from N.Z. The directorial debut of Peter Jackson)

 

[Bulldog from Birth]

Rat Race cracks me up.

 

[EthelTheBulldog]

Kingpin with Woody Harrelson...totally forgot.

 

[amcdan2000]

Idiocracy

 

[Requiem For A Dawg]

The Graduate is #9 on that list.

How the 17 is that considered a comedy?

 

[josebrown]

Napoleon Dynamite, Grandma's Boy

 

[josebrown]

I went to see it 11 times at the old $1 movie theater in SoJax... Love it..
