#68 (AFI):
The Awful Truth

Year: 1937

Directed by: Leo McCarey

Written by: Sidney Buchman, Viņa Delmar, Arthur Richman

Starring: Irene Dunne, Cary Grant, Ralph Bellamy

Seanbaby: I think movies in the 1930s are automatically funnier because the people spent the rest of the day eating chicken skeleton soup and handfuls of dirt, and then watched their parents die. Watching Cary Grant act clever is going to be hilarious compared to watching your family melt into a cholera puddle. Today, where people have food, medicine, and sex that doesn't make babies, we can watch Cary Grant act clever and not even put it in the top ten funniest anythings that happened that day. Unless you work with cancer patients.

Mark: Because Patch Adams proved that trying to do something funny with cancer patients is going to fail as miserably as their livers.


#68 (IFLS):
Trading Places

Year: 1983

Directed by: John Landis

Written by: Timothy Harris, Herschel Weingrod

Starring: Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd, Ralph Bellamy

Seanbaby: When we replaced the ancient handbook for boredom, The Awful Truth with Trading Places, the Calculando Calrissian 2000 made sure Ralph Bellamy didn't lose his spot as the Star of the 68th Funniest Movie of All Time. So it's because of the brilliance of our uncontrollable robot calculator slave that a gravedigger isn't scraping that off Ralph's headstone right now.
