The defining feature of a good comedy movie is that it makes you laugh. So what comedies made you laugh the hardest? Name your Top 3 and I will compile them into a ranking, one point per mentioned movie. (Last update after 245 comments)
So my last post about Robert Sean Leonard/James Wilson appearing in SVU / other shows made me start wondering what's everyone doing post-House.
I'm including all major characters including Park/Adams/Masters, not including Wilson's ex wives and House's "friends" (Russian chick/Alvie)
So let's start with Hugh/Greg:
Since House ended in the lovely late spring of 2012, Hugh has been somewhat-busy, touring with his band and recording new music. In 2012; he lent his voice to Dr. Cockroach Ph.D. in a video short Shrek's Thrilling Tales, no idea what's that about. He then appears in a movie called Mr. Pip as the main character called Mr. Watts. Then he had a partially small break of acting and went on a pretty big tour to accompany his first studio album Let Them Talk which brings us to 2013 when he releases his second studio album Didn't It Rain and goes on a massive tour across the world (Wiki list is incomplete, visit Hugh's official site for past tour dates). He was cast in a sci-fi movie Tomorrowland in early 2013 but the movie came out in 2015, 5 years after it was initially announced, and it was a total failure in box office (earning around $208.6 million against a budget of $190 million, and that's not including marketing and other costs which made the movie's budget skyrocket to over $320 million) Fast forward to 2014; he's still touring Europe mostly (I saw him in Belgrade, great show, wish he went on a tour again :( ), in the meantime he again used his magnificent voice; for voice acting this time in a game called LittleBigPlanet 3 he voiced the Newton character. In 2015; he joined the Veep tv show for 6 episodes in season 4. In 2015; he was cast for an upcoming mini-series by BBC/AMC called The Night Manager as an arms dealer called Richard Onslow Roper. It's scheduled to air on 16th April on AMC. Since then, he's done a small stint on the Jimmy Kimmel show with George Clooney, his Tomorrowland co-star.
Robert Season Leonard/James Wilson
Since House ended he appeared in Law and Order: SVU in 3 total episodes, 16x21, 17x03 and 17x10 so it's more of a somewhat-recurring role. He appeared in 9 episodes of some zombie tv show Falling Skies Guest starred in The good wife (6x03) and Battle Creek (1x13) and The Blacklist (1x07) and that's about it. no movies or anything like that, he may or may not appear in a few more SVU episodes, time will tell only.
Omar Epps/Eric Foreman
Omar hasn't been very active, he was the main character of a fantasy drama TV show called Resurrection, it was cancelled on May 7th by ABC after 2 seasons. He's currently filming a movie called A Meyers Christmas, scheduled for release on November 11th this year. He's also in a tv Movie called Shooter which is based on the 2007 movie Shooter, go figure. No exactly release date yet. Nothing else. Literally nothing.
Lisa Edelstein/Lisa Cuddy
Now mind you, after not accepting a pay cut for the 8th season of House (I'm kinda glad she didn't, the writers did a good job of cutting her off in the somewhat perfect S7 finale, it's like they knew she won't come back for next season even though the contracts were offered during the summer break, long after the episode has been written/shot/aired), Lisa has been fairly busy, busier than OmaRobert that's for sure. She guest-starred as herself in the 3rd season premiere of the comedy TV Show Children's hospital Back in 2007, she started occasionally appearing on American Dad, she returned to the show for an episode in 2011 (7x02). Then she guest starred in 3 episodes of The Good Wife (3x03,04,05) In 2012 she appeared in a Crime movie Blue-Eyed Butcher And also in 2012 she guest stars in an episode of Elementary which is a modern rendition of Sherlock Holmes with a female Watson with Sherlock living in NYC. (1x08) So, that brings us to 2013 which was fairly busy to say the least; She guest stars in 2 episodes of a comedy TV show called House of Lies, season 2 episodes 5 and 7 Yet another guest star role, TV show called Scandal, which is some form of a thrilledrama, season 2 episode 16 She then stars in a comedy/romance movie called She Loves Me Not After that, it's 2 drama shorts, Evermore and Three Hours Between Planes And then she gets the role in some animated TV show, The Legend of Korra, voice acting that is.. She appears in season 2 and 3. Then she gets a recurring role in a comedy/drama Castle, season 6 episodes: 01, 02, 03, also un-credited in 8x02 And then in 2013/14 she finally gets a main role in an all new TV show called Girlfriends' guide to divorce, I think it's a neat show. After joining that show she only did 1 movie called Joshy, it was released a couple weeks ago. Phew, that's all about Cuddy. As I said, really busy woman! And she got married in May 2014.
Jesse SpenceRobert Chase
Oh Jesse, he's been real busy alright, right after House he got the role of Lt. Matt Casey of Chicago Fire Department Firehouse 51 in Chicago Fire, he appeared in several Chicago P.D. episodes (spin-off from Fire), it's honestly a great show and I love it. And no, he doesn't use an Australian accent there, which is sad. Join us; /ChicagoFireNBC/ChicagoPD and /ChicagoMed (an ER show) He didn't do much besides Fire, he lent his voice for some animated tv show called Phineas and Ferb He appeared last year in a crime movie The Girl is in Trouble That's all for Casey, I mean; Chase.
Jennifer Morrison/Alison Cameron
It's really late here so I'll keep everything short from now on; she left the show ages ago, she did a lot of stuff. most famous I guess is HIMYM where she appears in Season 7. Also Once upon a time
Peter Jacobson/Chris Taub
Taub did a lot of stuff, mostly guest starring (Chicago PD, It's always sunny in Philly, L&O: SVU), some movies here and there.. Recurring role in: Ray Donovan, Colony
Olivia Wilde/Remy Hadley/13
Recurring role: Doll & Em Portlandia BoJack Horseman Main role: Vinyl I also remember she was in one movie where she was 100% nude, that gif was flying around /celebs like crazy. Can't remember which though.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 43%. (I'm a bot)
In fact it was listicle website Ranker, who gave Will Ferrell's Christmas comedy the prestigious title of 'The Best PG Christmas Movie'. If you ask me, Elf ranks as one of Ferrell's worst films, I love the guy but sometimes you have to call it like it is. Weirdly enough Elf was directed by actor Jon Favreau, who was responsible for the first two Iron Man films - basically, without him, we wouldn't have the current incarnation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so I guess I'll give him a pass for directing Elf. If we're talking the best ever Christmas films for kids though; the aforementioned The Nightmare Before Christmas and Jingle All The Way with Arnold Schwarzenegger should be high on that list. I can only assume your taste is a bit more mature, so if you're after a more r-rated Christmas flick, I'd say you can't go wrong with Bad Santa, A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas or Scrooged, starring the legend, Bill Murray. Fun fact: according to IMDb when Ferrell was filming Elf in New York, he was inadvertently responsible for 'several minor traffic accidents' as he walked through the Lincoln Tunnel.

http://screenhooked.com/2014/12/25/the-interview/ Seth Rogen, Even Goldberg and James Franco have had an unusual year to say the least. After being threatened by Kim Jong Un, having their distributing company hacked, and having their film pulled from theaters, The Interview is now available to stream on YouTube and Google Play, and it’s getting a limited release in theaters. You all know the premise by now. Dave Skylark (Franco) is a pop culture news talk show host who is seen as an incompetent journalist by his peers. Aaron (Rogen), his executive producer, wants his show to have serious cultural value. When they discover Kim Jong Un (Randall Park) is a fan of Skylark, the two go to North Korea for an interview, and CIA Agent Lacey (Lizzy Caplan) recruits them to assassinate him. Something I should start with that everyone should already know: This is a comedy directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. The expectations for this should not be as high as they are, because it’s easy for this movie to be overshadowed by the controversy it has created. Honestly, this isn’t really their best work. It’s a ballsy move for sure, but once you get past the concept, the movie is pretty basic. It starts out with the greatest cameo I could have asked for, but that’s my own personal bias talking, and this is one thing I’d rather not spoil. After that, the comedy goes downhill for me. Franco is more annoying than funny, and Rogen is forced to play the mostly-straight-man. Caplan is incredibly underused as the CIA sort of disappears for a third of the film. The assassination is more or less a subplot in a story of bonding and betrayal between Skylark and Kim. The film suffers from the same problems as 2012’s The Dictator. There could have been more time spent satirizing both the American and the North Korean governments, but instead we get the same dick and shit jokes we’d find in a Harold and Kumar movie. The Interview is essentially Dave and Aaron Go to Pyongyang. Aaron’s romance with Sook (Diana Bang), a high ranking official of North Korea, was interesting and weirdly believable. Franco’s love for Lord of the Rings references sticks out like a couple of severed fingers, and Katy Perry’s Firework continues to be one of the most overplayed pop songs of the decade. If there’s a shiny part of this over-hyped turd, it’s Randall Park, who should be given minor award consideration for his hilarious, but humanizing, portrayal of Kim Jong Un. Other than that it’s semi-predictable. Goldberg and Rogen have a talent for making their films have the ending everyone expects, but throwing endless twists and turns on otherwise formulaic plots that turn them into 2-hour themed sketch shows. That’s not a bad thing, either. I really enjoyed this movie, but The Interview might have been better if it took itself more seriously with its concept. The Interview was sort of destined to fail given the amount of publicity it has gotten over the last couple of weeks. I do hope the success of this movie starts a trend of online releases. As enjoyable as the movie might be, there are too many instances of stupidity and easy fixes for the convenience of plot or cheap laughs for me to say I loved it. I’m surprised by the small amount of laughs given from scenes outside of the trailers. I can recommend The Interview for Rogen and Franco fans, but not for anyone who wants to see a smart political satire. Hell, watch it for the sake of pissing off North Korea. Merry Christmas everyone! Action-Stoner-Comedy: B- Average: C http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2788710/
http://screenhooked.com/2015/12/03/the-night-before/ Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg take time off from causing international incidents to bring us a nice holiday family flick. On Christmas Eve, 2001, Ethan (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) lost his parents to a drunk driver, and every Christmas Eve since has been spent with his best friends Isaac (Rogen), Chris (Anthony Mackie), and copious amounts of drugs and alcohol. Now that Isaac and his wife (Jillian Bell) are having a child, and Chris is a famous football player, the time has come to end their tradition, and Ethan manages to secure tickets to a Christmas party of mythical proportions. As far as stoner comedies go, it had everything it needed. Lots of drugs, decent trip humor, and a bonding experience for all to enjoy. But when compared to other prominent pieces of the genre like the Harold and Kumar movies, you can point out things they did better, except those came in long trip scenes with some crazy montages. The Night Before provides short bursts of trip humor from Rogen, which I grew tiresome of at some points, but a lot of the jokes really stick the landing. Usually the best part of a Rogen/Goldberg picture is a celebrity cameo, but those here did not land nearly as well as the Eminem cameo at the opening of The Interview. That being said, the ones they used were solid. The subplots surrounding the three friends were sort of dragged out a little too long, and Mackie has multiple stories of which we only get bits and pieces. Rogen’s church visit, which we all saw in the trailers, would have been much funnier fresh. The real star of the show is Gordon-Levitt, who I was rooting for the entire time, but his story gets bogged down by not being able to explain himself on the spot, which drags out the movie an extra 10-15 minutes. I seriously would have enjoyed this movie a hell of a lot more if the climactic sing-a-long was more successful, because I was waiting for it to end after sincerely enjoying the first 90 minutes or so. The film often hearkens back to classic Christmas movies such as A Christmas Story, It’s a Wonderful Life, and Die Hard. This compound of Christmas-Stoner-Comedy manages to be clever, somewhat heartfelt and laugh-out-loud funny. While it intentionally derails itself for a time, the story is easy to follow. Though predictable at times, The Night Before makes for a wonderful Christmas movie for you and your friends to watch and bro-out.

867stevo: #167 Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)
4th November 1st January Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay Follows the cross-country adventures of the pot-smoking duo as they try to outrun authorities who suspect them of being terrorists when they try to sneak a bong on board their flight to Amsterdam. As wacky and hilarious as the first. I don't really go into much detail when I review these as I'm not looking for plot holes or poor acting or anything like that. It's entertaining and has a lot of laughs in it. 7/10 I'll be watching "A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas" closer to Christmas obviously :)
867stevo: #179 - #189 A bunch of movies to finish off the challenge
Haven't posted here since 20th November! But I have been watching a lot of movies, and I completed the challenge :) (as of 1st Jan) I'm pretty sure there are movies I have watched that I have forgotten about but these are the ones I do remember. I'll keep the reviews short since there's a lot to catch up on: 21st Nov - 31st Dec How the Grinch Stole Christmas A creature is intent on stealing Christmas. Jim Carrey is great as the Grinch, and it was a nice movie to watch close to Christmas. Haven't seen the original so can't compare it. 6.5/10 Come Back to Me Sarah & Josh are married suburbanites. After a car accident, Sarah suffers blackouts & ends up pregnant though Josh is sterile. As her life spirals she hides a camera in her home & unlocks a horrific secret with far-reaching consequences. Very strange movie, it was average right up until the very last minute. The ending was really not expected and instantly changed my opinion on the whole movie. 7/10 National Lampoons Christmas Vacation The Griswold family's plans for a big family Christmas predictably turn into a big disaster. Solid Christmas movie with a few laughs here and there. 7/10 That Awkward Moment Three best friends find themselves where we've all been - at that confusing moment in every dating relationship when you have to decide "So...where is this going?" Not at all bad, but nowhere near great. It's just meh. While I wasn't really enjoying it that much, I was happy to carry on watching it. The one good thing I'll say about it is I really like the cast. The movie was wasted though with a cast like that. 5.5/10 Horrible Bosses Dale, Kurt and Nick decide to start their own business but things don't go as planned because of a slick investor, prompting the trio to pull off a harebrained and misguided kidnapping scheme. I really enjoyed this movie, more so than the first one I think. A lot of laughs and I could honestly watch a third movie with this cast in it. 7.5/10 A very Harold & Kumar Christmas Six years after their Guantanamo Bay adventure, stoner buds Harold Lee and Kumar Patel cause a holiday fracas by inadvertently burning down Harold's father-in-law's prize Christmas tree. I loved the first two, so I knew before watching it I would love it. It's the same craziness as the first two, but Christmasy. The second one is my favourite of the trilogy though. 7.5/10 Starter for 10 Set in 1985, working-class student Brian Jackson (McAvoy) navigates his first year at Bristol University. A Netflix random that was actually quite good. A lot of good actors in this, and Alice Eve. She made the movie easier to watch for sure. 6/10 Dumb & Dumber The cross-country adventures of two good-hearted but incredibly stupid friends. A wacky comedy that you can't take too seriously, laughed at least a few times. 7/10 Dumb & Dumber To It wasn't bad but it felt unnecessary, the first one was much much better. As far as sequels go, there's much worse. 6/10 Big Eyes A drama about the awakening of the painter Margaret Keane, her phenomenal success in the 1950s, and the subsequent legal difficulties she had with her husband, who claimed credit for her works in the 1960s. Don't really know what to make of this. The only thing that really got me interested in watching this movie was the big eyes in the drawings. Very creepy. But in the movie, you hardly see them. It's more about the drama between the characters, which at times goes over the top. 6/10
