Office Debate: Best Comedy of the Decade

We're officially removed from the oughts, and now 2010 is behind us, so what say you? What was the best comedic film of the first decade of the 21st century?

I've got it down to three:

  • Borat - Equal parts slapstick comedy and social satire. Made America take a long hard look at itself and laugh at its own absurdity. A feat for cinema as a whole as much as comedies.
  • Wedding Crashers - Great cast, great cameos, great lines, gorgeous women, the most dynamic rom-com villain ever, and probably the most rewatchable movie of the decade.
  • The 40 Year Old Virgin - Introduced the world to the Judd Apatow brand of highly improvizational comedy, which became the standard (in film as well as television) for the remainder of the decade and beyond. Also triggered the meteoric rise to A-list for Steve Carrell, Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen, and even Jane Lynch.

Of those I listed, I think the best is Wedding Crashers, for this reason; which film do you think people will still be watching 50 years from now? I think it's got to be Wedding Crashers.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      This thread is turning into bizarro world. Most of the anti-Bryce crowd was heavily pro CJ Stroud so I am confused how that ties into any racial element.  Not saying we still don't have some of that crowd in here but it's not like the Prime Cam years where this place was rife with those types.  The anti-Bryce sentiment SEEMS to MOSTLY be rooted in his underwhelming physical stature/abilities and/or his underwhelming overall career to date. All this being amplified by the massive trade haul we gave away for him. So, technically we have missed the opportunity to draft Jaden Daniels AND passed on CJ Stroud. Fairly or not, Bryce hasn't measured up to those type of players at all.

      Because 2 coaches have not allowed him to do it.  And in a real Hail Mary scenario the throw is  further than the clip shown and likey doesn’t allow a clean setup. You can’t go over the top.  So you have to let WRs get downfield and the technical throw is going to be further and as you have to drop back to by time and likely won’t have an ideal setup.

      I can’t stand silent any longer.. He has s sickness.  It will defy any logic people try to bring.  He tried to deny us the freedom of having a negative opinion of a player simply by the color of our skin. Yet we have positive opinions of many black players  Love some of them   I guess they must be house *you know the word* if we like them   I bring it to this: let’s say you are black. are there black people that you don’t like? I brt there are.  But no white people are allowed to dislike them? Because they are maybe shitty people of shitty players or there is just something about them you don’t line. We have to drop this way of thinking.
