Office Debate: Best Comedy of the Decade


Captroop

Recommended Posts

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.

    • So... what metrics for production do you believe display these issues/limitations best? Are we only using total passing yards, height, and weight thresholds? If so, then what are those thresholds?
    • I mean as far as his size goes it's all over his tape bouncing up and down on his toes in and around the pocket trying to see the field and defenses know this as well as we do but if folks here want to live in never never land and pretend it's not a thing that's their prerogative. Even our head coach has made it a key focal point to get his footwork under control. But it's still something Bryce is going to be tested on early and often no matter how many keystrokes anyone here commits to the narrative it isn't an issue.
    • It speaks volumes that when asked to define a clear performance threshold the responses instead fixate on Bryce's size. It reinforces what’s been clear for a while now... that for some, it has never been nor will it ever be about production. Any struggles will always be chalked up to his frame, and any strong play will be downplayed or disqualified via highly mobile goalposts.
