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.

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
