Looking for some funny movies to pull me out of my post election malaise.

Go back to Caddyshack when I need a pick me up.
It just reminds me of that time in my life, kinda free and easy. With a great comic team.

EYESORE 9001
(28,100 posts)Even going so far as suggesting that I modify my behavior in order to come off as more dude-like. Personally, I think The Dude would have us revisit his saga while in an elevated state. Ill refrain from suggesting how one attains that lofty perch.

(28,100 posts)The same attitude that prompted an elementary school teacher to remark that I was like the living embodiment of Alfred E. Neumanns what, me worry? persona. I did bowl in a league in younger days, but I would have a Black Russian instead.
Ted Danson in The Man Inside. It is light hearted and Danson is a funny, dapper lay private detective.
And a raucous period series called The Decameron. OMG! Hysterical. Especially if you are a fan of historical (hysterical) TV.
Also, a short series called Lunatics. It is very irreverent and hysterical.

Some outdated language and references.
Also "Two's Company" also British about 1975.
A bit dated, but quite funny.

TuxedoKat
(3,827 posts)Has Dana Carvey as a con man. It's an older movie with some politically incorrect humor, as long as you allow for those parts. There was one scene where I just laughed my head off it was so good and unexpected! If you see it, let me know how you liked it.
