Are you picky when it comes to comedy movies?

I prefer the classics. John Candy, Richard Pryor, Chevy Chase... I am not a fan of stupid comedy. Such as the parody's.

Pryor and Chase annoyed me. John Candy I thought was brilliantly funny...all the people from Second City were hilarious. Eugene Levy, Martin Short, Catherine O'Hara. Andrea Martin, Gilda Radner...they don't make them like that anymore

@Fernie I just showed my gf some classic SCTV on You Tube and we were holding our sides laughing. I remember that NBC used to air it after SNL and many times it was 10x as funny as SNL.

@uncalled4 I thought it was way funnier than SNL...MADTV was also

Classic comedy goes back to the 1930's and 40's, the screwball type for example, the finest example i know of is His Girl Friday, directed by Howard Hawks.

I can be, but I am not a purist. It's strictly on a case by case basis.

@uncalled4 that's a good way to go.
