And the series also contains the greatest line in the history of comedy.

Yes, both the surreal comedy and the detective context help you to feel the similarity. 🙂

As a child, I liked all the slapstick comedies. But trying to remember the last 10/15 years, I only remember one movie where I really had to laugh: Kung Fu Hustle (or Kung Fu)

Another movie which I found amusing (but prob wont qualify for comedy) is shoot em up.

Also thinking of it, Madadascar is great.

I seriously recommend watching Kung Fu Hustle.

I love both King Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer. They are clearly the products of a genius mind. 🙂

Unfortunately I think that all the trailers produced for the US market are very bad, so I’ll just share a scene of Shaolin Soccer:

I have watched the movies mainly in the un-dubbed version with subtitles but I also watched a few scenes with English dubbing. I have discovered that even if I don’t understand a word of the original language, those pauses so important for the jokes and for acting are often “lost in translation”, so I enjoyed better the movies in their original language with subtitles. 🙂

They say the Italian dubbing for Shaolin Soccer is awful. Since they had football stars do the voice acting.

I never saw it - only in Chinese with subtitles - and I probably never will.

I disagree, the dubbing is very hilarious! You can heard local dialect accents while looking at chinese faces! 😂

Do you see that “Hysterically funny” in the title? [That movie](http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0090103/?ref_=m_nmfmd_act_81) fully belongs to this category. Don’t watch the trailer, it’s crap and it contains also a quasi-spoiler. An outstanding performance by Cusack!

I don´t think a comedy ever grabbed me by the trailer…I mean caught my attention with it´s trailer. I will definitly check it out. I might be wrong but this might be the second earliest film I would have seen John Cusack in (though his role in Sixteen Candles a year earlier, was really minor).

Roberto Benigni movies are hysterical. One of the best, most gifted physical comedians ever.

I don´t know much too be honest. Outside of Life Is Beautiful I mostly know his work with Jim Jarmusch and bits and pieces of that Pinnochio movie that is supposed to be (and honstly also really looks) dreadful.

His movies are kind of hard to get by. I have seen Life is Beautiful, the Pinnochio thing (so so), but also The Monster and Johnny Stecchino. He was in Asterix and Obelix too, very good

I’d like to watch Burn After Reading again. That made me laugh a lot. Brad Pitt was actually pretty funny. And as for David Rasche and JK Simmons – best ending ever 😂 (spoiler, sort of)
