what are some comedies that many film "buffs" would stick their nose up at that are your favorites? ones that i enjoy very much:

wayne's world - tops the list, i've seen it more than 20 times
sorority boys - really funny, a shame nobody's ever seen it
billy madison - my favorite of the sandler oeuvre (like, his stupid comedies for all you PTA fanboys screaming blasphemy)
saving silverman - or anything with jack black for that matter
freddy got fingered - sheer brilliance
orgazmo - oh man, this movie is just plain funny

i can't think of others now, but i'll get back to you on that, i'm sure.
The corpses all hang headless and limp bodies with no surprises and the blood drains down like devil's rain we'll bathe tonight I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls Demon I am and face I peel to see your skin turned inside out, 'cause gotta have you on my wall gotta have you on my wall, 'cause I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls collect the heads of little girls and put 'em on my wall hack the heads off little girls and put 'em on my wall I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls

Orgazmo is pretty damn funny! Anything from Troma has a special place in my heart. But my favorite comedy of all time is Trading Places. That movie rocked!

BASEketball
Zoolander

Kingpin

Slap Shot

EDIT: yeah, Shaftr reminded me about Road Trip
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

3 Ninjas and 3 Ninjas Kick Back- I loved these movies as a kid.  They're still entertaining in a goofy sort of way.

Airplane is a classic.

And of course the Naked Gun & Hot Shots movies.

Yeah... Nothing beats Airplane... all stupid movies following were trying to be as good, but most failed, including the sequel.

Top Secret was pretty good, same with Hot Shots (mostly Part Deux) and the first 2 Naked Guns.

Also Mel Brook's earlier shit... Spaceballs, Blazing Saddles, Young Frank...

wet hot american summer

I didn't know that was exactly looked down upon, but I guess that's because hardly anybody has seen it.  Man it's great.  If you like WHAS and The State then check out www.stellacomedy.com

Even funnier is Roger Ebert's review of Wet Hot American Summer.

Stupid fun comedies are great.  I like Dumb and Dumber (but who doesn't?), Office Space, Ace Ventura 1 & 2, Naked Gun series, and Hot Shots, to name a few.
