We all know that laughter is said to prolong life, but what should we do when these days’ comedy titles are not as hilarious as they were before? Luckily for us, Reddit recalled some of the most unforgettable comedy gold movies to have a great chill with.
Here are 6 Reddit-approved comedies that will make you laugh to tears.
1. Tropic Thunder (2008)
First comes an action comedy that parodies the tropes of war films, as well as Hollywood movie production as a whole. Its plot revolves around a group of actors making a Vietnam War movie when they’re caught off guard by the death of their director.
2. What We Do in the Shadows (2014)
This mockumentary is probably the most famous vampire movie after Twilight. Taika Waititi’s iconic comedy focuses on the ridiculous exploits of several vampires who live together in a dark apartament, and it won’t leave you indifferent to their awkward adventures.

Exclusive: Writer-director-producer Judd Apatow has left UTA, ending one of the most tenured relationships with a major filmmaker and a major agency.
Apatow spent 30 years at the agency, 20 of them with David Kramer, and he remains managed by Mosaic’s Jimmy Miller and lawyered by Ziffrin Brittenham. These long relationships often come to a close, usually when the client wants to shake things up at a moment when it is hard, particularly in the comedy space. It was amicable, and I hear he’ll be meeting with CAA and WME.
But this is a moment to tip the hat at how the agency helped Apatow build his brand, and how Apatow’s prolific successes were a major part of building UTA. There aren’t many tenured relationships that led to as much success as Apatow has had and how many careers he has launched in that time. That goes from...

Here are 5 of the subgenre’s must-watches, chosen by Reddit’s fair judgment and available on Netflix.
A Few Good Men (1992)

Last night during Disney's 2024 Upfronts presentation, we finally got release dates for Agatha All Along and Daredevil: Born Again, as well as confirmation that Ironheart will debut on Disney+ sometime in 2025.
New logos for the shows were also unveiled, and while teaser trailers were screened for those in attendance, they have not (and likely won't be) released online.
Different versions of the teasers are sure to be officially released before too long, but for now, we have a breakdown of the footage (via IGN).
The Born Again promo sees Matt Murdock don his familiar red costume, as his voiceover warns someone that the "entire system is against you... it's often David vs. Goliath." We then catch glimpses of Kingpin, Foggy Nelson, and Karen Page, and shots from a brief action sequence.
Right at the end, Murdock is asked, "what kind of a lawyer are you." He responds with, "a really good one,...

Christina Applegate, who was recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, opened up about her past struggles with eating disorders for the first time on the latest episode of her MeSsy podcast with Jamie-Lynn Sigler. Applegate told Sigler she developed an eating disorder when she was eight and struggled with it until her thirties.
The Dead To Me Star recalled she was derided for her weight when she was eight when a friend called her “fat.” The actress shared she had started to feel her issues with weight crop back up after she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2020, noting, “When you lived with anorexia as long as I did in my early life. It always plagues me, body dysmorphia and all of those things.”
Christina Applegate revealed she does not look in mirrors after she gained 45 pounds due to the illness.

Zayn Malik Reveals He Was Kicked Off Dating Apps. (Photo Credit – Instagram)
According to Zayn Malik, even celebrities are not inoculated against the challenges of dating. In an interview with Nylon, former One Direction member Zayn Malik said he was kicked out of a popular dating app after having difficulty convincing folks he was actually the famous singer.
Zayn Malik told Nylon that dating apps have proved to be a successful tool for him to meet prospective dates, as suspicious people accused him of catfishing them using celebrities’ pictures. He said, “It’s not been too successful for me, I’ll be honest. Everyone accused me of catfishing. They’re like, ‘What are you using Zayn Malik’s pictures for?’

Looking back, can we imagine a bright-eyed Rebel Wilson stepping onto the set of Paul Feig’s 2011 comedy flick Bridesmaids, ready to dive into the challenging waters of Hollywood? Who could have predicted the bittersweet symphony that would follow her joy at receiving her first American paycheck?
Recently, this cheery Australian actress, known for her exceptional wit and comedic timing, humbly shared her success story and the financial struggle during the Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett. Despite being cast in a hit 2011 comedy that catapulted her into the spotlight, Wilson revealed that the joy was tempered by the harsh reality of a $3,500 salary being swallowed up almost entirely by SAG-AFTRA “union” dues.

When Marvel Studios first announced its WandaVision sequel, it was titled Agatha: House of Harkness. It then switched to Agatha: Coven of Chaos before becoming Agatha: Darkhold Diaries.
Along the way, we've also seen evidence that it could be named Agatha All Along, Agatha: The Witches' Road, and Agnes of Westview, with the prevailing theory being that these are all episode titles and not the official final name of the Disney+ series.
Moments ago, Marvel Studios added another name to the mix by posting a logo to X which features Agatha: The Lying Witch with Great Wardrobe.
That's one heck of a title, eh?
We'll see if this one sticks, but it's worth noting that as we write this, the studio has already removed the Tweet/X post in question. It's hard to believe this was sent out by mistake and the more likely possibility is it's yet another part...

With X-Men '97 in full swing on Disney+ and Deadpool & Wolverine fast approaching, will Marvel Studios soon pull back the curtain on WandaVision follow-up, Agatha?
That's the prevailing theory because the profile picture on WandaVision's social media accounts has just been updated with a splash of familiar purple. It doesn't give us much to go on, though we'd say there has to be some significance to this when Agatha Harkness remains trapped in Westview thanks to the Scarlet Witch!
We'd caution against getting too excited about an imminent reveal because it's previously been reported that Agatha is aiming for a September launch. Disney+ has also developed a frustrating habit of promising its MCU offerings surprisingly close to their respective premieres.
Despite it feeling like we've been waiting a long time for the series, things appear to be going well for a spin-off which has previously been dubbed "Agnes of Westview,...

Hollywood actress Isla Fisher is no stranger to comedy. She has been a part of a number of memorable films in the genre including Wedding Crashers, Confessions of a Shopaholic, and Hot Rod. You would think Fisher would have gotten used to the occasionally bizarre requirements of the genre and the lengths that actors will go to for a laugh.
But as it turns out, the actress was not prepared for one particular scene involving an elephant in the movie Isla Fisher made with her then-husband Sacha Baron Cohen, 2016’s The Brothers Grimsby. Cohen, of course, is known for pushing the boundaries of comedy like no other actor working today. Things got so intense that Fisher regretted bringing her parents on set to watch the scene being filmed.

Actor Isla Fisher once confided that being married to Sacha Baron Cohen wasn’t exactly stress-free. Because of Cohen’s antics, Fisher was always concerned that she and her ex-husband would get into legitimate legal trouble.

Fisher and Cohen may have married in 2010, but they’ve known each other since the year 2000, and started dating in 2001. This means that Fisher was with Cohen during many of the raunchiest moments of the actor’s career. Cohen was known for his creative and provocative alter-egos. And although these characters were fictional, they famously interacted in real-world settings.

A quartet of fast-rising British names are coming together for a buzzy new project launching at the Cannes market.
Bella Ramsey, Louis Partridge and Ruby Stokes are set to lead Sunny Dancer, the sophomore feature from George Jaques. Embankment Films is handling global pre-sales of the film, which it says showcases the “best of new British talent.”
“Sunny Dancer” follows Ivy (Ramsey), a teenager in remission from cancer, whose gloriously outspoken mum and well-intentioned dad insist she attend Children Run Free Camp, a summer retreat for young adults affected by cancer. The camp’s slogan, “Where kids come to kid,” does little to alleviate Ivy’s apprehension, and a quick Google search confirms her fears when she stumbles upon a cringeworthy promotional video filled with tacky messages and clichéd sunsets. As if conquering cancer wasn’t enough of a challenge, Ivy now faces the prospect of spending her summer at what she calls “chemo camp.

Sacha Baron Cohen must be feeling “very niiice” right now, as the UK release of Rebel Wilson’s memoir “Rebel Rising” will strike the actor’s name, removing any reference to the comedian. This comes after Wilson outed Cohen as the “asshole” co-star who she claimed made sexually charged comments towards her.
Sacha Baron Cohen has vehemently denied everything Rebel Wilson has said, as have a number of those that were on set of The Brothers Grimsby. But that hasn’t stopped the book from being published and publicized. Still, Sacha Baron Cohen has taken a victory, even if it won’t be as widely recognized as he may have hoped. As per a spokesman for the actor (via Deadline): “Harper Collins did not fact check this chapter in the book prior to publication and took the sensible but terribly belated step of deleting Rebel Wilson’s defamatory claims...

Actors Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen were together for 14 years before their shocking divorce earlier in the year. But according to Fisher, their relationship wouldn’t have been a thing in the first place if it wasn’t for Cohen’s humor.

Cohen and Fisher may have gotten married in 2010, but they actually knew each other a lot longer than that. According to Cohen himself, the two met at a party in Australia around the year 2000. Cohen confided in a resurfaced interview with The New York Times that Fisher’s humor caught her attention.
“She was hilarious,” Cohen said. “We were at a very pretentious party, and me and her bonded over taking the mick out of the other people in the party. I knew instantly. I don’t know if she did.

Update: Wilson’s attorney Bryan Freedman has responded to this report, and it seems from here like while her UK publisher lost its nerve by redacting the chapter about Sacha Baron Cohen in Rebel Wilson’s memoir, the author feels her version is the truth. “Rebel and I want to thank all the woman who have shared their stories with us about their experiences with Sacha Baron Cohen.

Having garnered recognition as an Emmy-nominated television editor for outré comedians such as Tim Heidecker, Eric André, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Tim Robinson, Drew serves as director, co-writer, editor, lead actress, and cosmic prankster for her cinematic debut. The anarchic DIY spectacle, recently released theatrically after two years in intellectual-property limbo, mines the contradictory supervillain mythologies of the Joker to narrate Drew’s journey of self-discovery as a trans woman in the fractious world of alternative comedy. After Warner Bros. sent a cryptic letter of disapproval regarding the film’s flagrant recontextualization of the Batman franchise a day before its debut at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, it was pulled from the program.

In the early 1990s, two events shook America to its very core: the Rodney King incident and the trial of O.J. Simpson. Both cases provoked intense outrage, talked about justice and race, and ultimately had a significant impact on the American legal system.
Simpson’s arrest and murder trial in Los Angeles still bring back vivid memories, nearly thirty years later. Blood stained his glove, minute-by-minute coverage aired on national television, and he was the target of a police chase in a white 1993 Ford Bronco SUV.
In other words, his ‘trial of the century’ will also endure in the memories of numerous Americans since it exposed the significant disparities between Black and White Americans. The 76-year-old football player-actor passed away on April 10.

As you've likely heard by now, O.J. Simpson has passed away at the age of 76.
One of the most famous -- and infamous -- Americans of the modern era, Simpson was known for many things:
He was, of course, a world-class athlete, a standout at running back for the NFL's Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers.
Later in life, he would become the center of the most high-profile murder trial of the 20th century,
And though he beat the charges under dubious circumstances, the lingering suspicion that Simpson murdered his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, would make him a pariah in the upper-crust social circles that had served as his comfortable domain for so many years.

His family broke the news on X, writing, “On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace.”
If you grew up in the 1990s, you likely remember where you were on June 17th during the infamous Bronco Chase, where Simpson became the subject of perhaps the lowest-speed police chase of all time. I was twelve years old and riveted. Even now, twenty years after the fact, the O.J. Simpson trial, which was dubbed by media as the “Trial of the Century,” is infamous, as in the belief of many, O.J.

Rebel Wilson Says There’s No Amount of Money That Would Get Her to Work With Sacha Baron Cohen Again
There’s no amount of money that would get Rebel Wilson to work with Sacha Baron Cohen again.
Amid the release of her memoir Rebel Rising, which has made headlines for what she writes about Baron Cohen’s alleged inappropriate behavior while they were filming The Brothers Grimsby, Wilson appeared on Watch What Happens Live, where she played a round of “Plead the Fifth.” “How much money would it take for you to work with Sacha Baron Cohen again?” asked Andy Cohen.
“No money ever,” responded the Pitch Perfect star. “I have now a no a-holes policy with work.” Her remark was applauded by the audience and fellow guest Alison Brie. The host then mentioned a series of high sums to see if Wilson would do it, but the actress stood by her decision.
