Man, I can't believe we didn't think of this. I was having my post-work gin & tonic on the back patio and I remembered "The Great Race" with Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis. The first 45 minutes of that make me chuckle just thinking about it.
I wish I could do that "twinkle" thing with the teeth Tony Curtis did... :)
Seen most of the best mentioned, thought I would contribute Kung Pow: Enter the Fist.
Stupid as hell? Yes. But if a movie where the villain renames himself from Master Pain to Betty, and the hero gets his hands and head trapped in a 1'x1' square net isn't funny, well I don't know what is.

I dislike most of his stuff, but always thought this was pretty funny

"Igor, will you help me with the bags?"
"Sure. You take the blond, I'll take the one in the turban."
Igor's 'wandering hump' and Gene Hackman dumping hot soup on Peter Boyle's lap had me ROFL.
(Gene Wilder to Igor): 'Damn your eyes!' (Marty Feldman): 'Too late.'
Slap Shot? A comedy? I thought it was a documentary!
However, Slap Shot(s) 2-5 -- yes, 2-5, are just bad. For whatever reason friends who know I play hockey seem to think I need to own those sequels.
I'm not saying these are the best of all time, but I'm surprised that no one so far has mentioned either Pineapple Express or Tropic Thunder. I thought both were excellent.
I watched the Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou a little while ago. I thought that was subtly (and sometimes less so) hilarious.
The funniest movie you've never heard of: "One, Two, Three" (1961). Jimmy Cagney is a Coca-Cola executive in West Berlin who thinks he can restart his stalled career by opening up Eastern Europe to Coke products. Things are complicated when the CEO sends his daughter to Berlin on vacation, and she falls in love with a young Communist.
