The 12 Most Absurd Movies We've Ever Watched
These are the goofiest films we've ever watched — and we genuinely mean that in a positive way.
If you're having a rough day and need to lighten your mood — or if you’re enjoying a wonderful day and wish to enhance it even further — this list is just what you need.
Often, the silliest films turn out to be the best ones.
**Master of Disguise (2002)**
Featuring: Dana Carvey and Jennifer Esposito in Master of Disguise, Sony Pictures Releasing.
“Am I not turtley enough for the turtle club?”
This absurdly funny comedy starring Dana Carvey consists of a variety of sketches blended into a single storyline about a peculiar man who can transform into nearly anyone by donning disguises.
Although Master of Disguise faced criticism upon its release, this writer finds it to be utterly hilarious. Those who get it appreciate it, while those who don’t, simply don’t.
**Keanu (2016)**
Featuring: Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key in Keanu, Warner Bros.
Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key portray cousins who infiltrate a gang to recover a stolen kitten.
This buddy comedy was the duo's first feature film following their outstanding sketch show Key & Peele. The cast also includes Tiffany Haddish, Will Forte, Method Man, and Nia Long.
There’s even a surprise cameo, and we bet you can guess who it is. Whoa.
**Dumb and Dumber (1994)**
Featuring: New Line Cinema
Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels deliver unforgettable humor as the clumsy pair Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne, who embark on a journey to return a briefcase full of money, unknowingly getting mixed up in a kidnapping.
One of the funniest and most absurd lines occurs when Lloyd and Harry encounter a police officer who instructs them to “pull over.”
Harry responds: “No, it’s a cardigan, but thanks for noticing!”
**Top Secret! (1984)**
Featuring: Val Kilmer in Top Secret!, Paramount Pictures
How silly can one get? This film, one of the silliest ever, repeatedly poses that question — including in a song titled “How Silly Can You Get?” performed by the amazing Val Kilmer in his silliest form.
Kilmer plays Nick Rivers, an American rock singer who becomes involved in an underground resistance movement while touring Germany after falling for a beautiful woman.
This film parodies both Elvis-style musical movies and WWII spy flicks, made by David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and David Zucker following Airplane!
**Shrek (2001)**
Featuring: A still from Shrek, DreamWorks
This animated comedy classic stars Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy as the voices of Shrek the ogre and Donkey, respectively.
Shrek’s peaceful swamp life is disrupted when a host of fairy tale characters invade after being exiled by Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow). Consequently, Shrek makes a deal to rescue Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz), who is slated to be Farquaad's bride.
This film is packed with hilariously memorable quotes, but we’ll stick with a classic: “Get out of my swamp!”
**Caddyshack (1980)**
Featuring: Bill Murray in Caddyshack, Warner Bros.
This iconic and comedic golf film features Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight, Michael O’Keefe, and Bill Murray.
Caddyshack follows high school student Danny Noonan (O’Keefe), who works as a golf caddy at a posh country club while trying to earn money for college.
“You’re not being the ball, Danny.”
**School of Rock (2003)**
Featuring: Jack Black in School of Rock, Paramount Pictures
This film is so outrageously funny that it might give you a case of Stickittothemaneosis.
Starring Jack Black as a washed-up rocker who assumes his roommate's identity to earn some cash as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school, we definitely consider it among the goofiest movies ever, particularly due to Jack Black's antics as a teacher.
However, some of the most humorous lines come from the kids playing his students, like the infamous line from Brian Falduto as Billy “Fancy Pants”: “You’re tacky and I hate you.”
**I’m Gonna Git You Sucka (1988)**
Featuring: Antonio Fargas in I’m Gonna Git You Sucka, MGM/UA
This blaxploitation parody marks Keenen Ivory Wayans’ directorial debut.
Wayans stars as Jack Spade, who returns to his hometown of Any Ghetto, U.S.A. after his brother dies from a gold chain overdose. After witnessing the impact of gold chains on his neighborhood, he resolves to take down Mr. Big's empire.
