The 12 Most Ridiculous Movies We've Ever Watched

The 12 Most Ridiculous Movies We've Ever Watched

      These are the most absurd movies we've ever encountered — and we genuinely mean that as a compliment.

      If you’re feeling down and need to lift your spirits — or if you’re in a good mood and want to make it even better — this list has you covered.

      Often, the silliest films turn out to be the best ones.

      “Am I not turtley enough for the turtle club?”

      This delightfully ridiculous comedy featuring Dana Carvey is essentially a collection of sketches woven into a movie about a quirky man who can transform (almost) effortlessly into different people by using disguises.

      Despite its poor reception at the time, this film remains hilarious to this writer. Those who appreciate it do so, while those who don’t simply don’t.

      Keanu (2016)

      Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key portray two cousins who go undercover in a gang to recover a stolen kitten.

      This buddy comedy marks the film debut for Key and Peele after their acclaimed sketch comedy series Key & Peele. The cast also includes Tiffany Haddish, Will Forte, Method Man, and Nia Long.

      There's even a surprising cameo that we bet you can guess. Whoa.

      Dumb and Dumber (1994)

      Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are unforgettable as the clumsy pair Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne, who embark on a journey to return a suitcase full of money, unaware that it will involve them in a kidnapping.

      One of the most amusing lines occurs when Lloyd and Harry meet a police officer on the road who instructs them to “pull over.”

      Harry responds: “No, it’s a cardigan, but thanks for noticing!”

      Top Secret! (1984)

      How silly can it get? This film, one of the silliest ever, asks that repeatedly, including in a song titled “How Silly Can You Get?” performed by the fantastic Val Kilmer at his silliest.

      Kilmer plays American rock singer Nick Rivers, who becomes tangled in an underground resistance when he falls for a beautiful woman during his tour in Germany.

      This film parodies both Elvis movie musicals and WWII spy films, and it was created by David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and David Zucker after their success with Airplane!

      Shrek (2001)

      This animated comedy classic features Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy voicing Shrek the ogre and Donkey, respectively.

      Shrek's peaceful swamp life is disrupted when a host of fairy tale characters invade after being banished by Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow). As a result, Shrek agrees to rescue Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz), who is destined to become Farquaad’s bride.

      With numerous hilariously memorable lines, we’ll focus on a classic: “Get out of my swamp!”

      Caddyshack (1980)

      This iconic golf comedy stars Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight, Michael O’Keefe, and Bill Murray.

      Caddyshack follows O’Keefe as Danny Noonan, a high school student caddying at a posh country club while trying to earn money for college.

      “You’re not being the ball, Danny.”

      School of Rock (2003)

      This film is so absurdly funny that it might give you a case of Stickittothemaneosis.

      Featuring Jack Black as a washed-up rocker who assumes his roommate’s identity to earn extra money as a substitute teacher at an elite prep school, we’d undoubtedly label it one of the silliest films ever, especially for Black’s antics in the classroom.

      However, some of the funniest moments actually come from the kids portraying his students, including the famous line delivered by Brian Falduto as Billy “Fancy Pants”: “You’re tacky and I hate you.”

      I’m Gonna Git You Sucka (1988)

      This blaxploitation parody marked Keenen Ivory Wayans’ directorial debut.

      Wayans stars as Jack Spade, who returns to Any Ghetto, U.S.A., after his brother tragically dies from a gold chain overdose. Witnessing the destruction caused by gold chains in his community, he resolves to take down the empire of Mr. Big (not that one).

      The aquarium shoes and a young Chris Rock haggling over one rib never fail to make us laugh.

      Monty Python and the Holy
