Super Troopers
Ace Ventura (the first one)
Reno 911!: Miami
Dumb and Dumber
The Odd Couple II (hilarious)
Payback (it's not a comedy, but Mel Gibson is at his best in it)
Any of the Die Hard movies
Transformers (of course)

Cheer up old boy, or I'll have to send in the cheer squad.

Uhh... Watch The Mask. I was reminded of it recently, and I love that movie.

space balls and mostly the ones already said also the movie meet the Spartans supermovie and all the spoof movies

Uh.....

I would name a few, but they aren't kid friendly. One for instance is about a very eager cheerleader named Debbie who is raising money to go to Dallas to become a dallas cowboys cheerleader.

any scene with robert downey jr and a flamethrower. those make me cackle to no end.

dawn of the dead, any of the dethklok episodes, or youtube the f-word version of pulp fiction.

or just look up people failing, and cheer up at the fact that you're not them

The only advice I've ever gotten when that happens to me, is "Stop it."

While not a feature length film, I found this on youtube. It's short but almost guarenteed to brighten your day. B-)

He wanted movies to cheer him up. Not make him catatonic.

But here are movies that aren't deadly:

Hot Fuzz
Shaun of the Dead
Tropic Thunder
Literally anything by Mel Brooks
Airplane, and Airplane 2
Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2
Evolution
Stripes
Caddyshack (But NOT Caddyshack 2!)
National Lampoon's Vacation
Animal House
Happy Gilmore
Billy Madison

Well I love this Movie...

Red Vs Blue. Of course.

Blackadder, though the last episode of Blackadder IV is kind of a downer.

If you're the mean kind of depressed and mocking something might make you feel better, _Starship Troopers_ is the gift that keeps on giving. Or, if you can find it, _Five for Hell_--WORST World War Two movie ever made. Klaus Kinski's in it--need I say more? Oh, and a trampoline.

Then again, you could be going about this all wrong. The passive act of watching a movie might not help. Studies directly correlate physical activity with mood elevation. Go for a walk or run or play handball (no, that's not a euphemism for onanism), or something.

HK, or I could loan you my cat (currently known as) Froconuts. He'll sit on your lap and stare at you until your mood improves. Or your head explodes.

well, last time i had it rough i 'cured' it with a big dose of late 70's and early 80's cheezy 'messing with the man' films....maybee not that well know to the younglings on here but worth the download....euhrmm 'buy' :roll:

classics are :

Cannonball run
Smokey and the bandit (not part 3!!!)
Convoy

These things are so cheezy , so over the top and by now so compleetly outdated that they are garanteed to put a smile on your face for the sheer weirdness of it :p

Just invite your old pal the Chronic round and watch some Half Baked, you cant fail to enjoy it even if youve seen it a million times

A quick picker-upper. Try finding the Funny Pics thread here. Some of that stuff is hilarious and some will induce epilepsy. Also, stay away from the news for a good long time.

Aside from that, why are you feeling depressed? Maybe that would help us figure something out.

Fri May 08, 2009 1:39 pm

Anything by Mel Brooks.

I did forget Clerks II. If for nothing else, then all the shit-talking about the Transformers movie (2007)

In fact, most of Kevin Smith's movies. More appropriately, anything prominently featuring Jay and Silent Bob...meaning Chasing Amy and Jersey Girls are not on the list.

Also, the Wayne's World movies.

That's right, I forgot about ...Strike Back. Funny, funny, funny.

I am watching Jersey Girl right now...I never disliked it, though I am watching mainly because of George Carlin. <---another instatnt cure to your depression.

R.I.P. George.

They were in Chasing Amy. That's the one where Silent Bob wouldn't shut up for like a minute.

Thanks for all the replies very much appreciated.

I was yes was depressed cos I was once again turned down by a girl. But pfffffff there are loads more chicks out there. I'm still sad but I am getting over it surprisingly fast, must be all the practice I'm getting

But I'll still be checking out all the stuff you suggested.

Oh Chronic, the funny thing is, that I actually bought Half backed today as a present for one of my mates, damn that is some good ****. :lol:

I said "prominently featuring." Meaning, since they only appear for maybe five minutes out of the whole movie (Not including Bluntman and Chronic), it doesn't count.

If you want to be that literal and say anything, then add Clerks TAS. Might not be a movie, but hey, why not. Don't know how much of it remained Smith's though.

It was six episodes long, toned down a lot of stuff from the movie, and changed a lot of the humor, but it was still DAMN funny.
