Top 10 Comedies On Amazon Prime Video In 2022
News - 13th Jan 2024
1. Office Space (1999)
Mike Judge's workplace comedy about employees at software companies who are unhappy with their jobs was a disappointment. Office Space, which was rediscovered on Comedy Central in 2010, has become a cult favorite and is often cited. Jennifer Aniston is hilarious in this video. She has a lot of style.
2. The Big Sick (2017)
Kumail Nanjiani & Emily V. Gordon were inspired by a true story about illness, family, and cultures colliding to create this beloved, often hilarious, romantic comedy with surprising dramatic weight. Original screenplay of The Big Sick was nominated to the Academy Award. Holly Hunter, Ray Romano, and Zoe Kazan are the supporting cast.
3. O Brother, Where Art Thou! (2000)
The Coen Brothers' smash musical, which is also loosely adapted of Homer's The Odyssey, has George Clooney and John Turturro as its stars. O Brother is the first film to have its color corrected digitally. It's witty, funny, and extremely enjoyable. However, it doesn't leave the same impression as some of the best Coen films.
4. Half Baked (1998)
Jim Breuer and Dave Chappelle star in a comedy about friends plotting to raise bail money for a prisoner. Half Baked was not well received and did not make an impact at the box-office before becoming a cult movie.
5. Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (2020)
Sacha Baron Cohen's second mockumentary, which is shockingly good and just plain shocking, sees a famous and very nice Kazakhstani journalist deal with 14 years worth of American change. This moviefilm is less well-crafted than its predecessor, though Cohen deserves major credit for making it. However, the narrative is better; there is an arc. Borat and his daughter form a very special bond. Maria Bakalova has made her a worldwide sensation.
6. Young Frankenstein (1974)
Gene Wilder stars as Mel Brooks, one of the most acclaimed comedy creators. Mel Brooks is equally hilarious and technically stunning in his take on James Whale's horror films. Blazing Saddles, Brooks' second masterpiece, was also released in the same year. This is the mark of genius.
7. Heathers (1988)
Christian Slater and Winona Ryder star in this cult classic of the 1980s. It's a dark and brilliant comedy about a twisty romance and a rebellion against an oppressive high-school clique. It's one of the greatest teen movies ever made. It's a heart-warmingly funny movie that will make your stomach churn.
8. Fargo (1996)
This is the greatest black comedy-thriller hybrid in cinema history. Frances McDormand is now tied with Daniel Day-Lewis for the title of most decorated living film star according to the Academy Awards. Marge Gunderson is a delightful cop who investigates a series of sinister, grisly, and moronic crimes that took place in the frozen American North. Fargo is a hilarious, bizarre and exciting film.
9. Bad Grandpa (2013)
AKA Jackass Presents - Bad Grandpa is a comedy show that sees Johnny Knoxville, an 86-year old man, take his guerilla style to another level as he travels across the country with his grandson. They meet strippers, fake urine, and seemingly endless crotch gags. Bad Grandpa was the first Jackass movie to win an Academy Award for Best Makeup or Hairstyling.
10. Dodgeball: The True Underdog Story (2004)
This is a hilarious, funny, and laugh-out-loud sports picture/zany farce starring Ben Stiller. It's about two misfits who enter a Las Vegas dodgeball tournament to save their gym from the snotty elite.
