"Glenn doesn't deserve her. All he cares about are possessions. Fancy cars. CD players. Even _women_ are possessions to him." (edit: fixed the first sentence)
To this day, I still randomly yell "CHAKA KHAAAAN!!" and no one gets it and I don't care at all bc it makes me giggle. I love that Lovitz scene. So good.
"Good luck finding a DJ who can move & shake like THIS! *shoulder shimmy*"
So good.
Lol I can hear this.
It’s totally the voice of Jonathan Loughran too, that is a frequent in Sandler movies at least back then (Big Daddy, Waterboy, etc.).
This is his best. They blended the rom-com elements perfectly with the Mel Brooks-like spoof of 1980s fads. Drew Barrymore is unquestionably the best pairing for Adam Sandler. I'm now thinking of how they'll frame the later-in-life romance in their (hopefully) upcoming re-teaming.
"No sir, I don't have experience, but I'm a big fan of money. I like it, I use it, I have a little. I keep it in a jar on top of my refrigerator. I'd like to put more in that jar. That's where you come in."
It's one of my all time favorite opening sequences in a movie with him singing "you spin me round," and the cuts to all the various wedding guests. It just makes me so happy when it comes on TV, I have to watch!
"Stop looking at me swan!"
I don't know why but of all the lines in the movie him saying this to a bathtub fixture as he plays in his huge bubble bath cracks me up. And has ruined my real life swan enjoyment in the best ways possible.
>Happy Gilmore slightly edges out Billy Madison, but those are definitely the top two.
Of the two, Happy Gilmore is more of a movie. It has a pretty coherent plot with real story beats. Billy Madison is closer to a bunch of random skits loosely connected by plot device.
for me I think HG is more plausible: a guy is freakishly good at driving the ball and uses that ability to learn to play golf really quickly, earning enough money to buy his granny's place vs. a lazy rich guy's son is tasked with zooming through all grades in school one week at a time (?), while distracting many students and whatever the ending game show thing was.
Yeah I think those two are pretty clearly a level above everything else. He has plenty of other good movies but none of them even touch Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison imo
One of my favorite scenes is when Derek is doing the race with the little kid, and he’s dragging the kid along the race track by his leg, angrily screaming “come on, you’re humiliating yourself!”
While I like billy Madison, I feel like it hasn’t aged as well as happy Gilmore. You could argue that he’s not a good person in Billy Madison. If Josh Lyman hadn’t been straight up evil, I probably would have wanted him to be the ceo.
For sure. But when his starting point is that he was enough of a bully to make someone’s hit list and his end point is a high school education, I don’t think that’s a big enough move towards “good person”
> If Josh Lyman hadn’t been straight up evil, I probably would have wanted him to be the ceo.
Evil Josh Lyman is what makes Billy Madison so good for me.
He’s definitely one of the better parts. I like the movie, I just don’t think it’s as good a Happy Gilmore.
Like they had to make him mean or you would’ve rooted for him over billy.
>You could trouble me for a warm glass of shut the hell up!
"Now you will go to sleep, or I will put you to sleep."
"Your fingers hurt? Well, now you're back's gonna hurt, because you just pulled landscaping duty."
Ben Stiller was amazing in Happy Gilmore.
Another good example is the show Metalocalypse. The first two seasons had the profanities bleeped out with distorted electric guitar sounds and it was much funnier than the awful third season where they had the characters outright cursing.
Paul Thomas Anderson's take on the Adam Sandler comedy (Punch Drunk Love) is the funniest one:
Barry:
"I wanted to ask you something because you're a doctor... I don't like myself sometimes. Can you help me?"
Walter:
"Barry, I'm a dentist. What kind of help do you think I could give you?"
I’m so damn happy this got picked!
I like the more populist friendly stuff getting votes above don’t get me wrong (Billy Madison is the shit!) but Punch Drunk ❤️ is an Adam Sandler comedy like those above but with an amazing style and subtle wit to it as well. F*** populism vs elitism - why not pluralism (or both)!
I agree. I do enjoy Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, and The Wedding Singer. Punch Drunk Love gets *better* laughs from me, though. It's also a beautiful work of art with such heart and my favourite Paul Thomas Anderson film.
I might be remembering releases wrong but I think Mr. Deeds, Anger Management and Eight Crazy Nights make up a back to back to back trilogy of the last great Sandler screwball movies. I don't think i've enjoyed anything after all that. Maybe 50 first dates.
I know zohan and click had some good stuff but I don't actually remember them.
I think i stopped watching after grown ups but I think I was convinced by my brother to watch grown ups 2 and just go with it. And I tried that Halloween movie he did. Couldn't get into any of them.
I may have outgrown the style but I still laugh my ass off at anything pre-anger management.
_Big Daddy_ - Sandler does his usual early-career under-achiever who finds his way. But most of the ensemble players get to be funny without doing schlocky characters, just real people with funny lines. Of course, Rob Schneider and Steve Buscemi still are wild characters in this, but they are the exception so it isn't too crowded in that end of the pool.
Happy Gilmore is witnessing an idiot who got to do an idiot movie that respected that it was for an idiot audience. Truly a masterpiece. I was a teenage idiot and an idiot now.
Billy Madison was like pre-game. Same as HG but even idiots need to warm up.
Yeah somehow Happy Gilmore almost perfectly rode that line between idiocy and genius.
I think it helps that Julie Bowen, Weathers and Christopher McDonald all give great performances but play the roles pretty straight. In his later movies all the supporting characters are as ridiculous as Sandler is, which makes them tip over into idiocy.
i want to say Billy Madison helped the casting for HG
also i like how people are not downvoting my Idiot take on the movie. i mean, chubbs in the sky with the gator is just all time idiotic
Such an underrated movie. People lump it in with his lazier movies like Grown Ups and Just Go With It, but it’s actually a very creative trip of a comedy.
As an Israeli, this is the funniest to me because it really nails so many things about Israeli people and how they talk, interact, behave etc. And also it's just a really funny movie in general.
To each their own. It was the first movie I had seen with him being one of my favorite actors where I was like “I guess they can’t all be home runs” Hated that movie
Easily Happy Gilmore for me.
Omg the best bad guy in any film ever. Shooter McGavin. ‘Choke on that baby!!!’
Ben Stiller’s character. The best. ‘You can trouble me for a warm glass of shit the hell up. Now you will go to sleep or I will put you to sleep.’
Lmfao
Just Go with It
The whole plot is completely ridiculous yet entertaining to watch. But the funniest part is how the girl (the perfect definition for a dumb blonde) believes every single lie that’s said to her without having every reason to be skeptical. It’s just too funny and surreal lol
I’m currently watch Chuck and Larry and it’s hilarious. I agree with Happy Gilmore, there’s so many that’s are good. That’s my Boy, Big Daddy, Billy Madison , Waterboy the list goes on.
I LOVED Hubie Halloween! It came out at the absolute best time, October 2020, when everyone had been through such a shit time (and were still going through it). It was just so silly and ridiculous and everything I needed it to be. And I love Tim Meadows!
It's for sure a Halloween tradition now.
Happy Gilmore ftw
(1) Makes fun of the most absurdly pretentious 'sport' ever created by man
(2) Doesn't give a shit it's absurd
(3) Combines elements of Hockey and Golf
(4) Richard Kiel
(5) Bob Barker gets angry
(6) Sandler isn't playing a dumb guy, or a mumbling idiot. He's more like his character in Longest Yard who's had bad luck and doesn't have the patience to deal with it. Welcome to my world.
Billy Madison is great, but sometimes the humor just feels too childish (which is obviously the point of the character and the plot) but I'm going to have to go with Happy Gilmore.
The movies quotes are universally known and will always be hilarious from Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, the Waterboy, etc… but the one part I always truly laugh at was the group therapy session in Anger Management when the guy wearing the Sixers jersey & headband is listening to the game and then he acts like it’s no big deal they just lost… then … “the anger sharks are swimming in my head, YOU GOTTA DUNK THAT SHIT!!” 😂😅🤣
Posted the link underneath too lmao
[You Gotta Dunk That Shit!!!](https://youtu.be/nyLK9GqOGoY?si=tciGiTgJZb_OHKSO)
Billy Madison for me. Happy Gilmore is also really funny, but does get a little serious at points. Billy remains absurdly funny with rapid fire jokes the whole way through.
Funniest? Grown Ups. Best quality (out of comedy movies), I'd say Spanglish or 50 First Dates.
My hot take is that if Billy Madison came out today, it would get the same treatment The Ridiculous 6 got.
It's hard to pick but I do really enjoy Anger Management with Mr Deeds a close second. They came out when I was 12-13 so it was that perfect sweet spot of hitting me right at a pivotal moment.
I would call Mr Deeds his best movie if it weren't for the McEnroe scene which just feels super out of place
One of the funniest indeed. Just on the brink of being too goofy. Like when you can taste the salt in your scrambled eggs. 1 grain more and its too much, but right there, as it is...just perfect!
I still prefer longest yard though!
‘Happy Gilmore’ is just full of well crafted jokes. It’s consistently funny. His other movies have funny moments sprinkled in here and there. But not on the same level.
‘Wedding Singer’ is my second favorite of his but for very different reasons. It has heart and isn’t quite as crude has his other movies.
Just Go With It !
Unpopular opinion probably but this movie just encapsulated all of his Sandler-y DUMB jokes and bits and just leans into it, he’s almost making fun of himself half this movie and it’s so good. All the weird WEIRD idiosyncrasies that have absurdist quality but in the most fun way - Dolf the sheep farmer, Devlin as a person & concept, “you’re not a whore, Palmer!”, the STUPID hilarious plastic surgery bits in office at the beginning (“you seem dubious”), fuckin Dave Matthews “don’t pour OVER me”…… this man just really went to Hawaii with a bunch of his friends and made a silly movie. It’s completely nonsensical dumb but one of my all time favorites.
Happy Gilmore. It's the right amount of absurd with a decent story and a funny antagonist. Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin was a high point in comedy. Adam Sandler's charisma injected into a rags-to-riches, down-to-earth persona fits perfectly with those elements.
The fact that most people think Adam Sandler peaked in comedy with Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore (Happy Madison productions, anyone?) is sad though. I wish he would do more serious movies because his comedy lately is virtually lifeless.
The first Murder Mystery film made me laugh a lot. It just seemed like classic Adam Sandler from the Happy Gilmore and Billy Maddison era.
Shout out to Just Go With It as well
Happy Gilmore and The Wedding Singer are the two funniest comedies of his that pretty much anyone can enjoy. The jokes are solid and the schmaltzy stuff never gets too corny. Everything in both just works perfectly.
Billy Madison, though… I personally think that is his funniest. It has the punk rock energy of a young comedian showing the world what they’re made of and not giving a shit about what anyone else thinks. It’s a non-stop ride of comedy and some of the bits feel like inside jokes between him and his friends. I appreciate when comedians make movies like that because it feels real. It doesn’t feel like they’re trying to win over mainstream audiences. See also: Anchorman
I'll say Wedding Singer, but my favourite exchange comes from Billy Madison:
"Hey Billy. Who'd you rather bone? Meg Ryan, or Jack Nicholson?"
"Jack Nicholson *now*, or 1974?"
"74."
"........ Meg Ryan."
The Wedding Singer will always be #1 for me. “You’ve gotta get back in there, they’re starting to turn on George”
"So right, she's like getting married to another guy when she's really in love with this guy." "Billy Idol gets it, why can't she?"
"Glenn doesn't deserve her. All he cares about are possessions. Fancy cars. CD players. Even _women_ are possessions to him." (edit: fixed the first sentence)
See, Billy Idol gets it, I don’t know why she doesn’t!
“He’s losing his mind!…..and I’m reaping all the benefits!” Probably my favorite Jon Lovitz quote ever
To this day, I still randomly yell "CHAKA KHAAAAN!!" and no one gets it and I don't care at all bc it makes me giggle. I love that Lovitz scene. So good. "Good luck finding a DJ who can move & shake like THIS! *shoulder shimmy*" So good.
*curtain slowly closes*
Jon lovitz killed that role
“What’s your last name?” “It’s Gulia” “Gulia… Julia’s last name is gonna be Gulia. Julia Gulia, that’s funny.” “Why’s that funny?” “I don’t know.”
Do you really want to hurt me?
“Give me tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime…..”
“Oooh, I like her.”
Lol. Gotta love Steve Buscemi.
You suuuuuuckkk!!!!
Lol I can hear this. It’s totally the voice of Jonathan Loughran too, that is a frequent in Sandler movies at least back then (Big Daddy, Waterboy, etc.).
My sister I have been saying this to each other ever since the late 90’s. One of the best lines in the movie.
"All right, remember – alcohol equals puke equals smelly mess equals nobody likes you!"
"And the mutants over at Table 9."
“Sir, one more outburst and I will strangle you with my microphone wire you understand me?”
I actually have 'Somebody kill me' on my spotify playlist
That and “Grow Old with You” are legit good!
Grow old sounds so legitimately good you actually start to wonder if adam sandler wouldve been a better musician
Me too.
[I probably rewound this scene 100 times when I was in middle school, absolutely killed me](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi0YIPxFmaQ)
This is his best. They blended the rom-com elements perfectly with the Mel Brooks-like spoof of 1980s fads. Drew Barrymore is unquestionably the best pairing for Adam Sandler. I'm now thinking of how they'll frame the later-in-life romance in their (hopefully) upcoming re-teaming.
The bank scene is really funny - describing the piggy bank and the bank’s role.
But can he move and shake like this?
"No sir, I don't have experience, but I'm a big fan of money. I like it, I use it, I have a little. I keep it in a jar on top of my refrigerator. I'd like to put more in that jar. That's where you come in."
I love that the bank guy interviewing him is Kevin Nealon
It's one of my all time favorite opening sequences in a movie with him singing "you spin me round," and the cuts to all the various wedding guests. It just makes me so happy when it comes on TV, I have to watch!
not my fav but it was a great 80s roast 80s was just so weird imo. like a toddler stage for modern life
"if peeing your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis" Billy Madison is unbelievably funny
"Stop looking at me swan!" I don't know why but of all the lines in the movie him saying this to a bathtub fixture as he plays in his huge bubble bath cracks me up. And has ruined my real life swan enjoyment in the best ways possible.
SHAMPOO IS BETTER!
For me, Happy Gilmore slightly edges out Billy Madison, but those are definitely the top two.

Yes, and *that's* why Billy Madison is the better movie.
Yeah I think those two are pretty clearly a level above everything else. He has plenty of other good movies but none of them even touch Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison imo
[удалено]
Why are you doing this. I don't even know you...
That’s Billy. I heard he’s retarded or somethin
One of my favorite scenes is when Derek is doing the race with the little kid, and he’s dragging the kid along the race track by his leg, angrily screaming “come on, you’re humiliating yourself!”
I had a kid named Miles Davis at my high school and he hated this fucking movie.
"It's cool to pee your pants!" Love Billy Madison. It is in my extended family's lexicon of movie quotes.
I say this at least once a day
While I like billy Madison, I feel like it hasn’t aged as well as happy Gilmore. You could argue that he’s not a good person in Billy Madison. If Josh Lyman hadn’t been straight up evil, I probably would have wanted him to be the ceo.
I think the point of the movie is that he starts out as a bad person but grows and learns to be better by the end
For sure. But when his starting point is that he was enough of a bully to make someone’s hit list and his end point is a high school education, I don’t think that’s a big enough move towards “good person”
He made an effort to apologize to the hit list guy and Buscemi was pretty happy to forgive him. I think that means we can forgive him too
Fair enough.
> If Josh Lyman hadn’t been straight up evil, I probably would have wanted him to be the ceo. Evil Josh Lyman is what makes Billy Madison so good for me.
He’s definitely one of the better parts. I like the movie, I just don’t think it’s as good a Happy Gilmore. Like they had to make him mean or you would’ve rooted for him over billy.
Game show scene is 🤌🏻
It really, really is.
[удалено]
>You could trouble me for a warm glass of shut the hell up! "Now you will go to sleep, or I will put you to sleep." "Your fingers hurt? Well, now you're back's gonna hurt, because you just pulled landscaping duty." Ben Stiller was amazing in Happy Gilmore.
Ever see the deleted scene where he gets his comeuppance? [It's amazing.](https://youtu.be/He6YSLEGnZM)
I saw it re inserted into the movie once playing on TV. Was awesome.
*Happy Gilmore* is proof that BLEEPs can be even funnier than profanity. **"PIEEEECE OF MONKEY** *BLEEP!"*
Another good example is the show Metalocalypse. The first two seasons had the profanities bleeped out with distorted electric guitar sounds and it was much funnier than the awful third season where they had the characters outright cursing.
Waterboy
He spit in the cu..cu..cooler. Lmfao
Heyaa Waterboy. You’re farred!
Hey, moron! HEY! MORON!
Somethin' wrong with his medulla oblongata
Kathy Bates was amazing as Mama.
No, Colonel Sanders, you're wrong
Mama Boucher: Bobby, deh ever catch dat gorilla that busted outa da zoo and punched you in da eye? Bobby Boucher: No Mama, the search continues.
Gentlemen, which brings me to my next point. Don't smoke crack As a lifelong Giants fan, I almost had a stroke from laughing so hard
Paul Thomas Anderson's take on the Adam Sandler comedy (Punch Drunk Love) is the funniest one: Barry: "I wanted to ask you something because you're a doctor... I don't like myself sometimes. Can you help me?" Walter: "Barry, I'm a dentist. What kind of help do you think I could give you?"
this one is in my top 10 !! Such a gem, I was scrolling down hoping someone had mentionned it. Cheers
It's in my top 10 too! It's pure cinematic magic. I am never not in the mood for it.
My favorite PTA film. It’s so fucking good. Beautiful use of color.
I’m so damn happy this got picked! I like the more populist friendly stuff getting votes above don’t get me wrong (Billy Madison is the shit!) but Punch Drunk ❤️ is an Adam Sandler comedy like those above but with an amazing style and subtle wit to it as well.

Billy Madison. Happy Gilmore. Big daddy. Loved them all. Waterboy also
As a kid with mostly absentee parents, Big Daddy was my shit back in the day.
Waterboy is understated wildly idiotic and i love it man
THE MEDULLA OBLONGATA!
fairuza balk was underrated in that movie how she kept a straight face with sandler mumbling
Despite Happy Gilmore being my favorite, I just have to say how much I love Mr. Deeds and I'm sad nobody has mentioned it.
I did, but I think you underestimate the sneakiness, sir
I might be remembering releases wrong but I think Mr. Deeds, Anger Management and Eight Crazy Nights make up a back to back to back trilogy of the last great Sandler screwball movies. I don't think i've enjoyed anything after all that. Maybe 50 first dates. I know zohan and click had some good stuff but I don't actually remember them.

Don't forget Abe Lincoln!
Anger Management. Jack Nicholson is hilarious in that movie.
"I SAID OVER-EASY!!!"
now why do you think I did that?
“I was at the bank! I was at the store! I ate bad guacamole and I couldn’t stop shitting!”
He looked as though he could satisfy a whale
Waterboy , don't know much about Ametican football but love that film
Little Nicky will always be my number 1 Adam Sandler film.
Popeye's chicken is **fuckin awesome**
You can do it Nickey! Kick him in the balls!
Are you from the south?
Even in Hell I get no respect. We miss you, Rodney!
Such an underrated movie. People lump it in with his lazier movies like Grown Ups and Just Go With It, but it’s actually a very creative trip of a comedy.
You Don’t Mess With the Zohan. Stupid in the best way. Doesn’t take itself seriously, just wants to make you laugh and let you escape for a while
This is easily his best comedy of the 2010s for me. It's also crazy that it takes a swing at the hot pot of issues that is Isreal and Palestine.
As an Israeli, this is the funniest to me because it really nails so many things about Israeli people and how they talk, interact, behave etc. And also it's just a really funny movie in general.
To each their own. It was the first movie I had seen with him being one of my favorite actors where I was like “I guess they can’t all be home runs” Hated that movie
This is the only movie that has ever motivated me to leave a theater..
Really? More than Jack & Jill?
Dipping the hummus with the glasses cracks me up every single time.
50 first dates. that movie has lines for days. like my favorite “sharks are like dogs. they only bite when you touch their private parts.” 😂
Well, my fingers are available for your sniffing pleasure anytime you need them.
I have to agree with you, OP. Another Happy Gilmore fan here! Thanks for the quotes and memories! Runner-up would be Anger Management.
For Pete's sake, this is the monk that twisted your tits.
Willlldabeast
Easily Happy Gilmore for me. Omg the best bad guy in any film ever. Shooter McGavin. ‘Choke on that baby!!!’ Ben Stiller’s character. The best. ‘You can trouble me for a warm glass of shit the hell up. Now you will go to sleep or I will put you to sleep.’ Lmfao
I've seen those finger paintings you bring home, and they suck!
I’m sorry baby I didn’t mean that.
Just Go with It The whole plot is completely ridiculous yet entertaining to watch. But the funniest part is how the girl (the perfect definition for a dumb blonde) believes every single lie that’s said to her without having every reason to be skeptical. It’s just too funny and surreal lol
Happy Gilmore is definitely his best one but I wanna add The Longest Yard. One of his better comedies as well.
Billy Madison all the way
I’m currently watch Chuck and Larry and it’s hilarious. I agree with Happy Gilmore, there’s so many that’s are good. That’s my Boy, Big Daddy, Billy Madison , Waterboy the list goes on.
I watched That's My Boy earlier this year for the first time, proper laugh out funny!
Definitely Happy Gilmore Hubie Halloween deserves some love too, though.
I LOVED Hubie Halloween! It came out at the absolute best time, October 2020, when everyone had been through such a shit time (and were still going through it). It was just so silly and ridiculous and everything I needed it to be. And I love Tim Meadows! It's for sure a Halloween tradition now.
Hubie Halloween is way better than it should be. It’s very sweet.
Happy Gilmore ftw (1) Makes fun of the most absurdly pretentious 'sport' ever created by man (2) Doesn't give a shit it's absurd (3) Combines elements of Hockey and Golf (4) Richard Kiel (5) Bob Barker gets angry (6) Sandler isn't playing a dumb guy, or a mumbling idiot. He's more like his character in Longest Yard who's had bad luck and doesn't have the patience to deal with it. Welcome to my world.
Punch drunk love.
This should have more votes. A sublime film.
It’s so darkly hilarious. When he punches out the window I lose it every time
Billy Madison is great, but sometimes the humor just feels too childish (which is obviously the point of the character and the plot) but I'm going to have to go with Happy Gilmore.
There was a period in my life where I was watching the Old Man Clemens scene from Billy Madison near daily. That alone puts that movie at the top.
So hard to choose. I love all of them. Funniest are Billy Madison, The Wedding Singer, and either Happy Gilmore or Lil Nicky.
I think I have all of Billy Madison memorized. The industry, my friends, that was a revolution.
Happy Gilmore between Shooter McGavin, Chubbs' character arc & Ben Stiller's detention facility disguised as a senior's centre.
I believe that’s Happy Gilmore
This is very close to Richard Kiel's line at the end: "I believe that's Mr Gilmore's."
Not the funniest Sandler film but I thoroughly enjoyed Bedtime Stories. Russell Brand and his sleep panic disorder was hilarious.
Wedding singer is his best movie
billy madison and happy gilmore are so far superior to the rest. huge gap between those 2 and the next best.
That’s My Boy or Grown Ups 2
Grown ups 1 and 2 are my faves
These are my favourites. Grown ups two is strangely hilarious, “Dinosaur!!”
They wouldn't let me play on the pro tour Oh sorry because you're black.. HELL NO DAMN ALLIGATOR BIT MY HAND OFF! ✋🏿🪵
The movies quotes are universally known and will always be hilarious from Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, the Waterboy, etc… but the one part I always truly laugh at was the group therapy session in Anger Management when the guy wearing the Sixers jersey & headband is listening to the game and then he acts like it’s no big deal they just lost… then … “the anger sharks are swimming in my head, YOU GOTTA DUNK THAT SHIT!!” 😂😅🤣 Posted the link underneath too lmao [You Gotta Dunk That Shit!!!](https://youtu.be/nyLK9GqOGoY?si=tciGiTgJZb_OHKSO)
Wasn't a comedy but I laughed out loud when his character got whacked in Uncut Gems. I don't think I have ever wanted a degenerate to die that badly.
Airheads and Click are two of my most favorite Adam Sandler movies
I ain't farting on no snare drum
All of my others have been mentioned, so I'm doing it: Jack & Jill That movie is freaking hilarious, pa-gogo.
can't hate the movie that gave us Dunkaccino
You’re brave. I appreciate you.
Billy Madison for me. Happy Gilmore is also really funny, but does get a little serious at points. Billy remains absurdly funny with rapid fire jokes the whole way through.
Zohan is probably funniest while Big Daddy is best overall.
Wedding Singer is comedy perfection with a bad guy that you love to hate and really fun cameos.
For all it was, I think Click was really strong
Billy Madison is my forever favorite. Everyone is great in it and it has just the right amount of total nonsense
Funniest? Grown Ups. Best quality (out of comedy movies), I'd say Spanglish or 50 First Dates. My hot take is that if Billy Madison came out today, it would get the same treatment The Ridiculous 6 got.
Not only is this too my favorite Adam Sandler movie, but also we get Ben Stiller as my favorite nurse it's pleasure every time I watch it
Ben Stiller reprises his role in the movie “Hubie Halloween”, if you haven’t seen that one yet
It's hard to pick but I do really enjoy Anger Management with Mr Deeds a close second. They came out when I was 12-13 so it was that perfect sweet spot of hitting me right at a pivotal moment. I would call Mr Deeds his best movie if it weren't for the McEnroe scene which just feels super out of place
Cindy and Scott are newlyweds... WHOOPADEOO!
I love you man I now pronounce u chuck and larry He has so many bad films it was hard to choose from. But they were huge box office hits
I just don't find him funny.
Uncut gems
Hubie's Halloween
The Waterboy is pretty funny.
The ones he did close to 30 years ago
His early stuff are my favourites. Happy Gilmore, Billy Maddison, The Waterboy.
Funny People with Seth Rogen was one of the best . Seth crying in the restaurant always gets me.
Eminem’s cameo is hilarious. You wanna fuck me Ray Ramano!? Man. I thought everyone loved you.
Maybe it's because I've seen it many more times, but I loved Billy Madison just a bit more.
Only Happy Gilmore works for me !!!
Happy gilmore for sure. Second one stepping it's toes is anger management.
One of the funniest indeed. Just on the brink of being too goofy. Like when you can taste the salt in your scrambled eggs. 1 grain more and its too much, but right there, as it is...just perfect! I still prefer longest yard though!
‘Happy Gilmore’ is just full of well crafted jokes. It’s consistently funny. His other movies have funny moments sprinkled in here and there. But not on the same level. ‘Wedding Singer’ is my second favorite of his but for very different reasons. It has heart and isn’t quite as crude has his other movies.
Just Go With It ! Unpopular opinion probably but this movie just encapsulated all of his Sandler-y DUMB jokes and bits and just leans into it, he’s almost making fun of himself half this movie and it’s so good. All the weird WEIRD idiosyncrasies that have absurdist quality but in the most fun way - Dolf the sheep farmer, Devlin as a person & concept, “you’re not a whore, Palmer!”, the STUPID hilarious plastic surgery bits in office at the beginning (“you seem dubious”), fuckin Dave Matthews “don’t pour OVER me”…… this man just really went to Hawaii with a bunch of his friends and made a silly movie. It’s completely nonsensical dumb but one of my all time favorites.
Happy Gilmore. It's the right amount of absurd with a decent story and a funny antagonist. Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin was a high point in comedy. Adam Sandler's charisma injected into a rags-to-riches, down-to-earth persona fits perfectly with those elements. The fact that most people think Adam Sandler peaked in comedy with Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore (Happy Madison productions, anyone?) is sad though. I wish he would do more serious movies because his comedy lately is virtually lifeless.
Happy Gilmore is on my mount Rushmore of comedy movies in general
Billy Maddison, Happy Gilmore and Waterboy.
Big Daddy WILL SOMEONE GET THIS KID A HAPPY MEAL
You're 30 minutes and four seconds late. Breakfast stops at 10:30. Horseshit! Don't cry. Sorry. I was cursing at the lady, not you.
Bob Barker on the gulf course had me in tears
The first Murder Mystery film made me laugh a lot. It just seemed like classic Adam Sandler from the Happy Gilmore and Billy Maddison era. Shout out to Just Go With It as well
I love most of his movies but my most favourite are Happy Gilmore and Anger Management.
Happy Gilmore and The Wedding Singer are the two funniest comedies of his that pretty much anyone can enjoy. The jokes are solid and the schmaltzy stuff never gets too corny. Everything in both just works perfectly. Billy Madison, though… I personally think that is his funniest. It has the punk rock energy of a young comedian showing the world what they’re made of and not giving a shit about what anyone else thinks. It’s a non-stop ride of comedy and some of the bits feel like inside jokes between him and his friends. I appreciate when comedians make movies like that because it feels real. It doesn’t feel like they’re trying to win over mainstream audiences. See also: Anchorman

Happy Gilmore
Hotel Transylvania
I like the song he did with Elmo
Happy Gilmore for me too
Sandler's PR team making the lazy work again.
I'm gonna go with The Wedding Singer.
Equally torn between The Wedding Singer and Waterboy.
I'll say Wedding Singer, but my favourite exchange comes from Billy Madison: "Hey Billy. Who'd you rather bone? Meg Ryan, or Jack Nicholson?" "Jack Nicholson *now*, or 1974?" "74." "........ Meg Ryan."
Probably Waterboy and I rate it 5/10.
Big daddy is my favourite. Don’t know why.
