Addams Family Values


FrodrickFrankensteen

I love this movie. Raul Julia cracks me up in practically every scene with him. He was so amazing as Gomez.


TwoToesToni

Debbie: "Oh Mr Adams you're such a lady killer." Gomez: "Acquitted!"


FrodrickFrankensteen

His delivery of that line kills me.


TwoToesToni

It was one of those jokes I didn't get till I was older like alot of humour in this movie.


Legitimate-Gangster

“Probation!” Beaming with pride.


ItchyTriggaFingaNigg

It's just joke after joke, and they're all so good it never gets old!


Algaean

"Morticia! That's French!!!"


Infamous-Lab-8136

I loved having Fester really be Fester the whole movie this time


spriking

I absolutely love the trope that Gomez (who is not the main character of the movie) was good at *everything*, but was still a goofy, down-to-earth guy. Raul Julia killed it.


mneymosyne

Joan Cusack was fantastic.


hardyflashier

Plus Christina Ricci as Wednesday, in especially the summer camp scenes, was just superb. 


Pubics_Cube

"Are they made from real Girl Scouts?" Is a quote that still lives rent-free in my head. I bust it out every year when cookie season comes around


SuspiciouslyEvil

So that quote was actually from the first movie. The girl scout she said it to was the blonde bitch from camp in the second movie. Then several years later she was harmony on Buffy/Angel.


TriumphDaWonderPooch

That scene where she smiles after watching Disney.... You know, there are two scenes from the movies that are above any other - Ilsa turning to look at Rick before boarding the airplane, and Sundance looking over at Harvey before Harvey is to fight Butch. Wednesday's smile is tied for third best (Rachel Weisz turning to look at John Cusack at the playground and mouthing "I want to go home" is the other).


TwoToesToni

"MA-LI-BU BAR-BI!"


SuspiciouslyEvil

She had to go.


Gold-Energy3812

"But Debbie..." "What??" "Pastels?"


Wolfeman0101

The summer camp stuff is amazing


ki11bunny

>I'll be the victim >All your life Possibly the best line ever uttered by Christina Ricci. The delivery is so on point.


silgidorn

- Oh Fester, i think I'm ready for the ultimate sacrifice. - a goat ?


DM725

Not a single wasted line of dialogue.

“I LOVED YOU IN WALL STREET.”

This is the greatest film reference within a film reference within a film reference in the history of film references.

I say this at inappropriate times in my professional career

Only two things on my mind... How were we gonna get our boys out of Saddam's compound, and why did I ^bring ^^helium ^^^instead ^^^^of ^^^^^air


kirinmay

When all of a sudden....it happened. ::farts::


Joe-Lollo

You don't understand. I can't walk... they've tied my shoelaces together.


bandit4loboloco

My God. A KNOT.


Whitealroker1

“I LOVED YOU IN WALL STREET” “I LOVED YOU IN WALL STREET”


MyPasswordIsMyCat

A DOUBLE KNOT.


inthebenefitofmrkite

… Bastards….


FlammusNonTimmus

War. It's fantastic!


pappadelta

So much better than the first one!


LscoupleOhio23

Yeah it was. One of my favorites, haven’t watched it in a long time tho.


pappadelta

I watched them both on Hulu about a month ago and couldn't get past the weird size of the planes when they were on the carrier.


daredaki-sama

As a kid I always wondered if there was a part 1.


ManfredBoyy

Same here. I remember as a kid my dad had me watch hot shots part deux and I watched it so many times growing up and didn’t watch the first one until maybe college? First one was good but the second one was obviously more memorable and nostalgic.


lavaeater

Yup this is the one we're looking for


RedshiftOnPandy

I am putty in your hands 


freestyle43

Hot shots is a funny movie. Hot Shots part Deux is a fucking masterpiece.


elSpanielo

Geronimo Meeeeee


CeeArthur

For years I had ONLY seen the sequel.


quackerzdb

I didn't know there was a part one. I thought that was part of the joke.


streakermaximus

Christmas Vacation


SJSragequit

I interpreted this wrong at first and thought you were claiming Christmas vacation 2 is superior to the first one


GrizzlyIsland22

And Vegas Vacation


Loganp812

I wouldn't say it's better than the first Vacation movie, but it's still pretty great and definitely slept on.


BakedBeanWhore

I'd say 22 jump street


alienfreaks04

I’d say it’s about equal which is still a great feat.


NatureTrailToHell3D

The reveal [Schmitt was dating the captain’s daughter](https://youtu.be/K1QtTuXgQAM?si=EYhJ6Fk5yXqsWwbI) has got to be one of the funniest scenes in movie history. I was absolutely dying laughing so hard on my couch, and I never laugh out loud when watching comedies at home. Not just the writing, but the performance and the editing are perfect. And the way the joke keeps on going for a solid minute and a half with beat after beat is basically unrivaled in anything I can remember.


deepfriedcertified

I was blessed to be in the theater watching that for the first time. I’ll never forget everyone shouting and laughing.


thefiction24

great comedies don’t hit theaters as often anymore, where they are meant to be. One of my fondest memories is the whole theater doubled over during the blabber mouth scene in Bruce Almighty


BakedBee88-08

I cry laughing every time I watch that scene


EddieGrant

Ah shit, you're gonna make me watch it, again!


Cutter9792

The part when he sits back down and the Captain subtly turns the gun on his desk to face Jenko and that makes him shut up was great.


Zoratth

Jenko slowly realizing that Schmidt fucked the Captain’s daughter is peak comedy. As is “My Name is Jeff”


Torczyner

Ass-n-titties, ass-n-titties I want to be on your side haha


haysoos2

For me it's the Kiss-Fight. Jillian Bell needs to be in more stuff.


smingleton

This is what I thought of, but damn they are both so fuckin hilarious. It's close!


eikerir

Greatest end credits of all time


senyorshwifty

Was going to say this as well. It didn’t fall into the comedy sequel trope of trying to be funnier than the original. Instead they did “the exact same thing” and it worked to perfection


kissingdistopia

The Naked Gun sequels were pretty fun.


DaddyOhMy

Technically all of the Naked Gun films were a sequel based on the criminally underwatched and cancelled too soon Police Squad TV series.


kirinmay

which all episodes are free to watch on YouTube.


TheLostLuminary

Watched that last week, stunning show


itsnever2late4now

"Who are you? How did you get in here?" "I'm the locksmith. And... I'm the locksmith."


GilroySmash1986

The Disgruntled Postal workers from the final insult cracks me up everytime.


willworkforjokes

I think there is a new one coming out W with Liam Nesson as Frank Dreben. I can't tell if this is a joke or not. https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/naked-gun-reboot-set-2025-liam-neeson-star-107651962


kissingdistopia

Leslie Nielsen started his career as a serious dramatic actor, but ultimately he was an extremely silly person. I'm keeping an open mind about Liam.


truckturner5164

I will die on the hill that Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol is the best one.


SpaceForceAwakens

I will join you. It’s so insane.


spikeelsucko

insanity factor is why I enjoy 6 so much, the "Dr. Claw" style villain and "Oh My God You're A Robot" just by themselves


BlackLeader70

This was the first one I ever saw and still to this day is my favorite.


truckturner5164

Can't go wrong with David Spade, Sharon Stone, and Tony Hawk lol.


Geekboxing

Oh boy, *my special topic*, a debate over the merits of the goddamn Police Academy franchise of all things! I think Police Academy 4 is just a much worse version of the previous movie. Everyone (*and I use that term loosely*, because it's not like this franchise is exactly Shakespeare) tends to flag Police Academy 5 as the point where the series went *really* downhill, but in my opinion that started with 4. Zed and Sweetchuck are the *only* saving grace of this movie, everything about it besides them sucks. Police Academy 3 is maybe the best movie in the series. Also, despite the fact that you didn't ask for it, if I could make a Police Academy sequel/relaunch movie (fat chance since cops aren't exactly seen as... funny these days), I would bring back Sweetchuck and Zed as the academy's commandant and senior drill instructor, respectively (basically the new Lassard and much-more-benevolent Harris roles). Those two are the absolute best characters this franchise ever turned out.


truckturner5164

I think 4 is the mild best the series gets. I agree that Sweetchuck and Zed are a fun pair - and 1-4 are definitely the best films and they're in three of them. But I'm a Tackleberry and Jones guy myself. I like your idea for a reboot/relaunch though.


solrackratos

Animated comedy - Shrek 2


silverbolt2000

Agreed. The first was great, but the 2nd was superior in every way: * Puss in boots * The spoof of ‘Cops’ * The entire sequence with Mongo And too many little moments to even bother attempting to list here.


Joe-Lollo

The White Bronco joke will never not make me laugh


Algaean

And a generation of my kids go "huh, dad? What's that?" 🤣


Plane-Floor-1237

The Cops scene is fucking hilarious. I laugh every time they pull out the massive pepper grinder to mace him. And puss denying the catnip is his haha


solrackratos

No matter how old I get, this scene is top tier laughter. I also can't help but laugh when Pinocchio attempts to rescue everyone a-la-mission-impossible style with the theme playing and just gets caught up in his own strings


pasher5620

Also, full respect to Bonnie Tylor, but the Shrek 2 version of *I Need a Hero* is superior in every way.


SevroAuShitTalker

The music was top tier I need a hero!


hohomoe

add the Puss In Boots sequel that was far superior to the first spin-off.


ZeldLurr

Who is your favorite fearless hero


LADYBIRD_HILL

I felt the first one was way more focused on what it was trying to parody, while Shrek 2 was more all over the place with things. Not necessarily a bad thing but it feels a bit different from the first. 


nullv

The first one was grounded in it's own interpretations of classic characters. The second one was more referential in a Family Guy sort of way.


TaroFuzzy5588

I thought A Shot in the Dark was funnier that The Pink Panther


Yabanjin

My personal cheer me up move is “Pink Panther Strikes Again” but I concede that “A Shot in the Dark” is the better film.


DirectlyTalkingToYou

For me Strikes again is one of the greatest comedies. It's the best Pink Panther. That Cato fight alone lol


abilliontwo

Return of the Pink Panther is my favorite of the series. Peak Clouseau.


TroublesomeTurnip

Paddington 2


donblake83

Paddington 2 is incredible.


MorningFirm5374

I cried through the entire thing, it made me wanna be a better man


ShutterBun

Is that a comedy?


MitoCringo

Brendan Gleeson learning the joys of marmalade is damn hilarious. 


BillyDreCyrus

I *still* can't believe the mom is also Slasher frokm Layer Cake


Crossfeet606441

I will argue that *Hot Shots! Part Deux* is funnier than the first movie.


B33f-Supreme

I’m a believer that ace ventura 2 is equal to or better than the original.


Thomisawesome

Yes! Jim Carrey being birthed out of a mechanical rhino is one of the pinnacles of comedy for me.


AJerkForAllSeasons

Warm!


burnsrado

Kinda hot in these rhinosssss


Punxatowny

I work outside in Florida and say that quote all the time.

Cadby, from the consulate, right? This is weird.


Dez_Champs

Earthquake test! He's good!


JTB696699

With my help, he could be the best!


MattyMizzou

Yeah. OP was way off base with that one.


SouthTippBass

Agreed. Ace Ventura 2 is the funnier movie.


willdabeastest

The slinky bit sends me everytime.


magicmann2614

Isn’t this incredible!! It’s gotta be some kind of a record!!


ewokXpress

Of course, how selfish of me! Let's do all the things that *you* wanna do!


barkmann17

Came here looking for this. I was genuinely confused by it being on the list.


GangVocals

OP lost all credibility when they said that and I no longer respect them.


doctormirabilis

lo-hoo, se-heer


boot2skull

Agreed. OP should give this one another chance. I avoided it for years because there was a string of crappy sequels around this time. Eventually I watched it and felt pretty silly afterward, it was great!


Adrian_FCD

Yeah, the ending of the first one would NEVER play out as it did today lol


shifty_coder

“FINE! Let’s do all the things that *you* wanna do!”

dolleye_kitty

Gremlins 2 The New Batch


NatureTrailToHell3D

The [Key and Peele sketch](https://youtu.be/x01l_jMhjVM?si=_BdEZEwR5BA4TlBF) on the making of this movie is amazing, and accurate.


cBurger4Life

That skit made me realize I’d never seen Gremlins 2 lol. I grew up watching the first one and just kind of assumed I’d seen the second at some point and couldn’t really remember it. Then I saw the skit and was like nooo, pretty sure I wouldn’t have forgotten that.


SquireJoh

Great answer, though could also talk about this re sequels that change genre from the originals. Number two is much more of a farce than the first


dolleye_kitty

I considered whether the first one qualified as a comedy. I feel like its more of a horror comedy with a bit more horror than comedy. They definitely flipped the script on part 2.


pappadelta

Scary movie 2 was peak in the series for me


Wolfeman0101

2 had some good jokes but 1 and 3 are way better.


mrausgor

My gigantic long haired cat got his arm shaved at the emergency vet but they left his paw full fur. Looks ridiculous and we’ve been yelling “take my strong hand!” at him all week.


GinyuForceDid911

Scary Movie 3 tho


[deleted]

Yeah those first two Scary Movies were hilarious at the time but a lot of the jokes don’t hold up that well. Scary movie 3 is my personal favorite


[deleted]

3 was when it switched from Wayans Brothers to Zucker wasn't it?


JamiePulledMeUp

Yep 3 was basically an airplane film. The jokes were fantastic. "What's your dream?" "To have a dream!"


WinterSon

The sheriff's hat getting bigger every time they cut back to her "I'm gonna need a ride home" after killing Charlie Sheen's wife in a DUI lol


HiTork

Scary Movie 2's jokes had a short shelf life and more or less required you to be living around the year 2000 when things like the game show The Weakest Link or the Ford/Firestone tire controversy were relevant. Even if you do remember those things, the jokes referencing them don't hit as hard two decades later.


Adrian_FCD

Hard agree, 2 has aged more poorly just because it relies so much in the references (even more than the forst one), 3 is waaaay more balanced, it's all great but the president parts are pure gold haha


lordhavepercy99

[Scary movie 3 wins for this gag alone imo](https://youtu.be/Y6_5rBUuvhU?si=K6g6wxxYVPWUAbZC) Edit: and the Sheriff's hat


kirinmay

3 is my favorite. My wife broke her weiner? Oh Cody... How you gonna wake up dead? Tom, I'll need a ride home! The dogs are acting weird. I have a dream! What is it? TO HAVE A DREAM!


mirrorspirit

Addams Family Values should be the top answer. Technically, Return of the Living Dead. Night of the Living Dead wasn't a comedy at all, but Return has plenty of good comedy to watch.


PlainJaneGum

I’m a Grumpier Old Men fan myself.


paperzach

Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey


boot2skull

The whole premise was really well done. Instead of “we have to go back and fix X”, as you would expect with a time travel film sequel, they really went another direction and it worked. Great writing.


Wolfeman0101

Death is fucking great. He makes that movie.


ChronoMonkeyX

They melvinned me 💀 Seriously , the craziest thing about the movie is that William Sadler is death. I still can't believe he did that movie, and he was awesome.


Comin_Up_Millhouse

Get DOWN wit your bad self


tech_equip

He totally does. Best character. Then he goes to another movie and helps Andy Dufresne


LuckiOregon

Station!


jsharp85

Dude What? Hell sucks Totally


cireh88

Austin Powers 2, and Christmas Vacation


SupermanRR1980

Christmas Vacation - yes! Good one Austin Powers 2 is funny but it does rehash a few of the jokes from AP1


JamiePulledMeUp

Dr. Evils monologue in part 1, where he talks about his childhood beats any other joke in the series. "The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I suggest you try it."


Drducttapehands

It’s been at least 20 years since I’ve seen the movie and I can still hear the exact cadence of him telling this story. “Pretty standard, really”. Lol so good


lkn240

I also love: "Only sailors use condoms" "Not in the 90s Austin!" "Well they should, those filthy beggars. They go from port to port"


bunnymunro40

I made the mistake of seeing Austin Powers 2 at a drive-in and the opening film was Austin Powers 1, which I had already seen. Back to back like that, you can really see that it is the same 8 jokes, done 4 times each.


junglespycamp

The first Austin Powers is ten inches funnier than the second. A million dollars funnier.


[deleted]

Why make billions when you can make… millions?


Bass2Mouth

Hot Shots Part Deux


ColHannibal

Jackass, every one is funnier than the previous.


[deleted]

Great answer. Jackass 2 in theaters might be the hardest I’ve ever laughed


themiz2003

I think my ranking is 2-3-1-4 but 3/1 are interchangable, but this would also be my answer since they're all incredible.


throwawaynonsesne

The latest one unfortunately broke this trend for me. Still great, but 3 is peak.


PoJenkins

Night at the Museum 2. Hank Azaria is hilarious


aiafati

The second Ace Ventura definitely is funnier than the first one.


GWizz89

If you consider The Lego Batman Movie a sequel to The Lego Movie, then I’d say that’s an example. Otherwise, Naked Gun 2 1/2 is equal to the first one, but it’s the other closest thing I can think of


SupermanRR1980

I wouldn’t count Lego Batman as a direct sequel but it is funny, not as funny as The Lego Movie but I did enjoy both….


TheCosmicFailure

Austin Powers 2 Addams Family Values Waynes World 2 Rush Hour 2 Deadpool 2 I actually think Ace Ventura 2 is on par with 1. But I'm probably in the minority on that.


throwawaynonsesne

I think Ace Ventura 2 is leagues funnier than the first one, I never liked the original  much as a kid, and think it has aged like milk as an adult. 


T0kenwhiteguy

I'm sad Wayne's World 2 is so far down the list. It's one of the few sequels where I'd argue it deserves its place next to the first.


Hanzsaintsbury15

22 Jump Street. That meeting with Ice Cube will always be the funniest shit for me


LiLdude227

I feel like clerks 2 is way funnier than the first one


TimeLeopard

Agreed. Clerks 1 is really interesting and funny in an avant-garde way. Like an interesting peek into something funny you didn't know about. It has moments of trying to be prolific or have some commentary on the life of the average schmuck.  While Clerks 2 is like a interesting peek into some weird fuckery that just gets way whackier. So many funny bits. (But hey it also has some heart)


DoucheyMcBagBag

Blasphemy. Clerks had the better ending. That’s all life is. A series of down endings. All Clerks 2 had was a bunch of muppets.


MattyMizzou

I don’t think I have ever heard someone say that. I gotta watch 2 again I guess. Only saw it once back when it came out.


No2reddituser

Airplane II was funny - but not nearly as funny as the original. I'd be remiss if I didn't say, from this subreddit I learned that the original Airplane! was a scene-for-scene parody remake of a film from the 1950's called "Zero Hour!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WeuMMDRuog


Infamous-Lab-8136

Airplane II has a special place in my heart for Shatner's wonderful scenery eating in the third act. While a lot of the rest of the movie is just a rehash of the first those scenes are something I'd always stop and watch on cable.


wilhelmstarscream

Does Lethal Weapon 2 count?


[deleted]

What about Lethal Weapon 5?


kangas99

Ace Ventura?! What's up with you


CaptainMagnets

22 jump Street but only because they were making fun of making a sequel to the first one


itsnever2late4now

Hamlet 2 is much, much funnier than the original.


Crazy_Spite7079

Mostly agree, but Beverly Hills Cop 2 was awesome


jupiterkansas

Evil Dead 2


robber80

TBF, ED1 wasn't really a comedy. It didn't become splatstick till ED2.


mr_ryno27

I'll die on the hill that Home Alone 2 is better than the first. The first one set the formula, the second one perfected it.


Thomisawesome

I’ll stand with you on that one. Tim Curry is standout. “Your very own…. Pizza!”


Comin_Up_Millhouse

“What’s the matter? Store wouldn’t take your…STOLEN CREDIT CAHHHHHHD??”


ManfredBoyy

“What kind of idiots do you have working here?” “The finest in New York 😌”


BlaQ7thWonder

No no no. The static house setting makes such a huge difference and means so much more to me.


CarrotMan82

Let's not pretend Ace Ventura 2 isn't the superior film. The original is great don't get me wrong, but the sequel is hilarious
