class="article-body" itemprop="articleBody"> <p><em><strong>MacGruber</strong></em>, he made a freaking movie. After starring in one of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422/https://collider.com/best-comedies-of-the-decade/">the greatest comedies of the 2010s</a>, it seemed like <em>MacGruber</em> had faked his death for another decade, but it turned out <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422/https://youtu.be/P_zkOGsFTzw">he was just in prison</a>. The stupid, selfish, insecure explosives expert has come a long way from stealing car stereos, and he’s finally returning to television. Everyone should be celebrating the return of the Mac. A sequel was teased periodically through the years, but <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422/https://collider.com/tag/will-forte/"><strong>Will Forte</strong></a>’s nagging success with <em><strong>Last Man on Earth</strong></em> prevented the co-writer and star’s recommitment to the vest and mullet. The sequel series, streaming exclusively on Peacock, reunites Forte with his co-writers <strong>John Solomon</strong> and <strong>Jorma Taccone</strong>, the latter of whom also directed the motion picture. It also reunites <em>MacGruber</em> with his, now ex, wife Vicki St. Elmo (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422/https://collider.com/tag/kristen-wiig/"><strong>Kristen Wiig</strong></a>), and his friend Dixon Piper (<strong>Ryan Phillippe</strong>).</p>  <p><em>MacGruber</em> (2010) toes the line between slapstick spoof and action-comedy. The tempest of references to <em><strong>Saturday Night Live</strong></em> skits, invincible action hero pictures, and <em><strong>MacGuyver</strong></em> flow effortlessly through the comedic presentation and performances. Forte delivered an all-time great comedic performance through his physical acting and unbelievable line delivery. He bounces between cheesy action star and useless narcissist seemingly effortlessly. His facial contortions accentuate the extremity of his wackiness. From f’ing ghosts, to rippin’ throats, the film never stops pushing the boundaries of its absurdity. The endlessly quotable comedy is more than just the leading man’s exceptionally funny performance. <strong>Val Kilmer</strong>, Kristen Wiig, Ryan Phillippe, and <strong>Maya Rudolph</strong> breathe life into the dry military backdrop. The oddballs and straight played characters contribute to a picture worth more than the sum of its parts–which would already be substantial.

It’s a party up front and business in the back in this story about undercover cops trying to bust a high school drug ring. The premise could easily have slid hoaky or problematic, but the cast and writing keep the tone light and breezy. The supporting cast is stuffed with familiar faces and young talent, and it features one of <strong>Ice Cube</strong>’s funniest performances. Hill and Tatum’s chemistry and comedic timing are a delight. They’re part buddy cop, part <em><strong>Dumb and Dumber</strong></em>. It doesn’t dabble in absurdism or slapstick like some of the other movies on this list, but it’s a laugh-out-loud comedy that tees up a sequel with more to enjoy.</p> <div class="ad-odd"></div><h2 id="22-jump-street"> 22 Jump Street</h2> <div class="body-img responsive-img img-article-item" style="padding-bottom:66.666666666667%"> <figure> <picture>  <source media="(min-width: 1024px)" sizes="750px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/21-jump-street-jonah-hill-channing-tatum1-600x400.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=750&dpr=1.5"/> <source media="(min-width: 768px)" sizes="943px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/21-jump-street-jonah-hill-channing-tatum1-600x400.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=943&dpr=1.5"/> <source media="(min-width: 481px)" sizes="767px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/21-jump-street-jonah-hill-channing-tatum1-600x400.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=767&dpr=1.5"/> <source media="(min-width: 0px)" sizes="480px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/21-jump-street-jonah-hill-channing-tatum1-600x400.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=480&dpr=1.5"/>  <img width="600" height="400" class="lazyload" alt="22-jump-street-jonah-hill-channing-tatum"/> </picture> </figure> </div> <p> <strong>Directors</strong>: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller</p> <p><strong>Writers</strong>: Michael Bacall, Oren Uzeil, Rodney Rothman</p> <p><strong>Cast</strong>: Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Ice Cube, Nick Offerman, Peter Stormare, Wyatt Russell</p> <p>In the spirit of sequels that subvert the formula of the progenitor—<em><strong>Ocean’s 12</strong></em>, <em><strong>The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2</strong></em>, <em><strong>Aliens</strong></em>–22 Jump Street ups the stakes, amplifies the absurdity, and pokes fun at the franchise along the way. Hill and Tatum reunite as Schmidt and Jenko who’re tasked with infiltrating a college drug ring. The film takes a meta approach to obvious criticisms of the lead actor’s ages compared to their roles, and the unoriginality of repeating a similar story across movies. The ability of the filmmakers and cast to laugh at themselves alongside the audience is commendable. Like its predecessor, the film keeps the tone light–a hallmark of Lord and Miller’s filmography. Its self-referential nature means the movie doesn’t take itself too seriously. It keeps the jokes coming right on into the credits, spoofing the creative ways Hollywood works to retell the same stories.</p> <div class="ad-even"></div><h2 id="ace-ventura-when-nature-calls"> Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls</h2> <div class="body-img responsive-img img-article-item" style="padding-bottom:42.5%"> <figure> <picture>  <source media="(min-width: 1024px)" sizes="750px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/aceventurawhennaturecalls.jpeg?q=50&fit=crop&w=750&dpr=1.5"/> <source media="(min-width: 768px)" sizes="943px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/aceventurawhennaturecalls.jpeg?q=50&fit=crop&w=943&dpr=1.5"/> <source media="(min-width: 481px)" sizes="767px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/aceventurawhennaturecalls.jpeg?q=50&fit=crop&w=767&dpr=1.5"/> <source media="(min-width: 0px)" sizes="480px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/aceventurawhennaturecalls.jpeg?q=50&fit=crop&w=480&dpr=1.5"/>  <img width="1200" height="510" class="lazyload" alt="ace ventura when nature calls"/> </picture> <figcaption class="body-img-caption">via Warner Bros.</figcaption> </figure> </div> <p> <strong>Director</strong>: Steve Oedekerk</p> <p><strong>Writers</strong>: Steve Oedekerk, Jack Bernstein</p> <p><strong>Cast</strong>: Jim Carrey, Ian McNeice, Simon Callow, Maynard Eziashi, Bob Gunten, Sophie Okonedo</p> <p>After an unprecedented year in 1994–starring in <em><strong>Ace Ventura</strong></em>: <em><strong>Pet Detective</strong></em>, <em><strong>The Mask</strong></em>, and <em>Dumb and Dumber</em>–<strong>Jim Carrey</strong> slipped back into the Hawaiian shirt and slicked up hairdo of Ace Ventura in <em><strong>Ace Ventura</strong></em>: <em><strong>When Nature Calls</strong></em>. This sequel one-ups the original in every way. It’s wackier, louder, and even more over the top. From the <em><strong>Cliffhanger</strong></em> parody in the opening down to the fade-out at the end, Ace blasts the audience over the head with cheesy, ridiculous line delivery. Carrey’s classic vocal and facial manipulation create a dynamic range of expression for Ace to exist and annoy literally everyone. Directed by <strong>Steve Oedekerk</strong>, who would go on to write and direct <em><strong>Kung Pow</strong></em>: <em><strong>Enter the Fist</strong></em>, <em>Ace Ventura</em>: <em>When Nature Calls</em> is one of the director’s first steps on his road to comedy greatness.

He played to his strengths in the 007 spoof series <em>Austin Powers</em>, and he introduced the character in an all-time great satire. <em><strong>Austin Powers</strong></em>:<em><strong> International Man of Mystery</strong></em> rocketed Austin Powers, a James Bond-type spy, from the 1960s into the 1990s, and he brought every anachronism he could with him. Myers plays both protagonist and antagonist as Austin Powers and his arch-nemesis, Dr. Evil. The “fish out of water” schtick is played to maximum effect as Powers (Mike Myers), a swinging spy from the ‘60s, attempts to navigate the social climate of America in the 1990s. Behind the bond parody and endless sex jokes lies a movie about identity and personal evolution. But at the end of the day, the film, and series, is remembered for its persistent and crass sense of humor.

The movie takes the audience back from the 1990s to the 1960s as Austin Powers chases Dr. Evil through time. Where many sequels go bigger or in a different direction, <em>The Spy Who Shagged Me</em> feels like a continuation of the characters and gags from the first flick. Myers strapped on some prosthetics and a kilt to play a third character in the franchise, a mercenary called Fat Bastard. It’s just a silly and tawdry as its predecessor, and it doesn’t play around too much with the time travel plot elements–even breaking the fourth wall to tell viewers to turn their brains off and enjoy the comedy spectacle rather than dissect the theoretical physics of it all. Still, the film sees a more sensitive side of Austin who is plagued by insecurity following the theft of his mojo–his virality, his verve. The kick-ass, comedic, insecure action star’s self-awareness separates him from <em>MacGruber</em> as a man, and as a movie star.</p> <div class="ad-odd"></div><h2 id="barb-and-star-go-to-vista-del-mar"> Barb And Star Go To Vista Del Mar</h2> <div class="body-img responsive-img img-article-item" style="padding-bottom:55.007153075823%"> <figure> <picture>  <source media="(min-width: 1024px)" sizes="750px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Barb-and-star-go-to-vista-del-mar.jpeg?q=50&fit=crop&w=750&dpr=1.5"/> <source media="(min-width: 768px)" sizes="943px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Barb-and-star-go-to-vista-del-mar.jpeg?q=50&fit=crop&w=943&dpr=1.5"/> <source media="(min-width: 481px)" sizes="767px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Barb-and-star-go-to-vista-del-mar.jpeg?q=50&fit=crop&w=767&dpr=1.5"/> <source media="(min-width: 0px)" sizes="480px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Barb-and-star-go-to-vista-del-mar.jpeg?q=50&fit=crop&w=480&dpr=1.5"/>  <img width="1398" height="769" class="lazyload" alt="Barb-and-star-go-to-vista-del-mar"/> </picture> <figcaption class="body-img-caption">Image Via Lionsgate</figcaption> </figure> </div> <p><strong>Director</strong>: Josh Greenbaum</p> <p><strong>Writers</strong>: Annie Mumolo, Kristen Wiig</p> <p><strong>Cast</strong>: Kristen Wiig, Annie Mumolo, Jamie Dornan, Damon Wayans Jr., Reyn Doi, Adrian Makala</p> <p>Anything goes in <em><strong>Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar</strong></em>, and nothing can be assumed. Kristen Wiig and co-star, and co-writer, <strong>Annie Mumolo</strong> (<em>Bridesmaids</em>) turned in a quirky, heartwarming, hilarious, and wild comedy centered around two middle-aged midwest women on vacation.

Kristen Wiig shimmers as Star and as the cheesy, pale, maniacal villain, Sharon Gordon Fisherman. Sharon’s scheme to unleash a submarine swarming with deadly mosquitos in a revenge plot against the town of Vista Del Mar fits kindly alongside Dr. Evil’s desire for sharks with freaking laser beams attached to their heads. There’s a love triangle, a nonchalant approach to sexuality, and more than one song and dance number. Annie Mumolo shines just as bright playing Barb, the widow with some self-exploration to do. She and Wiig spit out dialogue scary fast in their smooth midwest accents. Their commentary and friendship are delightful.

It’s charming and ridiculous watching his crew design small-scale ways for Rod to hurt himself for a few bucks. The movie offers several avenues for humor outside of the pure schadenfreude of watching Rod hurt himself. Its creative use of editing creates a couple of the best bits in the film.

It’s one of the last Rogan and Franco pictures, due to allegations and legal trouble surrounding Franco, so enjoy their electric dynamic one last time in this absurd picture.</p> <div class="ad-even"></div><h2 id="keanu"> Keanu</h2> <div class="body-img responsive-img img-article-item" style="padding-bottom:84%"> <figure> <picture>  <source media="(min-width: 1024px)" sizes="750px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/keanu-keegan-michael-key-jordan-peele-600x504.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=750&dpr=1.5"/> <source media="(min-width: 768px)" sizes="943px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/keanu-keegan-michael-key-jordan-peele-600x504.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=943&dpr=1.5"/> <source media="(min-width: 481px)" sizes="767px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/keanu-keegan-michael-key-jordan-peele-600x504.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=767&dpr=1.5"/> <source media="(min-width: 0px)" sizes="480px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/keanu-keegan-michael-key-jordan-peele-600x504.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=480&dpr=1.5"/>  <img width="600" height="504" class="lazyload" alt="keanu-keegan-michael-key-jordan-peele"/> </picture> <figcaption class="body-img-caption">Image via Warner Bros.</figcaption> </figure> </div> <p><strong>Director</strong>: Peter Atencio</p> <p><strong>Writers</strong>: Jordan Peele, Alex Rubens</p> <p><strong>Cast</strong>: Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, Tiffany Haddish, Method Man, Darrell Britt-Gibson</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422/https://collider.com/tag/key-and-peele/"><em><strong>Key and Peele</strong></em></a> made the jump to the big screen in <em><strong>Keanu</strong></em> following the end of their hit sketch comedy show on Comedy Central. Written and directed by <em>Key and Peele</em> alumni, <strong>Peter Atencia</strong>, the movie feels like a long-form adaptation of their sketch comedy. The movie is littered with trademarks and callbacks to their show–them playing multiple characters, wordness to the turdness, Liam Neesons through–but all four seasons aren’t a prerequisite for enjoyment. The movie follows the men on a weekend adventure to rescue <strong>Jordan Peele</strong>’s new kitten, Keanu, who was stolen during a home invasion. A case of mistaken identity gets Key and Peele in the door with the 17th street Blips. The Blips are the newest, hardest gangsters around, but even they feel they have something to learn from the Allentown brothers, the duo whose identity the protagonists have adopted in order to further their investigation. The tone and visual style are expressly aligned with <em>MacGruber</em>, right on down to the celebration of '80s music.</p> <div class="ad-odd"></div><h2 id="the-naked-gun-from-the-files-of-police-squad"> The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad</h2> <div class="body-img responsive-img img-article-item" style="padding-bottom:50%"> <figure> <picture>  <source media="(min-width: 1024px)" sizes="750px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/the-naked-gun-2-leslie-nielsen.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=750&dpr=1.5"/> <source media="(min-width: 768px)" sizes="943px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/the-naked-gun-2-leslie-nielsen.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=943&dpr=1.5"/> <source media="(min-width: 481px)" sizes="767px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/the-naked-gun-2-leslie-nielsen.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=767&dpr=1.5"/> <source media="(min-width: 0px)" sizes="480px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/the-naked-gun-2-leslie-nielsen.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=480&dpr=1.5"/>  <img width="1400" height="700" class="lazyload" alt="the-naked-gun-2-leslie-nielsen"/> </picture> </figure> </div> <p><strong>Director</strong>: David Zucker</p> <p><strong>Writers</strong>: Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, Pat Proft</p> <p><strong>Cast</strong>: Leslie Nielsen, Priscilla Presley, Ricardo Montalban, George Kennedy, O.J.

Their slapstick revival presented as spoofs of popular films and filmmaking trends spawned some of the most ridiculous and hilarious movies of the late 20th century. Despite all of their influence, the movie that most feels at home alongside <em>MacGruber</em> is <em><strong>The Naked Gun</strong></em>: <em><strong>From the Files of Police Squad</strong></em>. <em><strong>Police Squad</strong></em> was a short show that ran briefly in the 1980s. It introduced detective Frank Drebin (<strong>Leslie Nielsen</strong>) and the police squad he relies on to crack cases and combat crime. The movie perfectly lifted the tone and overly literal brand of comedy from TV to film. <em>The Naked Gun</em> doesn’t get included in conversations surrounding best adaptation, though it’s rightfully revered as a comedy classic. Its never-ending, “yes and…” approach to its jokes pushes each gag to the limit of its comedic potential, including a sex scene to rival the awkward genius of <em>MacGruber</em>’s.</p> <div class="ad-even"></div><h2 id="the-other-guys"> The Other Guys</h2> <div class="body-img responsive-img img-article-item" style="padding-bottom:50%"> <figure> <picture>  <source media="(min-width: 1024px)" sizes="750px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/the-other-guys-social.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=750&dpr=1.5"/> <source media="(min-width: 768px)" sizes="943px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/the-other-guys-social.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=943&dpr=1.5"/> <source media="(min-width: 481px)" sizes="767px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/the-other-guys-social.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=767&dpr=1.5"/> <source media="(min-width: 0px)" sizes="480px" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220110014422im_/https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/the-other-guys-social.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=480&dpr=1.5"/>  <img width="1400" height="700" class="lazyload" alt=""/> </picture> </figure> </div> <p><strong>Director</strong>: Adam McKay</p> <p><strong>Writers</strong>: Adam McKay, Chris Henchy</p> <p><strong>Cast</strong>: Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Eva Mendes, Samuel L.

One of their movies stands out, though, when compared to <em>MacGruber</em>; <em><strong>The Other Guys</strong></em>. Will Ferrell and <strong>Mark Wahlberg </strong>star as <em>The Other Guys</em>.

Will Ferrell’s buttoned-up persona hides one of the best bits in the film and pairs swimmingly with Mark Wahlberg’s over eager badass with something to prove.

Mel Brooks takes on a new generation of comedians and actors with this cast, but the movie isn’t left wanting over it. Like a Jim Abrams or a Zucker picture, the movie breezes from one joke to the next, intermingling visual gags as set up or punchline.

For Stiller fans, Vaughn fans, or people who enjoy Rogan and Goldberg’s comedic writing, <em>The Watch</em> will likely tickle your funny bone.</p>  <div id="article-waypoint"></div>  <a
