– June 5, 2017
From Academy Award winners to outrageous, campy comedies, this century has been filled with a variety of laugh-inducing flicks.
These films star titans of the genre, including Seth Rogen, Jack Black, Sacha Baron Cohen and Chris Rock. And while some are of the laugh-out-loud variety, other comedies are satirical, of the mumblecore genre, or just plain dark.
