Raped in the face!

Happy Texas (1999). Haven't seen in in decades so not sure how it holds up, but I've got memories of it being hilarious.

Real Men

A 1987 comedy that includes the single most pro-trans scene I've ever seen on my life.

Bob even becomes convinced he can shoot people by aiming his finger-guns and yelling, “Bang!”

Wow. I completely forgot about this movie. I loved that gag. Suppose I'll seek this one out today!

I feel like not enough people have seen "Secondhand Lions".

The Castle and Kenny, are both excellent aussie comedies. They're kinda like feature length dad jokes.

Guest House Paradiso.

Batshit insane English humor. Got to love the style, but if you do, it's fantastic.

Cold Pursuit

I saw it in theatres and I remember people weren’t laughing and some were walking out because they were bored. I can guarantee that all of them saw Liam Neeson was the lead and were expecting another action packed Taken type movie. What we got instead was a movie reminiscent of Fargo or The Big Lebowski. It’s absolutely hilarious, I’ve watched it many times and I’ve shown friends this one and they’ve all loved it. Highly recommend!

Noises Off is a great film, but i'm not sure if it's obscure enough
