The world can be a pretty scary place sometimes, so thank goodness we have funny movies to make us laugh. A number of recent comedy movies have done just that. The last four or five years have given audiences some truly hilarious&nbsp;films that are already on their way to achieving &quot;classic&quot; status. Other recently released comedies&nbsp;may not quite get elevated to that lofty level, but they provide&nbsp;a few&nbsp;hours of escapist entertainment nonetheless. The best new top comedy movies make you forget your problems for a little while at least. They send you away feeling upbeat and happy. Such an experience is always worth the price of a ticket or a rental fee.

Every generation produces its own stars. Modern comedies are driven by immensely talented performers such as Melissa McCarthy, Seth Rogen, Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish, and Amy Schumer, to name just a few. These are the people who are making their mark on cinematic humor in this decade.&nbsp;

There are many kinds of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/100-all-time-greatest-comedy-films">humor in movies</a>. Sometimes it's the rapid-fire back-and-forth dialogue between characters that makes us laugh. (Think classic screwball comedies.) Other times, it's shamelessly juvenile humor (think <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/dumb-and-dumber-behind-the-scenes/gordon-cameron">Dumb and Dumber</a>) or expertly timed physical gags (think Buster Keaton).Occasionally, however, the humor can come from a single actor talking all by him- or herself. A well-written comedy monologue can build and roll until the audience is laughing hysterically. It also provides the opportunity for a performer to really let go - to have the kind of scenery-chewing fun that's often considered too “over-the-top.”Here's a selection of super funny monologues in movies.

Great Moments in SNL History

Saturday Night Live

Saturday Night Live has been on NBC since 1975, entertaining the masses while offering weekly commentary and interpretations of current, past, and even future events.

During the show&#39;s&nbsp;tenure, SNL skits have highlighted&nbsp;the inconsistencies, injustices, or contradictions of major events - and provided much-needed comic relief in the process. Sometimes SNL sketches are ridiculous to the point of absurdity. On other occasions, SNL manages to&nbsp;depict&nbsp;historical events with an uncanny sense of realism.

On SNL,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/how-political-figures-feel-about-snl-impressions/genevieve-carlton" target="_blank">impressions of politicians</a> and celebrities accompany pokes at everyday actions, behaviors, and attitudes. A healthy mix of these can be found in countless sketches about historical events, some of which you can find discussed below.&nbsp;

When comedy is at its best, it punches up. In other words, it speaks truth to power, ridiculing and satirizing those with power who might abuse those with less. When comedy is at its worst, the situation is reversed. Comedy that punches down is lazy and cruel and shouldn't elicit anything close to genuine mirth.&nbsp;Only, it's not quite that simple. As decades and centuries pass, power dynamics change, and along with them so do social attitudes about what it's acceptable to joke about. We've all experienced the unpleasant sensation of watching a so-called “classic” comedy from the ‘70s, ’80s, or '90s, only to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/90s-comedies-crossed-the-line/michelle-nati">cringe more than laugh</a>.&nbsp;Every decade is full of comedies that didn't age well. When it comes to comedies from the early 2010s in particular, many handled a variety of subjects poorly, like sex and consent, transgender visibility, or even America's relationship with law enforcement. Not to be a downer, but here are comedies from the 2010s that really <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/comedies-crossed-the-line-early-2000s/thomas-west">crossed the line</a>, at least by today's standards.&nbsp;

Sitcoms have been set in all sorts of places over the years, including a deserted island and a suburban home. One category of setting that always seems to keep popping up as the decades pass is the workplace. Co-workers are forced to spend lots of time together, for better or worse, their relationships <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-friend-groups-on-tv/adina-kruskal">in and outside their group</a> tend to drive the show's narrative. The formula is perfect for comedy, so TV creators have using it for almost as long as TV has existed.Whether you grew up watching <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/underrated-90s-sitcoms/thomas-west">sitcoms from the ‘90s</a> or decades before or after, odds are, you’ve enjoyed a workplace sitcom or two. Especially if you're unhappy at your current job, these fictional workplaces may seem all the more enticing by comparison. This list highlights the best workplace sitcoms that have viewers wishing they could apply and hang out with the characters in real life.

Workplace Sitcoms That Make Us Want To Fill Out A Job Application

It&#39;s funny how sitcoms that are intended to make us laugh end up making us weep like little babies when they come to an end. Can you blame us? Some of these sitcoms end up running for over a decade - that is a very long time to get to know someone, even if they are a fictional character&nbsp;in a TV sitcom.

If the final scene in a sitcom or <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/saddest-comedy-final-scenes/julian-hoffman" target="_blank">silly movie</a> made you shed a tear, it means the creators did something right. We&nbsp;feel&nbsp;so connected to these characters that we actually feel grief when they are ripped out of our lives so suddenly, almost like we&#39;re losing a real friend. Luckily for us, we get to keep these characters in our lives indefinitely via physical media and streaming services, but that doesn&#39;t mean we didn&#39;t bawl our eyes out when we got to that final scene.

Sitcoms as a genre tend to rely on a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/sitcom-characters-who-changed-personalities/sergio-pereira">number of tropes and character types</a>, all of which need to work together in just the right way in order to make a given show really work. Many people will recognize one particular staple: the grump, who makes it a point of being curmudgeonly, undercutting more optimistic characters.Though such grumpy characters&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-sitcom-villains/thomas-west">aren't necessarily villains</a>, they are often framed as antagonists in one way or another. On the other hand, many of these characters are shown to soften as shows go on, revealing a heart of gold underneath the tough exterior. The presence of a token grump in funny shows plays a key role in allowing the humor to work, and it’s impossible to imagine such shows without them.

Actors like Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman, and John Malkovich can&#39;t always play the villain. These times great villains were played by comedians prove that sometimes casting against type can reap great rewards.

Robin Williams and Jim Carrey were both hilarious stand-up comedians with&nbsp;impressive filmographies filled with hilarious movies. However, both actors wanted to expand their resumes with <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-serious-movies-starring-comedians" target="_blank">dramatic roles</a>&nbsp;that cast them in a completely different light.&nbsp;Sometimes it&#39;s hard to imagine our comedic heroes <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movie-villains-played-by-musicians/mike-mcgranaghan" target="_blank">playing the bad guy</a>.

Bart can be a raven, Mr. Burns can be a vampire, and Homer can be the savior of all mankind.&nbsp;

As these banned SNL hosts and guests proved the hard way, on live television, anything can happen. These fine actors, comedians, public figures, and musicians each did something so profane, outrageous, or just plain rude that they were banned from the sketch comedy institution of Saturday Night Live for life. Which hosts and musical guests have been banned from SNL?

It might be a surprise that in over 40 years of the show being on the air, only a little over a dozen of the hundreds of performers and guests have been banned. From Sin&eacute;ad O&#39;Connor&#39;s infamous incident with the photo of the Pope,&nbsp;to <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/ludicrous-steven-seagal-stories/robert-f-mason?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">actors like Steven Seagal</a> acting like jerks, these stars and public figures are all part of an elite group banned from Saturday Night Live.

It&#39;s not necessarily a group they wanted to be a part of, but their outrageous behavior, either on stage or behind the scenes (or both), got all these people on the Saturday Night Live banned list. Read through the list below to find out if your favorite SNL host or musical guest has ever been banned from appearing on the show.

It’s hard to choose the best sitcoms of the ‘90s - so many quality theme songs, so many outlandish misunderstandings, and so many will-they-or-wont-they plot lines. Though Seinfeld dominated much of the era, the show actually began its run in the ‘80s, so for the purposes of this best-of list, we begin at the beginning: The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Home Improvement, and Beavis and Butt-head are just a few of the greatest sitcoms to start the ‘90s.By the time Clinton was sworn into office, Blossom, Martin, and Mad About You were already must-see mainstays in '90s television. Building on the successes of ensemble comedies like Cheers and Night Court, other sitcoms of the '90s like&nbsp;Wings, Frasier, and The Drew Carey Show boasted a core group of characters getting equal airtime and intersecting storylines.Then, there were the cultural phenomena. Friends took off like a pop-culture rocket, influencing music, fashion, hairstyles, and vernacular. The long-running South Park launched on Comedy Central and neither animation nor celebrity spoofing would ever be the same. Cable broke new programming ground with Sex and the City, among other shows, setting a course for the ‘00s and teens, where subscription cable dominates the zeitgeist and awards shows.Some critics’ darlings, like NewsRadio, saw abbreviated runs, while worn-out premises, like The Nanny, exceeded expectations. Shows like Will &amp; Grace, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Living Single, and Step by Step reflected how the culture was redefining the traditional family. The funniest shows of the ‘90s entertained but were also informed by the way we live today.What are the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/funny-sitcom-jokes-nostalgic/lauren-glen?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best '90s sitcoms</a>?
