He Said Perspective

By Tyler Ahring

Well unlike Ms. Clark I am going to talk about movies people actually enjoy.

For  all of you out there that don’t enjoy sitting down to watch a horribly sappy and sad movie, this is for you. I would personally rather sit down and watch a gut buster (funny movie).

 For my 5th favorite funny movie I go to a TV series spun into a few different movies. Nothing is more crude, distasteful, but roll on the floor laughing more than South Park. South Park has been making people laugh for 12 long years. This show manages to capture recent news and stay current with the times.

 Counting down, with #4 I am going with Dodgeball. Everyone loves an underdog story with a guy named “White” as the main foe. Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn managed to pull off one of the funniest movies of the year in 2004. This isn’t surprising with quotes like “Your gym is a skidmark on the underpants of society” and, “If you can dodge a wrench then you can dodge a ball.” Funny quotes make a movie for me and this movie is full of them.

 Will Ferrell, Will Ferrell, Will Ferrell. This man just might be the funniest man on earth. He manages to claim my #3 spot with the classic, “Talladega Nights.” I have no idea how many times I’ve heard people quote lines from the dinner scene in this movie. “I’m gonna come at you like a spider monkey,” was a phrase heard almost everyday for almost a year after this movie hit theatres.

 Almost at the top, but at #2 how can you even forget the Austin Powers trilogy? Mike Myers hit it big in the hearts of all stupid humor fans. Running around as an eight year old I was spouting off ridiculous quotes from this movie. Austin Powers will take you back to a time our generation never saw, and making it really humorous for everyone to enjoy.

 Do I have another call for a Will Ferrell movie? Yes, that’s right it’s time for the movie of the moment, Step Brothers. This movie is rated-R for many reasons, but it definitely catches peoples’ laughter. This movie with an almost completely useless plot, and no story manages to somehow make people laugh. The best way I believe there is to make a funny movie: hire Will Ferrell.

 So as everyone can obviously tell my movies blow Ms. Clark’s out of the water. Sit down for a laugh, not a cry because it will be much more enjoyable. Before ending this countdown of amazing movies, I must warn you, I only have one rule: never touch my drum set!
