Idle Hands.
2000-era disaffected teen horror-comedy. Not shy about the horror elements. Absolutely bombed. Basically a forgotten stoner comedy that you reeeally shouldn't watch high.
Devon Sawa, Seth Green, Elden Henson, Jessica Alba, Vivica Fox.

Dirty Work: Norm MacDonald in his element. An extended sequence of him and his friend staring blankly ahead holding dead fish while a chainsaw massacre unfolds offscreen is amazing.
The Trouble with Harry: Alfred Hitchcock does madcap comedy. The trouble with Harry is that he's dead, and although no one really minds, everyone thinks it's their fault. Probably the biggest starring role for a corpse until Weekend at Bernie's.

Spies like us - Dan Akroyd / Chevy Chase - little seen 80s comedy which has some hilarious bits , great cameos and whip fast dialogue.

I'm really surprised I don't see "Big Trouble in Little China" on here yet.
I might catch some flack by saying this was a very respectful movie to Chinese culture for its time. This is an early Kurt Russel film, when he was pushing towards being an action star. It drifts from the classic "white guy hero in strange culture" trope and melds into a fun story where the audience-stand-in hero accepts he's out of his league and goes with it. Also, this is Victor Wong and James Hong's equivalent of Heat, where they get well developed characters and face off with each other in a grand arc. My brother and I used to quote it to each other all the time... if you ever hear someone say "Now this really pisses me off to no end," you'll get it by the end of the movie.

The Yes Man.
Human Traffic
Just Visiting. (US version) honestly love that movie, of course it's gonna be cheesy, but it's a fun, funny movie that has heart.
It's about a 12th century knight and his peasant servant that gets sent to the 21st century, and it's so good.
Is Airplane common?
What about Naked Gun series?
I would say those are pretty famous. At least I hope they are to people here lol.

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

Sex Drive! But it has to be the unrated uncut version. I'm grinning so hard just thinking about some scenes, especially those with Seth Green. "That's great cock, John!"
Big Nothing (2006) with Simon Pegg, Alice Eve, David Schwimmer...a train wreck of events that always makes me laugh when I watch it.

The Court Jester (starring Danny Kaye)
Old school movie from the 50s era. Still screamingly hilarious today.
Instructions not included, Safety not guaranteed. That's two separate movies in case the name pattern is confusing
