We dutifully shoved three decades of Hollywood schlock to find 50 comedies that stand the test of time. It's an LOL countdown, y'all.

UPDATE: When Complex first listed the best of the best funny flicks, the year was 2008. In case you're just waking from a coma, it's 2011 now, and a whole gang of gut-busting movies have come out while you were sleeping. That's why Complex went back to the lab to reassess rankings. Some flicks have dropped, others have shot up. Check out both lists to see where your favorites fall! And if you hate our picks, well, that's why scathing comments were invented.
