The 50 Funniest Movies Ever Made

Today, the Criterion Collection continues doing God’s work by releasing, in glorious, bonus-filled DVD and Blu-ray editions, Ernst Lubitsch’s 1942 classic To Be or Not To Be, surely one of the funniest films ever made. But when we throw around a label like that, what exactly are we talking about? Rankings of the funniest movies ever are, it must be said, an inherently personal thing — comedies may well be the most subjective of all films, since everyone has very specific notions of what they find funny, and nothing I can say is going to convince you that, say, Casanova’s Big Night is uproarious and Jack and Jill isn’t, if you’ve made up your mind. But there’s a fair number of films that we all seem to have agreed are the funniest — and by that I’m talking sheer number of laughs, as opposed to being great movies that also happen to be comedies (i.e., Groundhog Day is a better movie than Stripes, but Stripes has more laughs, just to give one example which many people will probably disagree with). So with all of those disclaimers out of the way, here’s Flavorwire’s picks for the 50 funniest movies of all time.

It’s all but impossible to parody comedy; unlike the dead-serious Universal horror films that Mel Brooks sent up in Young Frankenstein, for example, the idea of spoofing what is already funny is usually an exercise in futility. The again, the subgenre of early-’80s summer camp comedies (with the exception of Meatballs) were often strained and desperate anyway. This 2001 comedy — from several of the minds behind the cult comedy The State — took an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach, parodying not just those movies, but the time period, romantic movie conventions, gender roles, and more.

Rolex- a watch with History

Rolex SA and its subsidiary Montres Tudor SA design, manufacture, distribute and service wristwatches sold under the Rolex and Tudor brands. Founded by Hans Wildorf and Alfred Davis in London, England in 1905 as Wilsdorf and Davis, Rolex moved its base of operations to Geneva, Switzerland in 1919.

Bloomberg Businessweek magazine ranked Rolex No.71 on its 2007 list of the 100 most valuable global brands. Rolex is the largest single luxury watch brand, producing about 2,000 watches per day, with estimated 2003 revenues of approximately US$3 billion.

Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law, Alfred Davis, founded Wilsdorf and Davis, the company that would eventually become Rolex SA, in London, England in 1905. Wilsdorf and Davis' main business at the time was importing Hermann Aegler's Swiss movements to England and placing them in quality watch cases made by Dennison and others. These early wristwatches were sold to jewellers, who then put their own names on the dial. The earliest watches from Wilsdorf and Davis were usually hallmarked "W&D" inside the caseback.

In 1908, Wilsdorf registered the trademark "Rolex" and opened an office in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The company name "Rolex" was registered on 15 November 1915. The book The Best of Time: Rolex Wristwatches: An Unauthorized History by Jeffrey P. Hess and James Dowling says that the name was just made up. One story, never confirmed by Wilsdorf, is that the name came from the French phrase horlogerie exquise, meaning "exquisite clockwork"or as a contraction of "horological excellence". Wilsdorf was said to want his watch brand's name to be easily pronounceable in any language.He also thought that the name "Rolex" was onomatopoeic, sounding like a watch being wound. It is easily pronounceable in many languages and, as all letters have the same size, allows to be written symmetrically. It was also short enough to fit on the face of a watch.

In 1914, Kew Observatory awarded a Rolex watch a Class A precision certificate, a distinction which was normally awarded exclusively to marine chronometers.

In 1919, Wilsdorf left England due to wartime taxes levied on luxury imports as well as export duties on the silver and gold used for the watch cases driving costs too high[and moved the company to Geneva, Switzerland, where it was established as the Rolex Watch Company. Its name was later changed to Montres Rolex, SA and finally Rolex, SA. Upon the death of his wife in 1944, Wilsdorf established the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation in which he left all of his Rolex shares, making sure that some of the company's income would go to charity. The company is still owned by a private trust and shares are not traded on any stock exchange.

In December 2008, the abrupt departure of Chief Executive Patrick Heiniger, for “personal reasons”, was followed by a denial by the company that it had lost 1 billion Swiss francs (approx £574 million, $900 million) invested with Bernard Madoff, the American asset manager who pleaded guilty to an approximately £30 billion worldwide Ponzi scheme fraud. Heiniger died March 5, 2013, after a long illness, according to an official statement issued by Rolex SA.

Today, Rolex watches are popularly considered status symbols

How to Spread a Sense of Humour

The Joke’s on All of Us

EVERY compulsive joker knows that joking leads to trouble. And so it has for my boss, E. Gordon Gee.

Mr. Gee, the president of Ohio State University, that he would soon retire. Lately he’s been under a lot of pressure for a few choice remarks. Like the one from last December when, teasing with the university’s athletic council about Notre Dame, he said, “The fathers are holy on Sunday, and they’re holy hell on the rest of the week.” When he was asked about Southeastern Conference fans mocking the Big Ten because it contains 14 schools, he joked, “You tell the S.E.C., when they can learn to read and write, then they can figure out what we’re doing.”

A university president is not supposed to have that kind of fun. Some found the remarks more offensive than playful, and they cost the man whom Time magazine just a few years ago named the best university president in the country a job he loved.

As an obsessive joke teller, I live in fear of a similar fate. I sometimes leave my classroom, stricken with nervous regret, praying nobody files a complaint because I told the joke about the Scotsman and the goat, which I’m sure had some relevance to class discussion. I wake up in the middle of the night after parties, thinking, my god, I can’t believe I told that dead baby joke. Yet I can’t resist. The riskier the joke, the funnier it can be.

I certainly don’t look to to Adolf Hitler, as a model, but I often think of one moment from his life. During one 1944 strategy meeting, a fly started buzzing around. It landed on the map, Hitler’s shoulder, and the map again. The Führer ordered Darges to kill it. Without a moment’s hesitation, Darges replied that the fly was an “airborne pest” and therefore the responsibility of Nicolaus von Below, the nearby Luftwaffe adjutant.

I love the joke, but I love, fear and identify with the impulse that drove Darges to tell it. By 1944, he must have had an inkling that his boss wasn’t blessed with a generous sense of humor. Didn’t matter. Darges had his joke, it was a good one, he had to tell it — and the joke is funnier now because it was dangerous then. Hitler turned to Darges, screamed, “You’re for the Eastern Front!” and dismissed him.

Historically, being a jester was a high-risk profession. In medieval and Renaissance courts, jesters softened with humor truths the monarch would otherwise forbid. But a successful jester needed tact. The beloved jester of Henry VIII, Will Somers, for example, once implied that the king’s wife was promiscuous and his daughter a bastard. Henry threatened to kill Somers with his bare hands. But Somers, who amused Henry by sleeping with the royal spaniels, was eventually forgiven.

Others weren’t so lucky. After assuring us that it was extremely rare for a jester to be punished, the historian Beatrice Otto, in “Fools Are Everywhere,” goes on to recount enough beheadings, banishments and autos-da-fé to give even the most benign wit a reason to think twice before teasing a king.

Though I’m not particularly scared of being beheaded, I do worry about ending up like “Santa” John Toomey, who for around 20 Christmases belted out rich baritone ho-ho-hos at a San Francisco Macy’s. Children adored him and so did adults, but for different reasons. When grown-ups sat on his lap, Santa John asked if they’d been good that year. When they said yes, he replied, “that’s too bad.” He said he was jolly because he knew “where all the naughty boys and girls live.” It was a bit of shtick he’d been doing for ages, but never, he insisted, when children could hear.

But in 2010, an older couple unacquainted with humor asked to sit on his lap, and Santa soon found himself stripped of his red coat. He died within a year.

With all due respect to Don Imus, the most famous joke-instigated firing in recent history was probably the 1976 canning of Earl L. Butz, President Gerald R. Ford’s secretary of agriculture. Mr. Butz was an inveterate joker. At the 1976 Republican National Convention, he amused himself by pitching pennies at the secretary of the Treasury, a stunt that walks the line between gratingly juvenile and almost charming. Who better to pitch pennies at?

John Dean, who was covering the convention for Rolling Stone, later asked Mr. Butz about the tepid reaction to a speech by Bob Dole. With a “mischievous smile,” Mr. Butz said, “Oh, hell, John, everybody was worn out by then. You know, it’s like the dog who screwed a skunk for a while, until it finally shouted, ‘I’ve had enough!’ ” It was a folksy and apt metaphor for an unproductive political convention grinding to an exhausted halt. But then he went on to tell the famously nasty racist joke that got him fired.

“IT’S only a joke” is more or less the defense every joker resorts to when humor blows up in his face. Every time I think of Earl Butz, and now Gordon Gee, I wince and think, “There but for the grace of God — and the fact that reporters don’t follow me around the country — go I.”

Still, I love jokes, even in their frequent ugliness. They illuminate the irresolvable contradictions our lives are built on. And they make us vulnerable to other people’s reactions — will you laugh, or not? Will I please you or offend you? That’s a complicated calculus when humor depends on surprise, which is close to shock, which is perilously close to outrage. It’s possible to make jokes about anything — even rape and the Holocaust — but I can’t think of a truly successful joke that is, at its base, attacking the victim. It hurts us when our jokes hurt others.

But we can’t give it up; we keep trying to tell good jokes, because we love the sound of laughter, my voice joining with yours in a fearful celebration of how the frailties of others are also our own.

Long durations may lead to depression and changes to brain physiology. In the absence of a social context that is needed to validate perceptions of their environment, prisoners become highly malleable, abnormally sensitive, and exhibit increased vulnerability to the influence of those controlling their environment. Social connection and the support provided from social interaction are prerequisite to long-term social adjustment as a prisoner.
Prisoners exhibit the paradoxical effect of social withdrawal after long periods of solitary confinement. A shift takes place from a craving for greater social contact, to a fear of it. They may grow lethargic and apathetic, and no longer be able to control their own conduct when released from solitary confinement. They can come to depend upon the prison structure to control and limit their conduct.
Long-term stays in solitary confinement can cause prisoners to develop clinical depression, and long-term impulse control disorder. Those with pre-existing mental illnesses are at a higher risk for developing psychiatric symptoms. Some common behaviours are self-mutilation, suicidal tendencies, and psychosis.
A psychopathological condition identified as "SHU syndrome" has been observed among such prisoners. Symptoms are characterized as problems with concentration and memory, distortions of perception, and hallucinations. Most convicts suffering from SHU syndrome exhibit extreme generalized anxiety and panic disorder, with some suffering amnesia.
