I'm not nuts about any of these movies, but that doesn't mean I'm above this type of humor, it just means there are probably 3 different but similar movies I would have put on the poll.  Can't think of which ones but one of them might be Weird Science.  No voto.

Not particularly a fan of any of these but The Jerk (Steve Martin) is one of mine.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

not thrilled with the list, but I guess Ace Vent--  most of Woody's films still hold up, and Tropic Thunder comes to mind

That is simply the best tag-line ever.
What?

I lose much of my love for Steve Martin when he dared take on a Peter Sellers' role...

Aye. There are some roles it's better to walk away from, Clouseau was definitely one of them.
What?

I did like Mrs Doubtfire when I saw it years back.  But not good for a gazillion times.  Naked Gun series, on the other hand, would be worth it every time.

It still makes me laugh every time I watch it.

Mrs. Doubtfire is occasionally funny - as is the Pet Detective. I voted for the latter, because it actually makes me laugh (again occasionally).

I haven't seen Ace Ventura, but I agree about the other two movies.
I was disappointed about both.

yeah the Martin/Pink Panther thing was a disaster, I think co-star Kevin Kline would've made a much better Clouseau (though the script stunk)

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

I didn't find any of these movies particularly funny. But I cannot stand Jim Carrey and his stale antics far more than Williams or Murphy. Actually, Robin Williams was hilarious as "King of the Moon" in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
