   ^ I absolutely love Beetlejuice, and liked A Fish Called Wanda (the latter is: "as far as I remember"). But, I don't really remember if I laughed in any of the scenes of the two, except for the "head shrinking" scene of Beetlejuice. Tim Burton's darkly humorous style is very captivating, but not the type that makes me "laughing in the aisles". Perhaps this is related to me having been a kid when I watched his earlier masterpieces.

	^ They're different type of comedies, I think. Beetlejuice and Wanda are more witty whereas the two of your poll are plain nonsense... (almost). And I love nonsense! I prefer The Naked Gun. And I think The Naked Gun 2½ is even better/sillier... I even use this excerpt to explain some montage theories in my film classes: Edited by suitkees - February 23 2021 at 14:56

	Naked Gun films were good, but Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was epic...
