I'm stealing this from the Maryland board, in part because I grew irritated with how "wrong" many of the lists were. Rank the following "recent" comedies in order, omitting any that you haven't seen. Answers will be graded against the correct master list (which is not shown here, order is random)...

Zoolander
Old School
Meet the Parents
Dodgeball
Anchorman
40 year old virgin
Talladega Nights
Wedding Crashers
Superbad
The Hangover
Knocked Up
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Role Models
Step Brothers

Put every movie with Paul Rudd in it near the top.

Superbad is my favorite of the group.
From the town of Possum's Paw, Alabama, standing 6'2" and weighing 150 lbs, the one, the only, the legend... Bootney Farnsworth.

I have a problem on some deciding whether to rank them as overall enjoyable films vs "that movie was funny"

So far Mook is surprisingly the leader in the clubhouse with a B-, while atm is looking at a gentleman's C and Hizzy is either Bluto (F) or D-Day (all incomplete), depending on how charitable I'm feeling.

That's a C for Cats Rule and a D+ for AA, although I'm sure he'll take some consolation in knowing that his tastes closely conform to the average Maryland fan...

Those aren't my tastes. I just arranged the list by highest rated on "Rotten Tomatoes."

Ozzie Nelson tells me that you failed to cite your sources. F, take a seat.

Arranging a list by how they're ranked on a website is Fair Use. I did not copy any proprietary information. Saw that on Law & Order.

No one accused you of copyright infringement, but Ozzie Nelson assured me that the absence of attribution constitutes academic dishonesty. Take it up with him. In the event that he grants your appeal, that list looks more like a B- and closer scrutiny will be needed as to whether it actually passes Mook's score.
