Funny - Actually Good? I'll list the last movie i found funny and the last good comedy

Will Ferrell - Daddy's Home/Get Hard (2015) - Megamind (2010) - Step Brothers (2008) *Live-action

Vince Vaughn - Freaky (2020) * actually very good before that Wedding Crashers (2005)

Owen Wilson - The Internship (2013) - Wedding Crashers (2005)

Ben Stiller - The Watch (2012) - Tropic Thunder/Madagascar 2 (2008) --> Recently he was in the Meyerowitz Stories which I liked but was not a comedy and his cameo in the shitty movie Hubie Halloween was fantastic.

Mike Meyers - Shrek in general (2010) - Austin Powers Trilogy (2002) * live action. Personally he's only had 3 hits, I married an Axe Murderer, Waynes World, and Austin Powers. Though they are all so damn good.

Jonah Hill - 22 Jump Street (2014) - 21 Jump Street (2012)

Seth Rogan - This is the End (2013) - Pineapple Express (2008) *Peak Rogen

James Franco - The Disaster Artist (2017)

Steve Carrell - Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011) *if you count RomComs otherwise - The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005)

Jack Black - The New Jumanji (2019) *He's one of the highlights - Some mixture of Kung Fu Panda/Bernie/The Polka King, which is independent or animated stuff

Ed Helms - Tag (2018) - Cedar Rapids/The Hangover II (2011) - I don't really like Ed helms much

Jason Segel - This is the End (2013) - Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) *Peak Segel outside of HiMYM

Paul Rudd - Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) *Legit great, but before that series Knocked Up (2008) - I have high hopes for Ghostbusters: Afterlife

My list for those guys. Now I can enjoy a good shitty comedy. Like Vince Vaugh in the Internship. I love watching that movie. I enjoy it a lot despite it being crap. But is it a great comedy? Not even close.

I need more comedy. Comedy is what I watch when I can't sleep, if I'm sick, or if I just want to kill myself.
