10 Worst Comedy Movies That Have Zero Laughs

Some comedy films aim for laughs but land with a thud, leaving audiences more confused than amused. I’ve ranked the ten worst offenders that fail to deliver even a chuckle, based on their weak humor and wasted potential. Let’s count down from the least bad to the absolute worst.

10. The Love Guru (2008)

Mike Myers plays a quirky spiritual advisor in ‘The Love Guru’, aiming to fix a hockey player’s love life. The film leans on crude gags and cultural stereotypes, but the jokes feel forced and dated.

Myers’ energy can’t save a script that’s more awkward than funny. It’s a misfire that buries its cast, including Jessica Alba and Justin Timberlake, in unfunny chaos.

9. Jack and Jill (2011)

Adam Sandler doubles up as twins Jack and Jill in ‘Jack and Jill’, a comedy about family annoyance. The humor relies on Sandler in drag and tired sibling bickering, but it’s painfully unfunny.

Even Al Pacino’s cameo as himself feels like a desperate plea for laughs. The film’s lazy writing makes it a slog, with no redeeming gags.

8. Movie 43 (2013)

‘Movie 43’ is a sketch comedy anthology with stars like Hugh Jackman and Kate Winslet in absurd shorts. The segments aim for shock value, but the crude humor lands flat and feels mean-spirited.

With no cohesive thread, it’s a jumbled mess that wastes talent. The film’s attempt at edgy comedy falls apart, offering zero laughs.

7. The Happytime Murders (2018)

‘The Happytime Murders’ mixes puppets and humans in a gritty detective story, starring Melissa McCarthy. It banks on R-rated puppet antics for laughs, but the shock humor grows stale fast.

The weak plot and one-note gags make it tedious, despite the cast’s effort. It tries to be edgy, but the comedy misses every mark.

6. The Happening (2008)

In ‘The Happening’, M. Night Shyamalan attempts a thriller-comedy about a couple fleeing plants that cause people to commit suicide. The attempt at humor in dialogue and bizarre scenarios, like Mark Wahlberg talking to a plastic plant, is painfully awkward.

The film’s serious tone clashes with its unintentional laughs, making it a tonal disaster. It’s a comedy by accident, and not in a good way.

5. Disaster Movie (2008)

‘Disaster Movie’ is a spoof flick that mocks pop culture and disaster films, starring Carmen Electra and Kim Kardashian. Its lazy parodies and random gags, like celebrity impersonations, fail to land.

The script feels like a string of internet memes with no wit. It’s a low point in the spoof genre, with nothing to chuckle at.

4. Epic Movie (2007)

‘Epic Movie’ tries to parody fantasy blockbusters, with a cast including Kal Penn and Jennifer Coolidge. The humor is a mix of dated references and gross-out bits that feel recycled from better spoofs.

It lacks creativity, with scenes that drag on without punchlines. The film’s attempt at epic laughs is a complete dud.

3. Gigli (2003)

‘Gigli’ stars Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez as criminals on a kidnapping job, marketed as a crime-comedy. The dialogue, meant to be witty, is cringeworthy, and the romance overshadows any humor.

The film’s pacing is glacial, and the jokes are nonexistent. It’s a notorious flop that fails to spark even a smirk.

2. Son of the Mask (2005)

‘Son of the Mask’, a sequel to ‘The Mask’, follows Jamie Kennedy as a cartoonist with a magical mask. Without Jim Carrey’s charm, the slapstick feels forced, and the CGI-heavy gags are more annoying than funny.

The thin plot and over-the-top antics bomb completely. It’s a painful attempt at comedy that leaves viewers stone-faced.

1. Norbit (2007)

Eddie Murphy plays multiple roles in ‘Norbit’, including a nerdy man married to a domineering woman. The humor hinges on fat jokes and stereotypes, delivered with zero wit or heart.

Murphy’s talent is buried under a mean-spirited script that feels dated even for its time. It’s the least funny comedy here, with no laughs to salvage it.
