I'll get shite for this, but... Top Gun.

My wife and I laughed throughout the movie.

I felt the movie Scarface and Pacino’s accent dwarfed into more of a comedy than a serious film.

Not a show but



As far as a show goes as much as I love watching In the Heat of the Night it’s pretty comical to watch some episodes with the villains and the schemes they had today

I'm surprised Walker, Texas Ranger hasn't been mentioned yet.

Some will say the show never took itself too seriously, but I'd argue it was at its funniest when they tried to amp up the drama (especially with Alex).

I don't know about a show, but I thought the movie Monster was funny as shite.

The biggest problem with Reacher is that Alan Ritchson is possibly the worst actor in the world.

You just have to look at it like his roles are a continuation of his Thad Castle role.

When you realize it’s basically Thad playing Jack Reacher it’s pretty amazing.

The Following with Kevin Bacon has got to be in the mix. So over the top and cheesy.

Handmaids Tale comes to mind. It’s just so ridiculous and it’s even funnier that there are unhinged people that think we are heading towards that

Breaking Bad

I watched it right after watching The Wire so it all just seemed ridiculous.

Every character sucked and thought they were so important.
