Little Nicky is one of the funniest movies of all time. His new movie where he plays the dad only 10 years older than the son looks kind of funny. Better than his other recent stuff.

The world is full of stupid people who think Tyler perry is funny also.

---

Tyler Perry isn't funny to you because the humor isn't geared for you. It's almost directly at black people. It doesn't mean others can't or won't find it funny, but that's who his humor is "for." And he makes fricking BANK because of that.

Also, I'm pretty sure those numbers above are just domestic box office numbers. Worldwide numbers are off the charts for his movies (though that doesn't equate to "funny").

Little Nicky is one of the funniest movies of all time.

I will agree that Little Nicky is hilarious. This movie did come out in my college weed smoking days so my friends and I found it more and more funny with multiple viewings. We had this movie on a loop for about a 2 week period when it first hit dvd. The soundtrack is top 15 all time IMO.

likes to hold themselves to a littler higher standard than the likes of Adam sandler and Tyler perry though.

Nothing quite as self-satisfying as a feeling of self-importance..
