10 FUNNIEST Epic Comedies Of All Time

10. Spaceballs

Choosing the best of Mel Brooks' work is especially hard because all of his films are comedic masterpieces. But when it comes to narrowing it down to epic comedies, there's really only one choice.

Spaceballs was Brooks' commentary on the new hotness of film at the time, that of course being Star Wars, Star Trek, Planet Of The Apes and other films like them. The interesting thing about this movie is how it's an old guard filmmaker commenting on the new trends of the movies, but unlike EVERY other time this happens, it comes off more as a celebration than an old man yelling at a cloud.

The characters are still likeable, the jokes - even the ones directly at Star Wars and its contemporaries' expense - have a fun ribbing nature to them rather than a bitter angry one, and you still want to see a happy ending for all involved.

And of course, the villains absolutely steal the show, with President Scroob, Sanders, and Dark Helmet being three of the funniest villains in cinema history.
