Ultimate Comedy DVD Collection
The Ultimate Comedy DVD Collection is the perfect cure for those who love to laugh but can’t find anything funny in the world around them. Whether you’re a politician or a plumber, inserting one of the these comedies into your DVD player will soon have you holding your sides while laughing at the antics of jokesters like Jim Carrey, Chris Tucker, Mel Brooks, and Mike Myers. There are a lot of comedy box sets currently available on the market, but this collection has them all beat.
You get a whopping 30 DVDs, and you’ll save over $50 off the list price by ordering from Amazon. The bulk of the movies are from the last 20 years, although a few earlier classics are also included. From the uproarious guy humor of Caddyshack to the satirical genius of Christopher Guest, there’s a little something for everybody.
Below, I’ve included a list of all the films included in this Ultimate Comedy DVD Collection. Each movie is presented in widescreen, and some even feature extras such as audio commentary, deleted scenes, and trailers. In short, you’ll be in stitches for months.
