A list of the best comedy movies of all time has been released, with some outlets reporting that the american film institute has named a specific film as the funniest of all time. However, there is some discrepancy in the rankings, with different sources suggesting different films as the best comedy, including blazing saddles and the naked gun. The lists appear to be part of a broader effort to compile the most essential and funniest comedies, with some outlets providing their own rankings and others reporting on the american film institute's proclamation.
