the big lebowski, obv.
after staring at NT's avatar for a couple of minutes, i was compelled to re-watch it.

oh, can someone explain to my dumb ass why dr.strangelove is funny (or tolerable) ?

[VincentVega]

Ok Nath, Caddyshack is obviously there..i didnt even feel i had to mention it, and sure animal house too. Nobody mentioned Billy MAdison yet, not a lot of Adam Sandler fans?

[Fishmonger]

I don't know if this is OOT heresy, but Madison isn't Sandler's best movie. Waterboy and Big Daddy are way better. Although the 'I award you no points' line is classic.

I'm going to have go ahead and disagree with you there
I've never seen Big Daddy in its entirety, but the parts I did see I was not impressed with. And I didn't find the Waterboy that funny. And I grew up with people like that, so if anyone should have, it was me.

It's weird what makes some of these dumb movies great and some suck. It's almost intagible. Why is Billy Madison good and Waterboy not so much, why is Tommy Boy hilarious while Black Sheep sucks, Super Troopers is great but Club Dread is (by most accounts) not worth seeing, etc. etc.

No.
And it's one of my favorite movies. But I never try to explain to people why something's funny. If you don't get it, you don't get it.
