I tend to things like
Young Frankenstien
Monty Python and (Holy Grail, most of Meaning of Life, Life of Bryan, etc)
Princess Bride
Mel Brooks movies to about History of the World, not much since
others that will occur to be about an hour from now...
Well, I don't know about laugh till it hurts (I love those kind), but here's a brief list of what I've liked recently:
Danny Deckchair
the Reduced Shakespeare Company
Throw Momma from the Train
Waking Ned Devine
well, it's pretty sad that this is all I could come up with, even after an (what I thought was) exhaustive search on Netflix. There aren't a lot of highly rated comedies on Netflix -- apparently comedy is very subjective, because nobody really liked any of the movies on there. I'll totally admit, my list isn't even that good -- I can't remember how long it's been since I've seen a comedy that I thought was "laugh till it hurts."

Anything with Abbott & Costello or The Marx Brothers. If Groucho can't make you giggle, you're dead inside (or illiterate).
I don't think there have ever been any two films with more quotable jokes per minute than 'Young Frankenstein' and 'Blazing Saddles' (well, okay, 'Monty Python & the Holy Grail', too).
'Something About Mary' is hysterical and disturbing at the same time.
Woody Allen's 'Sleeper' - I can still laugh out loud just thinking about it.
And Kevin Smith's 'Dogma' is an all-time favorite for Jay & Silent Bob's best performances ("Like I ever drove before") and an uplifting spiritual message to boot.
Not sure why, but I liked the last two Austin Powers films much better than the first. Maybe it was just Heather Graham and Beyonce...
It's not a movie, per se, but I highly recommend Bill Hicks' DvD: "Live: Satirist, Social Critic, Stand-up," that includes all three of his cable specials. The first time I saw Revelations, I laughed myself into hyperventilation. What a loss. Now God has Bill, Lenny, Pryor AND George Carlin. Heaven must be a laugh riot every f**kin' night.
'Pee Wee's Big Adventure', 'Weird Science', 'Mystery Men'...and if you have a twisted sense of humor 'Return of the Living Dead' and 'Eight Legged Freaks' are hysterical. But then I actually got a few giggles out of 'Earnest: Scared Stupid'. "Booger-Lip". Now that's funny, I don't care who you are... _________________ "I don't mean to sound bitter, cynical or cruel - but I am, so that's how it comes out."

I loved the Ernest movies and certainly very little is more amusing that the Marx Bothers. I dont think anyone mentioned Animal House or Happy Gilmore. I also like the more girly funny movies....cause Im a girl. Murials Wedding and 13 going on 30 I think are hillarious.
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World may be the funniest movie ever. There were just laughs constantly right to the end.
What's Up, Doc? with Barbra Streissand an Ryan O'Neal was very funny.
I love the scene in the Marx Brothers movie A Night at the Opera in which all those people are getting stuffed in the one cabin on the ship. That's classic comedy!
Weekend at Bernies
The Pink Panther (The new one)
Borat
Trailer Park Boys movie _________________ Humans are intelligent, but that doesn't make them smart.
Baseketball
Hot Fuzz
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
School of Rock
Team America seems to be a standard so far...
also in agreement with-
Animal House
Zoolander
Happy Gilmore
