Balls Of Fury on the AudioShocker

Underrated Comedy Movies - Accepted, Balls of Fury, Balls Out, The Ten

Looking for more underrated comedies? See our new Son of the Top 9 Most Underrated Comedy Movies!!!

9. The Ten. I woulda put this at #10 on the list just because, but this is The Top 9 and thusly includes no #10. Whatever. This movie is not amazing, but decently funny, if only for the Jesus in Mexico vignette. [Buy it now: The Ten on Amazon]

8. Accepted. I never hear anyone talk about this flick, despite it's now famous cast. It's pretty damn funny. Again, not amazing, but still really good. [Buy it now: Accepted on Amazon]

7. Idiocracy. On the whole, a lot of movies on this list can outdo the comedy of Idiocracy. But for a might-as-well-have-been direct-to-DVD sleeper, this movie is totally awesome. The film is very quotable. I even own a "Camacho for President" t-shirt. [Buy it now: Idiocracy on Amazon]

6. Big Stan. I have a soft spot for Rob Schneider. This isn't his best, but it's very strong (not to mention Rob's directorial debut, I think). Conceptually, it's excellent and the execution - while not being laugh-out-loud all the time - is pretty damn funny. [Buy it now: Big Stan on Amazon]

5. The Big Bounce. How many people out there saw this one? Yeah, that's what I thought. Only the people that I showed it to. Well, it's great, okay? Like Big Stan, it's more quirky funny than piss yourself funny. It's got excellent actors in it and a strong plot twist. [Buy it now: The Big Bounce on Amazon]

4. Surviving Christmas. Why so high on this list? Why even on this list? Because Ben Affleck is constantly getting shit on, which caused this gem to be largely overlooked. I think this could make an argument for "most underrated," though not the BEST of the underrated flicks here. [Buy it now: Surviving Christmas on Amazon]

3. Yes Man. This may be the least underrated on the list. It sits this high because, while being generally enjoyed, it's not a huge hit. This movie is funny enough to be a major smash, yet most people I know stayed away from it. This probably has the widest appeal of all the films on this list. [Buy it now: Yes Man on Amazon]

2. Balls Out: Gary the Tennis Coach. Or Balls Out: The Gary Houseman Story. Whatever you want to call it, this is fucking great. I nearly peed myself at points watching this one. However, it probably has the most narrow appeal of all the films. You have to appreciate gross out comedy, situational ignorance, and cheap shocker jokes (no, not that shocker... "shocker" as in "shocking"). [Buy it now: Balls Out: Gary the Tennis Coach on Amazon]

1. Balls of Fury. This movie tends to polarize people. And by polarize, I mean that I love it and just about everyone else thinks it's not funny. EVERYONE ELSE IS WRONG. This is the real deal, a near Holy Grail of slapstick / gross out / poor taste comedy. You've got Walken, Lopez, Terry Crews, that main guy who's really funny, Maggie Q in her best role, and the French Stewart lookalike guy who voices Batman now. It's made by the guys from The State who also make Reno 911 [and The Ten]. It's got some serious comedy pedigree. And you should watch it. And love it. [Buy it now: Balls of Fury on Amazon]

Why the Top 9? Because 10 is too many and 9 is better. 3 X 3 = Awesome. Now that’s what I call math.
