British company LoveFilm, which deals with rental and online broadcasting of films and TV shows, conducted a survey among its subscribers in early autumn 2012. Its purpose was to find out which film of all the proposed comedies the audience considers the funniest and most successful. The survey participants were unanimous and quickly made their choice.
The winner in the "Funniest Film" nomination was the comedy filmed back in 1989 under the unpretentious title "Airplane". The study was carried out quite simply - the survey was a film viewing by those who decided to take part in the study in a special room. All the participants enjoyed the comedy, and special devices measured the number of laughter that sounded per minute of watching the comedy. So, for example, "Airplane" called at least 3 "ha-ha" and "hee-hee" in 1 minute. After that, the total number of the most fun places was calculated based on the reaction of visitors. And as a result, Airplane won.
The funniest movie is a parody of the disaster movies that were filmed earlier. Despite the seeming gloom of the plot, the picture was a great success during its release. She was able to raise $ 83 million and this more than recouped the cost of filming - $ 3.5 million.
Robert Hayes, Julie Hagerty, Peter Graves and world famous comedian Leslie Nilsson took part in the filming of Airplane. The plot is quite straightforward - a former military pilot finds himself on board the plane, where the entire crew was poisoned with food. As a result, there is no one to control the liner.
We chose the 10 most popular comedies among LoveFilm users for viewing and rating. The rest, who did not become the first, were distributed in the list by other positions. So, for example, in the second place of the funniest films was "Bachelor Party in Vegas" - it caused the audience about 2.4 chuckles per minute. Third place went to "Naked Pistol" - 2, 3 chuckles. "Superpeers" are on the 4th place with their index of 1, 9. "Borat", which was popular at one time, is only on the fifth place. He is followed by the comedy "TV Presenter". American Pie elicits about 1.5 chuckles from its target audience. And the eighth "Bachelorette Party in Vegas" and even less - 1, 3. The ninth and tenth places in the rating of the funniest films are the comedies "Zombie Named Sean" and "Brian's Life by Monty Python", respectively.
