I really have on one that comes to mind immediately:

I saw absolutely nothing funny about that movie.

Really?  What about the Kevin Kline character, Otto?  "Don't call me stupid!" Or when he's caught burglarizing a house, he launches into a tirade against the British? How couldn't you find that funny?

"Otto, the central tenet of Buddhism is not 'every man for himself'"

I thought A Fish Called Wanda was great. Klein was hillarious.

If these three come in contact with each other, will they reach a critical mass and cause the universe collapse on itself from the vacuousness of it all?

To me, there is nothing so utterly horrifying as bad comedy.

Crappy scary movies can be funny though not scary.

Cheap, lame war movies are also funny.

Steven Segal waxing inelquent about the plight of the environment is hilarious.

But something that tries to be funny but fails is a tragic waste of my time.

For me, this terror manifests itself in the following forms:

Bachelor Party
Me, Myself and Irene
Anything associated with W Allen
Most comedy sequels

EDITED TO ADD:

I omitted Meet the Parents, perhaps as a defense mechanism.

"Dirty Work" was a big disappointment for me, as I think Norm MacDonald is the greatest Canadian who ever lived.
