There are enough of bad comedies that fail to brand audiences laugh, but information technology takes a special movie that is funny past blow. These movies might pull out all the stops to be hilarious, only any laughter coming from the audience is not because of the quality of the jokes.

While a lot of work goes into making movies, it's hard non to discover some entertainment in a film that totally misses the mark. Whether it's a lame premise that never should have gotten a greenlight or actors embarrassing themselves with ridiculous gags, these less-than-stellar comedies at least did their chore in delivering laughs.

10 Zookeeper (2011)

After delivering the equally derided saga of Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Kevin James stepped into some other comedy with a razor-thin premise in Zookeeper. James plays a lovable yet overlooked zookeeper who realizes the animals in the zoo can actually talk.

It seems as though the movie started with the idea of "Paul Blart works in a zoo" and ended at that place. Watching these talking animals crack tired jokes is a scrap of a surreal experience, especially when they effort to add in the bizarrely dark storyline about an calumniating brute trainer.

nine Surviving Christmas (2004)

Though at that place are movies similar Information technology'south a Wonderful Life and Elf that fans love to enjoy every vacation flavour, at that place are also the occasional and so-bad-it'due south-good Christmas movies. Surviving Christmas fits that category with Ben Affleck playing a alone millionaire who pays a family unit to spend Christmas with him.

The movie nigh seems like information technology could be a great nighttime comedy, but information technology also seems like the filmmakers don't understand just how unsettling this story is. Affleck also goes then over-the-pinnacle with his obnoxious graphic symbol that it'due south hard not to have some fun with it.

viii Spice Globe (1997)

With the Spice Girls at the height of their fame in the belatedly 90s, it seemed like a perfect idea to make them the stars of their own movie. However, this obvious attempt to greenbacks in on the phenomenon decided to go for a surprisingly weird movie to allow the superstars to shine.

The movie jumps around from one strange moment to another, including alien encounters, haunted houses, and a bomb scare. Information technology is madcap energy accompanied by the limited acting skills of the stars that results in a terrifically disastrous ride.

seven Howard The Duck (1986)

While the MCU has used Howard the Duck in some minor appearances, they are likely terrified to bring the grapheme back in whatsoever meaningful style thank you to his disastrous big-screen debut. George Lucas produced this film that brought the talking infinite duck to life in a disturbing alive-action adventure.

Despite the concept of the lead character, Howard the Duck is a surprisingly dark movie with some moments that are probably unsettling for adult viewers too. The fact that the animatronic duck is terrifying is bad enough, simply giving him a sex activity scene is just wrong.

6 Finish! Or My Mom Will Shoot (1992)

There have been some hilarious buddy cop pairings in action comedies earlier, but Sylvester Stallone partnering with Golden Girls star Estelle Getty was mayhap a step too far. Stallone stars in Cease! Or My Mom Volition Shoot equally a tough cop whose life is interrupted by his overbearing female parent.

The concept paired with the horrible championship seems like information technology is poking fun at this Hollywood action-comedies and the whole movie sort of feels like that.

five Gigli (2003)

Though Ben Affleck has many great movies in his career, there are some noticeably bad ones and Gigli is perhaps the most notorious of them all. Coming at the height of the "Bennifer" sensation, all eyes were on the movie that brought Affleck and Jennifer Lopez together, and then when it ended up the mode information technology did, information technology became a punchline.

The moving picture feels like a reverse comedy with the comedic bits falling flat and feeling awkward while the moments that are not meant to be funny are hilarious.

four Disaster Movie (2008)

Later Scary Movie and so finer lampooned the slasher genre, countless rip-offs cropped upward that took aim at other popular genres. All the same, Disaster Movie is likely the worst of this truly awful franchise.

The movie doesn't even try to make a annotate on the clichés of the movies it is targeting. It simply references them and hopes the fact that audiences recognize the reference is funny plenty. Information technology is simply an extended segment of pointing out popular movies until the credits ringlet on this fascinating train wreck.

three Jack And Jill (2011)

Adam Sandler has shown his skills as an actor many times, merely he also has a reputation for making very lowbrow comedies with lazy bounds. While some of those movies are better than they are given credit for, Jack and Jill deserves all the judgment information technology gets.

Information technology is a 1-joke moving picture with Sandler playing both the male person and female siblings at the eye of the story. Hilariously, Sandler seems to requite no effort in the dual role, merely putting on a wig, a dress, and a silly voice. The movie is also notable for earning acting legend Al Pacino a Razzie Award in a role in which he raps near Dunkin Donuts.

2 Baby Geniuses (1999)

There is something nigh talking animals and babies that people think will make a funny film, even so information technology rarely works out that way. Baby Geniuses follows a group of super-intelligent babies that are held captive past evil scientists.

The child kidnapping plot in a silly family unit comedy is quite misguided, simply it might have been able to office as an animated movie. Instead, fans get to watch the hilariously bad dubbing of infant actors that is surprisingly unsettling.

one White Chicks (2004)

The Wayans brothers take made a lot of ridiculous comedies in their careers, simply White Chicks might rank as their lowest point. Information technology stars Marlon and Shawn Wayans as FBI agents who get undercover every bit rich Caucasian heiresses to scissure a instance.

For a motion-picture show with such an outrageous premise, White Chicks plays its humor surprisingly safe with no bite to its satire. Merely the funniest thing almost the movie is the horrendous makeup chore meant to make the Wayans brothers look similar white women but instead turn them into terrifying creations. The fact that anybody in the movie just acts as if these are passable disguises is hilarious.
