Best Comedy Movies On Paramount+

Jackass: The Movie (2002)

The stunt-based slapstick antics of Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, and the rest of the Jackass crew may feel like a relic in the age of social media when online pranksters are a dime-a-dozen, but the Jackass movies show why the band of daredevils that started it all are still the best. All of the Jackass movies are available to stream on Paramount+, including 2022's Jackass Forever, but 2002's Jackass: The Movie arguably remains the funniest of the bunch.

While Jackass is an acquired taste as far as comedy goes, the pioneering attitude of the cast in a time when chasing likes and views wasn't a thing — combined with the reactions of an unaware public untainted by overexposure to public antics in the age of smartphones — make Jackass: The Movie just as hilarious over two decades after it hit theaters.

While Jackass: The Movie wasn't critically acclaimed, it was incredibly profitable, grossing over $79million with a budget of $5million (via Box Office Mojo)

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

Widely considered one of John Hughes' best movies, Ferris Bueller's Day Off is the movie that turned Matthew Broderick into a star. He plays the eponymous high school slacker, who skips school with his best friend Cameron (Alan Ruck) and girlfriend Sloane (Mia Sara), and together they have one of the most memorable, adventurous days of their lives. Ferris Bueller's Day Off is one of the best movies about truancy ever thanks to its clever script and Broderick's charming performance.

One of the cinema's most charismatic teenagers

While a case can be made that Ferris Bueller is a terrible friend, he's one of the cinema's most charismatic teenagers, and he makes great points about the importance of people taking time for themselves. Paramount+ is even developing a spin-off movie called Sam & Victor's Day Off, centered on the valets who go joyriding in Cameron's father's car.

Matthew Broderick was nominated for a Golden Globe in 1987 for Best Actor thanks to his career-defining performance as Ferris Bueller.
