Then, it decided to measure how many laughs take place per minute in each movie.

The film that had the highest laugh-a-minute score would be determined the overall winner.

According to Lovefilm, it only produced 1.2 laughs per minute.

Superbadchuckled its way up to number four on the study, with 1.9 laughs per minute.

Its a little surprising to see the 2007 comedy feature so high here.

Maybe McLovin has the Midas touch…

The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!shoots up to number three on the list.

Heres the thing: This is a film that doesnt stop the humor for a single second.

As soon as a joke ends, the next one begins.

Yet, at 2.3 laughs per minute, it didnt secure the top spot.

Creeping ahead ofThe Naked Guninto second place isThe Hangoverwith 2.4 laughs per minute.

That said, I didnt expect it to have as many laughs per minute as it did.

And the funniest movie of all time is…

Anyone who has watchedAirplane!knows exactly how funny it is based on the wacky premise alone.

Oh, the shenanigans!

The films cast is stacked with everyone from Lloyd Bridges and Leslie Nielsen to Julie Hagerty and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Ultimately, this resulted in a planned third film being scrapped entirely.
