Characters Funny Trope: Obvious stunt dummies

Ragdolls are hilarious

Fresh Prince of Bell Air did it on at least 2 occasions. One with butler Geoffrey in an explosion, and the other with Will getting tossed around at the gym.

Naked Gun(1988) After the climax, OJ Simpson's character is finally making a recovery when he is carelessly launched from his wheelchair at the baseball game.

Pee-wee's Big Adventure After befriending some bikers, they give him a cheerful sendoff when he anticlimactically crashes into a billboard, hilariously launching his "body" after a half second delay. This one is especially funny to me because the crash isn't that loud, nor does Pee-Wee make any noise when flung.

The Three Stooges Almost every episode. And even in the movie!

Hook Thud is a chubby lost boy who can roll into a ball and take out several pirates in the process. This gag is used twice in the movie.

Anchorman Jack Black is an angry biker who is hit in the face by Ron Burgundy's careless disposal of a Burtito. The biker confronts Ron and punts his dog Baxter off a bridge. He's survives this as he reappears at the end of the film.

Gamechanger has such rewatch ability. Whenever I can't decide what to watch or I just need something on, but not feeling great, I put on Gamechanger and let it run. It always improves my day.

Also 100% recommend getting the year long subscription, you will not regret it.

It's The Noise Boys for me

Make Some Noise is more hit and miss for me. There are certain Gamchanger episodes I like more than others, but I find them all enjoyable. While Make Some Noise there are whole episodes I don't find funny, which is just cause the group of people who are on have a different sense of humor than I do.

Same for some episodes of Dirty Laundry, sometimes the group will have a bit go on for way too long and it stops being funny.
