10 Underappreciated Comedy Movies That Were Ahead of Their Time (Screenrant)

"Through laughter and satire, comedy movies can push boundaries and challenge conventional social norms, but that can also mean they won't fit into the current trends and may have to wait years to be appreciated. By shaking up the system, however, they break molds and formulas and introduce new and funny ways to look at the world, as well as launch the careers of comedians, actors, and filmmakers. While every other comedy movie was interested in parroting what was popular, these movies set out to do something different, whether it involved unfiltered teens, spoofing sci-fi, or making fun of the superhero genre. By innovating the structure of comedy movies and shaking up established tropes about what was considered funny, these films not only were ahead of their time but also influenced future contributions to comedy. Some of the most hilarious comedy movies today can trace their roots back to these trailblazing pioneers." - screenrant.com
