recommend a comedy

mahoganyIt's summer, and I feel like being entertained. I want to watch some really good comedies between now and September.
I'm a pretty easy to please person as far as my taste in comedy goes. I like witty, as well as juvenile humour. I like dark comedy, but I'm looking for laugh out loud funny this time around. Please, lay your best suggestions on me.
Stuff I love:
Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock, stand up routines - Yes, they're crude, but I don't mind crude humour as long as it's actually funny
Forgetting Sarah Marshall - Funny the first time around, but I couldn't laugh at it twice.
Muriel's Wedding - I think it was the same director as Strictly Ballroom, which also had some really good moments
The Full Monty - had me almost peeing from laughing so hard
A Fish Called Wanda - another laughing out loud classic
The Jerk and Bowfinger- yes, I have an incredibly juvenile sense of humour
Johnny Stecchino - a situational comedy. It was dull in spots, but had several really funny worthwhile moments
Swingers
Rushmore - this is probably one of my top fifteen favorite movies - comedy or otherwise
There's something about Mary
Most movies with Jim Carey
Exit Through the Gift Shop - I don't know if this is a hoax or not, and it doesn't matter - it was really funny
Stuff I loathe:
National Lampoon's Vacation movies
Animal House or the college frat/teenagers trying to lose their virginty a la American Pie genre
Most Adam Sandler movies
The Big Lebowski - I don't know why I don't like this one. People that know my taste think I should like it, but I just don't.
Superbad
John Candy movies
The Austin Powers sequels
South Park, The Simpsons, and Family Guy - yes, I know these aren't movies, but they are comedies, and they most definitely not up my alley
40 Year Old Virgin
The Heartbreak Kid - new version with Ben Stiller
Stuff that I didn't exactly hate, but didn't find particularly funny either:
Napoleon Dynamite
Wayne's World
The First Austin Powers movie
Knocked Up
Zoolander
The Royal Tennenbaums
Most Woody Allen comedies
