12 Bob Hope & Bing CrosbyД¬hanging things up with the song-and-dance men of Hollywood, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby were sophistication embodied. It's a rarified air these two loonies inhabit, but thatвЂ™s precisely why we love them. No other duo on the list could shake the nation through satire ( The Interview ) or outright celebrity clowning ( This Is The End, Bound 3 ) in the span of a few months, let alone pull it off without an ounce of concernВ on their parts. Related: Director Tom Brady's Movies, Ranked Worst To BestДЄs one of the least conventional comedy pairings in recent memory, Rogen and Franco function at their best when tackling cultural taboos and tabloid fodder. With Rogen theВ worry wartВ and Franco theВ loose canon, the duo found favor with a grand audience as odd as they were. Though this match made in pothead paradise were always in each otherвЂ™s corner, things wouldnвЂ™t fully come to fruition until 2008вЂ™s Pineapple Express.

Ever since their tenure on the cult favorite TV series Freaks & Geeks, the duo have cultivated a reputation as the raucous party boys of Hollywood a banner thatвЂ™s coasted them through spirited comedy and viral videos alike. ThereвЂ™s just something different about Seth Rogen and James Franco. Dogma (1998), Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back (2001), and Clerks II (2006) all sport the duo front and center, and with talk of Clerks III buzzing about, thereвЂ™s no reason to think weвЂ™ve seen the last of Jay & Silent Bob. With a sexual appetite to fear and a penchant for profanity that makes Randal Graves (Jeff Anderson) look like a priest, the skinny smoker is just the right amount of crazy for SmithвЂ™s stylistic approach which is typically more fartsy than artsy. Jay, on the other hand, is as raunchy a dude as has ever been on the big screen. Silent Bob, pensive and cloaked in a black coat, is the techВ specialistВ whoВ occasionally dropsВ profound advice. SmithвЂ™s Askewniverse often orbits around what these two wackos do and how they do it, in the process fleshing them out far beyond what was originally intentioned. The brainchild of writer/director Smith, these loitering legends first appeared in cult classic Clerks (1994) before taking off on a whole other level of stardom with appearances in Mallrats (1996) and Chasing Amy (1997). Granted, their real names are Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith, but this entry wouldnвЂ™t be the same without identifying them by their onscreen alter egos. And until the Queens of Crazy decide to bestow fans with another collab, terrific cameos in Mean Girls (2004) and Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013) will have to suffice. Meh, whatever, fansВ rolled with it, as the duo's dynamic chemistry salvaged yet anotherВ mixed outing.

More recently, Sisters (2015) reunited the duo for another mess of lady-fueled laughter, aided by a plot that somehow enables these two to play siblings. It opened to mixed reviews, but viewersВ still adore this thing and it's easy to see why. The first of these outings, 2008вЂ™s Baby Mama, solidified the perfect Fey-Poehler formula: uppity business woman meets zany live-wire, and the closet goofball hiding beneath both of them.

Becoming friends in the early 90s, the witty duo became the first female co-anchors of the Weekend Update segment on Saturday Night Live, a success that dovetailed into now-famous skits and cult favorite films. 15 Tina Fey & Amy PoehlerДЇrom groundbreaking television to hilarious hosting gigs, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler ensure this club of comedy no longer belongs exclusively to the boys.

Here are Screen RantвЂ™s 15 Best Comedy Duos Of All Time. Paired with honorable mentions Cheech & Chong, it seems as though everything is in order to break down the ultimate in onscreen laughter. The rule for this list in a minimum of two feature length films, while a distinct вЂduoвЂ™ aspect must be present, leaving a team like Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi off even though they co-starred in films ( 1941, Neighbors ) besides The Blues Brothers (1980). For every inseparable pair like Abbott & Costello, thereвЂ™s a hilarious combo that come together when busy schedules allow it i.e.В modern pairings like Stiller & Wilson or Tatum & Hill.Д¬ontent fluctuates from crass to clever, but the chemistry between well-practiced pros knows no bounds. ThatвЂ™s the beauty of a great comedy team. The hilarity of contrasting personalities never gets old for the audience, who've found decades worth of greatness in strict partnerships or joyous combinations of well known performers. Dating back to the days of Laurel & Hardy, it's a formula thatвЂ™s thrived under every pretense imaginable from fat and skinny andВ cool and dorky to smart and dumb. With the outright insanity of Key & PeeleвЂ™s Keanu hitting theaters this week, it's clear the old practice of the comedy duo is alive and well.
