Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) launched Will Ferrell's big-screen comedy career and gave us the unforgettable Ron Burgundy. The film became a cult classic and spawned a 2013 sequel.

Clerks (1994) is Kevin Smith's debut film, shot in black and white on a shoestring budget of around $27,000. Dante Hicks delivers that classic line repeatedly throughout the day he wasn't supposed to work. Not quite — that line belongs to Clerks (1994), director Kevin Smith's debut feature.

AWalk Hard: The Dewey Cox StoryBSchool of RockCAlmost FamousDThis Is Spinal Tap Correct! This Is Spinal Tap (1984) was directed by Rob Reiner and largely improvised by its cast. It essentially invented the mockumentary genre and remains one of the most quoted comedies ever made. Not quite — the answer is This Is Spinal Tap (1984).

Directed by Harold Ramis, the film has since become a philosophical touchstone about self-improvement. Not quite — the answer is Groundhog Day (1993).

AHot Shots!BFletchCAirplane!DTop Secret! Correct! Airplane! (1980) was directed by the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker team and is widely considered one of the funniest films ever made. It relentlessly parodies disaster films and packs in more jokes per minute than almost any other comedy. Not quite — the answer is Airplane! (1980). This classic spoof was written and directed by Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and David Zucker. It launched Leslie Nielsen's second career as a deadpan comedy icon. Continue Which film includes the line: 'We're on a mission from God,' spoken by two brothers reuniting a blues band to save an orphanage? AWayne's WorldBThe Blues BrothersCSpaceballsDAnimal House Correct! The Blues Brothers (1980) stars John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as Jake and Elwood Blues.

John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd play Jake and Elwood, who use their divine mission as justification for a spectacular trail of mayhem across Chicago. Continue A group of medieval English knights embark on a ridiculous quest, battling killer rabbits and taunting Frenchmen along the way. What is this film? AErik the VikingBMonty Python and the Holy GrailCTime BanditsDJabberwocky Correct! Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) was made on a tiny budget with coconut shells standing in for horses. It remains one of the most quoted comedies in history and launched the Monty Python troupe to international fame. Not quite — the answer is Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975). Made by the legendary British comedy group, the film parodies Arthurian legend with absurdist brilliance. Jabberwocky was also a Terry Gilliam medieval comedy, which makes it a sneaky wrong answer!
