Director Ram is back with his brand of intense cinema and this time he has based his tale around the relationship between a father and his daughter. Thanga Meengal has had its share of release issues but the buzz for the movie in the social media space was high, thanks to Ram’s proactive and impactful promotions.

Ram's first movie, Kattradhu Thamizh was noted for its mesmerizing music score by Yuvan Shankar Raja and its brilliant visuals. Thanga Meengal also retains the ‘Little Maestro’ and the cinematography has been handled by Arbhindu Saaraa.

In Thanga Meengal, Ram plays Kalyani, a self-respecting man who isn't always practical and wears his heart on his sleeve. His world revolves around his exuberant and sometimes over-enthusiastic 8 year old daughter Chellamma and he wishes to keep the child within her, alive at any cost. His rational family members aren't welcoming of his ways and philosophies. The rest of the movie is about the struggles that he has to undergo in order to keep his daughter's pristine happiness intact.

First things first, a big round of applause to Director Ram for his vision, unflinching passion on his subject, his writing and of course his performance. He has literally given life to the character that he has written. Though he comes across as over-dramatic and hyper-emotional at times, it suits the story.

Baby Sadhana plays Chellamma, a kid who lives in her own world and is a really slow learner at school. Her mind is brimming with fantasies and one such is about ‘Thanga Meengal’. The title has been justified very well and poetically in fact.

Chellamma has issues in concentrating on her lessons and is more interested in having enthusiastic and typically childlike conversations with her little friend Nithyashree. These conversations are a big highlight in the movie as they make the mood light. Baby Sanjana as Nithyashree is a darling.

Coming back to Sadhana, her's is an unbelievable performance and not for one moment, do we see any cinematic traces in her. Ram has extracted the best out of this prodigiously talented child. The scenes involving her conversations with Santa Claus and with her ‘soft doll’ illustrate the kind of innocence and purity that she exhibits.

Shelly plays the mother of Chellamma and she shines in the scenes when she releases all her pent-up frustrations. Looking at Shelly and Sadhana, they really do look like a mother-daughter pair. Great casting.

Padmapriya is really dignified as a teacher and lights up the few scenes that she appears in. Rohini and 'Poo' Ram as the lead protagonist's parents are realistic and natural. The younger sister character is another sweet addition to the proceedings and the brother-sister bonding has been brought out subtly.

Yuvan Shankar Raja has again delivered his best for Ram and you will have plenty of hair-raising moments as he weaves magic with his instruments, for the movie's BGM score. Yuvan continues to grow by leaps and bounds with every passing year. The legendary maestro Ilayaraja can indeed be proud of his son.

The much-loved Aanandha Yazhai is a visual delight while the other songs such as Nadhi Vellam and Yaarukkum Thozhan Illai are well-placed. The riotous ‘School’ song could have been placed earlier in the movie's narrative, one feels.

Thanga Meengal is a visual treat as well, with Arbhindu Saaraa capturing all the scenic locales in the movie well and particularly shining in those surreal night scenes. The DI, colouring and other post production work on the movie's visuals are splendid during these night scenes.

One must laud the passion of the producers too and Gautham Menon, being an ambitious filmmaker himself, must have understood what Ram was up to, and his contributions to the final output of Thanga Meengal mustn't be undervalued.

Verdict: Thanga Meengal brims with heart felt heavy emotions, has lifelike performances and is a brilliantly made film.

Say no to Amway (a fraud company) In tamil

தயவு செய்து முழுவதும் படிக்கவும்! பகிரவும்! ஒரு நல்ல மனிதரின் பொதுநல அக்கறை காரணமாய் இது உருவாகி உள்ளது. உங்கள் வெளிச்சப் பார்வையை இதை பகிர்ந்து வெளிபடுத்தவும்!! தயவு கூர்ந்து!!

"AMWAY " இந்திய மக்களுக்கு வேலைவாய்ப்பு தருவதாக உலா வரும் ஒரு அந்நிய நிறுவனம். இந்த நிறுவனத்தின் சில கொள்ளை உண்மைகளை கண்டறிய நான் எடுத்த சிறு முயற்சியின் விளைவுதான் இந்த பதிவு. இந்த நிறுவனத்தில் உள்ள நண்பர்கள் கண்ணில் பட்டவர்களை எல்லாம் பார்த்து சொல்லும் முதல் வார்த்தை "ஒரு பிஸ்னஸ் சொல்றேன் பன்றிங்களா?" இது தான் MLM நண்பர்களின் தாரக மந்திரம். ஒருவன் என்னதான் மாதம் முப்பதாயிரம் ரூபாய் சம்பாதிச்சாலும் உங்களுக்கு மேல் வருமானம் வருவதற்கு நான் ஒரு பிஸ்னஸ் சொல்லுறேன் பண்ணுங்க என்றால் மனுஷன் உடனே மண்டைய ஆட்டத்தான் செய்வான். அப்படி இருக்கும்போது வறுமையில் இருப்பவனையும், நடுத்தரகுடும்பத்தை சார்ந்தவனையும் பார்த்து இந்த வார்த்தையை சொன்னால் என்ன மாட்டேன் என்றா சொல்லுவான்?.

ஒருவனை இரண்டு வகையில் சுலபமாக மூளைச்சலவை செய்துவிடலாம் ஒன்று "இந்த தொழில் செய்தால் நீ செல்வந்தன் ஆகிவிடலாம் என்று, மற்றொன்று நீ இதை சாப்பிட்டால் உன் நோய் குணமாகிவிடும்" என்று . இவை இரண்டையும் சொல்லி சுலபமாக கொள்ளையடிக்கும் கொள்ளைக்கும்பல் இனத்தை சேர்ந்ததுதான் "AMWAY" இதுவரை தமிழ்நாட்டில் பல MLM நிறுவனங்கள் பலவிதமான வித்தைகளைக்காட்டி கொள்ளையடித்து ஓடிவிட்டனர். ஆனால் AMWAY நிறுவனம் கொஞ்சம் வித்தியாசமானது, சட்டப்பூர்வமான கொள்ளை கும்பல்.

ஒரு நாட்டில் இருந்து இன்னொரு நாட்டிற்கு வணீக ரீதியிலான பொருட்கள் விற்பனைக்கு வருகிறது என்றால் உள்ளூர் கம்பனிகளும், நிறுவனங்களும் பாதிக்காத வகையில்தான் முடிவு எடுக்கப்படும். காரணம் வேறு ஒரு நாட்டில் இருந்து பொருட்களை இறக்குமதி செய்தால் உள்ளூர் நிறுவனங்களுக்கு வெளிநாட்டு நிறுவனத்தால் நஷ்ட்டம் ஏற்பட்டுவிடும் என்பதால், இது நடக்காதவாறு கவனித்துக்கொள்வது அரசின் கடமை. இந்த கொள்கையைத்தான் வளர்ந்துவரும் நாடுகள் என்று சொல்லப்படும் அனைத்து நாடுகளும் பின்பற்றி வருகின்றன. ஆனால் நம் இந்தியா அரசு மட்டும் இதுப்போன்ற நிறுவனங்களுக்கு வளைந்து கொடுத்து வருகிறது. இப்படி அரசின் அனுமதியில் கொள்ளையடிக்கும், மக்களை ஏமாற்றி பணம் பறிக்கும் நிறுவனங்களில் ஒன்று தான் இந்த நிறுவனம். இந்த AMWAY நிறுவனம் விற்பனை செய்யும் அனைத்துப்பொருட்களும் FMCG(FAST MOVING CONSUMER GOODS) மற்றும் PHARMACEUTICAL பிரிவை சேர்ந்தவை.

FMCG பொருட்கள் என்றால் நாம் தினமும் பயன்படுத்தும் பொருட்கள் பிரிவை சேர்ந்தது(உதாரணம்: சோப்பு,ஷாம்பு போன்றவை). இது போன்ற பொருட்களை விற்பனை செய்ய இந்தியாவில் ஏற்கனவே பல இந்திய நிறுவனங்கள் போட்டிப்போட்டுக்கொண்டு வருகின்றன, பின்பு எதற்காக இந்த பொருட்களை விற்பனை செய்ய அந்நிய நிறுவனத்துக்கு அரசு அனுமதி கொடுக்க வேண்டும்?. அடுத்தது PHARMACEUTICAL பொருட்கள், ஒருவனுக்கு உடலில் ஏதாவது பாதிப்பு என்றால் அவன் உடனே மருத்துவரை ஆலோசிப்பதுதான் சிறந்தது என்று அரசே அறிவுறுத்தி வருகிறது அப்படி இருக்கும்போது இவர்கள் எப்படி மருந்து பொருட்களை நேரடியாக விற்பனை செய்யலாம்?.

பொருளாதார வீழ்ச்சியும் ஆம்வே நிறுவனமும்:
ஒரு நாட்டில் பொருளாதார வீழ்ச்சி(RECESSION) ஏற்பட்டால் பங்குசந்தையில் உள்ள அனைத்து நிறுவனங்களும் பாதிப்படையும்/பங்கு விலைகள் வீழ்ச்சி அடையும். இது போன்ற நேரங்களில் நாட்டின் பொருளாதாரம் வீழ்ச்சி அடைவதை சற்று தடுத்து நிறுத்துவது சில செக்ட்டார்கள் தான், அதனை டிபன்ஸ் செக்டார்(DEFENCE SECTOR) என்று சொல்வார்கள். அந்த DEFENCE SECTOR என்று சொல்லப்படும் செக்டர்களில் முக்கியமான இரண்டு செக்டார்கள் தான் இந்த FMCG மற்றும் PHARMACEUTICAL செக்டோர்கள். இந்த இரண்டு பிரிவுகளையும் உள்ளடக்கி விற்பனை செய்து வரும் நிறுவனம்தான் இந்த AMWAY நிறுவனமும். ஆனால் இது இந்திய நிறுவனம் இல்லை, இது ஒரு அயல்நாட்டு நிறுவனம். நம் நாட்டில் பொருளாதார வீழ்ச்சி ஏற்பட்டால் இந்த நிறுவனத்தால் நம் நாட்டிற்கு கடுகளவும் பயன் இல்லை. இப்படி இருக்கும்போது இந்த AMWAY நிறுவனம் DIRECT SALE என சொல்லப்படும் நேரடி விற்பனையில் வேறு ஈடுப்பட்டு வருகிறது. இதனால் DEFENCE SECTOR என சொல்லப்படும் இந்திய நிறுவனங்களுக்கு பதிப்பு கண்டிப்பாக இருக்கும், இப்படிப்பட்ட சூழ்நிலையில் எதிர்க்காலத்தில் நமது நாட்டில் பொருளாதார வீழ்ச்சி ஏற்பட்டால் பாதிப்பு முன்பை விட அதிகமாகவே இருக்கும். இதையெல்லாம் கருத்தில் கொள்ளாமல் நமது பாரத பிரதமர் இந்த AMWAY நிறுவனத்துக்கு அனுமதி கொடுத்து வருகிறார் என்றால் நீங்களே யோசித்துப்பாருங்கள் மன்மோகன் சிங்கின் திறமையை.
இதனால் நமக்கு என்ன பாதிப்பு என நீங்கள் நினைத்து விட முடியாது, கண்டிப்பாக பாதிப்பு உண்டு. நாட்டில் பொருளாதார வீழ்ச்சி ஏற்பட்டால் வேலை இழப்பால் பாதிக்கப்படப்போவது நாம்தான் மன்மோஹன்சிங் இல்லை. இவர் எப்படியும் அரசு வருவாயில் காலத்தை ஓட்டிவிடுவார். இப்போதாவது இந்திய குடிமகனுக்கு இருக்கும் கடமையை உணர்ந்து செயல்படுங்கள்.

இதுவரை நான் எழுதியதெல்லாம் நாட்டிற்கு பொருளாதார ரீதியில் எந்த ஒரு பாதிப்பும் வந்து விடக்கூடாது என்ற எண்ணத்தில் தான். ஆனால் இதையெல்லாம் பொருட்படுத்தாமல் எவன் எப்படி போனால் எனக்கென்ன எனக்கு பணம் வந்தால் போதும் என்று ஒருசிலர் இருப்பார்கள், இதோ உங்களுக்காகவே ஒரு சிறிய விளக்கம். நீங்கள் AMWAY நிறுவனத்தில் சம்பாதிப்பதை விட இழப்பதுதான் அதிகம் என்பதற்கு.

ஏமாற்றும் வழிகள்:

இந்த நிறுவனத்தில் யாரும் பிடித்துபோய் சேருவது இல்லை, நண்பனோ அல்லது உறவினரோ ஒரு பிசினஸ் பண்ணலாம் என்று சொல்லி ஒரு குறிப்பிட்ட இடத்துக்கோ அல்லது வீட்டிற்கோ அழைத்து செல்வார்கள். அங்கு அவர்களால் முடிந்தளவுக்கு மூளைச்சலவை செய்யப்படும். உதாரணத்துக்கு ஒரு குறுப்பிட்ட நபரை காண்பித்து இவர் மாதம் ஒருலட்சம்/ஐம்பதாயிரம் ரூபாய் ஆம்வே நிறுவனத்தால் சம்பாதிக்கிறார் என்று ஆசை வார்த்தையை கட்டவில்ப்பார்கள். இந்த வார்த்தையால்தான் பலர் நமது வறுமைக்கு ஒரு விடிவு வந்துவிடாதா என்று சேர்ந்து விடுகின்றனர்.

நமது இந்திய நிறுவனங்கள் ஒரு பொருளை தயாரிக்க செலவிடும் விற்பனை செலவில் இருந்து 30 % தான் செலவு செய்கின்றன, ஆனால் அது பயனாளர் கைக்கு வரும்போது மொத்த விற்பனை விலைக்கு வருகிறது, இதனால் நஷ்டம் அடைவது பயனாளர்தான். பயனாளர் மூலம் கடைக்காரர்,விநியோகஸ்த்தர்,விளம்பரதாரர் என பலர் லாபம் பெறுகின்றனர் என்று சொல்லிதான் இந்த நிறுவனத்தின் ஊழியர்கள் மக்களை ஏமாற்றுகின்றனர். இவர்கள் சொல்வது உண்மைதான், மூன்று ரூபாய் பொருட்செலவில் தயாரிக்கும் பொருளை நாம் பத்துரூபாய்க்கு வாங்குவது நிஜம்தான், இந்த வார்த்தைகளை கேட்டு பலர் ஏமார்ந்து விடுகின்றனர். நமது இந்திய நிறுவனத்துடன் ஆம்வே நிறுவனத்தின் பொருட்களின் விலையை ஒப்பிட்டு பார்த்தால் இந்திய நிறுவனங்களின் பொருட்கள்தான் மிகவும் விலை குறைவாக உள்ளது.
►இந்திய நிறுவனத்தின் தரமான சோப் 15 - 20 ரூபாய்(கடைக்காரர், விநியோகஸ்த்தர், விளம்பரதாரர், நிறுவன லாபம் எல்லாம் உட்பட).
►ஆனால் ஆம்வே நிறுவனத்தில் ஒரு சோப்பின் விலை 37 ரூபாய்(விளம்பரதாரர்,விநியோகஸ்த்தர், கடைக்காரர் இவர்கள் யாருக்கும் லாபம் கொடுக்காமலே)

மேலும் ஆம்வே நிறுவன பொருட்களின் விலைகள்.
TOOTHBRUSH(1) - 19 ரூபாய்
HAIR OIL(500 ML) - 95 ரூபாய்
SHAVING CREAM(70G) - 86 ரூபாய்
OLIVE OIL (1 LITRE) -400 ரூபாய்
FACE WASH -229 ரூபாய்
PROTIEN POWDER(1KG) - 2929 ரூபாய்
மேலே இருக்கும் விலை பட்டியல் உதாரணம் மட்டும்தான் கொஞ்சம் யோசித்துப்பாருங்கள் இந்த விலை நமது இந்திய நிறுவனத்தின் விலையை விட குறைவா?. இத்தனைக்கும் இவர்கள் விளம்பர நிறுவனங்கள் , விநியோகச்த்தர்கள், கடைக்காரர் என பலத்தரப்பட்டவர்களின் தொழில்களுக்கு நஷ்ட்டம் விளைவித்து மக்களுக்கு குறைந்த விலைக்கு(நேரடி விற்பனை(DIRECT SALE)) விற்பதாக சொல்லி விற்று வருகின்றனர்.

நேரடி விற்பனை(DIRECT SALE) என்றால் ஒருபொருளின் தயாரிப்பு செலவில் நிறுவனத்தில் லாபம் மட்டுமே வைத்து குறைந்த விலைக்கு விற்பதுதான் DIRECT SALE. ஆனால் ஆம்வே நிறுவனம் நேரடி விற்பனை செய்வதாக தம்பட்டம் அடித்துக்கொண்டு மற்ற இந்திய நிறுவனங்களை விட அதிக விலைக்கு விற்று வருகின்றனர். இந்திய நிறுவனங்கள் ஒரு டூத்பிரஷ் தயாரிக்க செய்யும் செலவு 4 ரூபாய்தான் ஆகிறது ஆனால் விற்பனை செய்யும்போது 15 ரூபாய்க்கு விற்பதாக ஆம்வே நிறுவனம்(ஊழியர்கள்) நமது இந்திய நிறுவனம் மீது குற்றம் சொல்கிறது. ஆனால் இவர்கள் விற்பனை செய்யும் டூத்பிரஷ்ஷின் விலையோ 19 ரூபாய் அப்படியென்றால் இவர்களுக்கு தயாரிக்க ஆகும் செலவே 15 ரூபாயா?

► ஆம்வே நிறுவனத்தில் ஒருவர் இணைய வேண்டும் என்றால் 995 ரூபாய் கட்ட வேண்டும். (எந்த ஒரு செலவும் இல்லாமல் ஆம்வே நிறுவனத்துக்கு 995 ரூபாய் லாபம்)
►பின்பு தனக்கு கீழே இரண்டு நபர்களை சேர்த்து விட வேண்டும்.
(எந்த ஒரு செலவும் இல்லாமல் நிறுவனத்துக்கு 1990 ரூபாய் லாபம், ஆக மொத்தம் உங்களால் ஆம்வே நிறுவனத்துக்கு 2985 ரூபாய் லாபம். இது நீங்கள் அந்த நிறுவனத்தில் இணையும்போது மட்டும்தான்)
► இந்த நிறுவனத்தில் நீங்கள் சம்பாதிக்க வேண்டும் என்றால் மாதம் குறைந்தது 6000 முதல் 6200(100 pv) ரூபாய்க்கு பொருட்கள் வாங்க வேண்டும். ஒரு நிறுவனம் தனது பொருட்களை தயாரிக்க ஆகும் செலவு பொருட்களின் விற்பனை செலவில் 30 % தான். சரி ஆம்வே நிறுவனத்துக்கு 50 % என்று வைத்தால் கூட 3000 ரூபாய் லாபம் வருகிறது.
இப்போது கொள்ளை கும்பலின் கோள்ளை கணக்கை பாருங்கள்:
►நீங்கள் ஆம்வே நிறுவனத்தில் இணையும்போது கட்டிய தொகை 995 ரூபாய்.
►நீங்கள் பொருட்கள் வாங்கிய விலையில் கம்பனி லாபம் 3000 ரூபாய்(6000-3000).இது 50 % தான் லாபம், கூடலாம் .
►ஆக மொத்தம் நீங்கள் இந்த நிறுவனத்தில் இணையும் போதே உங்கள் பக்க இழப்பு 3995 ரூபாய்.
இந்த நிறுவனத்தில் இணைபவர்கள் எவனோ ஒருவன் இந்த நிறுவனத்தில் ஒருலட்ச்சம் ரூபாய் சம்பாதித்து விட்டான் நாம் ஏன் சம்பாதிக்க முடியாது என்று எண்ணித்தான் இணைகின்றனர் அவர்களுக்காக ஒரு சிரிய விளக்கம்.
►ஒருவன் ஒருலட்ச்ச்ம் ரூபாய் இந்த நிறுவனத்தில் சம்பாதித்தான் என்றால் இவன் தனக்கு கீழே குறைந்தது 100 நபர்களையாவது இணைத்திருப்பான்.(ஒரு நபர் இணையும்போது இந்த நிறுவனத்தில் கட்ட வேண்டிய தொகை 995 ரூபாய்)
100 x 995 = 99500 ரூபாய்
இந்த ஒருவன் மூலம் நிறுவனம் அடைந்த லாபம் மட்டும் 99500 ரூபாய். ஆனால் இதில் அவனுக்கு எந்த ஒரு லாபமும் கிடையாது. இவனுக்கு கீழே இருக்கும் ஒவ்வொருவரும் மாதம் 6000 ரூபாய்க்கு பொருட்கள் வாங்க வேண்டும் இதை 100 PV என்று சொல்வார்கள்.
3000 x 100 = 300000 ரூபாய்
அப்படிபார்த்தால் இவன் ஒருவன் மூலம் ஆம்வே நிறுவனத்துக்கு வந்த லாபம் மட்டும் 399500 ரூபாய். நிறுவனத்துக்கு ஒருமாத லாபம் 300000 ரூபாய் (மூன்று லட்சம்).
இவ்வளவு கொள்ளைகளும் போதாதென்று மேலும் ஒரு கொள்ளையாய் கணக்கை புதுப்பித்தல் ( ACCOUNT RENEWABLE) சார்ஜ் வேறு 480 ரூபாய் ஆண்டொன்றுக்கு.

இன்னொரு கொள்ளை விதிமுறை பற்றி சொல்லவேண்டும் என்றால் இந்த நிறுவனத்தில் இணைந்தால் வாங்கும் பொருட்களுக்கெல்லாம் கமிஷன் கொடுக்க மாட்டார்கள் அதிலும் ஒரு கொள்ளை விதிமுறையை வகுத்துள்ளனர். ஒருவன் இந்தநிருவனத்தில் இணைந்திருக்கிறான் என்றால் மாதம் 6000 ரூபாய்க்கு பொருட்களை கண்டிப்பாக வாங்கியே தீர வேண்டும் இல்லையென்றால் இவனுக்கு கீழே எவ்வளவு பொருட்கள் விற்பனை ஆனாலும் இவனுக்கு கமிஷன் கிடையாது. அதேபோல் இவர்கம் PV என்னும் POINT VALUE வேறு கடைப்பிடிக்கிறார்கள் தனக்கு கீழே 300 அல்லது 900 PV , அதற்கு மேல் பொருட்கள் விற்பனை செய்தால் தான் சம்பாதிக்க முடியும்.
300 PV = 16,500 ரூபாய் (விற்பனை விலையில் சலுகை போக)
900 PV = 49,500 ரூபாய் (விற்பனை விலையில் சலுகை போக)
இந்த PV விஷயத்தில் பல தில்லுமுல்லு வேலைகள் உள்ளது. இந்த நிறுவனத்தில் இணைந்தவர்கள் வீட்டில் உட்க்கார்ந்து கணக்கு போட்டு பாருங்கள் விளங்கும்.

லட்சங்களையும், கோடிகளையும் சம்பாதிக்கலாம் என்று ஆசை வார்த்தையை காட்டி இவர்கள் கோடி கோடியாய் மக்கள் பணத்தை கொள்ளையடித்து வருகின்றனர். ஆனால் இதெல்லாம் அறியாத மக்கள் தனது பணத்தை இது போன்ற நிறுவனங்களில் தொடர்ந்து இழந்துகொண்டேதான் வருகின்றனர். மாதம் பத்தாயிரம் ரூபாய் சம்பாதித்தவன்(கவுரவமாய்) கூட இந்த நிறுவனத்தில் இனைந்து தனது உறவினர்கள் நண்பர்கள் வீட்டில் நாயாய் பேயாய் அழைந்து ஆம்வே பொருட்களை விற்பனை செய்து துளியளவு கூட லாபம் ஈட்ட முடியாமல் இருப்பதே நிஜம்.

இந்த நிறுவனத்தில் நான் பார்த்த மிகப்பெரிய கொடுமை ஒரு வாலிபன் தனது வேலையை ராஜினாமா செய்துவிட்டு இந்த நிறுவனத்தில் நாயாய் பேயாய் அழைந்து முழு நேரமாக தனது பொருட்களை விற்பனை செய்து, ஆட்களை சேர்த்து விட்டு வருவதுதான் . இவன் தனது பழைய நிறுவனத்தில் வாங்கிய மாத சம்பளம் 8000 ரூபாய், ஆனால் இந்த ஆம்வே நிறுவனத்தில் இவன் வாங்கிய சம்பளம் பாதி கூட இல்லை இதுவும் இவன் தான் ஏமார்ந்து வருவதை உணரும் வரைதான்.

இந்த பதிவை படிக்கும் ஒவ்வொரு வலைப்பதிவருக்கும் ஒரு சிறு வேண்டுகோள்:

தயவு செய்து இந்த பதிவை உங்கள் நண்பருக்கோ அல்லது உறவினருக்கோ இந்த பதிவில் உள்ள எழுத்துக்கள் சென்றடைய உதவுங்கள். இதில் உள்ள கருத்துக்களை எடுத்து சொல்லுங்கள்.
நான் ஒருத்தனிடம் ஏமாந்தேன் நீ என்னிடம் ஏமாறு என்பதே மல்டி லெவல் மார்கெட்டிங் தாரக மந்திரம்..

Om Namah Shivaya Mantra Japa

Om Namah Shivaya is an ancient mantra used to awaken higher states of consciousness. The literal translation of these Sanskrit words means "I Bow To Shiva".
The following notes are offered as suggestions to help you get the most out of japa, mantra repetition. They are extracted from teaching sessions given by Mark Griffin.
The value of your mantra repetition is proportionate to the attention you give to it as you do it. If you engage in mindless dry repetition, you will see far less benefit from this practice than its full potential holds. On the other hand, if you give rise to the internal feeling of bodhicitta, which is the yearning for enlightenment and Truth, and tune in to the silence of the Inner Self as you say the mantra, you will obtain tremendous results from doing japa. Your practice will be enhanced if you are also aware of the placement and color of each syllable as you recite them. It is not important how fast or slow you repeat the mantra. It is intention that makes all the difference.
The mantra Om Namah Shivaya can be analyzed according to the elements, chakras and colors:
OM arises at the sixth chakra, and is associated with the mind. The mind has no element. It is essentially a formless vortex of light.
NA arises at the root chakra at the base of the spine and is associated with the element of Earth and is yellow in color.
MA arises at the second chakra and is associated with the element of water and is green in color.
SHI arises at the third chakra at the navel and is associated with the element of fire and is red in color.
VA arises at the fourth chakra at the heart and is associated with the element of air and is white in color.
YA arises at the fifth chakra at the throat and is associated with the element of ether and is blue in color.

As you repeat the mantra, be aware of the placement of the syllables. Focus on NA at the root, MA at the second seat, SHI at the navel, VA at the heart and YA at the throat.
At the same time, be aware of their corresponding colors: yellow, green, red, white, and blue. The colors are not arbitrary, randomly selected or based on a feeling. Each element has as its basis a subtle atom. When you meditate very subtly, they appear to you as a scintillating atom. The atom sparkles with a shining yellow light at the root chakra. At the second chakra, you can see a brilliant green atom. At the third chakra, the fire element, the atom is a bright fire-engine orange-red. At the heart it is white like a sparkling star. At the throat the atom is blue. Remember, the elements have an intrinsic color – it's not something invented.
As you do more japa, your attention will become more encompassing. You have to learn to think about many things at once: the sound of the vibration, the color and reaching within to feel for the heart-mind space of the bodhicitta – the essence of enlightenment already present within you. With practice, you'll be able to learn to do it with one sweep of attention.
It’s like speed reading, where you learn to see the whole paragraph at once. It’s an exercise or skill that you develop. There is a muscle of simultaneous consciousness in the mind. Don’t be concerned by the effort it takes; just keep practicing and you will make steady progress. This is how to get the most from your japa: at the same time you are repeating the mantra you also strive to feel the intuitive, multi-layered, universal side of things. Experiment with it and enjoy the discovery.
There is a value to the constant repetition of mantra yoga because you can get in the flow of it and start taking intuitive leaps. It's not something static that you bring a work ethic to because you get x-amount of credit for each mantra. The value comes from connecting the mantra to the Self. The more you can do that, the more powerful each mantra will be.
Once you get that flow of attention hooked up, it's like you’re sitting on top of a fountain of energy and bliss that will never quit. Then the mantra does itself. You don’t do the mantra – the mantra does you.
One of the things that happens when you do a practice like this is that you’re resonating each of the elements and saturating them with the light of pure consciousness That in turn accelerates the purification of elements, which speeds up spiritual unfoldment. When you get all the chakras heated up and vibrating into each other through the attention you place in your mantra repetition, you get a thousand-fold response: once you get the mantra really cooking inside the system, what would have taken you a thousand days to do, you can do in one repetition of the mantra.
This kind of practice should be a constant companion because you are reaching with your attention and your higher will and blending that with the divine will. You are threading the vibration of the Self down into the more densely populated bodies of the physical body, the subtle physical body and the causal body, and infusing them with the vibration of pure consciousness. In that way, you are displacing the karmic content of the elements, so this becomes a very profound practice of clearing obstacles. Each repetition of the mantra is like a vehicle that is carrying one bucket load of the light of the Self and placing it in the elemental seat in each chakra.
It may seem like this would take a long time, but after a while that light of the Self begins to really build up, and soon you have an enormous amount of pure consciousness vibrating in each chakra.
It is a tremendously purifying energy. Once the chakras are completely purified, the true seats of the elements are revealed as nectars at the crown of the head. They exist in ecstatic equilibrium and become limitless.
Many people find it harder to connect with the three lower chakras. Mark explains about that in this way:

"The bottom three chakras are harder to focus on, and that is because your connection to them is subconscious and unconscious. They are more like the power turbines of the chakra system. All of the chakras have enormous energy but the lower chakras are like raw power, while the higher three chakras vibrate at the frequency of the ecstatic equilibrium.
That’s another reason why this practice of japa is valuable. It brings the vibration of the highest light into the root chakra, at the level of earth, which is what you’re really after. Instead of having all of these separate energies, they all become infused and integrated with the frequency of the Self. If you do each repetition of the mantra with feeling, giving rise to love and bodhicitta, the love of enlightenment, you'll be able to draw down the light of the Self, the infinite consciousness, and flood each of the chakras and the elements."

Note: The beads shown in the japa app are from the Rudraksha plant. Rudra is another name for Shiva, and aksha means eye. The rudraksha are known as the tears of Shiva, and are traditionally used in 108 bead malas or necklaces used for japa. The rudraksha beads have five faces, and Shiva is noted for five essential acts. 108 beads are shown before the Om Bead is reached, because 108 is a sacred number.

Best 100 comedy movies ever

About

Forget what the American Film Institute or your film professors have to say. They're just boring old people! We asked YOU, people reading CollegeHumor, to vote on your favorite comedies and we have compiled the definitive list of The 100 Best Comedies of All Time (according to people who actually watch comedies, and not the aforementioned old people). Check out the results below!

The official voting period has ended. See the results below.

Vote Results

• 100.
  
  The Wedding Singer
  Just beating the likes of Beetlejuice and This Is Spinal Tap to the top 100, The Wedding Singer is the first of many representations for Adam Sandler in this comedy list, hopefully not entirely due to whatever the hell his hair was doing back then.
  
• 99.
  
  American Pie 2
  It's hard to remember a time when an American Pie sequel wasn't a desperately amateur, straight-to-DVD affair. Part 2 retained much of its predecessor's former glory, if not as much of its shameless raunch or actual pie-banging. Shame.
  
• 98.
  
  Revenge of the Nerds
  Number 98?! What's the matter, nerds? Can't click fast enough with your weak, pasty arms? Well too bad! You haven't earned the right for Revenge of the Nerds to be called an essential college movie, nor an inspirational tale for nerds everywhere, nor a career- making movie for Robert Carradine, mostly because that last one isn't true. Damn nerds.
  
• 
  
• 97.
  
  Jackass: Number Two
  Jackass 2 proved that just because something is repetitive and formulaic, doesn't mean it can't be great, as long as strict rules are adhered to. Rules such as "more poop" and "more snakes," for example.
  
• 96.
  
  Dazed and Confused
  Quentin Tarantino reckons Dazed and Confused is one of the greatest movies of all time and Led Zeppelin refused to be associated with the movie. So whatever you think of the movie, you're in excellent company! Perhaps the most well-known stoner comedy ever, it continues to inspire High School kids everywhere to make terrible decisions and upload them to YouTube today.
  
• 95.
  
  Mr. Deeds
  Adam Sandler reversed his established formula in Mr. Deeds by playing a nice guy falling on unexpected fortune. And he played it just as well as his usual irresponsible jerk characters. Although, it has to be said, he's still at his most entertaining when terrorizing the streets of New York with John McEnroe, but who isn't?
  
• 
  
• 94.
  
  Coming to America
  Although being known for it's culturally sensitive storyline and Oscar-nominated makeup, it's also the first film in which Eddie Murphy played multiple characters. Although things went awry eventually, it was an original and interesting tactic which gave the movie an extra level.
  
• 93.
  
  Black Sheep
  It's hard to watch Black Sheep without noticing the similarities between it and it's predecessor, Tommy Boy. Here's the thing, Tommy Boy is so funny that I'm glad there's a carbon copy of it. I'd watch ten Chris Farley/David Spade movies if they were all this good. The bottom line is that Chris Farley was one of the funniest comedic actors of all time. He died too early and we have to take what we can get. Black Sheep may not have re-invented the wheel, but it didn't break the wheel either. And it added Garey Busey to it.
  
• 92.
  
  The Jerk
  The Jerk achieved success immediately upon opening, and has kept that up ever since. It is held in high regard by just about anyone ever. Steve Martin's first ever starring role, and it couldn't have been a more fitting way to introduce him as the wacky personality he remains today. Have you read his art book? What a hoot!
  
• 
  
• 91.
  
  Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
  The movie that made people rethink their mocking of Michael Cera because, as evidenced, he could kick their ass now. Edgar Wright's insane direction gave the movie a pace unlike any other, combining hundreds of jokes with six extended, impressive fight sequences and a load of awesome special effects all within two hours of film. Phew.
  
• 90.
  
  Little Miss Sunshine
  Little Miss Sunshine delivered the age-old message to everyone everywhere that "it's not the winning, it's the taking part." And for that, it made it into the top 100 movies! It beat Scott Pilgrim and hundreds of others!
  
• 89.
  
  Clerks II
  While a somewhat toned-down offering after the original Clerks, any revisit to Quick Stop was always going to be satisfying. Kevin Smith has reportedly abandoned his View Askewniverse once and for all now, and Clerks II is a more than fitting swan song.
  
• 
  
• 88.
  
  Waiting
  Almost everyone ever can relate to how awful it is being a waiter, which is assumedly why Waiting struck such a chord and became such a surprise hit, that or the discovery of the "penis showing game." Either of those two things.
  
• 87.
  
  Beverly Hills Cop
  There's a reason people respect Eddie Murphy. He used to be great. That reputation has been buried in recent years by Norbit, Dr. Dolittle, Dr. Dolittle 2, both Nutty Professors, Pluto Nash and the entire Shrek franchise. Those movies don't change the past. In the past Eddie Murphy played his part in Beverly Hills Cop perfectly with comedic flair and astute anger. Check it out and poor out a drink in memory of a funny man that used to do non-children's movies.
  
• 86.
  
  Dude, Where's My Car?
  The ending split many, but what everyone can agree on is the stoneriffic quality that Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott brought to a simple, goldmine-in-disguise premise: What the hell happened last night?
  
• 
  
• 85.
  
  Me, Myself and Irene
  Violent multiple personality disorders aren't usually inspirations for slapstick comedy but the Farrelly brothers' "caution to the wind" approach and Jim Carrey's uncontrollable likeability meant that any notions of insensitivity were forgotten amongst the guilty laughter.
  
• 84.
  
  Road Trip
  Human folly happens. Sometimes you forget your wallet, or say something you don't mean, and sometimes you record yourself cheating on your girlfriend then accidentally mail the footage to her, forcing you to drive across the country in order to steal back the tape, resulting in japes of the highest caliber. Ah, college.
  
• 83.
  
  Christmas Vacation
  Now a holiday mainstay, Christmas Vacation was John Hughes' last writing effort for the National Lampoon series, and he went out with a bang here, thanks to Chevy Chase's silliest and most heartfelt performance of the franchise.
  
• 
  
• 82.
  
  Half Baked
  A janitor stoner comedy starring Dave Chapelle involving the murder of a diabetic horse and a celebrity ghost beating someone up with a guita-WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS AND NOT WATCHING THIS MOVIE?
  
• 81.
  
  Scary Movie
  Since the "Something" Movie idea was run well and truly into the ground, it's hard to remember that things started so promisingly in Scary Movie which was a smart, aware parody of nature's inherently dumbest genre (just call the police already!), horror.
  
• 80.
  
  Dogma
  Uh-oh. A Kevin Smith movie about religion which is... shockingly not as offensive as other Kevin Smith films? What's going on here? Dogma managed to avoid too much controversy on its release thanks to well thought-out exaggerations and the inclusion of Alanis Morisette, who no-one can ever be angry at (except maybe Dave Coulier).
  
• 
  
• 79.
  
  Blades of Glory
  As wonderful as it was to see the underrated Jon Heder become a leading man once again, it had some competition in seeing Will Arnett and Amy Poehler as the despicable, incestuous Van Waldenbergs, or that hilarious running joke where ice skating is taken seriously as a sport.
  
• 78.
  
  Van Wilder
  "College Pranks" movies have been done to death, so it's a good thing Van Wilder starred someone as naturally charming and funny as Ryan Reynolds, and someone as professionally implosive as Tara Reid to heighten the re-watch value now that she's all but officially dead.
  
• 77.
  
  The Naked Gun 2 1/2
  The appearance of OJ Simpson in the Naked Gun movies dates them horribly, but the endless onslaught of visual gags and light puns makes this another of Zucker's timeless classics which can survive any number of murderers.
  
• 
  
• 76.
  
  Rush Hour
  Remember when Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker were really popular? This was then! Whatever went wrong, it wasn't in the action-comedy Rush Hour which delivered on its "action" as much as it did its "comedy," something seen all too rarely.
  
• 75.
  
  Home Alone
  Never has so much innocent joy been invested into violent, sociopathic behavior. Home Alone busied itself with the creative, repetitive dispatch of its two villains at the hands of a child, while also reminding us of the importance of family and love during the holidays. But it's that first part everyone remembers and doesn't fast-forward through.
  
• 74.
  
  Accepted
  Even though its main character is named "Bartleby," Accepted is a deceptively serious movie about education and governmental procedure. BORING. It's pretty much Camp Nowhere for college. It also has skateboarding and Blake Lively in a bikini at one point. Woo!
  
• 
  
• 73.
  
  Planes, Trains & Automobiles
  The ultimate road-trip buddy movie that established John Hughes as more than just a teen comedy director and Steve Martin as more than just a *shudder* comedian. John Candy stole the show, though, in an equal parts amusing and heartbreaking performance in the face of whatever bizarre, gleeful disasters Hughes could imagine.
  
• 72.
  
  History of the World: Part I
  In a delightfully overblown movie told in sketches, Mel Brooks reaches for his full potential, taking on four different periods from history and an apparent cast of thousands to tell his somewhat exaggerated version of what went down.
  
• 71.
  
  Hot Tub Time Machine
  Everyone was just about sold on this movie as soon as "time travel" and "Crispin Glover" were mentioned, but when that became "time travel TO THE 80s" and "ONE ARMED Crispin Glover," Hot Tub TIme Machine became a movie to see for more than just its amusingly direct title.
  
• 
  
• 70.
  
  Young Frankenstein
  A lovingly-detailed and accurate homage to the films before it, Brooks' Young Frankenstein established itself as not only a wonderful Frankenstein parody movie, but actually a wonderful Frankenstein movie in itself.
  
• 69.
  
  Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
  In what has to go down in history as the most entertaining dramatization of writing a history paper EVER, a not-yet-sad Keanu Reeves and not-yet-irrelevant Alex Winter teamed up to teach the world the most important lessons: 1. Be excellent to each other. 2. Sand Dimas High School football rules!
  
• 68.
  
  Jackass: The Movie
  Why have a plot when you can have 90 minutes of a Jackass episode? Exactly. Those guys know what we like and didn't attempt to make a "movie," but instead took their new-found big-budget abilities and amped-up their great/horrible stunts to better suit the added detail and disgust that a big screen can provide.
  
• 
  
• 67.
  
  Kick-Ass
  The best superhero movie of 2010 was, in fact a superhero spoof movie. Whether that says more about the state of comic book adaptations or about Matthew Vaughn's deceptively intense movie is unclear. What is clear is that this world needs more pot smoking, wetsuit-wearing heroes.
  
• 66.
  
  Euro Trip
  Filled with inaccurate and offensive stereotypes (the best kind), Euro Trip is mindless comedy at its absolute finest. That is until hints start being dropped about the real point of the movie, and that maybe it's satirizing Western attitudes to more traditional European countries, and that maybe we all need to take a step back and observe- oh, no. They just fake-killed The Pope.
  
• 65.
  
  Napoleon Dynamite
  Whether the movie is known best for its blinding color palette, perfectly awkward dance sequence, or the joyously awful character of Uncle Rico, it's definitely known. Napoleon Dynamite's soft sadness helped turn the absurd into the downright enjoyable.
  
• 
  
• 64.
  
  Get Him to the Greek
  Unless you're Kelsey Grammer, you probably hate the term "spinoff." Russell Brand and Jonah Hill reuniting from Sarah Marshall worked surprisingly well, however, opposite a previously unseen comedy star in the wonderfully deranged Sean Combs.
  
• 63.
  
  Zack and Miri Make a Porno
  What Zack and Miri lacked in Kevin Smith's usual satirical commentary, it made up for in sheer filth. Unashamedly dirty in just about every respect, it's the movie you want to quote your favorite lines from but can't because society just isn't ready yet.
  
• 62.
  
  Beerfest
  The title alone gives an idea of the movie's popularity, but when you combine the already destined-for-success notion of a beerfest with plenty of German antagonists and a triumph over aforementioned German antagonists, you're onto a real winner.
  
• 
  
• 61.
  
  The Other Guys
  It's easy to overlook The Other Guys. The advertising seemed kind of cheesy. Will Ferrell had just made Land of the Lost. Mark Wahlberg is in it. All of those things are unfortunate, because The Other Guys is great. It's a nice return to form for Ferrell and Adam Mckay, the same people that made Anchorman great. Somehow, they managed to blend stupid humor with heavy political commentary. The thing is, though, the jokes are so silly that it's easy to miss the message until the infographics during the credits. Also, they blew up our office in it. Yes, that is the Collegehumor office in the movie.
  
• 60.
  
  Ghostbusters II
  Attention New York City: In a world in which dangerous ghosts exist, it's probably not the best idea to arrest and fire a team called the "Ghostbusters." Nevertheless, the down-and-out ‘busters worked just as well, and almost as amusingly, the second time around.
  
• 59.
  
  Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
  A movie about making movies--or at least making money off movies--Jay and Silent Bob contains surprisingly deep allegories about the capitalist structure of the film industry as well as enough offensive material for it to be branded NC-17 at first. A winning combination.
  
• 
  
• 58.
  
  The Mask
  The single most perfect role for Jim Carrey ever in his reality-bending turn as The Mask, a part he probably could have played just as effectively and convincingly without the special effects.
  
• 57.
  
  The Simpsons Movie
  Despite having a lot (and by "lot" I mean "the single greatest and most perfect story ever told") to live up to, The Simpsons Movie was funnier and more satisfying that anyone originally expected, perhaps down to the re-teaming of writers from the earlier and, let's face it, better seasons.
  
• 56.
  
  Meet the Parents
  Before the "Fockers" franchise (we're calling it that now, right?) descended into whatever the hell that was last Christmas, there was Meet The Parents, which made a lot of its "what's the worst that could happen?" premise and caused awful secondhand embarrassment across the world.
  
• 
  
• 55.
  
  There's Something About Mary
  A story of love and triumph over adversity is always great. But a story about love and triumph over Brett Favre, ultimately humiliating him? Perfection.
  
• 54.
  
  Men In Black
  As awesome as aliens are, sometime a film needs aliens AND Will Smith kicking their asses for them to really matter. Men In Black not only entertained adults, but terrified children into believing that the weird, dirty guy who lives in that shack down the road is actually a giant bug alien.
  
• 53.
  
  Big Daddy
  Adam Sandler returned once again to the "ignorant loser forced to take on responsibility" mine in Big Daddy, which sees him fostering a child whose mother has died of cancer and-- are we sure this is a comedy? Thankfully, Sandler's chemistry with kid Julian lightens the tone.
  
• 
  
• 52.
  
  Wayne's World 2
  Because why not? Wayne's World 2 took proceedings to an entirely different world (ha) of strange, introducing the "Waynestock" music festival and an extended parody of "The Graduate" as legitimate plot points.
  
• 51.
  
  Blazing Saddles
  Before "meta humor" was a thing, people were at a loss to describe exactly what the hell Blazing Saddles was. It combined The Old West with just about any historical inaccuracy conceivable. Mel Brooks seemed to just throw in anything that would make a scene funnier, and in this case, the absurdity paid off.
  
• 50.
  
  Clerks
  It all began with Clerks for Kevin Smith, who later spawned numerous spin-offs and sequels from this one movie, which took the seriousness of employee apathy to a whole new level. Despite many added scenes/alternate endings revealed by Smith over the years, Clerks still plays at its best and most filthy in its original state.
  
• 
  
• 49.
  
  Liar Liar
  For all intents and purposes, Liar Liar is a fantasy film about a guy who, for some reason, tells lies. It's straight-up magic. Wisely, the mechanics were never addressed in the movie, and not much else was either. Liar Liar unabashedly gave everyone what they really wanted: an hour and a half of a guy telling the truth, and we know how bad that can turn out.
  
• 48.
  
  Borat
  Coming at just the right time, when Sacha Baron Cohen was both in his creative prime and just about unknown enough for a stunt like this to fully work. As well as tackling xenophobia and racism in American society, he had time to offend just about everybody in America himself.
  
• 47.
  
  Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls
  Jim Carrey's delightfully, shamelessly unhinged performance as Ventura really kicked the Ace Venture series up a notch in When Nature Calls, which saw him playing with a slinky, parking a car, prepping a crime scene ,and coming naked out of a rhino's butt. Funnily, those other scenarios play out equally as ridiculous.
  
• 
  
• 46.
  
  Tommy Boy
  Tommy Boy is famously featured on legendary critic Roger Ebert's "Most Hated" list, but that hack's finally been proven wrong because, in actuality, fact it's the forty-sixth best comedy movie ever made, as evidenced by this list. Besides, it has Rob Lowe in it! Nothing with Rob Lowe in it is bad.
  
• 45.
  
  Monty Python's Life of Brian
  Curiously inoffensive considering the subject matter, Life of Brian manages to bring light humor to the story of Jesus. Of course, only Monty Python could handle this so delicately. The Mel Gibson remake didn't make me laugh ONCE.
  
• 44.
  
  I Love You, Man
  Sporting the most predictably adorable duo of leading men ever, Rudd's awkward social fumbling playing against Segel's previously unseen overconfidence. I Love You, Man was a surprise hit that paved the way for the "Bromance" genre to well and truly come out. Poor choice of words.
  
• 
  
• 43.
  
  American Pie
  Back in the ‘70s, people realized that college comedies were fun. Why did it take them another 30 years to start making high school comedies? American Pie doesn't break much new ground, but it's a solid movie. The funny parts are funny enough, the gross parts are gross enough, and the sexy parts are sexy enough. It's never amazing, but it's never bad either. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the six sequels. At least they gave Eugene Levy work.
  
• 42.
  
  Groundhog Day
  Before everyone realized Bill Murray was literally the greatest person ever, he was just a really good comedy actor. Never better than in Groundhog Day, a story of spiritual redemption and self-improvement which simultaneously uplifts and depresses because, come on, we'd never do any of that fancy-pants moral junk. We'd shoplift and play a real- life version of Death Race.
  
• 41.
  
  The Blues Brothers
  If in doubt over what kind of movie to make, throw a little of everything in there: comedy, music, car chases, characters with nicknames... with any luck, the result will be something like The Blues Brothers. Only, you know, not as great, because it really does take more than that. You need great actors, a great screenplay, an established director. You don't have any of those.
  
• 
  
• 40.
  
  Forgetting Sarah Marshall
  Jason Segel and Jason Segel's penis shared top billing in this frequently insightful romantic disaster movie, which helped many come to terms with the fact that, yes, Russell Brand is a bastard and, yes, they would sleep with Mila Kunis.
  
• 39.
  
  The Waterboy
  A sports movie for people who don't like/aren't good at sports. No wonder so many people liked it. The Waterboy provides us with an unbelievable occurrence: Rob Schneider's character is more memorable than Adam Sandler's. You can do it, Rob!
  
• 38.
  
  Robin Hood: Men in Tights
  Despite Ridley Scott's attempts, Men In Tights will always be what most people will remember when they think of the legend of Robin Hood, well, maybe that other one with the singing cartoon foxes also. But, come on, singing men in tights + Dave Chapelle's first credited acting role > cartoon foxes. Always.
  
• 
  
• 37.
  
  Team America: World Police
  Team America, as well as being totally hilarious, touched on some important world issues in a clever way. Still, what everyone REALLY remembers it for is the fear it strikes to this day into the heart of someone who wants to have a serious, involved conversation about Matt Damon.
  
• 36.
  
  Role Models
  Role Models' success can be attributed to the pleasant surprise that came with watching it for the first time. What seemed like a middle-of-the-road, throwaway winter comedy effort actually turned out to be funny and affecting, down to the unlikely but indispensable pairing of Paul Rudd and Seann WIlliam Scott.
  
• 35.
  
  The Naked Gun
  Leslie Nielsen and director David Zucker's skill at parodying genres was never more apparent than in The Naked Gun, which saw Nielsen's iconic Fank Drebin save The Queen of England. Which, in itself is funny. Your tax dollars paying for the protection of some unelected fop from the country that no longer owns you? Farce at its finest.
  
• 
  
• 34.
  
  Talladega Nights
  Will Ferrell, NASCAR, Making Fun Of French People. It's easy to see why this movie immediately appeals. Anchorman is just about the toughest act to follow, which explains the pared-down enthusiasm for McKay's next effort here. Still, its as offbeat and enjoyable, if not as groundbreaking, as its predecessor.
  
• 33.
  
  Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle
  We can learn a lot from the titular heroes, specifically that if something stands in your way--a jungle cat or Neil Patrick Harris for instance--smoke weed at it and things will work out.
  
• 32.
  
  Billy Madison
  Proof that learning can be hilarious, Billy Madison well and truly established Adam Sandler as a leading man and showed that it's OK to have a creepy crush on your teacher as long as you're good at heart. Also, congratulations, you will now always hear Adam Sandler's voice when you read Hamlet.
  
• 
  
• 31.
  
  Knocked Up
  Judd Apatow's story about two people coming together over an unplanned pregnancy was perfectly weighted between its insightful emotion and its decidedly "male" humor. The real defining characteristic of Knocked Up was its honesty in each of its characters' fallibility, and maybe that really graphic birth sequence also.
  
• 30.
  
  Tropic Thunder
  Notable for its creative and compellingly inoffensive use of blackface makeup, Tropic Thunder was an incredibly ambitious movie, offset by its snappy script, hilarious violence, and foul-mouthed banter, coming in particular from an unrecognizable Tom Cruise in his best role since... well... Mission Impossible II was pretty good, right?

  Animal House
  On the surface, it's a loud, funny, crass movie about guys in a fraternity. At its heart, though, it's informed and really quite subtle. John Belushi's big-name power helped the film achieve instant recognition, but even today its messages of pride and camaraderie live on. And excessive drinking. Can't forget that.

  Caddyshack
  29 years after Harold Ramis' directorial debut in Caddyshack, Year One was made. Let's try to forget this and focus on the promising beginnings, which boasts, arguably, the biggest disparity in movie history between "age of the actors" and "age the actors behave." Well, a close second after Sex and the City 2.

  Step Brothers
  Adam McKay is important as a writer/director, as he's willing to put literally anything into his films just as long as it's independently funny. That's never more apparent than in Step Brothers, which plays more like a sketch show than a full narrative and packed more bizarre situations into its brief running time than any of McKay's previous efforts.

  Pineapple Express
  The least spaced-out stoner flick ever, Pineapple Express sacrifices the age-old formula for something a little more action packed. It's easy to see now why James Franco's enjoyable turn seemed to come quite so naturally, but it was Danny McBride's scene-stealing role that really stepped the film up into "endlessly recappable" territory.

  Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
  Without the Austin Powers series, international audiences probably to this day would live in ignorance of the true definition of "shag." It's a good thing, then, that this movie exists, as well as extending the public's vocabulary, it extended the story of everyone's favorite James Bond spoof, now that Pierce Brosnan isn't in the movies anymore.

  Ferris Bueller's Day Off
  The movie that caused kids across the world to skip school and have a day of their own adventures, only to discover they weren't as cool or as fictional as Ferris Bueller for that to work. Nothing's better to watch in films quite like an awesome scheme falling perfectly into place. Ferris Bueller's Day Off's fun, complex tricks and spot-on worldly philosophies complement John Hughes' seemingly effortless humor and combine to form a true classic.

  Hot Fuzz
  An intentionally hilarious action movie for people who love unintentionally hilarious action movies, or for people who love their rural British countryside dramas with plenty of truly shocking gore. Hot Fuzz is the film that liberated millions from the guilt of not respecting old people enough because, well look, they're straight-up evil.

  Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
  Debates have raged on since the dawn of when When Nature Calls was released, friendships ruined, families split apart forever, all over which Ace Ventura was better. Of course, there can only be one winner. Pet Detective stands as a monument to the light, irreverent humour of the 90s down to the endlessly unforgettable slew of one-liners or that one scene when Einhorn is "exposed."

  Wedding Crashers
  It's a testament to the writers of Wedding Crashers that a movie about literally the most obnoxious, thoughtless people imaginable could turn out to be so pleasingly human. A focus on characterization combined with the genuinely weird humor meant that Wedding Crashers became one of the most shamelessly enjoyable comedies in recent years.

  Super Troopers
  The movie that made people like cops for 100 minutes, Super Troopers and its penchant for cruel pranks helped people realize that, yeah, those guys are just doing their jobs and, wow, stuff might actually happens in Vermont!

  Dumb and Dumber
  The Ace Ventura franchise was a vehicle for Jim Carrey. The philosophy seemed to be that if they pointed cameras at him, funny things would happen. They were right. Those movies are great, but he's only one piece of the puzzle. Dumb and Dumber one-ups Ace by dropping our favorite wacky ‘90s comedian into an incredibly clever and funny script with an equally funny co-star in Jeff Daniels. On it's face, the movie has a lot of broad jokes, but the humor is so dense that it's easy to miss the subtle stuff. "Fell off the jetway again"? Definitely didn't catch that on a first viewing. While the characters may be dumb, this film is pure genius.

  The Big Lebowski
  I mean, when the main character's called "The Dude," you know the movie's going to be cool. The Big Lebowski's magic is in the laid back, confident script from The Coen Brothers, which contains not only a respectful love for bowling, but the best drunken dream sequence since Dumbo.

  South Park Bigger, Longer & Uncut
  The myth of poor-quality film adaptations of TV classics was well and truly busted by South Park, which wisely did away with any actual movie structure and just set out to be the funniest, longest and most offensive episode ever. A recipe for success.

  Zoolander
  Ben Stiller showed the world in Zoolander that making a face as a punchline still has a place in humor if it's done right. It helps that the rest of the movie's equally as effective in its dispatch of the perfect insanity of Zoolander, who, in lesser hands, wouldn't be nearly this cool.

  Ghostbusters
  There are approximately zero people in the world that challenge Ghostbusters as a great movie. It hit the nail on the head with the all-too-often botched combination of big name actors, expensive special effects, and rapid fire wit. A third film's been loitering in the works for years now, and even if it's good, it's probably not going to be "Ghostbusters One" good.

  Airplane!
  At just 87 minutes long, Airplane! Must hold the record for "most jokes per minute." It probably also holds the records for "best performance by a nun in a violent sequence," "best abuse of a heart transplant patient," and "best performance by an inflatable misogynist." Who can deny its quality now?

  Wayne's World
  Definitively, the best movie SNL has ever made, and, perhaps, the best movie SNL will ever make again, Wayne's World reveled in its pitch-perfect weirdness at the hands of in-form Dana Carvey and Mike Myers culminating in one of three fittingly off-the-wall endings, while still following the one rule of all Mike Myers movies: his character gets to date a woman who is way, way too hot for him.

  Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery
  Possibly more responsible for any UK/USA tension in the last 20 years than any political fumble--including that time the President made out with the Prime Minister's assistant. Or was that Love, Actually?--Either way, Austin Powers was an inspirational tale to guys everywhere: make enough sex jokes and Liz Hurley will sleep with you!

  Spaceballs
  Endearingly cheap set design! A slew of 80s comedy legends! The word "balls" in the title! How could this movie NOT have made the top ten? It had everything. Has there been a franchise so consistently and skillfully parodied as Star Wars? And did any one film succeed more than Spaceballs? The answers are no and no, thanks to the master of parody, Mel Brooks, and his unmatched talent for the ridiculous.

  Office Space
  "I hate my job'"is more a sentiment than a movie pitch, but Office Space's bleak humanity, agreeable philosophy ,and knowledge that everyone really wants to beat the crap out of their office printer, allowed for a lot to be explored around the theme of workplace misery. Though this movie's theatrical release was a rather massive failure, it has slowly crept its way up to the top of many people's favorite movies lists. Peter Gibbons would be proud.

  Dodgeball
  Role Models gave us LARPing, Napoleon Dynamite gave us listening to Jamiroquai, but the number one activity that everyone thought was a good idea for one week after a film's release was dodgeball from Dodgeball. There was a lot to love about the film's rag-tag group of hopefuls and their quest to become dodgeball champions, from Vince Vaughn's witty yet vulnerable alpha male, to Wash, from Firefly, as a pirate for some reason. The ensemble was so good, not even comedy superman Ben Stiller over-shadowed them.

  Old School
  Old School--better known as the movie that disappointed thousands of freshmen when they got to college in 2003--taught audiences it's important to never lose touch with a child-like sense of wonder and exploration. And, also, that gratuitous groin injury scenes will never not cause horrible secondhand pain. Damn you, Old School, in that one respect. You're still hilarious. Old School is also notable for being the Enola Gay that dropped the Will Ferrell atom bomb on the comedy movie world.

  Happy Gilmore
  Who would have thought something as boring as golf would gift such an entertain movie? Of course, it wasn't so much the "golf" as it was the "abuse of golf" that captured the hearts and minds of the public. Adam Sandler has been at the forefront of popular comedy for nearly twenty years, and Happy Gilmore attests to the fact that he's been on the top of his game since the beginning, here as the unnervingly aggressive and yet somehow just as endearing Gilmore.

  Shaun Of The Dead
  Probably the first time that romance, hyper-violence, and lightning fast humor have been so lovingly blended, but, thanks to the instant popularity of Brit-com superteam of Pegg/Frost/Wright, definitely not the last. Shaun of the Dead took just about ALL the horror movie tropes and twisted them to its own gleeful advantage. With so many "blink and you'll miss it" gags, it's impossible to catch everything in the first, second, or even tenth viewing. It's the movie that keeps on giving. Also, there are zombies in it.

  The 40-Year-Old Virgin
  A sweet-natured film about friendship, truth, and the importance of being yourself when you find the one person in this cruel world who understands you and makes you happy. Plus, come on, that part where he pees on himself? Shakespeare himself couldn't have written that better. After stealing scenes in Anchorman and Bruce Almighty, Steve Carell was finally appointed leading-man status as The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and couldn't have done so more believably. Which is a good thing.

  Superbad
  Superbad sparked something of a revival in the "One Night Gone Wrong" genre, and likely something of a revolution in Jonah Hill's sex life. Its quick pace allowed for a natural, believable progression of events, and the characters always felt like more than comedy caricatures. It delivered the exact opposite of what its title promised and gave, instead ,a masterpiece, packed with cruel, quick quips and the flawless debut of thespian Christopher Mintz-Pl- ah, forget it, McLovin.

  Anchorman
  Adam McKay's directorial debut still proves the most popular today, which must delight and annoy him in identical measures. Anchorman had it all: inane silliness, creative insults, an animated sex scene. The movie is packed with so much insanity that it's amazing it even exists. But the real thing that makes it shine is Will Ferrel, in all his unhinged glory. Watching Anchorman feels like strapping yourself to a chair and subjecting yourself to Will Ferrell for two hours, which is great. This is Will Ferrell's Citizen Kane.

  The Hangover
  The very definition of "Instant Classic," The Hangover became a comedy mainstay around three hours after its release, thanks mostly to Zach Galifianakis's (you're not a TRUE fan until you can spell that right in one try) perfectly bizarre performance, which transformed him overnight into one of the most well-known and in-demand comedic actors in the world. Still, the movie's most memorable moment has to be Mike Tyson's extended cameo, who, despite presumably not acting quite as much as Galifianakis, delivered an equally as unhinged performance.

  Monty Python and the Holy Grail
  The people have spoken. After over one million votes, Monty Python and the Holy Grail has been declared the best comedy of all-time. Where did it all go so right? The wit is inexhaustible. The plot takes unpredictable and delightful turns, particularly the sequence in which the "Black Beast Of Aaaaarrrrgggghhhh" is vanquished (who can honestly say they saw that coming?) The cast is flawless. I mean, obviously, it's Monty Python. Its success can't be attributed to any of these things independently, but the winning combination and flawless execution of all these elements. The film's legacy continues even today with a Broadway adaptation now entering its eighth year on tour. With almost every line of dialogue endlessly quoted by annoying nerds, it's easy to forget the quality and downright genius of this movie's jokes. Aptly titled, The Holy Grail represents everything that was good in British comedy, and proves that Britain is still #1--on this list, anyway.
