00:00 - Huh? - What?

00:01 You assume we don't know how to have a good time?

00:04 I-I just...

00:05 I-I just...

00:07 What is that?

00:08 Welcome to WatchMojo,

00:10 and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 underrated raunchy comedies.

00:14 - I quit! - ( screaming )

00:16 - ( grunting ) - ( screaming )

00:18 For this list, we'll be ranking suggestive, laugh-out-loud movies

00:22 that we feel either deserve to be celebrated more

00:24 or rewatched to remember just how funny they were in the first place.

00:27 What's your favorite raunchy comedy?

00:29 Let us know in the comments.

00:31 Number 10, "Private Resort."

00:34 They say that everyone needs to start somewhere,

00:36 and for actors, that somewhere is often the world

00:39 of B-grade movies in the horror and comedy realm.

00:42 Johnny Depp is absolutely one of those now A-list celebrities

00:45 who spend his time working in these types of films.

00:48 Are you always this forward with strangers?

00:51 Only with beautiful women.

00:53 "Private Resort" was the sort of VHS staple from the 1980s

00:57 that was sold on the premise of wacky hijinks and gratuitous nudity.

01:01 - ( crashing ) - ( screaming )

01:04 Depp, who made his first movie debut in "A Nightmare on Elm Street"

01:08 just the year before, gets star billing for the first time.

01:11 "Private Resort" delivers all of the raunchy content you'd expect

01:14 from a film called, well, "Private Resort."

01:17 My grandmother's probably home by now.

01:19 She can take care of herself.

01:21 Number nine, "The Overnight."

01:26 What goes into the creation of a truly raunchy comedy?

01:29 Well, explicit content and zany hijinks are key ingredients.

01:32 "The Overnight" certainly delivers on both counts,

01:35 particularly during its closing, ahem, climax.

01:38 - Hey, group hug. - Thank you.

01:39 - Yes. - Oh, okay.

01:42 The film focuses on a couple, Alex and Emily,

01:45 who are new to L.A. and keen to make friends.

01:47 They meet another couple and bring their kids together for a playdate.

01:50 It's so good, you know what it makes me think about?

01:52 - What? - ( spitting )

01:54 However, the other couple happens to be swingers,

01:57 and this crazy night quickly goes off the rails

01:59 in an orgy of unexpected and very adult comedy.

02:02 - Oh, there they are. - Oh, hey, honey.

02:05 Number eight, "Kingpin."

02:07 The Farrelly brothers enjoy a proven track record

02:10 when it comes to delivering some truly outrageous comedy.

02:12 "Kingpin" arrived right smack dab

02:14 in what could be considered an apex of the siblings' creative success,

02:17 the mid-'90s.

02:18 Listen, you stupid banana head, you don't have to bet.

02:21 I'll bet for you.

02:22 - Yeah. - Oh, that's cool.

02:24 The film, which stars Woody Harrelson,

02:26 Randy Quaid, Bill Murray, and Vanessa Angel,

02:29 is a sports movie of sorts, albeit in the raunchiest way possible.

02:32 It's the world of professional bowling that gets the spotlight here,

02:35 a down and dirty world that feels like miles away

02:38 from the polished athletics of football or basketball.

02:41 ( cheering )

02:44 Yes, son of a--

02:46 There's tons of sexual sight gags and poor behavior to be found,

02:49 as well as plenty of genuine laughs,

02:51 making "Kingpin" a strong recommendation

02:53 for your next raunchy retro movie night.

02:55 - ( sighs ) - What's the matter?

02:58 Nothing.

03:00 Number seven, "Zack and Miri Make a Porno."

03:03 Do raunchy comedies need to be raunchy all the time?

03:05 We don't think so,

03:07 especially when they're as fun as "Zack and Miri Make a Porno."

03:09 The film, alternatively known as "Zack and Miri,"

03:12 details the exploits of friends who are struggling financially

03:14 and need to find some quick cash.

03:16 If it's so easy, how come everybody doesn't do it?

03:18 Because other people have options and dignity,

03:21 which we do not have, which puts us

03:23 in an amazingly advantageous position.

03:25 They decide to make a ramshackle adult film,

03:27 but end up falling in love with the process.

03:29 "Zack and Miri" didn't do well critically or financially

03:32 during its initial run in theaters, and we honestly don't know why.

03:35 This is the worst porno I've ever seen.

03:38 The film was written and directed by Kevin Smith,

03:40 with his usual wit and heart,

03:42 and deserves some raunchy comedy reappraisal.

03:44 So as you can see, our movie ain't got no ending.

03:47 Every movie needs an ending, don't it?

03:50 There are a myriad of different plot devices

03:56 that can set the wheels of an average raunchy comedy in motion.

03:59 The "Let's Save the Rec Center" is an all-time classic,

04:02 as is the idea of a white-tea car crash.

04:05 Perhaps chief among those plot tricks

04:07 is the good old-fashioned road trip.

04:09 Let's go, ladies!

04:11 Lance, cut it out! Come on!

04:13 A lot of things can happen while on a long drive,

04:15 and 2008's "Sex Drive" ensures

04:17 that there's no shortage of outrageous situations on the open road.

04:21 What have you got?

04:23 There's a hot pursuit, angry state troopers,

04:26 and a whole lot of shenanigans to be had behind the wheel.

04:29 Oh, and tons of laughs, too.

04:31 Laughs, sir.

04:33 Works for me.

04:35 Is the OG "Meatballs" from 1979

04:39 the raunchiest film in this franchise?

04:41 No, that would be its bonkers second sequel,

04:44 "Meatballs 3, Summer Job."

04:46 However, it all started here

04:48 with what's still the highest-grossing Canadian film of all time.

04:51 Yep, it turns out that a lot of moviegoers

04:57 wanted to see what really happens at Camp North Star.

05:00 Not that we can blame them,

05:02 especially when Bill Murray is in charge of the camp counselors.

05:05 All right, gentlemen, big event.

05:07 Operation late-night excitement.

05:09 "Meatballs" balances out a smart and funny script

05:12 with just enough heart to keep the film from feeling too sleazy.

05:15 Maybe somehow, director Ivan Reitman already knew

05:18 that "Meatballs 3" would end up covering all those bases only a few years later.

05:22 Like "Meatballs," stoner comedy "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle"

05:35 was also successful enough to muster up a franchise,

05:38 earning sequels in 2008 and 2011.

05:40 "Mochi Harold and Kumar" is a comedy of errors

05:43 as these two friends take on an otherwise innocuous mission for fast food.

05:46 While it isn't the raunchiest film on our list,

05:55 the scene involving Freak Show and his wife

05:57 certainly goes to unexpected places.

05:59 By the end of their mission, the duo has a story that,

06:07 if it were real, would never be believed by your friends,

06:10 or our friends, or anyone for that matter.

06:12 Well, except maybe Neil Patrick Harris.

06:14 Did you ever wonder what sort of movie

06:26 "Wet Hot American Summer" was parodying back in 2001?

06:28 Well, then, you need to go back and watch 1980's "Little Darlings."

06:32 It's Randy.

06:34 Don't let the name fool you.

06:37 Its plot of two teenagers racing to see which can lose their virginity first

06:42 is actually handled with, to quote film critic Roger Ebert,

06:45 "some of the dignity it deserves."

06:47 I don't know what's with them. They never come prepared.

06:49 They think it's the woman's responsibility or something.

06:51 The film was yet another omnipresent title on VHS

06:54 before falling into obscurity thanks to musical rights

06:56 associated with its hit soundtrack.

06:58 Seriously, "Little Darlings" is funny, raunchy, and memorable,

07:02 with great music.

07:04 It all started here for the Zucker Brothers,

07:13 who would find mainstream success with the "Airplane" and "Naked Gun" film series.

07:17 The "Kentucky Fried" movie is the gold standard

07:19 for that brief cinematic trend in the '70s

07:21 of developing sketch comedy movies.

07:23 Show me your nuts.

07:25 Oh, I hit one.

07:28 This transgressive and anarchic comedy

07:30 takes potshots at everyone and everything.

07:32 There's one long-form narrative sketch

07:34 that parodies Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon,"

07:36 but elsewhere, it's "Anything Goes."

07:38 Parodies of commercials? Check.

07:45 Running gags? Double check.

07:46 Director John Landis ensured

07:48 that a "Kentucky Fried" movie was packed with as much silliness

07:51 and gratuitousness as humanly possible.

07:53 You've been warned.

07:54 Come back to Montana with me.

07:56 I get no sooner run away from her than myself.

07:58 I'm not asking you to run. I'm asking you to face reality.

08:18 Number 1, "The Last American Virgin."

08:21 Ask anyone who's seen "The Last American Virgin,"

08:23 and they'll immediately mention one thing--

08:25 that ending.

08:26 This film, from director Bose Davidson,

08:28 was a remake of a film Davidson directed in his native Israel,

08:31 and it's truly one of a kind.

08:33 Do you have a boyfriend?

08:35 No.

08:37 For starters, it has a soundtrack to die for,

08:39 including tracks from "Journey," "Devo," "The Cars," and "The Police."

08:43 Additionally, the well-worn plot of "Losing It"

08:46 takes on a whole new meaning,

08:47 with some real moral stakes at risk for the characters.

08:50 Tom.

08:51 This has got nothing to do with you.

08:55 There's a lot of sex and nudity, sure,

08:57 but also consequences for the actions of the protagonists.

09:00 Then there's the ending, which we won't spoil here.

09:02 We'll just say one thing--

09:04 you'll never see it coming.
