In the past decades, motion pictures have become a popular way to get distracted from the daily, repetitive lives us people live. One of the best genres of movies is comedy. And very few people do it so well. Seth MacFarlane and Sacha Baron Cohen are the two funniest comedies of our time.

Seth MacFarlane, well known for Ted, Family Guy, American Dad, A Million Ways To Die in the West, has the satire, edgy sense of humor our parents tried to hide us from when we were children. Of course, we eventually began to watch such comedy.
Seth MacFarlane has always been doing something with animation, weather it was a whole show of cartoons, or a animated teddy bear edited into a movie. Either way, with or without cartoons, he gets the job done. Although he has some twisted humor, he is so well known and appreciated because he makes fun of the stuff you're not supposed to; and he gets away with it. If you take any other person off the street and have them tell a typical Seth MacFarlane joke, they will be viewed as racist, anti-patriotic, something along those lines. The way Seth MacFarlane does it can be considered an artwork. His comedy is obviously making fun of, not laughing with (he makes that clear) of people, ideas, events, etc. Just watch one episode of Family Guy and every minute or so they have a spin off making fun of something and really insulting it. I don't know how he does it, but he holds nothing back and is constantly funny. Seth MacFarlane is also known to do multiple voices, and he has a knack for doing musical notes in his writing, where he incorporates satirical humor into a song and has characters preform it. Oh, and he also hosted the Academy Awards, where he wrote a musical note to be preformed.

Sacha Baron Cohen has the same idea as Seth MacFarlane, where he is extremely satirical and edgy with his comedy. The only thing Cohen does different is he goes out into the real world as his characters. Sacha Baron Cohen may not be his most recognizable persona, but rather "Borat" or "Bruno" or my personal favored "Ali G". Yes, he is that guy that made one of the funniest, immature movies ever titled "Borat" where he played an innocent reporter from Kazakhstan just trying to get by in America (and meet Pamela Anderson). Cohen is a comedic legend because his comedy isn't written out, edited on a computer, and processed into a movie; instead it is filmed by an incognito camera man, where most of his dialogue is improve, and just going with the flow of the confused unprepared civilians he is dealing with. Although Cohen has gotten multiple lawsuits from his antics, he  surprisingly plays his role really well. Borat and Bruno are two movies where everyone in the movie had no idea he was playing a character. This comedy is so rare, after seeing Cohen do it, I don't think anyone can do it better. But, Cohen also does written out skits. He did that one movie, "The Dictator" where he played a foreign dictator that came over from America. Not his best work, but still a little funny. Also, he does this character "Ali G" where he plays an English wanna-be gangster who seems to know next to nothing and is very immature. He's interviewed hugely famous people like Kobe, Shaq, David Beckham, and then random people like small business owners, farmers, etc. But in every interview, he finds something that he can say to annoy the interviewee, or befuddle them with immense stupidity. Simple things like asking, "How many springs are in a basketball?" to Kobe can result in top quality comedy.

Where To Watch Movies

Since going to the movies now a days is too much time and money for our important lives, people have conveniently made websites with the theater movies in them. You can download a computer app called Popcorn time and watch almost any movie or TV show that has ever aired, or you can go onto putlocker.is and watch movies that came out only weeks ago (if you can click through all the ads). And since I find it helpful to watch full length films instead of doing my homework, I am here to tell you which ones to watch and which ones not to. 

Cop Car, a movie I recently watched featuring Kevin Bacon, very much met my expectations. The plot was more thought out than I thought possible for a film called "Cop Car", especially the fact that 2 of the main characters were kids. Jon Watts filmed and directed this in the scenic Colorado Springs, where 2  around find a cop car. One thing leads to another, and eventually they are in the car driving it. Yes this is a very simple story idea, but the reasoning behind why the car is there and what later happens to the kids and the car-less cop is remarkable.
