Williams, Brady Noon, Lil Rey Howery, Will Forte, and Molly Gordon. From first kisses to flying drones, riding bikes to the mall to selling a sex doll, “Good Boys” doesn’t hold back for its laughs, and each joke is equally as adorable thanks to the ensemble cast including Keith L. Jacob Tremblay hilariously leads the R-rated middle school comedy about growing up and growing out of his Beanbag Boys childhood friend group. Sure, it may sound gimmicky but “Good Boys” is anything but a typical tween movie. Just think: Your favorite Judd Apatow comedy is scaled down and all those raunchy jokes are coming out of the mouths of tweens. While the subject matter of “World’s Greatest Dad” has taken on a much sadder context in the wake of Williams’ tragic suicide, that is no reason not to appreciate the brilliant work that he did while he was still with us. The material is an excellent showcase for both Williams’ comedic and dramatic chops, and manages to fearlessly look at the bizarre nature of posthumous celebrity worship without ever seeming tasteless. When Williams’ son dies in an embarrassing sexual accident, he does one last act of good parenting by trying to hide the details in a way that leads to his son’s memory becoming more beloved than it ever would have been otherwise. Not every film could find a way to tell a touching and genuinely funny story about suicide, but not every film has the talents of Robin Williams at its disposal either. “World’s Greatest Dad” sits next to “Four Lions” in the pantheon of recent films that turned the most unfunny subjects on the planet into indisputable comedy gold. ©Magnolia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection As IndieWire has evolved, so has this list, and it will continue to do so as long as we keep finding films that make us laugh.

And we’ve added some titles released since 2017 that needed to be included, plus a handful of films released before then that the staff at IndieWire have deemed essential. At that time, we dropped a number of titles from the original list that are funny, but not necessarily comedies. We’ve added 20 new films to the Top 50 list we unveiled in August. The pandemic may be starting to recede but the specter of war has occupied our minds instead: so, in desperate need of some humor, we thought it was more important than ever to give our Greatest Comedies of the 21st Century list, originally published in 2017 (and last updated in August 2021), a rethink. At least this bizarre, still-very-much-in-progress century has already produced any number of great comedies that you can fire up any time you need a serotonin burst, thanks to the ever-growing cadre of streaming services. Maybe with everything going the way it is in the world right now, we’re laughing in hopes of keeping less cheery emotions at bay.
