Here are some of the funniest comedy films coming to Peacock this month. You have a lot of watching to do, so get started!
Airplane! (1980)
In the eyes of many fans, the comedy genre was forever changed with Airplane! From its deadpan humor to the film's dedication to fearlessly delivering jokes at a rapid-fire pace, the movie is — like many on this list — exceedingly quotable, even 46 years after its initial release.
The 40 Year-Old Virgin (2005)
For Steve Carell, 2005 was a banner year. Between the debut of The Office, where he starred as Michael Scott, to his performance in The 40 Year-Old Virgin, he quickly became a household name on his way to superstardom.
Carrell's portrayal of the hapless — and sweet — Andy Stitzer in The 40 Year-Old Virgin remains a can't-miss comedy experience.
