What was the funniest movie of the '00s?

Personally I can't think of any comedies from the last 10 years that would be among my all-time faves.

What have I missed out on?

Non-spoilery clips would be welcome!
Tip for best answer: M$2.50

I knew the answer to this as soon as you posted this question: Anchorman!

Made in 2004, Anchorman stars Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy, a 1970s news reporter who is hopelessly vain and idiotic. The supporting cast, which includes Christina Applegate, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, and Fred Willard absolutely knocks this movie out of the ballpark.

But Anchorman is a SPECIAL movie. The first time you watch it, you won't like it. I promise. Everyone I know watched it once, gave a sour look and dismissed it. But on 2nd and 3rd viewings the movie becomes absolutely hysterical! Gno's husband raves: "Easily the funniest movie of the last 10 years!"

We've almost worn out our DVD. Never in my life have I quoted one movie SO much. And that's saying something!

ANCHORMAN QUOTES
===================
(most of these help if you can do the goofy voice impressions)

RON BURGUNDY: "I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany."

RON BURGUNDY: "I'm gonna punch you in the ovary, that's what I'm gonna do. A straight shot. Right to the babymaker."

BRIAN FANTANA: "Ron, I know it sounds harsh, but God does not want her to live."

BRICK TAMLAND: "I love... carpet.
*pause*
BRICK TAMLAND: I love... desk.
RON BURGUNDY: Brick, are you just looking at things in the office and saying that you love them?
BRICK TAMLAND: I love lamp.
RONBURGUNDY: Do you really love the lamp, or are you just saying it because you saw it?
BRICK TAMLAND: I love lamp. I love lamp."

BRICK TAMLAND: "Brick Tamland: I'm Brick Tamland. People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks. Years later, a doctor will tell me that I have an I.Q. of 48 and am what some people call mentally retarded."

BRIAN FANTANA: "I know what you're asking yourself and the answer is yes. I have a nick name for my penis. Its called the Octagon, but I also nick named my testes - my left one is James Westfall and my right one is Doctor Kenneth Noisewater. You ladies play your cards right you just might get to meet the whole gang."

I do have to give it up for Sex Panther because I love this type of logic and it really sounds like something I would say. "60% of the time it works every time" available from here http://sex-panther.com/ really.

Thanks to this movie... I now know that “San Diego” is German for “Whale’s Vagina”.

One of the funniest comedies I can recall from recent years is The Hangover. It is actually in the IMDB list of "Top 250" movies at the moment, and it has around an 8.0 rating out of 80,000ish votes. Of course, humour is highly subjective though!

I have to agree with demanda! This movie is incredibly unexpected crazy funny hilarious! It's a little "adult", but otherwise, it's very very out-of-the-ordinary!

There are a lot of funny movies listed in this thread but to me most of them are quite ordinary, my sense of humor tends to lean into the offensive. If the movie doesn't offend somebody it can't be really funny to me. I know this says something about me but I do love to laugh and that's what does it for me.

In my opinion the funniest movie of this decade by far was the 2006 release Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

I laughed from beginning to end and watch this movie when I need a laugh at least once a week. Very nice. Watch the trailer here with reviews of the #4 prostitute in all of Kazakhstan

Alas, I too am having a hard time thinking of a comedy in the past decade that will sit on my 'all time' list too.
http://www.filmsandtv.com/genre.php?gs=2000Comedy

My first thought was Office Space, but that was made in 1999.

I think the last decade has highlighted a new brand of comedy called "Uncomfortable and Embarrassing". I think it started with movies like Meet the Parents (2000) and Meet the Fockers (2004) and branched out from there. The comedic actors that have ruled for the last decade are Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn and their sidekicks.

Every decade brings a new generation and different skew to comedy, and I have found that you either like it or you don't. I have also found that you have to be in the right mood to take in a comedy. When I watched Napoleon Dynamite for the first time, I didn't like it, but watching it again... I enjoyed it more.

After scanning the decade list of comedy movies from the link above, I was able to narrow it down two movies, well... actually three that I found to be funny in a unique and quirky way. Two of these are not your typical cookie cutter comedies either.

Even though Snatch came out in 2000, I have to give it honorable mention.
I thought I Heart Huckabee's (2004) was a really different kind of comedy and if you didn't see it, I would highly recommend it.
And for plain and silly slapstick comedy, I would say Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004) is also a good one.

I wish I could give you more...

I would have to say Old School. It has a great cast and everyone worked well in the film.
