This List is All Fucked Up: Top 15 Judd Apatow Movies

Nerve.com – One of the knocks against Judd Apatow has always been that — with the exception of his wife, Leslie Mann — his cinematic clubhouse has largely been a rowdy boys’ club. That may explain Apatow’s involvement as one of the producers of Bridesmaids, the upcoming Kristin Wiig comedy (directed by Freaks & Geeks alum Paul Feig) that’s being promoted as the female answer to raunchy bromances like The Hangover. But where does Bridesmaids fall in the overall Apaverse? To find out, we’ve created a worst-to-best ranking of every film from Apatow Productions.

15. Drillbit Taylor (2008)
14. Step Brothers (2008)
13. Year One (2009)
12. Get Him to the Greek (2010)
11. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)
10. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)
9. Pineapple Express (2008)
8. The Cable Guy (1996)
7. Funny People (2009)
6. Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)
5. Superbad (2007)
4. Bridesmaids (2011)
3. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)
2. Knocked Up (2007)
1. The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)

Now I didn’t see Bridesmaids yet but I heard it really funny so I’m not gonna bitch about it, but I’ve seen all the rest besides Drillbit Taylor so I don’t think I’m missing anything. First of all, Walk Hard is like the most underrated comedy of recent memory. Is easily in the top 5 here for me. Step Brothers is way too low, too. And would everyone get off of Knocked Up‘s dick? It was funny, yeah, but it wasn’t better than Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Anchorman, Cable Guy, or Walk Hard. It’s not. I get that it’s heartfelt and more of a RomCom but that alone doesn’t make it better than those other movies.

My list:

15. Drillbit Taylor (2008)
14. Year One (2009)
13. Get Him to the Greek (2010)
12. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)
11. Funny People (2009)
10. Step Brothers (2008)
9. Knocked Up (2007)
8. The Cable Guy (1996)
7. Pineapple Express (2008)
6. Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)
5. Bridesmaids (2011)
4. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)
3. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)
2. Superbad (2007)
1. The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)

Boom. There you have it. The REAL list.

It's amazing he even has a career after writing Celtic Pride in 1996. You would think a disaster like that would have tainted him forever.
by mattsh20 on May 12th, 2011 at 3:08 PM

Who gives a fuck, theres like 6 movies on the list anyway. Maybe it would be blog worthy if there were a hundred and they had Drillbit Taylor as number 1. Other than that, whatd u switch like 3 of them?

Step Brothers is highly underrated. Classic comedy
by spazer11 on May 12th, 2011 at 3:13 PM

YOUR MISSING HEAVYWEIGHTS FROM THAT LIST. CHECK YOUR SHIT

so if knocked up wasn't better than the cable guy why is it.... never mind I'm not even going to bother anymore. great list Big Mo. really knocked it out of the park
by manzosucks on May 12th, 2011 at 3:21 PM

Step Brothers gets better with each viewing
by lanemyer on May 12th, 2011 at 3:37 PM

Anyone who puts Knocked up in the top 10 is out of their mind! Anchorman is clearly #1 or #2 and Stepbrothers is a top 5 all the way.
by hocke4607 on May 12th, 2011 at 3:37 PM

The Cable Guy fucking sucked. Step Brothers should be top fucking five.
by TouchMySportsHub on May 12th, 2011 at 3:39 PM

kristin wiig suuuuucks.
by Avon_Barksdale on May 12th, 2011 at 3:43 PM

talladega nights at 12!?? you must be on crack which is highly likely, ethnically speaking. You have Funny People and the fucking CABLE GUY before ricky bobby? Everything past #4 on your list is fucked three ways toward the weekend.
by EZBreezey2222 on May 12th, 2011 at 3:43 PM

walk hard sucked balls, no way is it top ten. funny people also sucked, no way should that be above ricky bobby. step brothers will NEVER get old, way too low on your list. just a shitty list. and maybe you should see bridesmaids before you give it top 5 status over a bunch of legendary movies.
by dongtastic on May 12th, 2011 at 3:44 PM

Step brothers needs to be moved up, down, whatever. Top 5 easily. Way better than Sarah Marshall. Adam Scott killed it, the wife and JC Riley, come on. And IT'S THE FUCKING CATALINA WINE MIXER!
by Ceasar Salazar on May 12th, 2011 at 3:47 PM

Your list is fucked up too. Step Brothers (2008) is worst case scenario a number 2. Should be holding down number 1 on both list. "Do you want to do karate in the garage?"
by Avon_Barksdale on May 12th, 2011 at 3:50 PM

real list, in your eye. 1. Anchorman (not even a question) 2. 40 year old virgin 3. Talladega Nights 4. Superbad 5. Stepbrothers 6. Walk Hard 7. Forgetting Sarah Marshall 8. Knocked Up 9. Pineapple Express 10. Cable Guy The rest are all abortions. This guy tries way too hard most of the time.

by Avon_Barksdale on May 12th, 2011 at 4:03 PM

OH SHIT HE CALLED YOU WORSE THAN MANZO SON!
by headreceiver on May 12th, 2011 at 4:07 PM

by mb10000m on May 12th, 2011 at 4:10 PM

Man...her titties look yum yum in that picture. Where my dogs at? holla at the snick snack daddy mack
by punchbowlturd on May 12th, 2011 at 4:22 PM

Walk hard! So good I have the album on my i pod. JC Rielly is the shit in this movie. Don't you dare try to stifle me. Who's band is this anyway? You cocksucker! I'll punch you in the mouth! In a coked out rage...makes me laugh every time.
by maurice on May 12th, 2011 at 4:42 PM

...... called me on it. flipping cable guy and knocked up now. step brothers probably should be higher but i gotta stick with that initial gut feeling list. and worse than manzo? cmon.
by Turkey Titts on May 12th, 2011 at 5:06 PM

Just put Walk Hard in my queue. John C Reilly is gold. Don't know why it took me so long. Thanks in advance for the advice. Sincerely, Dr. Steve Brule
by scmass on May 12th, 2011 at 5:10 PM

Superbad could've been Animal House or Caddyshack. However, for some reason Apatow allowed Seth Rogen to hijack and ruin the movie. Dewey Cox sucked. Get Him To the Greek was better than I thought it was going to be. I liked it.
by 123456789 on May 12th, 2011 at 5:44 PM

Real List...Cmon Bro. 1. Anchorman 2. Step Brothers 3. 40 Year Old Virgin 4. Pineapple Express 5. Superbad 6. Funny People-Very Under Rated 7. Knocked Up-Very Over Rated 8. Talladega Nights 9. Forgetting Sarah Marshall 10. Walk Hard 11. The Cable Guy All else is that garbage jawn. IN THAT ORDER!
by Numero Two on May 12th, 2011 at 7:03 PM

Flip Superbad and Anchorman and flip Knocked Up and Pineapple and you've nailed it. Also haven't seen Bridesmaids, god I am just such a bitch!
by RC Cola on May 12th, 2011 at 7:31 PM

Step Brothers and Walk Hard are both way underrated.
by phillyallday15 on May 12th, 2011 at 10:05 PM

funny people shouldnt even be on this list that movie blows
by CincyLife on May 13th, 2011 at 7:40 AM

Since black folks don't like Nascar, I see why you gave Talladega nights such a shitty ranking. That is a top 5 movie, period. Shouldn't you be ranking Tyler Perry movies since I'm willing to bet you haven't seen but 2 or 3 of the movies you are trying to rank?
by guru1197 on May 13th, 2011 at 2:37 PM

1. Step Brothers, thats all I know
