Looking for some suggestions for comedies

Anyone know of any good comedies to recommend with side-splitting laughter inducing scenes. I've found that the type of humor most likely to evoke that reaction in me are ones that have a very weird main character doing really crazy stuff in a normal situation and the ensuing interactions with other normal people in the scene. Here's a few examples that stand out in my memory that really had me laughing:

Tommy Boy - I Killed my Sale scene

Billy Madison - Invisible Penguin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlFcCfcOO7I

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls - Monopoly Guy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cj1wcs7SZj0

Freddy Got Fingered - Daddy Would You Like Some Sausages
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgPJSBd18MU

Master of Disguise - Jaws Scene
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzr5-kn9mW4

That should give a good idea of what sort of thing I'm looking for. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Black Sheep I loved and Three Amigos was pretty good too. I'll have to check out Modern Problems - I've never heard of that one. For the Brady Bunch, I can't imagine that it is weird enough for my sense of humor.

Brady bunch movie is pretty weird, they have Greg and Marsha lusting after each other.

Comedy tastes are so subjective. I hate half of the suggestions in here.

Some of my favorites already mentioned. I'd add:

MacGruber
Brain Donors (grit your teeth through the first 15 minutes or so. It gets great)
Murder by Death
Grosse Point Blank
A Fish Called Wanda

Well I loved MacGruber and a Fish Called Wanda, so I'll have to check out those other 3.

Just tell me what you want me to fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck...
