This is NOT on the AFI list for top 100 comedies
I agree with the reviewer that this is indeed a VERY funny movie. I made the same mistake he did when I saw "The Freshman" listed as #79 on the AFI 100 funniest movies list, but if you look closer you see that it says 1925. That is a Harold Lloyd silent comedy. Perhaps this too should be on the AFI list.
