你猜怎么着？在曾获得奥斯卡最佳影片奖的喜剧中，只有三部入围本次榜单的前100。不过，令人意外的是，很多本世纪制作的喜剧进入了榜单，尽管它们去年并未入围21世纪100部最伟大电影。本世纪制作的喜剧中排名最高的是《王牌播音员》，位列33名。《颠父人生》是榜单中最“年轻”的电影，最“老”的则是《安全至下》。

The results are illuminating in other ways. They show that men and women have very similar comedic tastes, with a few key points of divergence – women were much more inclined to vote for Clueless while guys stumped for Animal House. And there’s evidence that comedy is not universal, that what’s considered a joke in English dialogue may not survive translation, and certain regions of the world find some films funnier than critics in other regions do. In fact, if the results had just been confined to critics from the US and Canada an entirely different film would have topped the list. It was largely because of the critics from Europe, East Asia and Latin America that Some Like It Hot was ultimately crowned number one. We hope this list will help comedy receive the artistic consideration it deserves. Or at the very least, that it will inspire you to discover films to put a smile on your face.

从其他角度看，这份榜单也颇具启示意义。男性和女性的喜剧口味基本类似，只有少量不同点：女性倾向于《独领风骚》，而男性更偏爱《动物屋》。有证据表明，喜剧并不具有普世性，把英语中的笑话 100.（并列）《喜剧之王》The King of Comedy (Martin Scorsese, 1982)
