Have you seen Airplane! Or The Naked Gun series? Those have some hilarious moments..
“Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffin’ glue!”
They said “uncommon”
The same guys also made Top Secret!, which I adore just about as much as those.

I've seen Airplane recently and really liked it. I loved The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear was pretty good. Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult is in my VERY long list of movies to watch. (300 and counting.)
If you've seen airplane! I would recommend popstar: never stop never stopping. I think that movie has as many jokes shoved in it as Airplane!
I don't think that movie was a hit at the time of its release, but it still holds up.
Big Trouble in Little China! Great 80's action comedy with Kurt Russell and Kim Cattrall. Drink every time Kurt's character asks a question. Lmao.
Its definitely one of my favourite movies ever. Very chill and funny.

The Life of Brian - no idea if it is "uncommon" but I haven't seen it being mentioned anywhere in ages. It has a weird and macabre but enjoyable mix of super dry English humor, whacky sillyness and actual satire, while still managing to tell a coherent story.
Have you guys heard of this super underrated and obscure comedy group from the UK? They call themselves Monty Python.
Life of Brian isn't uncommonly known by anyone, it's still widely regarded as the greatest comedy movie ever made. That's no small feat after 50+ years, considering it is just as brilliant now as it was then.
If you want more uncommonly known Python, go for Meaning of Life (out of the three main films it's the odd one out).
Why not go trough the complete Monty's enzyklo Pythonia?
Mony Puthon and teh Holy Grain is epic. Saw it at elementary school ages ago (early 80s) and was looking for iit for ages. (Not speaking English yet, Imtotally forgot the title) Still need to watch Jabberwocky.
When done, Black Adder's Christmas Carol is a belter as well. (The serie is nice as well, as id Red Dwarf)
I's add Idiocracy and Don't look up as well, but alas, both are documentaries by now. :(
For car fanatics, the Taxi series is nice as well.
"Orgazmo"? Think it's South Park creator's first movie together. Story of a Mormon who goes into porn to pay for his dream wedding.
"Toc toc" is a funny Spanish comedy. Revolves around a group of people waiting in a doctor's office and each one has a different type of OCD. Think it might work on a subtitle level too, but definitely funnier if you understand Spanish.
"Carnage". Two sets of parents try to resolve an altercation between their children, and it just slowly descends into madness.
Cannibal: The Musical (by the South Park guys) is great, too. It's crazy low budget because I believe it was their film school project, but still quality. And the music is great. The main theme (Shpadoinkle) is the jingle that plays after the credits of every South Park episode.
Edit: oh, and Jesus and I love you.
The Hudsucker Proxy.
You know, for the kids.
Death to Smoochy.
Robin Williams plays an established children's entertainer and Edward Norton's character is an up-and-coming performer.

I would say black dynamite or tucker and Dale vs evil
Office Space, not exactly uncommon but not talked about that much these days and still relevant.

Tucker and Dale Vs Evil is one of my favorites, might not be quite uncommon but people tend not to know it when I bring it up.
I rarely see Mystery Men mentioned these days. Don't even see memes from it anymore.
I love that movie. I showed it to my boys. When Paul Reuben died, they didn't remember him from Pee Wee Herman (which we somehow never got to showing them). They remembered him as "that farting guy on Mystery Men."
(He passed gas near a gypsy and tried to blame it on her. To take her revenge, she cursed him. Since he smelt it, he would forever be the one that dealt it!)
Hudson Hawk. Bruce Willis plays an ex con cat burglar who gets caught up in a scheme between a mega corp, the CIA, and the Vatican to steal Davinci's gold making machine.

Quick Change. It's full of big stars (Bill Murray, Randy Quaid, Geena Davis, Jason Roberts) but I never hear people talk about it. I find it pretty funny.
Hamlet 2. There are some problematic things in it, that haven’t aged so great, but it is otherwise amazingly funny.
Balls Out: Gary The Tennis Coach (best film with Seann William Scott as lead imo)
Dirty Work
Palm Springs on Hulu (flew under the radar for most people I know)
Vice Principals (TV show)
Almost Heros
Came to say Dirty Work. It might be the only movie with Norm MacDonald as the lead. My friends and I still quote that one from time to time.
Absolutely love it! And so quotable!
I emulated it after seeing it as a kid in a revenge-prank business at school (worst thing I did was put fire ants in a kid's desk to get back for bullying).
Years back, as soon as the CEO business came out in GTA online, I immediately claimed "Dirty Work Inc." as my business name!
Definitely one of my favorite movies.

Black dynamite is amazingly funny. A satirical 70s action/crime movie
Btw its written by michael jai white. And he is making a new movie.. "outlaw johnny black" where he plays a cowboy/gunslinger. I am looking forward to it
Without A Clue
Enjoyable take on Sherlock Holmes with Ben Kingsley as Watson, who is the real genius, but creates a character for his stories, and hires an actor to play Sherlock Holmes, played by Michael Cain. Never got the attention it should have, with two fabulous actors and a clever script, plus music by Henry Mancini.
It’s one of those movies that we watch again and again.
It’s a mad mad mad mad world.
The big W!
Tampopo is pretty great, and, I feel, pretty obscure as well.
don't know how good the dub is, but Lammbock is the best stoner movie i've ever seen.
Did you like Half-Baked? Dazed and Confused? Big Lebowski?
Pineapple Express… he gets the snickelfritz

Surf Ninjas
A Dog's Breakfast
Hank and Mike.
In a world where being an Easter bunny is a corporate gig. Two bunnies find themselves suddenly unemployed and must try their hand at other jobs. It's live action with people in bunny suits. Alot more entertaining than it sounds and full of funny debauchery.
"Who is killing the great chefs of Europe" If you ever want to see great European humor akin to monty python's stuff this would be one! Grab some bugles cause it's a good one
I don’t know that it’s all that obscure, but with Halloween coming up you should see Tucker and Dale vs Evil if you haven’t already. It’s a role reversal of the teens in the woods trope. Two redneck buddies (Tyler Labine and Alan Tudyk) are renovating a hunting cabin when they save a young woman who knocks herself unconscious in the lake. Her friends think the rednecks are creepy killers and proceed to attack the two in an attempt to save their friend. The teens end up accidentally killings themselves one by one all over the rednecks’ property scaring the hell out of everyone involved, and that’s just the beginning.
Kingpin
Mystery Team, a child detective agency but the trio are in highschool and they decide to solve a murder.
Crimewave. Many have not heard of it. It's problematic in parts.
Writers: Coen Brothers. Director: Sam Raimi.
Yep.
