Haha, reminds of a Simpsons joke. After Bart gets caught shoplifting, Homer is screaming at him and says. "We live in a society of laws. Why do you think I took you to all those Police Academy movies? For fun? Well, I didn't hear anybody laughing, did you?"

I haven't watched one of these movies in years. I remember laughing at a couple of characters in the movie but the actual funny situations, circumstances didn't seem to do much for me

High tower and the guy with the magnum (i forget his name)

They were funny when I was 10 years of age.

The first one was awesome, the rest not so much.

 

[DragonWoLf]

all still hilarious by my count

Some are very good, the bit where the police guy takes off his uniform and ends up walking into the Blue Oyster bar

Only funny at the time dont go back they have not aged well.

 

[Snakedoctor]

The first was okish, the rest were simply a cringeworthy rehash of the first.

 

[Calabi]

I'm ashamed to admit, I did find some of them funny.

 

[SixTwoSix]

First few were definately funny...the latter ones just make me cringe...Jones is priceless

 

[Snookray]

I've not seen these films in a long time, the guy who did all the sound effects was hilarious.

Love them (apart from 7 which really is bad), but I grew up watching them which is probably why I still like them. I wouldn't expect anyone watching them for the first time now to like them.

I actually bought the first one on DVD a few months ago, and found it mildly amusing (although possibly not as amusing as my brother trying to pretend he didn't know me at the checkout).

Easy to watch as they're entertaining and light hearted, but funny-funny? not really.

The voice man is the only funny thing about those films!

^^

Even then, the only actor I found funny was the one that made the weird noises.

Larvelle Jones in the film apparantly or Michael Winslow as he is better known, got to agree, he was clearly the funniest thing about any of the films. Aside of course from wondering how far they were going to try and push what is essentially a one trick pony of a film idea.
