The Best Comedy Movies on Paramount+ Right Now (October 2026)

By Matt Oakes · October 26, 2026

Paramount+ is better known for Star Trek and Taylor Sheridan than for laughs, but its comedy library hides some real gems. These are the ones worth your time, led by Magic Mike XXL, The Wolf of Wall Street, and Parasite, each a film I’ve reviewed or ranked among the best of its year.

Every pick links to where it’s streaming, and the list gets refreshed as titles come and go.

Critics and Audience scores from Rotten Tomatoes; ratings from IMDb. Scores as of October 2026.

MAGIC MIKE XXL (2015)

66%Critics 55%Audience 5.6IMDb

Mike hears Ginuwine’s “Pony,” his call to action in whomping audio form, pump through the radio waves and helplessly breaks into a loft-wide freestyle dance. He’s sliding on chairs, grinding metal down to sparks and, obviously, disrobing (for an empty room). Magic Mike XXL thrives on the basis of over-the-top scene work like this.▶ Streaming on Paramount+ · Read the full review

THE WOLF OF WALL STREET (2013)

79%Critics 83%Audience 8.2IMDb

Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jordan Belfort cons his way into a fortune and a mountain of drugs in the 1990s. Martin Scorsese’s three-hour bacchanal is a riotous, damning comedy, and DiCaprio’s Quaalude crawl is an all-timer. Jonah Hill and Margot Robbie both shine in an ensemble working at full tilt.▶ Streaming on Paramount+ · Read the full review

PARASITE (2019)

99%Critics 90%Audience 8.5IMDb

Like a rival organism depleting its host, Parasite may lay waste to the mind but it nests in the soul, lingering with the viewer long after its conclusion. Bong Joon-ho’s masterful and indefinable parable is a creation of layer upon layer of storytelling skill matched to standout technical prowess across the board. An easy contender for best film of 2019.▶ Streaming on Paramount+ · Read the full review

THE LEGO MOVIE (2014)

96%Critics 87%Audience 7.7IMDb

Cross the delectable ratio of genuine belly laughs with the crafty visual palette and Miller and Lord deserve a hearty pat on the back. Congratulations guys, you’ve made the best animated film. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller turn a toy commercial into a subversive, wildly funny comedy, and “Everything Is Awesome” is impossible to shake.▶ Streaming on Paramount+ · Read the full review

22 JUMP STREET (2014)

84%Critics 77%Audience 7.0IMDb

Schmidt and Jenko go undercover at college, and the movie spends its entire runtime gleefully mocking the very idea of a sequel. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s meta comedy is even funnier than the first, and Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum’s chemistry is the whole engine.▶ Streaming on Paramount+ · Read the full review

JACKASS PRESENTS: BAD GRANDPA (2013)

Johnny Knoxville, buried under old-man prosthetics, takes his “grandson” on a cross-country road trip and pranks a very real America along the way. It’s the rare Jackass spinoff with an actual story, and the beauty-pageant finale is an all-timer.▶ Streaming on Paramount+ · Read the full review

ROOFMAN (2025)

87%Critics 85%Audience 6.9IMDb

Channing Tatum is great as a charming criminal on the lamb in this surprisingly crowd-pleasing crime dramedy from Derek Cianfrance. Roofman may not be his most heavy-hitting feature but it shows a director willing to experiment with not always taking himself so seriously, and delivering something quite pleasant in the process.▶ Streaming on Paramount+ · Read the full review

THE NAKED GUN (2025)

88%Critics 72%Audience 6.3IMDb

Spoof comedy is back, and the unlikely team of writer-director Akiva Schaffer with stars Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson might just be the chaotic salve modern comedy desperately needed. By singularly focusing on delivering as many laughs as possible, many of them very, very dumb, The Naked Gun pulls no punches. It honors the original while making room for a new version of this kind of comedy to exist again. I laughed a lot.▶ Streaming on Paramount+ · Read the full review

JACKASS FOREVER (2022)

Jackass Forever is the same stupid buffoonery that it’s always been, and it’s still just as scatologically funny. Johnny Knoxville and crew are older and slower to heal but somehow even more committed, and the new recruits fit right in.▶ Streaming on Paramount+ · Read the full review

MEAN GIRLS (2024)

The musical version of Tina Fey’s teen classic brings the Plastics back to North Shore High with new songs and a new generation of burn books. Reneé Rapp is a commanding Regina George, and the jokes still land even when the musical numbers don’t.▶ Streaming on Paramount+ · Read the full review

MACHETE KILLS (2013)

Danny Trejo’s Machete is recruited by the president to stop a madman with a missile, and it only gets sillier from there. Robert Rodriguez’s grindhouse sequel is gleefully dumb and loaded with cameos, from Mel Gibson to Lady Gaga.▶ Streaming on Paramount+ · Read the full review

HORRIBLE BOSSES 2 (2014)

Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis start their own business, get screwed by an investor (Christoph Waltz), and plot to kidnap his son (Chris Pine). It’s a looser, rowdier sequel, and Pine walks off with the whole movie.▶ Streaming on Paramount+ · Read the full review

BABYLON (2022)

Damien Chazelle’s three-hour bacchanal charts Hollywood’s chaotic leap from silents to talkies through a starlet (Margot Robbie), a fading leading man (Brad Pitt), and a dreamer (Diego Calva) chasing his way in. It’s excessive, exhausting, and frequently dazzling, a love letter to the movies written in blood, booze, and worse.▶ Streaming on Paramount+

DON JON (2013)

Joseph Gordon-Levitt writes, directs, and stars as a Jersey bro whose porn habit gets in the way of his romance with Scarlett Johansson’s rom-com-obsessed dream girl. It’s a sharp, funny debut about the fantasies we confuse for intimacy, with Julianne Moore stealing the back half.▶ Streaming on Paramount+ · Read the full review
