Meet the Parents knocked off by Jim Carey's Irene almost as insane as Spaceballs advancing past Raising Arizona.
Stifler drinking his buddies juice was classic comedy, but not enough to get past Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School. Other 1st round battles included losses by Road Trip and City Slickers.
Round Two:
Christmas Story knocks off #1 seeded Planes, Trains, and Automobiles... Fletch over Trading Places... 16 Candles defeats My Blue Heaven... The Wedding Singer past 3 Amigos... Fast Times gets by The Jerk... Caddyshack rolls past Ghostbusters... Tommy Boy ousts Irene... Spaceballs shocks cult classic Office Space...

Another #1 seed Stripes falls to Christmas Vacation... History of the World advances past Strange Brew... Bachelor Party moves by Harry Met Sally... Waynes World excellently over Blazing Saddles... Animal House dunks Young Frankenstein...  Holy Grail defeats Back to School... Pet Detective shocks Ferris Buehler... Airplane checks Slapshot...
This 1984 film did nothing at the Box Office.  Shortly after though, it caught fire on cable TV and has been a staple during the holidays ever since.  "You'll shoot your eye out with that thing!"
Round Three:
Christmas Story again over Fletch ~ Wedding Singer by 16 Candles ~ Caddyshack defeats Fast Times ~ Tommy Boys run continues over Spaceballs ~ Christmas Vacation past History of the World ~ Waynes World over Bachelor Party ~ Animal House beats The Holy Grail ~ Pet Detective shocks Airplane
Christmas Vacation knocks off Waynes World ~ Animal House ends Pet Detective ~ Christmas Story bests the Wedding Singer ~ Tommy Boy upsets Caddyshack
Road to the Final Four:
Tommy Boy rocks Christmas Story
Animal House defeats Lampoon's Christmas Vacastion

Animal House is voted the top comedy by defeating Tommy Boy
