9 Must-Watch Comedy Movies on Hulu Right Now (May 2026): ‘The Internship’ and More

Billy McMahon (Vince Vaughn) and Nick Campbell (Owen Wilson) are out of work and almost out of money. In desperation, they apply to be Google interns for the summer, and much to their surprise, they’re accepted. To secure full-time jobs at the tech giant, they’ll have to compete with their fellow interns to see who can show their bosses they have what it takes to make it at Google. That should be simple for old dogs like Billy and Nick, but when the latter starts to fall for executive Dana (Rose Byrne), their path to financial security becomes way too complicated.

Setting aside that the movie acts as one big commercial for Google and how amazing it is, The Internship is a genial comedy that showcases the comedic chemistry between leads Vaughn and Wilson that made their previous hit, Wedding Crashers, such a blast to watch. Byrne is a welcome presence as the level-headed Dana, and it’s a hoot to see the pushing 40 Billy compete in a game of Quidditch with pint-sized interns who are still in college.

Tough-talking NYPD cop Terry Holtz (Mark Wahlberg) doesn’t much care for his new partner, meek forensic accountant Allen Gamble (Will Ferrell). He’ll need his unlikely associate to solve the mysterious kidnapping of British billionaire David Ershon (Steve Coogan), though, and their forced partnership means chaos is sure to ensue. The case gets far more complicated than either man is comfortable with, and soon, they’re knee-deep in a conspiracy that involves their own department. Can this odd couple save the day, or will their difference doom them and the ones they care about the most?

Directed by Adam McKay, The Other Guys is a loving send-up of the buddy cop genre that gave birth to such classics as 48 Hrs. and Lethal Weapon. Wahlberg plays it straight, but that’s exactly what he needs to do to give co-star Ferrell something to work with. The SNL star is hilarious as a mild-mannered cop who hides a tough-guy personality not unlike Mel Gibson’s out-of-control Los Angeles enforcer, Martin Riggs. Eva Mendes shows up as Ferrell’s unusually beautiful wife, and she possesses a comedic flair she never really showed again.

Thanks to Stranger Things, 1980s nostalgia is here to stay. If you’re a fan of the decade that brought the world the Brat Pack, shoulder pads and big hair, then you’ll get a kick out of Take Me Home Tonight, a retro comedy that dials up the Reagan-era references and isn’t afraid to get down and dirty with its humor.

That ‘70s Show’s Topher Grace stars as Matt, a recent college graduate still figuring out what to do with his life. He hates his current job at a video store, but things perk up when he sees his high school crush, Tori (Teresa Palmer). Wanting to impress her, he lies to Tori and says he’s an investment banker at Goldman Sachs. Impressed, Tori invites him to a Labor Day party to cement their romance. With his twin sister Wendy’s help (Anna Faris), Matt thinks he can win Tori’s heart. But how long can he keep the truth from her?

Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion features Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow as best friends, Romy White and Michele Weinberger, respectively. Ten years ago, they were mercilessly bullied in high school by the likes of Christie Masters (Julia Campbell) and Billy Christianson (Vincent Ventresca). Now, their 10-year reunion has arrived, and both women are spectacularly unsuccessful.

Rather than let their failures in life keep them away, the two women decide to pretend to be successful and wealthy at the reunion. However, the trip brings out the worst in Romy and Michele, and their friendship may never be the same again.

Neighbors has been largely forgotten for decades, but this was the last film made by John Belushi before his death. It also reunited Belushi with his Blues Brothers costar, Dan Aykroyd, one last time as they essentially traded their comic personas. For this story, Belushi played the uptight Earl Keese and Aykroyd was the unhinged Victor “Vic” Zeck.

Earl’s life with his wife, Enid (Kathryn Walker), was uneventful until Vic and his wife, Ramona (Cathy Moriarty), moved in next door. Suddenly, things are getting too interesting in the neighborhood, and Earl openly distrusts the Zecks. But everyone around Earl thinks he’s overreacting to the new additions.

There’s Something About Mary was a comedy sensation nearly three decades ago, and it’s still pretty daring by modern standards. Cameron Diaz plays Mary Jensen, the dream woman of just about every guy she’s ever met. Ted Stroehmann (Ben Stiller) never got over his missed opportunity with her in high school, and it doesn’t take much convincing to get him to look her up.

The bad news for Ted is that Pat Healy (Matt Dillon), the private investigator he hired, has also fallen in love with Mary. And he’ll do anything to keep Ted and Mary apart. What Pat doesn’t know is that they’ve both got a lot of competition from the other men in Mary’s life.

Legal comedies are pretty rare, much less Oscar-winning legal comedies. My Cousin Vinny‘s greatest claim to fame is that Marisa Tomei won Best Supporting Actress for her fiery turn as Mona Lisa Vito. As much as she deserved it, this is also Joe Pesci‘s movie. He plays Vinny Gambini, an inexperienced personal injury lawyer who is forced to take up his first criminal defense case.

Vinny’s cousin, Bill Gambini (Ralph Macchio), and his friend, Stan Rothenstein (Mitchell Whitfield), are on trial for a murder they didn’t commit. In this environment, Vinny’s a fish out of water and a constant source of irritation to Judge Chamberlain Haller (Fred Gwynne). The film gets a lot of humor out of that relationship, but it’s also fairly accurate with its depiction of trials and laws. Lawyers love this movie, and so will you.

Code 3 is a very funny movie, but it’s got some serious dramatic moments as well. The Office‘s Rainn Wilson stars as Randy, a paramedic who is at the end of his rope after years of treating patients in the back of an ambulance alongside his driver, Mike (Lil Rel Howery).

On his final 24-hour shift, Randy is forced to let a medical student, Jessica (Aimee Carrero), join him in the back and get a first-hand look at what he dealt with every night on the job. There are times when the paramedics genuinely save lives and make a difference. But other moments test their resolve and sanity in the face of tragedy and despair.

Bullet Train is one of the few action comedies that equally excels at both parts of the equation. Brad Pitt stars as an assassin codenamed Ladybug who is rethinking his life choices. Ladybug’s assignment in Japan was supposed to be an easy job, and all he had to do was get on a high-speed bullet train and get off with a suitcase full of cash.

Much to Ladybug’s chagrin, the train is filled with other assassins who have their own agendas. Some of them want Ladybug dead. There’s a mysterious woman pulling the strings of these killers, and there’s nothing but trouble waiting for all of them at the end of the line.
