12 Must-Watch Comedy Movies on Hulu Right Now (June 2026): Will Ferrell’s ‘Get Hard’ and More

James King (Will Ferrell) is a hedge fund manager with a beautiful fiancée, Alissa (Alison Brie), and a tough boss, Martin (Craig T. Nelson), who just happens to be Alissa’s father. When James is arrested for fraud, his entire life implodes – Martin fires him, Alissa leaves him and he faces a 10-year stint in San Quentin. He has 30 days until he starts his prison sentence, so he hires Darnell Lewis (Kevin Hart) to help him prepare for life behind bars. Darnell doesn’t have a clue what it’s like to be a criminal, but he’ll have to fake it until he makes it or else he’ll lose $30,000 – and a shot at improving his daughter’s life.

Although it was made only 11 years ago, Get Hard wouldn’t get made today. Big-screen comedies are a rare breed, and the film’s tasteless jokes about race and homophobia aren’t that marketable or appealing in the post-woke era. Maybe that’s why Get Hard is better now than it was then. Some of its gags are so wrong, they’re right, and Ferrell and Hart have a good comedic chemistry with each other.

In 2008, North Meadows High School students Sunny (John Reynolds), Katie (Sofia Black-D’Elia) and the rest of their small class never finished senior year. They had a good reason – a massive tornado shut down their school. Eighteen years later, they’re asked to complete the final two weeks of their high school careers, or else they won’t be considered graduates. Now they’ll have to relive some of the worst adolescent nightmares, like overbearing teachers, toxic gossip and bitter rivals. I guess some things never change.

Never Change! takes everyone’s worst nightmare – going back to school as an adult – and wrings some pretty good jokes out of it. It’s not unlike Wet Hot American Summer, another comedy about grown adults behaving like children, and Never Change! shares that film’s oddball, envelope-pushing humor.

Drug rehab isn’t particularly funny, but in the hands of legendary American humorists Mike Nichols and Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher, it’s an opportunity to tell some very pointed jokes about Hollywood, mother/daughter relationships and, yes, the constant desire to swallow as many mind-altering substances you can get your hands on.

Suzanne Vale (Meryl Streep) is almost washed up as a second-generation actress, but she’s still working, albeit on a B-grade cop movie she has no respect for. It’s a good distraction from dealing with her mother, Doris Mann (Shirley MacLaine), who wants her to do well, just not better than her, and her situationship with Jack Faulkner (Dennis Quaid), a producer with wandering body parts. Suzanne wants to do well and be sober, but she has more problems than ever, and the way she’s dealt with tough times in the past is by doing drugs. Can she find the right balance and finally be happy?

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.
