Bad Santa - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0307987/

A miserable conman and his partner pose as Santa and his Little Helper to rob department stores on Christmas Eve. But they run into problems when the conman befriends a troubled kid, and the security boss discovers the plot.

Some absolutely classic sequences in this film especially the dialogue between Billy Bob Thornton and the Little kid.

Here's a great scene:

Bob Chipeska is a manager at the store they are working at. He's pulled them in the office for a discussion.
Willie is Billy Bob Thornton.

Marcus: It won't happen again. I can promise you that. Willie here has low blood sugar. That's all.
Willie: That's right. I forgot to take my pill.
Bob Chipeska: It's not just the swearing. Forgive me for prying, but did one of you, um, fornicate...
Willie: Fornicate?
Bob Chipeska: Yes. With a heavy-set woman in the big-and-tall dressing room?
Willie: Look, I've boned a lot of fat chicks in my time, sure. But, as far back as I can remember, I've never fornicated anybody.
Bob Chipeska: Yes... Well, even still, I think it's best for all parties considered if we...
Marcus: If we what?
Bob Chipeska: Well, I have somebody else interested in the position.
Willie: Before you do something stupid you might want to think about this ****.
Bob Chipeska: What are you talking about?
Willie: I'm talking about firing a little black midget. A small, colored, African-American small person. That's what I'm talking about. I'm talking about your face all over goddamn USA Today, that's what I'm talking about. I'm talking about 150 of these little mother ******* all over the sidewalk out there. Holding picket signs and using bullhorns and **** like that. Screaming and hollering your name out. Unfair practices, get me?
Bob Chipeska: Oh no, this is not a handicapped thing. I have nothing against you people.
Willie: You people? Did you hear that Marcus? He said 'You People.'
Marcus: Who the hell is us people?
Bob Chipeska: No... He said... But... what... No no. Um, I think it's best if we just forget we had this conversation.
Willie: Good thinking. And don't worry about us. We'll be fine. Let's get the hell out of here Marcus.
[Willie and Marcus get up to leave as Willie turns back to Bob]
Willie: You're pathetic.

Another good scene :p this should set the scene for what you'll be in for!

Full of swearing!!! Big Kev

Infact, this reminds me. If you do decide to go for this film, make sure you get 'Badder Santa'. It's an uncut version of the film and FAR superior to the original release. I remember watching 'Badder Santa' without knowing it was an uncut version, then watched the normal version a bit later and I couldn't believe the amount of funny scenes they removed. 'Badder Santa' is the only way to watch this movie.

Bad Santa is a great film. However from the films you've listed you sound like you might like Will Ferrell films so maybe Blades Of Glory or Talledega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby might suit (I've not watched either) or alternatively The 40 Year Old Virgin.

Watching Bad Santa now, and this film looks terrible.

And whilst watching your sat posting on a forum? That's really the attention it deserves and already you're giving dis-service to the film in doing so.

You'll be missing out on the little nuances that happen and taking in 10% rather than 100% of the film. Ahh well, your loss :D

I don't quite think my random post really did that now. ;)

I have to say it's not as bad as I thought it would be. The middle and end were ok. Nothing amazing, but the dwarf's dialogue was funny in places.

Clerks 2
Borat
Juno (Funny bit in a more bohemian way.)
Knocked Up (Heck, anything with Seth Rogan is generally quite good. :p)
Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Kung Fu Panda (Animation but fantastic all the same).
Role Models

- Anything with Steve Carrell or Will Farrell in are generally good.

That'll do pig, that'll do.
