Which of these movies made you bust a gut?

In the tattoo world, pop culture tattoos are exceptionally common. In fact, many artists exclusively specialize in tattoos inspired by movies and television shows. One of the most popular genres that we see depicted in tattooing is horror, as evidenced by the thousands of Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger tattoos floating around. However, this isn’t the only movie genre that tattoo collectors love.

Comedy is one of the most popular genres according to box office sales. And some of our favorite movies of all time belong to comedy. These films include legendary performances by world-renowned performers such as Will Ferrell, Jim Carey, Robin Williams, Adam Sandler, Bill Murray and numerous other acclaimed actors. They take us on wild and wacky adventures, giving us some of the most famous quotes in all of Hollywood history. Take a peek at 50 tattoos inspired by 50 of the best comedies of all time in the gallery below. Then let us know your favorite comedy movie from this list in the comments section on social media.
