At the start of the year, the IFOP revealed the ranking of the ten favorite comedies of the French. So, which of Louis de Funès or the Splendid takes first place? What level is The Visitors at and which film you love is missing?

The new year has come, and with it, the desire to make good resolutions, but also to compose lists and other rankings on the small and big screens. And while awards season has well and truly launchednotably with the Golden Globes which delivered their numerous awards during the 82nd edition of the event, on the night of January 5 to 6, France is not left out.

Before the traditional Caesar which will take place this year on February 28, 2025France wanted to highlight comedy through an IFOP survey. Ordered by Paris Matchthis constituted the ranking of the ten favorite comedies of the French. A top 10 composed only French films, and above all dominated by the great classics. And if the rank of certain titles will perhaps surprise you, the presence, and especially the absence of other monuments of the seventh art, may also surprise you. But then, who comes in first place?

A little something extra is already in the ranking

Obviously in a good place in this top 10, we find Visitors who takes 7th placein front Cabbage soup in 10th position, The Gendarme of Saint-Tropez in 9, and Welcome to the Ch'tis in 8. Yes the majority of comedies in the ranking were released before the 2000sthe new kid A little something extradirected by Artus and released in 2024, arrives with a bang since it takes 6th place.

Louis de Funès and the Splendid dominate!

And if the troop of Splendid appears twice in this topIn Santa Claus is trash classified in 4, and Tanned people go skiing who won the silver medal, he is a king of humor who seems unbeatable: Louis de Funès!

Yes! Louis de Funès largely dominates this ranking sincehe is present in no less than half of the feature films, and obtains first place with the cult The Big Mopreleased in 1966 and which, after reaching the top of the French box office for 40 years, remains the favorite film of the French public!
