That’s why this month, Watch With Us is highlighting three underrated comedies that you can watch on Amazon Prime Video.
First up is The To Do List, an irreverent sex comedy starring Aubrey Plaza. We’ve also got The Greasy Strangler, which is an absurd horror-comedy that may test the strength of your stomach. Finally, we’ve picked The Foot Fist Way, in which Danny McBride stars as a unique Taekwondo instructor.
Read on to see why these films are worth your time in November 2025.
Amazon Prime Video didn’t add any new or classic comedy shows to its lineup in October. That kind of slowdown isn’t unusual, especially near the end of a year. But Prime Video does have a deep bench of comedy shows that go back decades. Thank You! You have successfully subscribed. Subscribe to newsletters Please enter […]
‘The To Do List’ (2013)
On the cusp of the summer of 1993, uptight high school valedictorian Brandy Klark (Plaza) decides she needs to change up her image before she gets to college. Having missed out on most forms of intimacy during high school due to her investment in her studies, she creates a list of all the sex acts she wants to accomplish that summer. Finding herself in over her head, she enlists the help of friends and co-workers to aid her in getting through her extensive “to-do list.”
The To Do List is anchored by a very funny — and committed — performance from Plaza, but the cast is filled out by a fantastic ensemble of comedy players, including Andy Samberg, Bill Hader, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Ali Shawkat. If you’re looking for a thoughtful meditation on female sexuality, you won’t really get it here. But The To Do List succeeds as a goofy and extremely watchable sex comedy that will entertain the whole way through.
Rent The To Do List now on Prime Video.
‘The Greasy Strangler’ (2016)
Ronnie (Michael St. Michaels) lives with his adult son, Brayden (Sky Elobar), who has dreams of becoming a space fantasy author, while Ronnie runs a disco-themed walking tour in their town. When a beautiful woman named Janet (Elizabeth De Razzo) takes the tour, both men become infatuated with her, which creates a competition between father and son for Janet’s attention. At the same time, an oil-covered serial killer known as the “Greasy Strangler” begins terrorizing the streets by night.
The Greasy Strangler isn’t for everyone — it’s a mix of absurdist humor combined with the low taste of John Waters and some of the practical, gross-out body horror you might see in a David Cronenberg movie — although there are no human-to-fly transformations. Still, even if the movie doesn’t work for you, it is a unique and compellingly made work of a singular vision that is unlike basically any other movie you might see right now.

‘The Foot Fist Way’ (2008)
Fred Simmons (McBride) is an arrogant but hapless Taekwondo instructor, more interested in trying to impress than in actually teaching his students. However, things become dire for Fred when he learns that his wife, Suzie (Mary Jane Bostic), cheated on him with her boss. In an effort to boost his self-esteem and reclaim his manhood, he attends a martial arts expo so that he can meet his idol: B-movie action star Chuck “The Truck” Wallace (Ben Best). However, Fred’s reality is shattered when he realizes his idol is a scumbag.
Comedy films get slept on by audiences way too often. It doesn’t help that theatrical releases for comedy films are nowhere near their heyday, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t funny films, both new and old, that still deserve your attention. This month, Watch With Us is highlighting three underrated comedies that you can watch […]
Jody Hill‘s directorial debut isn’t quite as sure-footed as his follow-up, Observe and Report, but it’s a funny and fascinating low-budget look at toxic masculinity, led by a great Danny McBride, who is only still feeling out the loud-mouthed persona that would come to define his work in TV and movies. Nevertheless, The Foot Fist Way still sings with its biting insults and cringe humor.
Rent The Foot Fist Way now on Prime Video.
