**Note: semi-spoilers **
The AFI can say what it may - as far as I'm concerned, this IS the funniest single film ever made. Three scenes in particular stand out to me - the "autonomous collective", a scene that must be seen to be believed; the argument between the King of Swamp Castle and his son; and, as you can tell from my title, the Trojan Horse parody. Anarchic fun is the name of the game here. As for the ending, I didn't find it very impressive when I first saw the movie, but now, I see how well it fits with the overall scheme. A truly great comedy.
