A website called LoveFilm.com has determined that "Airplane!" is the Funniest Film Ever, because it has the MOST LAUGHS PER MINUTE.  Seriously, these guys actually calculated the laughs per minute of a bunch of comedies.  Obviously, that's subjective in itself.   Not everyone's going to be amused by LESLIE NIELSEN saying, "I am serious . . . and don't call me Shirley", after all.

But according to LoveFilm, "Airplane!" contains THREE laughs per minute.

"The Hangover" finished a close second with 2.4 laughs per minute.

Another Leslie Nielsen classic, "The Naked Gun", came in THIRD with 2.3.
