Recently, our buddies at Brobible.com constructed a pretty impressive list of the ‘Top 350+ Must-Have Movies for Every Man Cave.’  Between watching over 350 movies and bumping chests, where did they find the time to create such a list?

But that’s neither here nor there. The real issue with this list is that, after intensely reviewing it (and wasting a good hour of my day that could have been spent shaving my legs…which really need it), it seems that a lot of “dude movies” that bros hold near and dear to their mustachioed hearts are really just chick flicks in disguise!

Yes, behind all the fart jokes, drug trafficking, and occasional airborne Porsches, these flicks are basically muscled up girl movies.

Which also means the entire issue was sealed securely in a package so you can’t even look inside until you buy it. Naturally, I ripped that bad boy open immediately upon arriving home, grabbed a Pop Tart from my parents’ cupboard and got reading. Of course the most beautiful women on the planet (e.g. Blake Lively, Bar Refaeli, Eva Mendes, Marisa Miller, Katy Perry and many, many more) were sprawled out inside.  I looked at my Pop Tart in agony and kept reading. For reasons unknown to the minds behind the list, Stephanie Pratt was also included. Maybe they felt bad about her blood relation to abominable snowman Spencer Pratt and his crystal fetish.

Other articles in the June issue included ’3 Rules for the Perfect Haircut’ which matched the man’s face shape with the perfect cut. Kinda cute. Another article featured a ‘how to’ on cooking a gourmet meal with what you have lying around in your body. I’m not kidding; it included ‘Hot Foaming Pee’ as the drink of choice. It’s OK, I’m a bit freaked out and don’t get it either.

Finally, my favorite article found its place in my heart called ‘You May Kiss the Bridesmaid.’  It is what it sounds like, folks: a guide to pull a Vince Vaughn/Owen Wilson from Wedding Crashers.  The article features what to say when picking up chicks at a wedding. Rule #1: Never leave a fellow crasher behind.  I could giggle at Wedding Crashers quotes all day long but let’s look at what Maxim had to say:

Maxim Says: To hot, single bridesmaid: “Being a bridesmaid seems tough! Wanna go smoke this joint that has just enough weed for two people?”
Brittany Says: I feel like Michael Scott would say something like this to try and look super cool. And it wouldn’t work.

Maxim Says: To the Catering girl: “Do you have any extra helpings of meat? No? Do you want one?”
Brittany Says: Oh dear. The classic pick-up line regarding meat. Because (haha!) they don’t mean, like, the meat on the silver platter! They mean…the other white meat. How clever! Do you see my point? No one is going to be flattered, gentlemen, or turned on.

Maxim Says: To the nondenominational wedding officiant: “How ’bout I make like Pontius Pilate and nail you?”
Brittany Says: Can I admit on here that I actually laughed at this? Then, my conciseness sucker punched me. If you want to snag this particular wedding attendee of your dreams get punched in the throat, this will work wonders.

Maxim Says: To the former high school crush: “Remember ninth-grade biology? Ha-ha-ha, let’s have sex.”
Brittany Says: Remember when you didn’t go to college and currently live with your parents? Ha-ha-ha, let’s not.

Yeah, that’s right, I said it. I am over them.

Okay, so I’ll always have a weakness for super hot abs (I’m looking at you, RPatz), but I would much rather spend my time with the new class of men out there. I call them the Hunky Beefy Boys and they are redefining what it means for men to be sexy. And I like it.

Thanks to the new comedians out there in Hollywood, charming is in and hot is out. Comedians like Jason Segel, Vince Vaughn, Seth Rogen, and Will Ferrell are now considered Hollywood’s sexiest. Whereas women wouldn’t give guys like them a fighting chance before, these guys are now making the girls swoon.

So maybe they don’t have washboard stomachs or chiseled cheek bones but they have charm, wit, and a sense of humor that make them completely irresistible. And they are all perfectly hunky beefy: tall with a little more cushion for the pushin’, but still fit and mouth-watering.

Traditional hotties of the past like George Clooney, Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt are still sexy, obvs, but they are starting to fall by the wayside for these new guys who have something more than an Abercrombie smile.

So what is it exactly that has us melting like a pat of butter into their husky hands?

Their Humor/Wit/Pure Awesomeness: Honestly, who wouldn’t want to spend time with someone that can literally make your sides hurt with laughter? Any guy can be sweet, but not all guys can be funny. Plus, laughing contracts your ab muscles, so keeping these men around means a much more toned and defined mid-section (legit).

Their Effort in Bed: Most of these non-traditional sexy men don’t have the perfect face and body of the traditional hot men of women’s fantasies. Unlike someone like George Clooney, who just has to look at a woman to get her in bed, these guys have to work for a girl’s attention. And work hard. And what does that mean? It means they’re all about the giving in bed. Which works out well for all of the takers out there. Mainly, me.

Their Charm: Every girl wants a guy that her friends and family can love. A pretty face can only last so long, but a great personality and charm will last forever. Work function, a friend’s party, or a relative’s wedding? These men will not only be fine on their own when you beeline to the bathroom, but will probably be the hit of whatever crowd they’re a part of. Their confidence (and dance moves…thank you, Wedding Crashers) is utterly irresistible to anyone and everyone.

Their Bear Hugs: Nothing feels better than a guy who can wrap his arms around you and make you feel warm and safe. Well, nothing besides a guy who can pick you up and hold you against a wall during sexy time. And, let’s be real, those tall, hunky frames are perfect for snuggle-time too.

So guys, if you’re reading this, don’t worry if you’re no James Dean. Just charm us and make us giggle; you’ll be on your way to sex symbol in no time.

It’s no secret that I have a soft spot for Aussies, and the lovely Isla Fisher is no exception. Even if she’s a lady.

While the Australian accent is always a turn-on, what really gets me weak in the knees is someone who can make me laugh…and matzoh ball soup.

Isla, then, is perfect for me. The woman has to have a sense of humor – she’s engaged to Sacha Baron Cohen, after all.  And, after three years, she has successfully pulled a “Charlotte” and converted to Judaism for her man.

Oy vay.

But Isla was around long before she started celebrating Hanukkah with her guy. She was a child actor on popular Australian television shows way before she graced us with her presence alongside Freddie Prinze Jr. in Scooby Doo.  Since then, she’s come a long way. Her role as the crazy sex fiend sister in Wedding Crashers won her a Breakthrough Performance award at the MTV Movie Awards and, more recently, she was in Definitely, Maybe and lent her voice to Horton Hears a Who.

A hot Australian who also does cartoons? Be still my heart.

Isla Fisher is as hot as her fiery red hair.  In 2008 she was #61 on Maxim’s Hot 100. And despite being near naked in that little photo spread, the woman’s fashion sense is what gets me riled up.  I’m jealous of all the fashion-forward outfits created for her character in Confessions of a Shopaholic, not that I could afford them. But what I can afford is Isla’s laid back style that’s easy to  imitate (even on a starving student’s budget). Now if only I could get my hair that color…

Isla is living proof that you can have it all.  She has a successful career, a fiance who she obviously hearts (she spent 3 years converting for him!), and an adorable daughter – not to mention she looks stunning while doing it all. I’m totally crushing on Isla Fisher.

I’m gonna say it: I’m a big sap. Especially when it comes to puppies. There’s something about big, soulful puppy eyes that makes me squeal like a four-year-old. And all that cuddly fur. And those widdle, widdle paws…

But what’s cuter than puppies? Guys who love puppies. A dude who’s totally into playing around with man’s best friend is always effable in my book, cuz you know what? Chances are he’ll be equally as affectionate when he’s rubbing your belly and scratching your back. Prime example: Owen Wilson. His new film Marley and Me opens Christmas Day, and you can bet your (rawhide) bones my butt will be in attendance to see him (and his pup) shake their tails.

It’s not like I needed a cutesy dog movie to want to eff Owen Wilson, though. He has been very high on my radar ever since he appeared in The Royal Tenenbaums, which he co-wrote! (Since he’s a writer, and I’m a writer, clearly we are soulmates. Clearly.) As an actor, he’s been able to master all different varieties of comedy, from the subtlety he expressed in The Royal Tenenbaums to the full-on goofiness of Wedding Crashers. Emotional range is so effable.

Oh, and lets not forget that Owen’s sexiness definitely runs in the family. Score with him and you could count among your buddies his brothers Luke and Andrew, too. Mr. Wilson has been romantically linked to Kate Hudson and, most recently, Jennifer Aniston. I take it he likes blondes. Okay, O, if you ever want to jump ship and get to know eff a brunette, please call me!

Until then, I’ll settle for some effable photos and my vivid fantasies.

Call me crazy, but I’m bored with college guys. It’s just that they’re…guys. I want to have fun, but is it so much to want to party with a real man? Is there anyone out there who can be mature when he needs to be, but still laugh at my potty humor? I used to think I’d never get my wish, but then Vince Vaughn came into my life.

Let’s think back for a moment to Wedding Crashers. I remember seeing that movie for the first time and thinking, “Where’d Vince Vaughn come from? Hellooooo hottie!” He dropped in on my fantasies as quickly and suavely as he did the Cleary wedding. He was sublimely clever in devising wedding crashing rules, and was equally as impressive with his devotion to the cause. Major bonus points (or shall I say, effability points?) for fidelity.

Vaughn emerged as a major comedic force among the likes of Will Ferrell, the Wilson brothers, and Steve Carell, particularly in the earlier release, Old School. Since then, he’s shown his multi-faceted (yet always effable) dating persona in The Break-Up with Jennifer Aniston, whom he subsequently dated. Their relationship was major tabloid fodder while it lasted, but now he’s been linked to Ugly Betty star, Vanessa Williams.

Never fear! Though he may appear to be off the market, Vince’s effable self will still be featured prominently in the new comedy Four Christmases with Reese Witherspoon. After watching that trailer, I know I’ll be asking Santa for a chance to eff Vince this holiday season!

There are virtually no female comedic ensembles who can sell movies like these guys can.

In the stand-up circuit, men generally receive the biggest reception. Recently, I went to a stand-up comedy review that featured twenty comics in one night. Of those twenty, only three women took the stage. Three. WTF?

Women are pretty damn funny, so why don’t we get the same appraisal as men get? Films like Old School put the Frat Pack on the map, while the hysterical chick flick The Sweetest Thing flopped at the box office. The Wedding Crashers cast has people rolling in the aisles, while far too many people have never seen Christina Applegate, Cameron Diaz, and Selma Blair sing The Penis Song.

I took this assignment to cover the 5 Funniest Women out there, but quickly realized there is just too much talent to narrow it down so far. That said, what follows is my personal list of five of the wittiest women in the world, along with some honorable mentions. I welcome feedback, comments, and nominations, because I’m sure I’ve missed some ladies that can more than keep up with the boys.

1. Tina Fey

Tina Fey is one of my personal icons, and I give her kudos for becoming Saturday Night Live’s first female head writer. Fey’s writing has earned her a 2001 Writers Guild of America Award for SNL’s 25th anniversary special as well as a 2002 Emmy for the show.

Tina’s script for Mean Girls is distinctive from teen movies in the vein of Can’t Hardly Wait thanks to its satiric critique of high school. I don’t care how old I get; I will probably always find a way to greet someone with “Jambo!”, or a way to work, “Your mom’s chest hair” into a heated argument. Of course, let’s not forget her more recent work on Emmy Award-winning 30 Rock and Baby Mama.

One of my favorite recent Tina Fey bits is the Bitch is the New Black segment from Fey’s recent SNL hosting gig.

2. Wanda Sykes

Some people might equate the sound of Sykes’ voice to nails on a chalkboard, but I think this trait makes her stand out. A longtime colleague of Chris Rock, Sykes served on the writing team for The Chris Rock Show, which was nominated for four Emmys, winning one in 1999. I appreciate Sykes’ ability to add hilarity and sass to supporting roles in films such as Pootie Tang and Down to Earth.

On a personal note, I’ve seen Wanda Sykes’ stand up, and it can hold its own against the likes of male phenom, Chris Rock.

3. Margaret Cho

I think that Margaret Cho is one of the most underrated comedians out there. Her stand up career led to opening acts for Seinfeld and spots on a Bob Hope special and The Arsenio Hall Show. Though she won the American Comedy Award for Best Female Comedian in 1994, this distinction is often overshadowed by her flop sitcom All-American Girl (which I happened to watch religiously for its short cable career). On a side note, I think it’s awesome that Cho has been deputized by the City of San Francisco to perform marriages after same-sex marriage was legalized in California earlier this year. Humor and human rights are a great combination.

If you disagree with my putting Cho on this list, I suggest you watch the video she created with fellow comic Diana Yanez, a viral hit entitled My Puss. Then, Netflix some of her DVDs.

4. Sarah Silverman

I wasn’t impressed with Silverman’s role in School of Rock, but I do applaud her blunt comments at last year’s MTV VMA’s and Movie Awards.

In a couple of days, Paris Hilton is going to jail… As a matter of fact, I heard that to make her feel more comfortable in prison, the guards are going to paint the bars to look like penises. I think it is wrong, too. I just worry she is going to break her teeth on those things

Wow, [Britney Spears] is amazing. I mean, she is 25 years old, and she has already accomplished everything she’s going to accomplish in her life. It’s mind-blowing.

The real reason that Silverman is on this list is… you guessed it: the little gem of a birthday video presented to then-boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel. How do you even think of something like this?

5. Ellen DeGeneres

Part of Ellen’s appeal (for me) is her genuine personality. I know, it’s all about humor here, but Ellen can make people laugh just by dancing around the set of her talk show. In the 1980s, Ellen was dubbed “a distaff version of Bob Newhart,” and won the title of funniest person in America (read: person not just “funniest female“).

In the 1990s, I was a fan of her sitcom Ellen, and of course, in addition to being a great show, Ellen and her show had a monumental impact on the Gay Rights Movement, also earning a 1997 Emmy for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series for the famous “coming out” episode. During the 90′s, Ellen was often referred to as a “female Seinfeld.”

I’m not usually a fan of talk shows, but Ellen’s sincere humor has earned 10 Daytime Emmy Awards. So, go Ellen, and congrats on finally marrying Portia DeRossi!

Honorable Mentions

I really wanted to include Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph in the top five, but thought my obsession with SNL would make for a biased ‘Top Five’ list. Poehler was the first SNL member to be nominated for a Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Emmy, and has loaned her quirky facial expressions to films such as Wet Hot American Summer, Mean Girls, Deuce Bigalow, Blades of Glory, and, of course, Baby Mama. She was the only one “man” enough to take Jimmy Fallon’s spot on Weekend Update, making her and Tina Fey the show’s first female team to host the segment.

As for Maya Rudolph? Come on! She can play just about any gender and any race. Whether playing Oprah Winfrey, Justin Guarini, Mario Vazquez, Christina Aguilera, Paris Hilton, Latoya Jackson, and Donatella Versace, Rudolph is always both convincing and side-splitting. Besides: she can freaking sing!

*Leslie Hall is probably a name you’ve never heard. But I highly recommend checking out some of the work from this satirical rap artist from Iowa who also operates a “gem sweater museum.”

*Natalie Portman is not someone you’d think of when you think of comediennes, but her SNL rap deserves some praise.

I know I’ve left out a lot of noteworthy women, but hey, it’s all relative. So if you disagree, feel free to let me know who you would vote for funniest female!

1. Ryan Reynolds. Now, besides the fact that he is off the market (engaged to Scarlet Jo!), this man is seriously adorable – and funny. Did you not see his abs in the hilarious movie Waiting? Or perhaps catch a glimpse of that killer smile?

2. Dane Cook. Not only is his stand up hilarious, but he’s got that dreamy guy-next-door-you’d-like-to-pounce-on look. Girls dig it. Guys dig it. I sure as heck do.

3. Sean William Scott. While Steve Stiffler is a piece of work, this guy is not too bad on the eyes. Ever see that movie Rundown with him and The Rock? Yummy.

4. Jim Carrey. Ah, a classic. This man can do it all, while maintaining a great physical appearance. That Jenny McCarthy must be keeping him young!

5. The Wilson Brothers. Whether you prefer blonde or brunette, there’s something for everyone in this twin set. I myself prefer Luke (circa Old School, “Yes Godfather, yes!”), but lots of ladies love the bummed out nose and surfer look of Owen. Let’s just hope the funny man can stay on track…wouldn’t want to disappoint his admirers.

6. Vince Vaughn. Some love his look. Others hate it. Personally, I’d love for his 6’7’’ frame to swing me around a dance floor like he did to Isla Fisher in Wedding Crashers, as he cracked jokes to her parents. He’s a burely type of man: likes to drink beer, stick his hand down his pants, burps and farts real loud. You ladies know you like it. Admit it.

7. The Wayans Brothers. Whether you like them skinny or muscular, Marlon and Shawn (don’t forget Keenan and Damon!) are some luscious looking funny men who can pull off spoof comedy, like dressing up as spoiled females in the movie White Chicks. Now, come on; what guys could put on tights, masks and make-up and still manage to rock our world?

8. Seth Rogen. There’s something about his curly hair and beer gut that has certain ladies requesting a little Knocked Up 2. It’s simple: He’s the guy who’d be in love with you in high school, but you’d be chasing after the hot jock. Give this funny man a chance. Laughter is the key to a women’s heart and this guys brutal honesty makes him endearing.

9. Will Smith. Although lately he’s made some more serious movies, Will Smith knew how to crack up an audience during his Fresh Prince of Bel-Air days. And he is still making me weak in the knees.

10. Kevin James. Call me a chubby chaser, but I think this guy is adorable. His stand-up is hilarious, his show, The King of Queens, is a modern-day Seinfeld/Married with Children (sans the children), and his Pillsbury doughboy look makes me want to cuddle up with him and watch a movie. Sigh….

While it’s not quite as solid as recent college favorites, like Anchorman, Old School, and Wedding Crashers, this movie will have you cracking up and asking, “what the f$#&?” after everything Will Ferrell’s character, Chazz Michael Michaels, says. Most of the time, he makes no sense – but that’s what makes him the funniest character in the movie.

Jon Heder plays the straight man in Jimmy MacElroy, and does a pretty good job. Every so often, Napoleon shines through and leaves you wanting a good, “Tina, eat your ham.” But alas, there is no Tina, and there is no ham. There is only a funny blonde haircut and some sweet reactions to Ferrell’s comments.

The hidden gem in “Blades,” for me, is Nick Swardson. He plays Hector, MacElroy’s crazy-stalker-fan who wears amazing one-piece ski suits from the ’80′s. I love this guy. He’s funny in everything, especially Grandma’s Boy. Another college favorite that slipped under the radar in the box office, it recently became popular to stoners, frat boys and partiers alike, as a rental. Watch it!

So, if you’re looking for a fun date movie or wanna catch a flick with the girls, go see Blades of Glory. Then, when your friends tell you they wanna “get inside your face” or say, “You’re welcome, Stolkholm,” you’ll appreciate the references.
