From the over-the-top gadgets to the super-fast cars, the spy genre is full of clichés just waiting to be spoofed. The best comedy movies about spies feature hilarious heroes getting into jams and tangling with supervillains all over the world. This is a list of the top espionage comedy movies including everything from Get Smart to This Means War to The Man Who Knew Too Little.
What films will you find on this list of the best comedy movies about spies? 1997's Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery brought new life to this comedic genre. Mike Myers does double duty in the film, playing both the swingin' '60s title character and his nemesis, Dr. Evil. True Lies is another good film that combines espionage and humor, while Kingsman: The Secret Service adds a heady dose of action to the equation. Other good moves on this list of spy comedies include Agent Cody Banks, Knight and Day, and Undercover Brother.
It's up to you to decide which funny spy movies deserve the tops spots on the list. Give your favorites a thumbs up, and add any titles that are missing.
