Depends on my mood. Sometimes I laugh more at these movies (in no particular order):
Neighbors (Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi)
The Burbs
Kingpin
Dumb and dumber
The Money Pit
A serious man
Burn after reading
The big Lebowski
Ed Wood
Vacation and X-mas Vacation
Most of Woody Allen's comedies
Several John Hughes Comedies
Several Ben Stiller comedies
Several Will Ferrell comedies
Some Adam Sandler films, especially Punch drunk love
etc.

Probably the only comedy I like more than this one is "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" although this is definitely a more laugh-out-loud type of movie than Strangelove is.
There are some other great comedies that are JUST below Holy Grail, but I really think that it's the #2 comedy, right behind Strangelove. -

There is this movie:

(like it if you like it)
And except this one, there are few movies closed to the holy graal.
Strange love of course, I also loved scary movie 2 (sorry), South Park Movie, and 2 french movies : Les trois frres and La cit de la peur. Don't know if you can find them in English. -

Well? If you're done watching all the movies listed (most, repeatedly) AND you still have eyesight, try catching:
His Girl Friday and The General (silent) as well as MANY Chaplin shorts.
And TRY to catch them (like most older movies) on as large a screen as possible. So many expressions are lost on the small screen.

So many I don't think I'd be able to list them. It didn't strike me as a very funny film.

I really can't think of anything. I recently watched it for the first time in a decade and was still able to quote each and every line by heartthey were all just that memorable. I really can't say the same for any other comedy. Sure there might be some specific scenes from other comedies that I find funnier, but considered as a whole I honestly don't believe this movie has ever been topped. I understand why the randomness and overall silliness of it might put some people off, taste is subjective after all, but no other comedy has ever stuck with me in quite this same way.
