I agree with the OP. There are some funny moments with Bill Murray and Rodney has a few good lines, but other than that, it just isn't very funny. Examples of great comedies of the same era, and same group of filmmakers are:
- Animal House
- The Jerk
- The Blues Brothers
- Stripes
- Vacation
- Trading Places
- Ghostbusters
- Spies Like Us
- Three Amigos
- Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
- Groundhog Day

Hey gotoads, why do you have such a hardon for this movie? Not liking a movie is one thing, but your hatred and seeming fixation is different. There are lots of movies I don't like, some I even hate. But I don't go on those movie's IMDB message boards and trash them or get all defensive and trash posts in support of the movie. I just ignore movies I don't like. If you don't like the movie, then don't watch it and move on with your life.
Constantly monitoring the board of a movie you profess to hate and repeatedly posting to trash the movie and tear down support of that movie suggests an emotional investment in said movie that might not be entirely healthy.
We all get that you don't like Caddyshack. that's fine. But yours is just one persons opinion. A subjective outlook that most here don''t agree with.
Did you have a crush on Sarah Holcomb or something? Does Rodney Dangerfield owe you money? What is it that feeds your animosity and drives you to post so much negativity?
Introspection can be difficult, but can be very rewarding.
Shalom.
Hey Whitey! Where's your hat? -

Personally for me, the memorable quotes and colorful characters make this comedy funny. But I respect opinions, as long as it's backed up. I can especially see now that audiences may find this film nothing more than a goof-off.

DOODIE!!!!
Yeah I have to say if yo saw this and didn't get it or it wasn't funny, then just move on. It's a classic and being its about golf and general storyline acting it hasn't aged bad other than clothing line and hairdos alike. So yeah if you didn't think it was funny then you just don't get it whereas most everyone else does.
All that said yes this film like any other film has the mark of the 80's and was better back then, but still if I'm up late and there's nothing else on and I run across this I'll put it on. Good ol flick -

I'd compare this to Raising Arizona or a low-key film rather than Happy Gilmore or a more up-front comedy. This movie is laid backif you're expecting to laugh hysterically throughout the thing you'll be disappointed. Honestly, seeing random scenes on youtube or instagram (like "You'll get nothing and like it!!!") make me appreciate this movie more. Also, being into golf/caddying helps.

When I was 20 in 1980, the guys who loved this movie didn't go to, or dropped out of school; and there were just myriads of them. Just noting a correlation.
Boobs, poop jokes, overacting, blowing up stuff. Dangerfield was a patron saint then.
Not everyone is a
Louie
fan.
