Did you know that you can learn a language more efficiently if you’re having fun studying? Indeed, if you enjoy it, it’s easier to commit new knowledge to long-term memory, as research suggests. So, Serbian comedy movies aren’t just an amusing way to pass the time — they can help you learn faster.
Plus, you’ll get a clear picture of Serbian humor, which, admittedly, gets dark at times. But once you get used to it, you’ll be laughing your head off at hilarious lines and bizarre characters.
And it’s no surprise — if you’re having fun learning, you’ll naturally want to continue with what you’re doing. Who says studying Serbian has to be a chore?
Speaking of learning through fun content, we have a whole article on Serbian TV Shows. And if you prefer reading, check out our recommended Serbian writers.
Finally, here’s our list.
One of the most iconic Serbian comedy movies, Mrtav Ladan, has a bit of everything — drug dealers, a missing dead body, feuding neighbors, and a little girl abandoned by her mother. If all this sounds a tad dark, there’s also a bit of romance for a heartwarming twist.
On top of the side-splitting lines and unlikely plot twists, this movie will show you more about Serbian culture and mentality than you wanted to know. But, we promise — you’ll love every second of it.

If you like your comedy chaotic, loud, and bizarre, add Crna mačka, beli mačor to your watchlist. In short, a small-time hustler tries to fix a shady deal, but things spiral out of control when love, gangsters, and a wedding get in the way.
As expected from Emir Kusturica’s work, this movie brims with quirky characters, absurd situations, and Balkan brass music blasting in the background. It’s weird, it’s wonderful — and it’s absolutely worth your time!

Looking for a comedy with a devilish twist? Mi nismo anđeli is a classic where an irresponsible womanizer suddenly becomes a dad — and now an angel and a devil are fighting over his soul. It’s stylish, funny, and so ‘90s, with fast-paced dialogue and over-the-top characters. Great for picking up slang and sarcasm in Serbian!

So, you want a taste of Belgrade in the early 2000s? Well, Munje! delivers — loud, fast, and with a wicked sense of humor. It follows two friends, wanna-be music stars, as they charge through one wild night full of strange run-ins, flashbacks, and bad decisions. Along the way, you’ll pick up street slang, meet unforgettable characters, and get hooked on the soundtrack.

Kad porastem, biću Kengur is an ensemble film full of problematic characters you can’t help but love. At the center is Braca, broke and still living with his parents, trying to win over Iris, a girl way out of his league.
Meanwhile, the whole neighborhood is buzzing with gossip, wild ideas, and plenty of shouting from rooftops. By the end credits, you’ll get to wonder at the Serbian obsession with football and admire their ability to buy beer with no money.
Šešir profesora Koste Vujića is a charming Serbian comedy full of wit and nostalgia. It follows Professor Vujić — a kind-hearted but socially clumsy teacher — as he stumbles through humorous misunderstandings and romantic entanglements. And no, he’s not a fictional creation — he’s based on a real person.
Interestingly, this high school teacher once taught some of Serbia’s most celebrated scientists, writers, and politicians. In this film, you’ll meet them in their younger, more mischievous days — full of curiosity and teenage antics.

Do you like humor that’s totally twisted? Then don’t skip this one.
Maratonci trče počasni krug follows a family of undertakers. As the oldest family member dies at the age of 150, his offspring — five generations of them — fight over the inheritance.
Expectedly, the humor is as dark as it gets, but if you don’t mind themes like death, family feuds, and murder, you’re in for a laugh-out-loud ride.
Looking for something far brighter? Lajanje na zvezde is a nostalgic, feel-good rom-com perfect for when you need something to lift your mood.
Set in a small Serbian town, it follows a group of teenagers obsessed with rock ‘n’ roll, rebellion, and love. Between crazy schemes, friendships, and misunderstandings, the film captures the spirit of youth and the wildness of growing up.

Sivi kamion crvene boje is set at the start of the Yugoslavian Civil War. The protagonist, Ratko, is a truck driver and a daltonist, hence the movie title.
Anyway, Ratko meets a free-spirited girl and gives her a ride. As you may expect, they fall in love with each other along their strange and exciting voyage.

Are you into heist movies? Think of Pljačka Trećeg rajha as Ocean’s Eleven meets Inglourious Basterds, with a less glamorous but hilarious Serbian twist.
Instead of George Clooney, you get to watch the equally charming Dragan Nikolić in the role of Glavonja. Instead of Brad Pitt, you can laugh at the foolish yet lovable Nikola Đuričko portraying Kalauz. Although they don’t go as far as killing Hitler (like in Tarantino’s masterpiece), the duo attempts to rob the Third Reich in the Middle of World War II.

Hvala puno na ovom spisku! Dugo sam želeo da gledam srpske humorske filmove, jer svi filmovi koji stignu do Španije su drame. Jedina srpska/jugoslovenska komedija koju sam gledao do sada je “Hajde da se volimo” 🙂
