1. We’re the Millers (Movie)

Jason Sudeikis stars as an under the mantle dope dealer who manufactures a fake family to transport dope along the U.S.-Mexican border in this 2013 comedy. With Jennifer Aniston, Emma Roberts, and Will Poulter, he provides constant giggles with his sardonic but charming persona. The film was a financial success, partly due to the combination of puerile jokes and absurd events, such as the notorious "No Ragrets" tattooing scene. Sudeikis' timing and rapport with the cast make it a must see. If you like road trip comedies about dysfunctional families with over-the-top moments, then We're the Millers is a great selection.

2. Horrible Bosses (Movie)

In this dark comedy, Sudeikis plays Kurt, upping the ante with an unbearable boss and an absurd murder scheme. Along with Jason Bateman and Charlie Day, they set out to ruin their nightmarish employers' lives, which will lead to hilarious chaos. His sharp one-liners and witty banter have really elevated this movie into humor territory, throwing him into the spotlight among its brightest stars. Sudeikis and his co-stars have such great chemistry and magic that carry along even the most ludicrously unbelievable scenarios and situations, making this definitely one for fans of outlandish comedies.

3. Colossal (Movie)

Colossal happens to be one of the most surprising roles for Sudeikis, who showed that he can play intense roles as well. He plays Oscar, an apparently generous bartender, in this sci-fi dramedy, with a slowly emerging dark side. Acting opposite Anne Hathaway, the story of their characters follows the two of them as they mysteriously control giant monsters in South Korea. The premise is equal parts quirky and fun- things get real when psychothriller ensues, and Sudeikis delivers a chillingly transformative performance.

4. Sleeping with Other People (Movie)

This contemporary rom-com finds Sudeikis teamed up with Alison Brie in a new spin on love, commitment, and friendship. Their two characters, each having trouble committing to a relationship, become close friends as they attempt (and fail) to maintain their relationship as just platonic. Sudeikis' own charming presence makes his character both imperfect and extremely likable, creating a true dynamic that is both real and entertaining. His chemistry with Brie pushes the film beyond standard romantic comedies, intertwining humor and sentimental moments.

5. Hall Pass (Movie)

In this 2011 comedy, Sudeikis and Owen Wilson star as married men whose wives give them a "hall pass" a week of freedom to do whatever they please. What ensues is a series of ridiculous and cringe-worthy misadventures, demonstrating that their dream of single life isn't as great as they thought. Sudeikis' quick-witted comedic timing and laugh-out-loud moments with Wilson make this a crazy ride. Though the film goes overboard on humor, it also provides some surprising takeaways on relationships. If you're a fan of raunchy comedies with plenty of outlandish situations, Hall Pass is a fun movie with plenty of belly laughs.

6. Ted Lasso (TV Show)

In Ted Lasso, Sudeikis played one of the most liked characters by fans, wherein he became an unbelievably optimistic American football coach managing an English soccer team. This series on Apple TV+ could take the world by storm with his relentless optimism, great one-liners, and secret emotional depth. The show is a perfect balance of humor and heartfelt storytelling, targeting issues such as mental health, friendship, and self-development. The performance of Sudeikis has been highly acclaimed by the awards he received, proving his effortless delivery of comedy and drama. His character of Lasso is one of the most endearing characters in the history of television.

7. Saturday Night Live (TV Show)

Prior to his days as a Hollywood star, Sudeikis spent ten years on SNL, where he emerged as one of its most popular performers. His quick wit and his willingness to completely commit to characters made him a favorite among fans. A few of his drawings, such as the too-convinced dancer in "What Up with That?" are legendary. His stint on SNL established that he could deal with live comedy, improv, and satire, providing the launching pad for his prosperous acting career on film and television.

8. 30 Rock (TV Show)

Sudeikis also had a recurring stint on 30 Rock as Floyd, one of Liz Lemon's most lovable (and ill-fated) boyfriends. His suave, lovably nerdy persona brought some of the show's best comedy. His airport breakup scene is one of the funniest, most cringe-worthy moments in the series. Floyd's interactions with Tina Fey's Liz were both adorable and awkward, and he became a fan-favorite beau. While he wasn’t a main character, his presence was always memorable. If you’re a 30 Rock fan, his episodes are well worth revisiting for some classic Sudeikis comedy.

9. Last Man on Earth (TV Show)

Although featuring mainly Will Forte, Last Man on Earth also boasts Sudeikis in a standout guest role as Mike Miller, the brother of Forte's character, in a sweet and humorous twist of emotional depth and humor between the two actors. His story provides a welcome dose of surprise heart to the show, showing Sudeikis' range as a dramatic as well as comedic performer. His appearance brings new life to the series, and his episodes are a must-see. Last Man on Earth is an excellent example of how even as a supporting character, Sudeikis can steal the show.

10. The Cleveland Show (TV Show)

In this animated Family Guy spin-off series, Sudeikis provides the voice of Holt Richter, one of Cleveland Brown's offbeat buddies. Holt is a socially awkward, offbeat character, and Sudeikis' voice acting renders him ridiculous and lovable. Although The Cleveland Show received mixed reviews, Sudeikis' comedic timing shone through, giving the show a humorous charm. His voice work dazzles, affirming that his comedic timing serves him equally in animated as well as in live-action works.
