Office Space is hillarious.
The Odd Couple II is funny (May be aimed more at adults though)
Booty Call is really funny too! (Also adult humor though)
The Princess Bride

It was OK. I'm glad I saw it, and my son certainly got a few chuckles out of it. He was turning his nose up at the old classics listed on the Internet Movie Database., so a newer movie was a good choice.

My personal pick is Monty Python's In Search Of The Holy Grail, which my sons also love. I think my older son has every line memorized.
 
Caddyshack and Animal House. You be the judge on whether a 13 year old should see Animal House, a couple of scenes might be too much, but you can skip those without wrecking the movie.

Oops, forgot a couple. Try Stripes and Ghostbusters.
 
king of the who?
king of the brittans!
who are the brittans?
we all are, we are all brittans, and i am your king!
i didnt vote for you...
you dont vote for a king

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective - it came out when I was around that age & I still laugh my ass off today.

You'll like it, but it's not the funniest movie around.

Yeah, the youngster might not get it since he's never worked in an office setting like that before.

*EDIT* I actually enjoyed Shrek too =) Old School is definately funny, but probably inappropriate.
 
If he likes Monty Python, get A Fish Called Wanda. Probably the funniest non-Python movie that John Cleese and Michael Palin have ever done. It's Kevin Kline's best role ever, and Jamie Lee Curtis is smokin' hot in it as well 🙂
 
If you don't think that Monty Python's The Meaning of Life would be suitable, may I recommentdeither of two Terry Gilliam (Monty Python member) directed movies?

Number one for your son would be Time Bandits. A young boy's bedroom is invaded by time travelling dwarves who take him with them on a series of hilarious adventures. At the end, Sir Ralph Richardson plays God. It is side splittlingly funny, and a good adventure yarn ( don't be put off by the tepid review I linked to). I think it would be perfect for your son.

The other is Jabberwocky. Another hilarious Pythonesque adventure tale starring Michael Palin. Again, I just linked to the first Googleized review I found. But, a vendor in a monster beseiged town hawking "Rats on a stick" says it all. 😀

Edit: I personally consider both to be much funnier than "A Fish Called Wanda", but then, that's just me.
 
Of those mentioned so far: Animal House and A Fish Called Wanda...

For a thirteen year old: "Back to the Future"

For the slightly twisted: "Raising Arizona"

A guilty pleasure: "Strange Brew"
