In this case, with this format, maybe not that difficult. The "race" can be written as several interlocking vignettes/storylines, each playing to a particular group of comedians' respective strengths.
The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

Yeah, and there are a lot of great comedies not from Hollywood. One of my favourites is Bon Cop, Bad Cop 2. While the first movie centers itself on Quebec and Ontario, the second movie goes to the U.S and is just zany in some of the best ways.
For some reason or another, I'm thinking the 'Ocean' movies with George Clooney would be a good template to follow if trying to do a 'Mad' remake.
I think the most impressive aspect to IaMMMMMW is how the hell Stanley Kramer was able to manage the egos of his principal cast. He even managed to get Milton Berle under control, which deserves praise unto its own.
Mad World is a movie I absolutely adored from the first time I saw it. I've even spent considerable time diving into Kramer's archival papers at UCLA to study how the script was put together and even made myself a copy of the complete continuity supervisor's screenplay - clocking in at 800 pages.
Yeah, that's another possible problem.
I wonder if Hardy is ever going to pick up Taboo again. He was positively awesome in that show.

I kind of wish he’d go back to Witcher but I guess the shit’s out of that horse at this point.
Live-action Voltron? I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Considering the director and his preferred composer as of late, you're gonna feel about the same as you do about the Transformers movies. So, get your barf bag ready, take a shot if you drink, and gett ready to feel your brain cells dying.

A bit late to the party, but it seems no one has mentioned it here:
I was browsing Youtube, and was recommended Fahrenheit 451, the 66 movie. And I was like, oh, neat! Movie was alright though I don't think they should had changed the ending, the book hits a bit harder.
Then I was like, huh, how the book and movie go into how mass media basically made books irrelevant and people have shorter attention spans and are focused on what is basically social media with books then scorned and tainted with an anti-intellectual bent, in this age of tiktok and vine, did someone else do that? And lo and behold, apparently in 2018 Hollywood did, and it changed even MORE than the '66 movie did and misses the point. Which is a shame because, for predicting the future and making a scenario, Fahrenheit 451 (the book) hits close to what we have now, and might be even more topical with tiktok, book bans, et al.
