"Central Intelligence" starring Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart is a really nice action comedy film. It has a simple plot and a lot of action scenes along with comedy that will keep you hooked to the movie till the end.

How about The Heat starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy? Rottten Tomatoes gives it an audience score of 71% - I'd give it higher. Or what about Hot Fuzz?

I would suggest the Hitman's bodyguard and the heat. They are not just funny but it has a story too.

The guardians of the galaxy movies are all pretty funny and have action! However they are pretty popular so I think most people have seen them by now...

Without a Paddle is a good comedy not really an action film though.Supernatural is a good action series but it only has comedy in it every once in a while. Thor: Ragnorok,Naruto Shippuden, Deadpool 1&2, Dragonball are all good action comedy movies/series.

This is a pretty old comedy classic and maybe not familiar to many younger members, but It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963) was probably the best action comedy I can remember seeing. It also included just about every comedian in show business at the time either in major roles or in cameo appearances. The pace of the comedic action increases as the movie goes on culminating in a riotous finale. I can vouch for this one, though, as stated before, many of the younger members may not know all of the comedians in the movie.

I watched The Interview last night and was laughing my butt off. I definitely recommend. It has Seth Rogan and James Franco in it.
