Cracking Up is a 1977 American independent anthology sketch black comedy film, directed by Rowby Goren and Chuck Staley.

The film was a collaboration between numerous comedy troupes of the 60s and 70s, many of which were former Second City members, including Ace Trucking Company, The Credibility Gap, The Graduates, and The Pitschel Players.

The movie features music by The Tubes, which the TV Guide review called a highlight of the film.

"Like a number of other films made for college-age audiences Cracking Up was test marketed in Champaign, Illinois.
