Kung Pow is quite possibly the Worst film ever made…

I noticed a lot of people insulting this movie, but I'm ok with it.
For the record, I like this movie. I liked it enough to buy it on DVD. The question you guys seem to ask is, "Why do people like it?". The best way I can answer that is that some people can just leave their manners & morals at the door when watching a film. I can understand why a serious person would think this is the dumbest movie of all. It has childish voices & childish jokes, but I guess that's the appeal of it.
I think another thing that makes this movie good is that there is a lack of the "stupid" genre. When I say stupid, I mean movies like Airplane, Hot Shots, Space Balls & Scary Movie. Comedies that throw common sense out the window and present to you childish, weird humour. Presently there's a good amount of what I call "sane" comedy. Realistic situations where they may push boundaries a bit a few times, but could happen (American Pie,Napolean Dynamite & Harold & Kumar)
If I had to nitpick anything about the movie, I'd be the following:- Steve overacts/does too much in certain scenes (like doing a chipmonk gesture when surrounded).
- Some swearing would've fit certain scenes, like "It's Betty, you son of a pig..". I know it was meant as a joke, but some SouthPark humour would be nice :).
Maybe they had to please the studio, because I noticed that there's a scene cut out where the cow squirts milk on Steve chest/face (in a pronographic way). This might've been a storyboard, I forgot. - Stomach plug wasn't too appealing. Neither was the dancing with the forest animals
- Wimp Lo's lines (altough some good)were pretty dumb & not needed. Maybe I missed some of the jokes, but "I'm a man too you know. I go pee pee standing up" was probably better cut off.
As for worst movie I've seen. I think I'd give that title to You got served & Jason X. You got served had good dancing, but the script was garbage. Jason X. well Jason looked a little cool but that's it.
P.S. Please don't start bashing my post. I haven't bashed anyone's, so I hope to get the same. Simple/detailed reasoning will do just fine. No need for insulting.

Oh thank you phoenix, it warms my heart when I see that utter spastics are able to use a computer keyboard.
I must congratulate you on your better use of English, have you been practicing by any chance or have you stopped licking windows long enough to listen to the English teacher? When you get a girlfriend I'm sure she'll be very impressed by the way you can use your fingers and thumbs at the same time.
You know, I love the UK because we're better than the rest of the world, we know it, the world knows it and they hate us for it.
Chocks away old chap!!!

Losing an arguement can be easily divided into 3 phases:
Phase 1. You start to correct the grammar or spelling of your opponent. Dude, if you can't argue with the content of a post you start arguing about the spelling? Just wrong
Phase 2. You insult your opponent with childish phrases like "you don't have a girlfriend" or "you'll never get laid if you're against my point". Goddamn, even if i die alone you're still wrong, go figure.
Phase 3(now there's really no hope for you, you lost). You turn into a nazi. Even if you're a high intelligent alien from mars, you're not making your statement better.
I liked the movie. Good fun, subtle jokes, parody en masse and good ol' shut-your-brain-off gags.
If you correct my spelling and/or grammar, i rest my case.
