Want to know whats around the U-Bend when you are in a room submerged under water?
WATER.
Not AIR WATER.
Physics says that the pressure has to balance out. If the U-Bend in the toilet trapped a bubble of air I could see maybe one short breath of methane-heavy air, but again PHYSICS.
What happens when you flush the toilet?
You create a pressure imbalance by flooding the toilet bowl with streams of water which over-powers the small U-Bend's level of water. The toilet bowl empties to balance out to the level of the U-Bend behind the flush bowl.
What happens when you flood a room with water? The same thing as if you dump a bucket of water into a toilet. IT AUTOFLUSHES. There isn't an "unlimited supply of air" (even methane-heavy stinky poop air), it just contains more water from the room which is flowing down the pipes. And that is the "clean answer".
Remember all that poop and raw sewage you flushed earlier?
If it isn't all washed away by the flushing, then it is still there, ready to float back out when the room floods. Ask anyone that lives in Florida what happens when the sewer backs up (unholy black fetid fountains of raw sewage backflowing into your house). Flood a room? All that literal fecal matter is coming back to you to say, "Howdy! I missed you, let's hug." -

I won't comment on the entirety of your post as liking something and not liking something is subjective, so there is no actual point in saying that you are wrong because you don't like it and that I'm right because I do like it. It would make no sense.
So, I'm just going to take out some bits and reply to those.
Thamuel L. Jackthon and his lithp was bad, even by SLJ standards
I am not certain what is the actual issue, is it because he is overdoing it? Because it was supposed to be over the top, that was the point. I can understand that it can be annoying, to be honest, the first time I watched it I was slightly annoyed by it - it was all right at the beginning but it just started to be tiring as the film proceeded towards its end. But now I don't mind it, I got used to it.
Michael Caine needs to stop playing the exact same fcking character in every movie.
He actually doesn't. He is a versatile actor, he has played very different types of characters during his career.
I can't believe this was directed by the same guy who made Layer Cake and Kick-Ass.
Interestingly enough you mention "Kick-Ass" which serves the same purpouse as this film. "Kick-Ass" is a parody on superhero films while "Kingsman" is a parody on spy films.
And in 2014, did we really need the "two people jumping at each other through the air in super-slow motion" shot for the nine-millionth time in an action movie?
Honestly? In this film? Yes, because it's parodying those types of films.
Plot holes
wide enough to drive a Mack truck through
Such as?
dialogue that tries to be cool and subvert cliches but totally misses the point and becomes cliched
It is completely on point because it IS supposed to be clich.
to the point where I thought it was self-parody.
It sort of is, because the film absolutely isn't taking itself seriously.
Mark Strong, who could read a phone book out loud while taking a Chipotle dump and make it entertaining.
I agree. -

I really didn't think there are many plot holes. The plot is extremely condensed and I see more people getting confused with the plot ratherI think cinemasin on youtube records plotholes, etcKingsman has one of the lowest count in their history
I felt Mark Strong's character is a very cliched one dimensional tough guy characterit's underdeveloped but he is there to give out commands and his inner emotions are irrelevant to the plot, so it doesn't require much character depth.
I love this movie because it's fast paced and full of details that seemed irrelevant but became interconnected as the story unfolds..everything is shown to the audience is relevant to the plotbut i hope it will stop taking itself too seriously as a classic James Bond parody because Bond is cheesy AF.. -

Apart from Eggsy, we actually don't know anything about anyone -

It came across as a violent version of Austin Powers without the funny bits. Seriously, what was supposed to be funny? The violence? YAWN! It was brutal but not funny. I enjoyed Austin Powers much more thant this puerile crap.

It wasn't supposed to be laugh-out-loud funny; it was more dark humor.
And, it wasn't "Austin Powers" they were going for, it was an "anti-James Bond". As in, Bond is a sophisticated, world traveling, mature, suave man. Eggsy is barely above a street thug. -

After missing the movie when it was originally released in theaters, I was finally able to watch in recently. What a disappointment. It just seemed to drag forever and I simply couldn't bring myself to care about any of the characters.
IMO it failed to live up to the potential in the trailers.
