why was this so funny??? not bad funny, just regular funny?? like why did i laugh out loud so many times???? this was not great other than that some lines that stuck out to me were;
“have you seen the movie the last airbender?”
“no, i sleep with girls.”
“you make me wish i had that abortion in the 90s”
“i hate you more than i hate the holocaust”
“have you seen the movie the last airbender?”
“no, i sleep with girls.”
“you make me wish i had that abortion in the 90s”
“i hate you more than i hate the holocaust”

It’s just so unfunny and the main character is completely insufferable and what is the point in the struck by lightning that’s literally not the main point of the film it’s just an afterthought to entice people to watch it overall it was just so bad and had so much famous people in it
