Comedies are very hard to debate, imo, and I largely started this thread to (a) rile some people, and (b) give my opinion on This is the End, but this is becoming a more serious discussion so I'll give a more serious response.
Harold & Kumar EFGB is one of the funniest movies I'VE EVER SEEN. Yes, I am using that line. It is a favorite of mine. That may have to do with the fact that it reminds me of the first time I saw during which I was intoxicated with some friends of mine I don't see too often. Nevertheless, it is a favorite of mine. My humor slides more that direction.
21 Jump Street did what This is the End wanted to do better than This is the End did, and it didn't even try. 21 Jump Street had the irreverence, the improvisation, that This is the End tried so hard for, but it also had a solid back story and was a complete film. It's cameos were equally humorous and unexpected. To me, 21 Jump Street blew This is the End out of the water, but again, sense of humor is tough to really nail down. At the end of it, I think if you judge a movie for the story it tells rather than how much you laughed, that's the best way to judge it. This is the End's story was very boring. The way they told it was funny. If that makes any sense.

Ummm, I'd say it probably doesn't cross my top 100 of funniest movies I've ever seen. The only parts I really laughed was when Rob Cordry was doing racist stuff. The original was far superior to it in every category imaginable.

This is the End did not want to be 21 Jump Street. You just clearly didn't get the purpose of this film. It wasn't to tell a story, but more to exaggerate their real life friendships and put it to it's utmost limits. The apocalypse isn't really the story of This is the End, just the backdrop. Pretty much all the characters' real problems are dealing with each others' bullshite and their own narcissistic egos. As the end of the film shows, if they just conquered this at the beginning of the film, then they would have been fine.
