My tastes in comedy are all over the place; I appreciate different kinds depending on my mood. Some of my favorites started with Looney Tunes cartoons—I can watch those repeatedly and still find them funny. I also like dark British humor, slapstick, and even American comedy. Lately, American humour is often criticized for being simplistic to appeal to a broader audience, frequently relying on bathroom jokes as the main source of laughs. While I understand that perspective, I don't entirely agree; I believe the kind of humour people share with each other is what fuels movies from directors like Judd Apatow. Consider Pineapple Express—there’s something surprisingly grounded about it, even though obviously a lot of things in the film couldn’t realistically happen. The comedy, the way the characters talk to one another, the fight scenes, and their interactions all contribute to that feeling. The action isn't particularly polished; while there are specific points they need to connect with, most of it feels spontaneous or improvised, much like the humour itself. Pineapple Express centers on process server Dale Denton (Rogen) and his marijuana dealer Saul Silver (Franco), who find themselves evading henchmen (Robinson & Corrigan) working for Ted Jones (Cole), a drug kingpin in Los Angeles. This chase begins after Dale witnesses Ted committing a murder. With a crooked police officer (Perez) also involved, the two former business associates turned friends must stay alive while navigating this lifestyle. The movie’s title comes from the name of the strain of marijuana that Saul introduces to Dale. I find Pineapple Express entertaining because it takes an old-school approach to both the storytelling and the humour, and the characters are relatable on some level.
