I didn't think it was possible to really like one of these two and hate the other...the style of humor is just so similar in both.


I could not disagree more strongly. Primarily, because I found almost no humor in "Knocked Up". I would be much more comfortable calling this film a drama rather than a comedy. The bulk of the run-time was people yelling at each other, which I don't find funny at all. I laughed only a handful of times at the most and I'm fairly positive that most of these laughs were for the female character at the TV station that always had snide little remarks.

Superbad on the other hand was pretty funny. Extremely far-fetched and over the top, but for the most part funny. I doubt that I will ever watch it again, but if I had my way, I would destroy the original negatives for "Knocked Up"
