Basically brash, loud films based on a comic premise with high marketability, filled with toilet humour, mean jokes, slapstick, and a very predictable plot. Oh - and anything with the label "rom-com" anywhere!
What you describe here are bad comedy films, not American comedy films. is , regardless of where it comes from.

I think I can do you some justice though, give me a moment here....
