The premise of this movie is not one that I'd normally expect to enjoy. Two stoners get the munchies and encounter a series of strange obstacles and people on their way to the nearest White Castle. On paper, not that funny. In reality, and with NPH in pre-HIMYM Barney effect, this is hysterical.
Some of the characters are a bit over the top (for example, Freakshow) but for the most part, this is just a fun adventure to go on. The creators also did Dude, Where's My Car? and really seemed to learn from their first attempt. They kept the pieces of the formula that worked and just improved on it. A much better output. And they even give us a nudge at the end...
"Dude, where's my car?"
"Yeah, where's his car, dude?"
Cute.
