Which parts were funny?

I've seen it several time. My parents of the older generation swear it's the funniest movie ever made. I've seen it several times and get a chuckle but not to be considered a comedy. It's highly overrated. It was more of a spoof with comedic elements from the older Frankenstein movies. Comedic elements coming about once every 30 minutes. Just wasn't funny. And I'll shut it down now. I'm not a comedic fan of Seth Rogan and that James Franco, Apatow *beep*

It's a spoof. How much you appreciate it is proportional to how much you appreciate the first 3 Universal Frankenstein films. If you don't have an affinity for those I wouldn't expect you to find most of the humor humorous. Nothing wrong with that.
