Humor is not for everyone.
You sound like chinese student watching Ryan Higa and not understanding the puns, the references and the subtle visual and aural jokes and themes.
This is that kind of a movie; you have to be familiar with the actors, with the characters, with the references, with whom they parody, with what they parody, and so on, to understand the jokes. Some jokes are simply surreal and absurd, others are situational, then there are so many references and really weird things that are funny exactly because they're something you'd never expect someone to say.
How could you NOT laugh at Wang calling a Moose a cow so casually, or his constant 'fortune cookies' (as the frenchman calls them) that he sometimes doesn't get to finish..
This movie proves that racist jokes are ok.
Yes, I said it. Think about it; if someone made racist jokes about white people, especially heterosexual men, would anyone get offended? I don't think so.
On the same token (no pun intended), all races, cultures and nationalities should be openly and freely insulted and made fun of. Peter Sellers' character could never exist today, but it actually makes fun of the weird racism of casting a white guy to play a 'generally asian' character and doing it in such a insultingly stereotypical and stupid way that it's actually hilarious. Nothing is as funny as a racist joke that actually makes fun of actual racist people, trends, stereotypes, etc.
In any case, this is a funny movie, with many surprises. It's just difficult to endure when hungry, as you feel the hunger of the guests as well.. the villain's anger about Wang's missing pronouns is also hilarious, just by the way.
