It was an entire movie about pot jokes bookended by gratuitous violence. Struck me as something that tried way too hard. That's not to say it lacked in its funny moments (it had its fair share), but the jokes ran thin about half way through.
I felt the humor was more realistic, as in it applied to the situation and I could see it as things people I know would say at that point in time.

Tropic Thunder was all blatantly purposefully scripted set up humor... and I tend to not like that as much as in the moment humor. Granted their both movies and scripted, but there was a very different feel in the humor between the two movies.
