When I was a laaitie I loved his stuff. UNTAG and Short and Sweet was a turning point. It was funny but went downhill rapidly after that. He still has some of the best gags ever, but really should stop trying to add stories to his movies. An hour with a few good pranks is worth more than two hours with a terrible story, even if the pranks are any good.
I still enjoy his old stuff, where he pisses people off and someone moers him, but less than I did when I was younger. The last film of his that I watched was Panic Mechanic. The next movie after that (can't recall what it was) I couldn't even watch 5mins before I stopped because I cringed so hard.
The older stuff looks authentic, as if he is actually pissing people on the street off (which I'm pretty sure he did). The new stuff all looks staged and fake.
