This is a really sad game to rate this low, because the earlier games in this series were my childhood. I don't even know why I loved this that much as a child, because it's filled to the brim with reference humor that I didn't understand. I understand the reference humor now, and is it any better because of that? No. There's nothing interesting or clever about the reference humor, it's just "I got that reference". The reference humor makes up about half of the humor in these games, the rest of the humor is slapstick. Although you could say all of the humor is slapstick, because it uses the references to create slapstick pretty often. I wouldn't call the slapstick bad, but slapstick just isn't really my thing. There isn't actually anything outstanding about the slapstick that I would appreciate if I was into slapstick. It's the routine "someone gets hurt" type slapstick, and I think it would work better if it was more over-the-top, but whenever it gets over-the-top, it just becomes action. Overall, it's not a terrible game, but the only thing you can get out of it is nostalgia.
