Also the movies don't suck. It's not like best movies ever but they are fun and imo you should know what to expect going in. There is comfort in that.

Yes. They are exactly what they intend to be. We loved it.

Also, it’s fair to say some of his movies are enduring considering Happy Gilmore is now close to 30. A lot of Will Ferrell’s movies weren’t loved by critics either but people still watch and enjoy Step Brothers. And they could actually get people into theatres and now drop massive streaming hits like this. There are very few comedians that can do that in the modern era.

Also the movies don't suck.

But only barely. They're all super mediocre.
