John Cho and Kal Penn deliver a truly hilarious performance as Harold, the Korean/American hard-working investment banker and Kumar the Indian-American very gifted pre-med student, who isn't interested in following his father and brother's footsteps and becoming a doctor.

I loved that he could handle the jokes about himself. Other highlights include the television commercial scene, the "Extreme" knuckleheads, and the Koreans at the university. Even though most of the stuff that happened …
