Heartwarming Moments: Harold and Kumar belting out Wilson Phillips' "Hold On" together in the car.As it turned out, this wasn't just some throwaway joke: in his interview for Hari Kondabolu's 2018 documentary The Problem With Apu, Kal Penn admitted to being one of several American actors of South Asian descent who despises Apu, the Simpsons character being quoted, and the racism he enables, which has made it increasingly hard for actors like him to get roles which aren't similarly stereotypical or degrading (going so far as to accuse Kondabolu of hating himself for otherwise liking The Simpsons). "Funny Aneurysm" Moment: As he and Harold are escaping in the car they stole from them, Kumar leans out the window and flips off the racist bullies they'd encountered and throws their "Thank you, come again!" insult back at them.First Installment Wins: The first film is a classic.Despite the extremely exaggerated and Squicky nature of his character, Freakshow proved to be rather popular within the fandom.Ensemble Dark Horse: Some would say Neil Patrick Harris' role here helped resurrect his career.Cult Classic: Especially among the weed crowd.Crazy Is Cool: Neil Patrick Harris' drugged-out/sex-crazed version of himself was so memorable that he had to return for the sequels.
