I've never seen any of their complete films to be honest. But I remember watching some highlights reel of some of their greatest stuff. It was funny that Bud's stomach was some impenetrable force. He could take an onslaught there and never feel a thing. . Maybe I'll try to check a full film out down the road.
If you can enjoy the highlights you should be able to enjoy some of their movies. Several are proper comedies.

What madness is this? You do not watch trailers? How do you develop your desire to see a movie?
There's only so much that can be ascertained through a synopsis, stills, posters or past work to get a feel for actor chemistry, performances, tone, directorial style, production quality, etc.to guage personal appeal towards a particular unknown film (imo).
Synopsis and stills are all I need. And the names of the writer, director and studio.
If there's enough to catch my interest, I'll give the movie a chance.
Example:
Bone Tomahawk, solid movie. I watched it because of Kurt Russell + western + R-Rating. That's enough for me.
Because of Bone Tomahawk, I saw Brawl In Cell Block 99, which was great. Same writer/director + Vince Vaugh and Don Johnson + prison + R-Rating.
Because of those two, I'm looking forward to his next one: Dragged Across Concrete. Same writer/director + Vince Vaugh and Mel Gibson + corrupt cops + R-Rating.
If I'm gonna watch a movie for sure, why would I ruin it by watching bits before? It degrades the viewing experience.
I'd already know some cool action scenes or funny bits. I'd know certain stuff will still come up because they showed it in the trailer.
And more often than not, trailers give a false impression and/or spoils things.
I like to be surprised. I admit it's not always good, but sometimes it's just great and it makes it all worth.

Hey, Voodoo, link me a trailer for Terminator.
I was gonna say no, don't but it's too late.
Never watch a trailer if you're gonna watch a movie anyway.
