I think the issue with blatantly trashing men is that it's comedy appealing to the lowest common denominator where as the original was more dry/witty

Dr Ray Stantz: Everything was fine with our system until the power grid was shut off by dikkless here.
Walter Peck: They caused an explosion!
Mayor: Is this true?
Dr. Peter Venkman: Yes it's true.
[pause]
Dr. Peter Venkman: This man has no dikk.
Walter Peck: Jeez!
[Charges at Venkman]
Mayor: Break it up! Hey, break this up! Break it up!
Walter Peck: All right, all right, all right!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Well, that's what I heard!
Gozer: [after Ray orders her to re-locate] Are you a God?
[Ray looks at Peter, who nonchalantly nods yes]
Dr Ray Stantz: No.
Gozer: Then... DIE!
[Lightning flies from her fingers, driving the Ghostbusters to the edge of the roof and almost off; people below scream]
Winston Zeddemore: Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say "YES"!
Dr. Peter Venkman: All right! This chick is TOAST!
Walter Peck: Hold it! I want this man arrested! Captain, these men are in criminal violation of the Environmental Protection Act! And this explosion is a direct result of it!
Dr. Egon Spengler: YOUR MOTHER!
How wasn't you have no dikk line not dry. It's dry delivery is what made that line so funny lol

It also degrades that dude's masculinity, which is supposedly "lowest common denominator" humor.
It's dry based on delivery but it's still a juvenile joke even tho it's hilarious.
Man I die every time at this scene. Peter's "Well that's what I heard" is so damn hilarious and you know it wasn't in the script and he improvised. Its what makes him so damn great.

Am I an a$$hole for saying it isnt funny? Everyone is fair game in comedy, but if it sucks it sucks. Shooting a ghost in the dikk is stupid.

I tried finding a pack of Hi-C Ecto Cooler, but both Target and our Super Walmart did not have it. 
not at all. not a single frame of the trailers has been funny so far.
This review from Terri Swartz at IGN feels honest compared to the reviews that are trying to shyt on folks who been shytting on the movie the whole time.
