I think Adam is bitter. You can tell he's aware that his movies post Waterboy (earlier for some) have all been garbage, he even makes fun of himself in Funny People. I believe he wants to do more serious movies like Punch Drunk Love but when he tries no-one sees them, so he's been making his comedies as shitty as possible out of spite knowing he will still make money off of stupid people. As for Happy Madison films staring his friends I guess he's just trying to get his friends money without working hard.
