Hot Rod is a dumb movie (sorry, a very dumb movie), but pleasing just the same. Andy Samberg and his crew are able ambassadors between mainstream comedy and the strange, only-mostly-worthless shenanigans of the YouTube generation, and in that sense Hot Rod is a success: whether it's appealing because or in spite of its random, goofy shapelessness is left to question, but for a certain audience (myself grudgingly included) it's funny enough not to really matter.
