I'm glad you qualified the above by saying, "In my opinion....".
I would have nominated Porkeys for an Academy Award for the funniest
film of 1983.  When I saw it, the audience was laughing so loud at times
that I couldn't hear the screen dialog.  "no character development"? GREAT!
If you want character development, stay home and watch the soaps on TV.
I want pure escapist entertainment, not serious character studies,
when I go to the movies.  I classify Porkeys, along with Animal House,
as two of the funniest films (in my opinion) in the last decade.
