Well written.

I agree with your point that there will be a wave of copycat films that operate in the mode of "so random", but I suspect any such movies will be easy to spot and even easier to skip.

You're definitely right in EEAAO being a bit too simplistic emotionally, but I think you're overstating it's "lol so random xD" levels. That type of awful youtube/vine "comedy" from the late mid to 2000s is just lazy and takes no thought or creativity. The hot dog fingers and butt plug fight clearly have thought and heart put into it. Just because something is weird and nonsensical doesn't mean it's automatically "lol so random" lazy trash.
