I respect your opinion because there’s no such thing as objectively good/bad, but…
The Evil Dead movies, for example, were popular because of how they integrated Three Stooges-style slapstick humor with horror. If they had been straight horror, they would have been just some other B-movies.
On the more serious end of comedy/horror is Get Out, which is very clever in that its funny moments are also some of its most unsettling.
I so strongly disagree, yet I completely understand at the same time.
Look at it this way: Forget the “horror” part after part one because it’s really tangential to what they were going for. No one would act like The Three Stooges in any of their wacky situations either, and that’s a big part of the humor. The filmmakers were big Three Stooges fans, which is why they went a different way for the sequels.
But even so, it’s not appealing to you, and that’s okay. I too like the first one and the remake, though for me not quite as well as the others.
Kind of the point is that it doesn’t matter, and they aren’t supposed to act the way a real person would act in that scenario. They are not doing the thing you expect them to do, because they don’t have the same purpose that you’re assuming they have. This is just a case of misplaced expectations.

I actually haven’t seen the latest installment.

I’m actually taking some time off work right now. This is a good reminder for me to catch up :P
