The little penguin/bird things? I didn't see any of them taking down any Walker's with sticks and logs... they mostly just were in the movie doing cute Minion-y stuff.
People make the argument that the Porgs were unnecessary, thus they must be a cash grab. which is fine either way.
I disagree with the some arguments against the humor content. It was definitely front loaded into the movie, but i think that was done so it wouldn't take away from the tone of the latter half of the movie. The first scene with Poe did seem like it was out of Spaceballs, but it was funny...
Comedy is one of the arguments critics made against Dune(there was no comedy). Dune was considered too dark compared to Star Wars. All seriousness.
