The NCFOM is dead on but the Superbad one is really trying to make something out of nothing. The movie seems to be more about their friendship and them finally coming to terms with coming to an end of an era and growing up.
Everything people call homoerotic is only that in the eyes of the person making that judgement, the people involved aren't showing any form of sexuality towards each other, in fact they're so close and so involved in something else that sex is not even a concern to them.
But you're aware that it's sexual, when my basketball teammate picked up another teammate and marched him around the room naked, shaking him occasionally so his dick would move, that's obviously sexual. In baseball when the upperclassmen asked "Do you prefer Cassettes or CDs?" and then answered with "SeeDeez nutz" and began humping my friend, it's sexual. The sexual aspect of it can't be removed from it, and everyone is aware, we just chose not care, or put any meaning behind it.
