@DiapDealer: Are you sure this is a matter of personal taste? I just don't think 'laugh-out-funny' is compatible with 'epic'. On the other hand, I would call THE NIGHT THEY RAIDED MINSKY'S epic, so ...
I think that the adjective epic originate not from the epics in litterature, but rather from the movie genre.
I said earlier that epic can be nailed down to a solid story world. But, I also think that a historical event has to be going down. So if the hero has to save the country/world/universe, this count - but ONLY if the reader sees it as a big thing. If it just feels like the usual saving-the-world plot, its unlikely to feel epic.
