Simple humor is hard for me to enjoy in a kid's show like seeing someone flattened or blown up, it's lost it's edge a bit as I've grown older. But stupid things still make me laugh. Practically everything said and done on Family Guy, Freakazoid, and Robot Chicken requires little brain power.
Other times it's the remarks and the lines the characters say that make them so enjoyable. I remember one time in Darkwing Duck he was trying to teach his daughter, Gosalyn, the difference between real life and what happens in cartoons (their cartoons anyway).
And he got smacked by this bad guy and flattened like a pancake and I'll never forget what he said, as he groaned in pain:
"Normally a cartoon character would spring back and say yahoo, yipee, or something like that....I on the other hand am expierencing pain like you wouldn't
believe".
I just loved that line. Which reminds me of a REAL good cartoon, a fine example of physical comedy in toons that I did laugh at: Super Dave. Thet old cartoon show about the stunt man who was bashed, beaten, broken, bruised or blown up every 5 seconds and everything he said was pain related.
"Okay kids, count how many of my fingers aren't broken"
That show was
great.
