Things I Find Inherently Funny
- Leprechauns
- The word ‘binky’
- Fake Scottish accents
- Any 10 consecutive words from The Big Lebowski
- Impending doom
- Sales graphs (odd, I know, but the number of cartoons I’ve done about them bear me out)
- Mimes
- Anthropomorphic food
- The phrase “tri-state killing spree”
- Animated characters throwing up
- Star Trek fights

Always funny:
- Fake French accents (and that fake French/Charles Nelson Reilly laugh that Mark does)
- Saying "Sam Handwich" instead of ham sandwich
- Using a stick to slowly poke a fat guy
- Lemurs
- Eugene Pallette
- Finger quotes
- And, agreeing with Mark, the word "binky" is always funny

I found some more great examples of this while searching for Krusty's funny place names: Walla Walla, Keokuk, Cucamonga, Seattle.

Also, Mike, that French/Charlses Nelson Reilly laugh of mine is genuine…
