It is exactly the same reason why cannibals eat clowns. Because they taste funny.

My favorite is Cartman, too!  I like that he is just a fat, selfish, b--tard!  He is so like I would like to be sometimes, but I just can't because I am a grownup within a society that does not condone that behavior in us.  I would love to tell somebody " Bit--, get back in the kitchen and make me a pie!", although I often do tell my kids to "Respect my authoritiy!" .\n\nMy next is Chef!  Probably because I am old enough to know who Isaac Hayes is and it's just weird to know that it's him playing the part.  He's the only one in the whole town that has any sense, but even he gets carried away by the kids' antics... mating two differnt animals...  "Chocolate Salty Balls"!\n\nThe whole show is freaking hysterical to me.  I laugh so hard that I cry.  Satan and Saddam are funny too......  I just can't stop, they're all great characters!

Because stereotypically, it's funny.\nNow excuse me, but I'm off to watch Monty Python.

there are a lot of annoying parts to the show, but there is also a lot of very very funny parts. the problem is to see them you must stick with it through the entire episode. just take patrick for instance. patrick is the funniest character, but he's not in every episode. you're not going to see everything good when you just flip to the channel\n\nto understand the show you must throw away any reservations you may have for it because it is on nickelodeon. if you don't have any prejudice for it, i guarantee at some point in every episode you will laugh very hard. just ignore the sappy parts

Mangas have a lot of pictures and even if you don't understand the text, you an understand the pictures.  You can find Stories about every topic, like politics or bakery. I think, with Mangas you can learn something and have fun.

The best thing about them is the humour in each comic strip I read. The behaviour was pranky, but not to the level of discomfort. The Hobbes-change-from-doll-to-real-mate is a must not to be missed favorite thing of mine! Don't you just WISH that this can happen to our lives? You are good in spotting good cartoons, mate. High Five! I share this favorite with you!

It's smarter than people think.  Biting social commentary disguised as a satelite dish poking out of Cartman's ass.  Too funny.  But I wouldn't call it a show for any kid under the age of 16.  4th graders shouldn't be thinking these little dudes are their peers.  I love the show but wouldn't let my kids near it until they understood a lot more about life.  I'd sure hate to wake up one day and find them trying to mate a pig with an elephant!\n\nOh and F*ck you very much Uncle F*ucker had me ON THE FLOOR practically peeing my pants!

Sense of humor is just like beauty, in the eye of the beholder.  Some people think South Park is funny.  Go figure.\n\nAs for getting mad, you have to ask yourself that question, it sounds like you would know the answer.

Yes, they were so funny in a really stupid way. I would stay up and watch the Beavis and Butthead Moronathon on MTV. No matter how funny Cartmen is, he still can't top Cornholio.

People just like it. If you find it confusing, look up a couple fansites to help you out. I recomend absoluteanime.com if you want to know basic info on characters and such.

I enjoy watching it. I don't really have a favorite. I think they are all braver than me :)

Well, my all time fave is, of course, Calvin and Hobbes! It was like a metaphor for my life- I could always find a Calvin and Hobbes that spoke to what was happening to me in some way! Now, I love Fox Trot, just because it can always be good for a full-on belly laugh while I am reading the comics section! Plus, I love the Fox Trot character Peter, who in alot of ways reminds me of my own boyfriend Peter!

truth be told I like cartoons

Because Americans see cartoons as being a sort of low form of entertainment aimed at kids or immature adults. They are seen by the American culture as not being a very 'legitimate' media in terms of prestige. Americans do not pay animation a very high amount of respect, seeing it as childish or unrealistic.\nTherefore, it is easier for childish or humour-based stories to be accepted in cartoon format than a more serious plotline, etc.

Relax, Calvin wasn't "kicked out" of your paper. Bill Waterson retired. And yes, I think it is one of the best strips ever. I love the philosophical discussions between Calvin and Hobbes. My favorite episode is when Calvin saves a snowball in the freezer until July, so he can throw it at Susie Derkins ... and then misses! If you are a true fan, you will know what happens after that.

I think people believe they represent real life situations. \nPeople find the action exciting and stimulating. They like to see the bad get what's coming to him. Then there is the violence, people just have a morbid curiosity about the bad things people do to each other and tv brings right intto the living room now.

Don' worry about is, Hon. I am 33, married with an 11 yr old son. My favorite cartoon is Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Don't let your friends dictate what and who you should like. All my life, my friends and family know who I am, and never tried to change me. If someone says anything about me watching cartoons even today, I just shrug my shoulders and say "I have always liked them." You will be fine, don't try to grow up too fast! (Right now I am watching Codename: Kids Next Door, the Christmas Episode)
