So many of the funniest television shows of my lifetime have been animated. It seems like the comedy with both the most laughs and longevity has been found in cartoons. So much of the humor comes from the talent of the actors. I have often overlooked the ability of the voice actors to say something in a really funny way. South Park's actors are so talented that they even base entire episodes off of being able to say something in a funny way. So here are my top 5 funny things said in cartoons:
5. "If you don't like it, you can get out!" by the citizens of South Park. - The episode "I'm a little bit country" was built around the ability to say this in a funny way, and boy did it work. Especially in a very effective flashback.
4. Hank Hill's shudder - I think if I had the choice between being able to make this sound or sing like Josh Groban I would pick the former.
3."They took our jobs!"- Many characters exclaimed this in the "Goobacks" South Park episode. The episode was also built around being able to say this in a funny way, but this one gets the nod over "get out" because of a very funny reference in the later "WWE" episode.
2. Homer Simpsons' yell - Yes, his high-pitched yelp takes the cake over his infamous "D'oh!" The yelping sound he makes when he's scared tickles my funny bone every time. I also love the way his tongue quivers in his mouth.
1. Anything out of Eric Cartman's mouth - There are too many to choose from so I grouped them all together. "But MOOOM," "That's a bad Mr. Kitty!" and other things that maybe only appear in one episode are vocal gold. Though Cartman is one of the most easily despised characters around, his voice makes him so likable.
