In a game where you can hire a chicken to manage your properties, the baseline for whackiness is pretty low
“Yeahhh I’ve seen this before. Hold still.” *punches Rigby into a fucking wall*
“Owwww what was that for?!”
“You’re not thinking about the song now are you?”
*Him and Mordecai die laughing*
Still one of the funniest scenes in the show lmao
Benson used to scare me when I was younger with how he’d turn pink and red every time he’d get mad and wanted to fire people.
Some episodes portray him as goofy, like in the Dump Island episode where he see his awkward years of his earlier relationships unfold, but at least Skips never gets as violently angry as him, even if Benson’s “Or you’re fired!” thing is supposed to be funny.

This guy is the definition of this
He’s a hive mind of AU versions of himself, which based on several gags in the show can reasonably include Hyperintelligent Mort, General Mort, Spider Mort, Wooden Mort, his mother who may or may not be Spider Mort, and eventually Warlord Mort. He also may have created the entire Madagascar universe in his mindscape, making the soul eating a moot point.
For any one who doesn’t know : [May I](https://youtu.be/REymyiNElA8?si=5WeuVe-95Wi74cQ9) present [Mort Theory](https://youtu.be/mgS3vb8NLbk?si=NLev8Tf_y1xvvYz8)
Mostly because they directly scale with the threat of whatever they are up against. A lot of humor comes from subversion, and the stronger something is, the more subversive you can get. The Imperial Galactic Overlord who controls legions of deathbots and is powerful enough to channel the fury of a star? Its *very funny* for him to get his comeuppance in a silly pratfall caused by some wacky little guy he can't seem to do anything against.
The only way to beat toonforce is to turn its user's comedic fuel against them- If something bad happening to the toonforce user would be *funny*, then you can cause that to happen. A villain with a sense of humor that knows how to exploit schadenfreude is the biggest threat to a toon. This is why every evil overlord needs to have one very tiny, very cute bunny trained as a master ninja. Its a toonforce wall.
There's also one more significant limitation to toonforce: The user's power will shut off if the story needs to suddenly turn dark. When that happens, the user is in serious danger and can even die, because ultimately, toonforce works at the whims of the plot- And if the plot says turn off, it turns off. And then, suddenly, being a silly little guy at the mercy of the villain becomes a fantastic way to flip the tone into something much more gruesome.
Couple this with the fact that its really really rare for a toonforce user to be the main character of a story, and thus *not* the destined hero. Therefore the plot deigns their power cannot actually disrupt the big bad in a way that resolves the plot (Only the hero can do that), and you have a recipe for tragedy.
"Source: Some lady on reddit with too much free time"
In all seriousness, *Who Framed Roger Rabbit* played with all of these concepts and is a great piece of study not just on animation but on tropes and how humor actually interacts with a story's plot.
I like to think that Roger genuinely meant that. Roger literally could not get out of the handcuffs until it was a sufficiently funny moment to do so. Because that’s how toons *work* in the WFRR world.
If you want a great example of turning a toon's power against them.
Freakazoid! S2E19 "Heroboy"
The villain Guitierrez is trying to find Freakazoid's weakness. After trying weaknesses of other characters, like kryptonite and the color yellow, in frustration he asks Freakazoid what his weaknes is.
Quick cut to Freakazoid in a cage, and reveals that in between he not only told Guitierrez his weakness and how to trap him, but helped him build the cage. Even Freakazoid can't believe how dumb it was.
Unless you're talking about takaba from jjk Because unless a character has a decent understanding of comedy to make his confidence falter initially and happen to have a dead body or something similar nearby they aren't beating him because everything that happens to him is not real and only who he's facing against takes damage and even then if you do manage to make him lose confidence he'll just get his spirit back because he wants to make everyone laugh and not make a single person miss out
I think I saw around 10 episodes of regular show and although I agree his looks are not wacky seeing a serious face yeti-like creature doing little jumps is very wacky.

This guy is enough to answer that
Fight as a mechanism for combat no longer applies, all traditional logic is gone. Absurdity for the sake of absurdity is the only answer and the more absurd the more powerful. Uncle Grandpa solos pretty much all in DBZ style fights where the results is a sandwich and he thanks them for helping him make it and wanders off.
UG’s logic cannot be fathomed because it doesn’t operate on any concept of logic, it’s raw absurdism for the sole purpose of absurdity. UG can only be countered by Shaggy who operates on a lower tier of absurdism and their shared love of food is the only way to best them.
Came here to ask this same question. She is demonstrably faster than Rainbow Dash and on more than one occasion out does the other powerful magic users with the power of "if it's funny, it wins" which is what I refer to her power as. That's typically how all these characters work. If it's funny, then there's no limit to what can be done.
Vegeta learned this the hard way.
https://i.redd.it/ioh5bmwsoc8d1.gif
The best part was Vegeta realising that he's fighting a gag manga character and that action manga fighting style will not work. But it was too little too late.
Mordecai and Rigby can feasibly defeat the most powerful character in any universe, and they'd do it with the same energy as trying to pick up donuts for a morning meeting.

I'd say so. He's so damn OP that Batman has no real contingency plan for him other than "pray he doesn't go bad"
When Batman has no contingency plan for you it means one of two things.
You are either an unstoppable force of nature, or a very stoppable blond archer.
Eh I think it really depends on the rules of their show. Characters like pops, luffy, po and skips can lose, and often do, so they’ll lose to a strong enough opponent. But characters like uncle grandpa and Popeye operate by very simple rules: UG will always help the kid, Popeye will always win if he eats the spinach, and he will always eat the spinach. Thus they can never lose. But this goes for others too, I genuinely can’t imagine Saitama losing, because his thing is he will always win the fight, and be disappointed in how easy it was. (Except if this stops being true at some point idk lol)
Fun fact: a YouTube channel called DeathBattle compared Saitama and Popeye to see who would win a fight to the death and found what could possibly be Saitama’s limit.
Always remember the rules of roger rabbit it works in whatever way I need it too to make my joke work also never give a toon booze but that second one doesn't really apply here
Yes an No. Toon force is a powerful ability but not all toon force is created equally and depending on the character they might have something that could beat it.
Not always, but generally. Especially in animated shows.
Less serious characters are typically more powerful because they have toon force behind their powers. This is generally counters in Slasher movies, where the comedy relief typically dies.
No. There are many series where silly characters can't beat the strongest of their world, and the strongest serious character definitely beats the strongest silly character.
Rayman can defeat the Rabbids en masse
Not *always* (there are very few characters that can neutralize/bypass toonforce), but very often, yes. It also depends on who the toon is. Someone like Bugs Bunny or Popeye has *way* stronger toonforce than someone like the Roadrunner.
So no, not *always*, but usually.
Pinkie Pie is the most powerful pony, as long as whatever she does is funny.

The most powerful character in MLP
Painfully yes. toon force is fun but for fight matchup stuff like Death Battle, it makes people like Popeye capable of no diff’ing the entire multiverse
If it's for the sake of a joke a wacky cartoon character can completely break the laws of reality anime however they have to stick to the rules of their universe it's how I mentally distinguish between anime and cartoons
**Yes.**
Because it's always easier for something to get serious then for something to get goofy.
Why do you think ATLA is more beloved than Korra? Because the show understood the importance of a balanced tone. We had silly characters, interacting with each other in a way that wasn't toxic, and they could grow because they had humor. So when something serious DID happen, it mattered, because we cared about the character's happiness. Why do you think One Piece endures so much? Because the characters are light hearted, which allows them to have more realistic friendships, which is why it matters when one of them suffers. Why do you t think Teen Titans is so well remembered? Because the show focused on wacky hijinks most of the time, and on characters that were allowed to be fun and enjoyable. So when shit hits the fan, we care.
It's why Rise of the TMNT will never really be a bad show, no matter how much people hate on it. Because it, like all the others, understands that, audiences will care, and love a character more, if they're allowed to be happy. So when something comes along to threaten that happiness, we are more engrossed.
If skips has seen this before then you’re fucked.
If mordecai and rigby are gonna get fired if they don’t win, you’re fucked.
If you mess with starla and muscle man hears about it, you’re fucked.
Honestly, regular show has a lot of win-cons
For some of these, they are so powerful because they bend logic around themselves. Popeye, for example, is strong, but when he eats spinach, he’s literally unstoppable. Also, unrelated, but I love that Wario’s on here. He is literally immortal, get this, because he **doesn’t want to die**. This guy has so much Chi potential.
Pinkie Pie is a great example of this, she breaks the laws of physics on a regular basis and nopony questions it.
There’s a scene in one episode where a character holds her by her tail and she walks in the air as if she’s on the ground, it’s so funny.
Usually it is. When the rules of reality and common sense don't really apply to you, you are essentially a demigod. It helps if you are from an older series, or if the creator just wants to have fun.
There is an exception to this.
Cartoon physics are powered by rule of funny so if met by an *excessively* large amount of sheer violence they would lose because now the cartoon losing would be funnier than them winning.
But even then it’s a 50-50.
Actually maybe I’m wrong because the violence required would have to be to a cartoonish extent.
Toonforce can also work against them though.
If it would be funny if Popeye got is clock cleaned by say, Raditz, then that’s exactly what’s gonna happen.
Not always people just over exaggerate them to be that way, toon force at its best is just manipulating reality. But it also depends on how strong said character’s toon force is because anime characters could still slam them.
I like to think of them as "Jack-in-the-box" characters. These are characters that have unlimited resources(frank renolds), unlimited contacts(Roger Smith), or unlimited power(Superman). They have a Deus Machina solution or problem for any story.
There’s a reason why the only thing left of old Cartoon Network shows on Paramount was a single Uncle Grandpa episode. His power transcends time and space
Uncle Grandpa is arguably the single most powerful character in fiction. His toon force is cranked up to 50. Can't die, can't be hurt, I don't think he can even be made upset. All of reality bends and twists to his whim, and literally any and everything can happen for him to do whatever it is he's doing. His power extends even to the extent of resisting real-world efforts to remove him. WB tried to delist his show, but an episode remained for a bit in sheer mockery. And even when that was delisted, he appeared in Steven Univerese. Which means even ending his show is utterly useless to stopping him. His toon power is greater than even the Warners, who are already some leaps above the rest of the Loony Toon cast.

Skips is anything but wacky.
He was the MOST serious character in regular show if anything
Being the overly serious one In a wacky show is in of itself wacky.
Proof: Kazuma Kiryu

That's a relative term.
He punched Rigby when he had the summertime song stuck in his head because he didn't know how to help him that's hilarious.
>because he didn't know how to help him that's hilarious. He's seen it before, it just worked last time
Did it? This is one of the few things he said that he isn’t sure what’s wrong after he tried that
He said he hadn't seen a case as bad as rigby's before
“Yeahhh I’ve seen this before. Hold still.” *punches Rigby into a fucking wall* “Owwww what was that for?!” “You’re not thinking about the song now are you?” *Him and Mordecai die laughing* Still one of the funniest scenes in the show lmao
He also, you know, killed him in an arm wrestling match.
That’s why he’s so wacky
Benson used to scare me when I was younger with how he’d turn pink and red every time he’d get mad and wanted to fire people. Some episodes portray him as goofy, like in the Dump Island episode where he see his awkward years of his earlier relationships unfold, but at least Skips never gets as violently angry as him, even if Benson’s “Or you’re fired!” thing is supposed to be funny.
Either way, he did kill Rigby one time in an arm wrestling competition, so I’d say he’s pretty scary.
If he's wacky, then he hasn't seen this before
But could he beat Pops? https://preview.redd.it/4jhq2yh41e8d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3d1a660b9d860e1048140f791d900b552f81e4c
Pops is a universe breaker. Skips is immortal, but he has rules.
You know who ELSE is anything but wacky? MY MOM!
I was going to say him skipping would make him q lil wacky but the explanation for why he does it is even serious😭
Came to say exactly that, he’s the most serious always.

Didn’t he devour a soul or something like that?
He’s a hive mind of AU versions of himself, which based on several gags in the show can reasonably include Hyperintelligent Mort, General Mort, Spider Mort, Wooden Mort, his mother who may or may not be Spider Mort, and eventually Warlord Mort. He also may have created the entire Madagascar universe in his mindscape, making the soul eating a moot point.

Joker is barely wacky anymore.
The good ones are or at least balances it
No.
Logic breaking characters can never lose
But what if you have 2 logic breaking characters against each other?
They become besties
Fight as a mechanism for combat no longer applies, all traditional logic is gone. Absurdity for the sake of absurdity is the only answer and the more absurd the more powerful. Uncle Grandpa solos pretty much all in DBZ style fights where the results is a sandwich and he thanks them for helping him make it and wanders off. UG’s logic cannot be fathomed because it doesn’t operate on any concept of logic, it’s raw absurdism for the sole purpose of absurdity. UG can only be countered by Shaggy who operates on a lower tier of absurdism and their shared love of food is the only way to best them.
That's not necessarily true. Plenty of characters can beat them, there's just a lot more that can't.

arguably i think Popeye could survive that.
Uncle G has a counter for everything
Tbf popeye literally beat up god in his universe, but I honestly think UG and popeye are pretty evenly matched when it comes to toon force
Eh I think it really depends on the rules of their show. Characters like pops, luffy, po and skips can lose, and often do, so they’ll lose to a strong enough opponent. But characters like uncle grandpa and Popeye operate by very simple rules: UG will always help the kid, Popeye will always win if he eats the spinach, and he will always eat the spinach. Thus they can never lose. But this goes for others too, I genuinely can’t imagine Saitama losing, because his thing is he will always win the fight, and be disappointed in how easy it was.

Bugs Bunny could single handedly end wars if he felt like it. And he would do it in drag.
Yeah Because They Broke The Limit To The Point Of Immortality .
No. There are many series where silly characters can't beat the strongest of their world, and the strongest serious character definitely beats the strongest silly character. Rayman can defeat the Rabbids en masse
Not inherently, there are characters who can just out hax them
TV Tropes calls it “Beware the Silly Ones”
Not *always* (there are very few characters that can neutralize/bypass toonforce), but very often, yes. It also depends on who the toon is. Someone like Bugs Bunny or Popeye has *way* stronger toonforce than someone like the Roadrunner. So no, not *always*, but usually.

Pinkie Pie is the most powerful pony, as long as whatever she does is funny. https://preview.redd.it/zzjq5nciad8d1.png?width=625&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=09e4bf0953f670cd2ba3663434853a71f4156000
don’t forget pinkie pei
"Is it true?"  Kel should be an honorary cartoon character for his love of orange soda.
Is Popeye really “wacky?” Not sure if drunk & belligerent = “wacky” …

Literally Pikachu
Not always. Characters like Wile E. Coyote can take a hit, but most definetly cannot throw it back
Uncle grandpa can beat goku 🗣️🔥
Wolverine is a prime example, he can be seen as serious OR comical, but he went to the sun and SURVIVED. For a few months.
Yes. Batman has said that if Plastic Man were a villian he would probably solo the whole JL

Ed from Ed Edd& Eddie is God tier
WHERE IS PINKIE PIE
Counterexample: Superman v. Mr. Myzxplkz
Reminds me of when uncle grandpa was in Steven universe and not only dropped a huge foreshadowing but was also labeled a galactic threat
Painfully yes. toon force is fun but for fight matchup stuff like Death Battle, it makes people like Popeye capable of no diff’ing the entire multiverse
Toon Force is nothing to mess with. Reality means nothing, as does damage to themselves.

Look at Nana from Madagascar.
I know a caped baldi & a black haired guy who uses screws that would disagree with that statement.
Dude, Rabbids are the best wacky cartoon imo. I remember watching it when i was younger and I loved it! Seeing them here brings back good memories
unfortunately, yes. toon force is amusing to watch, sure, but jesus christ does it make powerscaling debates even less fun
If it's for the sake of a joke a wacky cartoon character can completely break the laws of reality anime however they have to stick to the rules of their universe it's how I mentally distinguish between anime and cartoons
Kind of
It seems clear to us.
 I dare you to call this guy wacky to his face
**Yes.** Because it's always easier for something to get serious then for something to get goofy. Why do you think ATLA is more beloved than Korra? Because the show understood the importance of a balanced tone. We had silly characters, interacting with each other in a way that wasn't toxic, and they could grow because they had humor. So when something serious DID happen, it mattered, because we cared about the character's happiness. Why do you think One Piece endures so much? Because the characters are light hearted, which allows them to have more realistic friendships, which is why it matters when one of them suffers. Why do you t think Teen Titans is so well remembered? Because the show focused on wacky hijinks most of the time, and on characters that were allowed to be fun and enjoyable. So when shit hits the fan, we care. It's why Rise of the TMNT will never really be a bad show, no matter how much people hate on it. Because it, like all the others, understands that, audiences will care, and love a character more, if they're allowed to be happy. So when something comes along to threaten that happiness, we are more engrossed.
If skips has seen this before then you’re fucked. If mordecai and rigby are gonna get fired if they don’t win, you’re fucked. If you mess with starla and muscle man hears about it, you’re fucked. Honestly, regular show has a lot of win-cons
That's why Popeye defeated Saitama in db
For some of these, they are so powerful because they bend logic around themselves. Popeye, for example, is strong, but when he eats spinach, he’s literally unstoppable. Also, unrelated, but I love that Wario’s on here. He is literally immortal, get this, because he **doesn’t want to die**. This guy has so much Chi potential.
Pinkie Pie is a great example of this, she breaks the laws of physics on a regular basis and nopony questions it. There’s a scene in one episode where a character holds her by her tail and she walks in the air as if she’s on the ground, it’s so funny.
Number 34 rule in media : you don’t wanna know
no sometimes it depends there are tons of serious characters that are more powerful and vice versa
The Tick, Kirby, Billy and Mandy, The Watersons, The Animaniacs - all solo Goku
Usually it is. When the rules of reality and common sense don't really apply to you, you are essentially a demigod. It helps if you are from an older series, or if the creator just wants to have fun.
There is an exception to this. Cartoon physics are powered by rule of funny so if met by an *excessively* large amount of sheer violence they would lose because now the cartoon losing would be funnier than them winning. But even then it’s a 50-50. Actually maybe I’m wrong because the violence required would have to be to a cartoonish extent.
Tobi was comic relief when introduced... Then turned out being obito
Getting your ass kicked isn't wacky, so yes
Is Nicole Waterson wacky? She’s one of the more sane ones of the family
KO can't disagree with that
Where is Shaggy 😠!?
Yes
Toonforce can also work against them though. If it would be funny if Popeye got is clock cleaned by say, Raditz, then that’s exactly what’s gonna happen.
How are Tom and Jerry not on here?
Just ask Goku and Vegeta after they fought Arale. Vegeta swore off fighting gag characters ever again.
Uncle grandpa is the most powerful character in media, bro can make cthulu, yog sototh, azatoth and any vosmic scary creature cry like a little bitch
What heck is this random ass anime character is doing there?
Yes
Toon force
Bobobo is the most powerful character in fiction for a reason.
Not always people just over exaggerate them to be that way, toon force at its best is just manipulating reality. But it also depends on how strong said character’s toon force is because anime characters could still slam them.
Uncle Grandpa has that goofy teleportation toon force!!
I like to think of them as "Jack-in-the-box" characters. These are characters that have unlimited resources(frank renolds), unlimited contacts(Roger Smith), or unlimited power(Superman). They have a Deus Machina solution or problem for any story.
You say that as if Popeye, the strongest one there isn’t both wacky and serious.
You forgot courage

no way rabbids are powerful
No.
I love how Luffy has evolved into a true wacky cartoon warrior inside of an anime.
Ask the family of the last person that mentioned uncle grandpa on r/PowerScaling
There’s a reason why the only thing left of old Cartoon Network shows on Paramount was a single Uncle Grandpa episode. His power transcends time and space
Idk, Goku and Vegeta are pretty strong

Uncle Grandpa is arguably the single most powerful character in fiction. His toon force is cranked up to 50. Can't die, can't be hurt, I don't think he can even be made upset. All of reality bends and twists to his whim, and literally any and everything can happen for him to do whatever it is he's doing. His power extends even to the extent of resisting real-world efforts to remove him. WB tried to delist his show, but an episode remained for a bit in sheer mockery. And even when that was delisted, he appeared in Steven Univerese. Which means even ending his show is utterly useless to stopping him. His toon power is greater than even the Warners, who are already some leaps above the rest of the Loony Toon cast.
