The whole concept was recycled from a series of commercials for HA! The Comedy Network (they later merged with another channel and changed their name to Comedy Central).They all had a guy doing a bunch of wacky stuff and going "Is this funny? I don't know! I'm asking!" It worked better as an ad than as a cartoon.

The musical number was good, but I didn't care for the short itself.

For some reason, this would make a good Dr. Seuss book if the scripts have rhyming words.

I had looked for this for around ten years I remember me and my dad watching it on nick on a thanksgiving marathon around 2007 or 2008, and thought it was completely lost media when I searched for gingerbread men in prison, and could not find it for around ten years even posted about it on lost media on Reddit at one point. One day a couple of years ago I told my friend the story and he found it in 5 minutes lol thank you uploading and not letting this be lost and bringing back a fun thanksgiving memory!

This was such a smart, layered cartoon; there's just so much going on. The surrealism, the nonsensical choir and almost haunting little tune, the David Attenborough-style voice, the slapstick played totally straight meshing with the meta questions about humor and craft and cartoons (especially visceral, 90s era ones in the vein of Ren and Stimpy.) You could make the argument that it's not really supposed to be funny, and yet it manages it anyway.

Seeing this now,makes me wish Cosmo (from Fairly Oddparents) were in Slap's place doing these things trying to make Poof (or anybody) laugh. XD. And cause Darren Norris voices Slap and Cosmo.

I like the characters of Slap T. Pooch and the Tough Cookies, I just think that the concept of asking what is funny is something that you should never do when your trying to be funny. Sometimes things are funny just because they make no sense like that one Gingerbread man saying “I’m not a muffin” XD. They could’ve done this like Rocko’s Modern Life where you have this cool minded character in this crazy insane world. Also that choir with that farmer and his animals are very obnoxious, I feel like I’m gonna beat up that farmer and his friends if I hear him say “what is funny ?” one more time. Also it’s cool seeing this character appear in The Rugrats Movie in the Nickelodeon logo !!

4:47-5:27 I never thought I'd enjoy hearing criminally insane gingerbread men doing a blues number while attempting a jailbreak (never thought I say that like a normal sentence either).

This cartoon always had such uncanny feeling to it.

The music is way spookier than I remember it being. I feel like this was a fun idea for a short, but it's... just... well, not funny.

My favorite part was reading the sign of "Prison of the Criminally Insane Gingerbread Men". It was random like everything else, but one that just rolls off the tongue that even hearing it bursts into chuckles. And of course, the criminally insane gingerbread men have the personalities to match from singing to insane mantras to even "did you take a bite out of me?!"

This is... really bad. No wonder it didn't get picked up, the jokes fall flat, the concept isn't great, and the show is just annoying. But I will say... I think you could have done something with the concept of someone who can just *change the reality of the cartoon,* and use cartoon logic to get out of situations. Like what if Slap was stuck in the vat, and used the thumb-tacks to launch himself out, due to pain in cartoons usually being portrayed as the character being launched in the air? You can do so much with that idea, I feel....

i can see why this didn't get its own series, this is one of the most repetitive and inconsistent shorts I've ever seen all the main character does in the short is ask if anything that is happening in the short is comedic. while the singers are repeating the words what is funny like they think people will forget the title of this cartoon, i get it writers this cartoon is called what is funny. but do you really have to constantly hammer it down to the audience every second that you got? and the story completely goes from having this short be about a dog trying to ask the audience if anything he does is funny to this Gingerbread Men jail plot. either stick with one plot or the other plot guys

Asking the audience if something is funny or not feels like one of the things you shouldn't do if you're writing something that's intended to be comedic. Which is why the insane gingerbread men segment and that annoying singing pig that became bacon at the end were the only things that were remotely funny in this short pilot, to me at least.
