* CrazyAwesome: What '''else''' can you call a living clown cartoon who stops an interdimensional invasion with a mallet, defeats a rampaging vigilante by kissing him on the lips, foils a five-year-old MadScientist with a spanking, stops a rampaging irradiated nuclear bum (no, that's not a typo) with a cup of coffee, and ''[[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0_ynVlwAg9U/RgXoGtCU7pI/AAAAAAAABW0/eWYHK-O8dM0/s1600-h/9d.jpg dumps a bucket of water on Ghost Rider's flaming head]]''?

* GeniusBonus: In the 2016 series, the Scientist Supreme of Dimension Ecch reveals that his name is Julius T. Flakfyser. This is a ShoutOut both to [[Creator/MarxBrothers Groucho Marx]] (whose real name was Julius), as well as ''Film/BrainDonors'', a modern remake of the Marx Brothers' ''Film/ANightAtTheOpera''.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: His retooled personality as of Avengers The Initiative. Some see it as a realistic view of someone who's jaded with years of being a screwball hero in a dark universe. Most fans of his older series hate the fact that his personality took a complete 180 and effectively turned him into the very character type he was created to mock. It gets worse in Deadpool's 2015 series where his character was reduced to "violent and gritty because he lacks a penis."
* CharacterRerailment: His 2016 mini effectively served as a transition from his darker post-Civil War personality back to something closer to his original screwball personality. In the end, he stops caring about being locked in toon clown form and being considered a joke among his peers and starts trying to enjoy life again.

Those are not YMMV tropes, plus The Mask and Slapstick aren't the first zany heroes with cartoon physics-related powers.


* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute / CaptainErsatz: With his recent CerberusSyndrome, Slapstick has now fully become one for the original "Big Head" version of ComicBook/TheMask, becoming a horrific example of what happens when someone uses cartoon slapstick in a "realistic" universe, as opposed to his original status of being one for the much lighter (and more heroic) [[Film/TheMask movie]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheMask TV version]].

Base Breaker requires two or more differing opinions about a character, not just complaints in general.


* BaseBreaker: A lot of fans were not too happy with his post Civil War appearances which make his personality take a full 180 from a fun-loving trickster to a violent, jaded sociopath.

* CharacterDerailment: Many fans believe this happened to Slapstick after ''Avengers: Initiative'', where he went from being a carefree prankster into a deranged MonsterClown. Others argue that the line between CrazyAwesome and AxeCrazy is a thin one...
