>>55992446JN managed this decently enough. A lot of the humor came from Ash and Goh's stupidity and playing off of each other. They didn't tend to roast each other very often (there are like... 3 examples) but they found other ways to be funny. One of my favorite scenes in the whole show is when they're in a giant levitating ball of Gulpin that's destroying Vermilion City.
>Ash starts giggling amidst the destruction>Goh begs Ash to tell him he's not enjoying this>Ash starts laughing even moreSo stupid but very funny
