His gimmick is terrible, hes not very funny at all.
Problem is WWE keep pushing more and more kids characters Brodus, Santino, Cena and even Bryan and Punk to some degree and ut just makes viewing so hard for us older fans the fans that if it wasn't for us then the product wouldn't exist, times like last night show blatant disrespect for anyone over the age of 13.

I understand some need for kids characters but it is sometimes just way too much.

Hornswogle bitting people asses for fuck sake.

He's just the underdog aimed towards the children.

Voted for the last option. I've never found him funny. I realize his place in the WWE though, he's a comedy jobber to entertain the young audiences, but he shouldn't hold a mid-card title because it's makes the whole mid-card division look bad when this goofball is representing it. He's ruined the already awful U.S Title, by never really defending it and WWE seem to place more value in having him in tuxedo matches with ring announcers and cringe-worthy backstage segments to find the GM (like he did last night). His act is beyond stale and I can't even see how some people who were defending Santino months ago (you know who you are) can tolerate his shit now. He's quite possibly THE worst thing in the WWE today, even worse than Bryan and Ryder and that's really saying something.

They made Santino in to a modern day Doink because no one gave a crap about "a fan that suddenly became a wrestler" AND because Santino isn't that good in the ring. I don't find the humor funny. Used to I could tolerate it, but now it is stale beyond belief.

Yeah, I think he is funny. I don't necessarily laugh at everything he does but I can't fault his comedic timing. What he's doing – pg level humour in a live, 'variety show' style environment - is very, very difficult. Kudos to him for not making a total mess out of what's he's given.

The US title is technically the WCW US title, so to think that the US title was held by the likes of Steve Austin, Chris Benoit (He is still a legend, forget what he did) Ric Flair and Goldberg and is now being held by Santino is pretty much insulting to the title's legacy.
