A Chinese-opera-masked, armless kung-fu fighter with a meter-long braid made of iron. (GOD I LOVE CHINESE COMICS.)

Things that sound charming in myth but get taken a bit too far, such as a snow princess who has an eye melting off the side of her head. (Pugyuru is the most cracktastic anime I've ever seen.)

Pretty much anything involving dolls and automatons.

Crazy-ass feats ala the Princess Bride ("I'm not left-handed either," and the whole poison thing).

Metaphors made real and nonstandard transformations: a girl who is a door, a cat-rabbit who is a spaceship, a Welsh corgi who is a supercomputer (or something). Also, nonstandard magic items, like such as L. Frank Baum's wish-granting diamond-studded gold dishpan and soothsaying mechanical pink teddy bear (the Oz books get much more cracktastic after the first one).

Unexplained randomness: a watermelon in a lab, that same Welsh corgi...

I dunno, I love everything that makes me say "Wait, WHAT?" "..." *hysterical laughter* "That's AWESOME!"
