Why is it that cows are so often the source of humor?
Is it just that they seem so dumb, sitting there all day, chewing on grass, giving milk and waiting to be eaten? Or just that they are ridiculous looking animals?
Think about, for example:
• How many times intelligent cows were the main characters in Far Side cartoons
• The scene from the movie Twister where they had to swerve to avoid flying cows
• The Chik-Fil-A advertising campaign with the cows in sunglasses urging us to "Eat more chikin"?
• The Wendy's commercial where the cow on top of the car steals the little boy's meal?
So, why do you think the cow is so often chosen as the barnyard animal that makes us laugh the most?

When you think about it, if they were a wild animal they probably could not survive and would have been extinct a long time ago. Easy pickens for wolves and coyotes or other animals of prey. Very domesticated and have been for a long long time.
