Like the peasant couple that kicked Elfo out of their house for praising them. It felt like there was a funny joke buried in that scene, but we got rushed in and out of it without a really good set up. We may have even had a good punchline with "You're ruining our lives!", but without the set up there's no joke.
Then there were a lot of times when the comedy was supposed to be visual, but it felt like the animators didn't have the flourish to sell a sight gag. Times when a character would do something ridiculous, but have it just be a motion from point A to point B without any oomph.
Then finally, the foley was really weak. We have character dropping massive boulders on their own heads, and the sound effect they chose was the classic coconut clunk. Nothing sounded heavy, and that undermined the sight gag aspect too because the sound wasn't selling it.
