Following along in ZW's path, I'm with her on the view of what is "lame and mornic" versus "quirky & humerous" is a purely personal thing. We all have our likes and dislikes. There are things in the game that I find to be outright annoying (like busking in private residences), but others that tickle my funny bone (like the penguin). Other folks may find the exact opposite.
IMHO, most of the problem is that it's not the specific behaviors themselves, it's the frequency of the behaviors, like the toddler going for the toilet every single time you turn around (though that one I have to admit is pretty close to my know reality, especially with little boys! LOL) and a hungry Sim always going after a Lobster meal. EA/Maxis could have set the behaviors a little less aggressively. Moderation rather than the near extreme attraction that they have.
