Mikey is also a cartoon. It's just the idea that Splinter is almost as close as the ideal mentor/parental guardian/etc that has been conjured up. The act of him whacking Mikey all the time seems a bit out of the character compared to what I am used to.
It's actually funny when one of the brothers do it, but it just seems so wrong when Splinter does it. It's funny when he throws a phone book to get Mikey's attention, but it's not so funny when Splinter canes him in the head for being annoying. That in itself is kind of annoying as a viewer.
Besides, with The Battle Nexus aside, when is Mikey gonna get a chance to shine? He's always getting his thunder stolen from Leo, Raph or Don.
