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.

Thats ridiculous, Splinter deserves the same rights as the other characters to whap Mikey upside the head. Besides, it's not like he does it visciously, it's just a whap on the head, nothing more.
