Unfortunatly it's so over used, and put in situations it shouldn't be in. Comic Sans is pretty good for the a font that is prepackaged with other cheap fonts on various common software.

If we're talkin fonts in general then Gotham and Helvetica :) @Sock Poppette

And sometimes I see it in government forms. Imagine that. Sometime ago I've seen a video of the guy who designed it saying that if you love comic sans you don't know anything about graphic design BUT if you absolutely hate comic sans you don't know anything about graphic design! @Sock Poppette seefish3 is right... When a font as a "sans" in the name it means it doesn't have a serif. A serif is that finishing embellishment to a letter... Take a look at Neatorama's N for instance... See that "continuation" of the N's vertices? That's a serif right there. If you're confused google it... Wiki has a good article on that. Well… my eyes burn with rage whenever I see that font!

It's difficult to describe what a serif is without an example, but consider them a sort of font furniture, an embellishment on certain fonts. I believe it’s short for SANS SERIF or “without serif” .
