The funeral director at my father’s funeral used comic sans for everything.
A flop no but used hilariously for a things it shouldn’t be. One of the most divisive typefaces ever.
I like it.

That's hilariously bad. Our sweet old lady office manager 2 jobs ago used comic sans for every announcement.
Babies and new employees and that sort of thing it was fine. But using it for death notices of employees family members, with frowny face emojis, was a bit much. She was so sweet, but so very very oblivious.
I believe it's a fairly popular font with dyslexics as well.
My mother was an early childhood teacher for decades and used it in everything she printed for her classes. I asked her why and she said it bore the closest resemblance to proper block print out of all the fonts available. I went through several bouts of unnecessary glyph modifications in my own handwriting when I was a kid because I thought various fonts looked cool so maybe there's something to it.
Personally I don't get the outrage. In my opinion the likes of Bradley Hand ITC and Papyrus are abused more often but nobody's ever accused me of having good taste ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
