Something about the timing on this always makes me laugh.

I still don't understand "timing". What's an obvious example of good or bad timing?

Honestly I also don't understand timing very well, I hope there is one sequence that get animated twice by different animators to get how different timing affect the scene.

There are animators known for their unique timing. Try these:

Maybe this will help you, it's kinda the same scene (different SB) by different animators. Kameda has distinct Kanadaesque timing.

Key Animators make timing charts for the tweeners essentially telling them how much in-betweens the cut needs and where to place them, depending on the in-betweens positions it creates what we call "timing".

Thanks for this. I don't totally understand it when looking at complete clips, but I do have a better understanding of the concept at least.

I found these two videos to be pretty helpful in breaking down how timing and in-betweens effect how animation flows.

You can start this one like 5 minutes in if you want:

Personal favorite animator in regards to unique timing is Yoshimichi Kameda. Stuff like this:

Okay I think I'm getting a better grasp. In regards to Kameda there's a kind of rhythm to his action. I guess there are less inbetweens in specific areas to give a sorta stylistic sense of speed and weight.
