Boo · Answer 1

Comic, exaggerated

Explanation:

Jim Smiley is clearly a funny character, betting on rather arbitrary things like how far a frog can jump. He's exaggerated in the sense that he'll bet a large sum on pretty much anything ($40 in Mark Twain's day was roughly a thousand dollars today!)
