I was more refering to threating people whom just passed away with some respect.

That would be a much more credible argument if we weren't talking about someone whose funeral was one last opportunity to make a joke. When you're having your remains buried in a giant prozac pill it's a pretty clear statement that you aren't treating death as a solemn and respectful event.

(And really, the whole "treat people with respect because they're dead" thing is highly overrated. If I don't respect someone in life I'm certainly not going to start respecting them just because they finally did something good for the world and departed it.)

What is uncanny valley?

It's where the creepiness of something spikes as it gets closer and closer to perfect realism, then drops again once it gets there. A cartoon is unrealistic but doesn't feel creepy because it's clearly intended to be stylized. Bad CGI feels a bit off, but is still stylized enough not to be too uncomfortable. Good CGI that falls just short is uncomfortable because we know something subtle is off, but can't really place it. Then obviously real people are just fine because everything looks right.
