Plus, for artist types, as soon as we hear the word "rule", we want to rebel. The setting up a pattern and then breaking it with comedy is more of the unknown element that works I guess, not the number of times you do it. Yeah, I tihnk “rule” is too harsh of a word.

I don’t buy the “rule of three” thing.
Man; if it’s funny, keep it up.
Running gags work well with funny stuff in my opinion.
But even though that whack over the head is funny with that cool sfx and funny animation; you gotta know when to quit. then give it to the audieence again later outta nowhere!!! BANG!!!!!!!
That’s my opinion only.
Take care and thanks buddy.
Your Pal….jeff

While there are formulas of sorts for things, you never know for sure how something is going to work until you try it out and get some feedback. Storyboards and animatics can help you get the input you need for fine tuning before you get too far along into production. That’s the kind of thing that you just have to test out.
