Why is it comical about the appearance of the lean and slippered pantaloon?
The comical aspect of the lean and slippered pantaloon lies in the contrast between his former status as a respected figure in society and his current state of being aged and feeble. The image of him wearing slippers emphasizes his old age and implies a certain laziness or lack of vigor. This contrasts with the idea of the powerful and dignified figure he once was, making it humorous.
What did Shakespeare mean by the word pantaloons?
Shakespeare did not use the word pantaloons. He did use the word "Pantaloon", the name of a character in the Commedia dell'Arte, an old and lecherous man. Gremio in The Taming of the Shrew is described as a Pantaloon. It is in this sense that he uses it in Jaques' Ages of Man Speech in As You Like It, where he says that the sixth age slips into the lean and slippered Pantaloon.
What is lean and slippered pantaloon?

A male spayed cat has a hanging pouch toward the rear of his body and I want to know What is it?
My cat behavioralist told me my cat's pouch is there for added flexibility and has nothing to do with his weight. He is an orange tabby cat, which she claimed to be a good bird hunting cat and the pouch allows for hyper-extension and assists in jumping. She compared the pouch to the body of a cheetah, who is very lean, but has the same tuff of hair below its belly.
What the sixth age shifts?
These words are clipped from the middle of Jaques' speech in Shakespeare's play As You Like It, Act 2 scene 7, sometimes known as the Seven Ages of Man, which begins with the words "All the world's a stage". The passage is as follows: The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side So far Jaques has painted the picture of a man consecutively as a baby, a kid going to school, a twenty-something young lover, a man at his physical prime, and a man comfortable in his middle-aged success, or if you like newly-born, then about aged ten, then about aged twenty, then about aged thirty, then about aged forty or fifty. You see where this is heading. Our next portrait, the sixth, is going to be of a man aged sixty or seventy. "Pantaloon" is a character in the commedia dell'arte who is thin, elderly, rich and the butt of everyone's jokes. Our elderly man, the "sixth age", is like that. So what does "the sixth age shifts" mean? Think of shifting gears in a car. As the man ages, he stops being the pompous, square-bearded justice of the fifth age and starts being the thin, ridiculous old man of the sixth as if he were changing gears.
