Here is a cartoon style Funky text effect in Adobe Illustrator for you. The purpose is only to tell you some commands, tools and techniques in Illustrator, so you will get some basic knowledge about Illustrator. Must try it to learn Illustrator too.
1. Lets start with a new Document of any size. Now draw a rectangle by using Rectangle Tool 
and fill it with #97d8ea color.

12. Select first character S and then select Gradient tool 
and then bring Gradient Panel by pressing Ctrl+F9 or by running the command Window >> Gradient. Make a gradient from light Red #ef181d to Dark Red #a00700 like shown below: Then apply this gradient to all characters one by one.
13. Now select all letters again and then go to Object >> Group. Select your group text and press CRTL+C and CTRL+B to copy and paste (Ctrl+B will paste behind the original):
14. Now select Duplicated text one by one and rotate it like shown below and give it Light Red color:
