  1. Pokey WHO? by 23skiddoo · · Score: 2

    This is the first time I heard of Pokey. I went and started looking through the archives, but after about 15 or 20 of 'em, I just couldn't take it anymore. I'm sure there are those that could find humor in something that looks like it was drawn AND written by a nine year old on acid--and I must admit the "Mr. Nutty" episode was pretty funny--but I guess I'm just missing it. (I'm also sure that someone will say "That's the point!") Sure, it's surreal and makes arcane references to literature and the UN, but is that funny by default? Maybe if I read *every* archived episode, I'll enter into a zen-like state of serenity and find the joy-buzzer of enlightenment, but I don't think it's worth the time....
    Oh, for added flame-bait, I should add that I don't think South Park is the pinnacle of comedy that everyone thinks it is.
