Hey, you know what's funny?
Foreign people.

Yeah... I didn't dig this.


I really feel similar about Ultra Peanut. Vlad too. I mean it gives them a definite character, someone who you can hear in your head, but it doesn't push the laugh button for me.
I like when they are not around.
I do like Click -bot's perfect english of Screw you man though. Didn't he have similar language problems? The fact that someone would program that function is great.

(Also, has Ultra Peanut ever gotten a clear country of origin? I realize that "FeeReep" clearly implies Japan, but it still seems a bit ambiguous.)


Maybe this is what Onstad is poking fun at, and why he leaves it a bit ambiguous.  Not that Asian people speak English funny (though I know that American English speakers get made fun of when speaking other languages--and I'm cool with that!), but that the stereotypes themselves are ridiculous.  Like when Krusty did his Chinese Man impression.  That itself wasn't hilarious (except to Bart), the fact that he did something so impolitic was.

But maybe that's expecting too much sophistication from a man who creates stuff like this.

Wieners and boners, people.  Wieners and boners.

We've established through another thread that UltraPeanut is actually Chinese.

I don't know if the alt-text of her first appearance is the same as it was when first posted, or if Onstad only changed it recently.
