In the last poll, I asked which toon would make the best first impression for a newcomer. This poll asks the opposite question: what toon would make the worst first impression? Is there a toon with a lot of references, differences from the rest of the series, or a simple lack of quality that makes it less accessible? I think some of the Main Pages might fit this criteria, especially since they're likely to be one of the first things someone might see on the site. Since the site selects one at random, a new visitor could get a Main Page representing a variation or alternate universe that doesn't reflect the body of work as a whole. (This is something the Homestar Rerunner blog discusses occasionally when Main Pages are brought up.) Obviously there's also the early stuff like Super NES, Marshmallow's Last Stand, and The Reddest Radish (my parents' first toon) which aren't that good, and very different from any other toons. I'd also mention the ones more reliant on self-referential humor (Halloween Hijinks is one that comes to mind), but those usually still have jokes that can be enjoyed without prior knowledge, so they're not too bad to start with.
