Ratings have soared since the series' repackaging, while video clips from the show have become viral sensations -- including the Security Council's flooding,[1] Susa Batko-Yovino's suicide attack,[2] and the public inquest into Cobdenia's alleged pro-Nazi sympathies.[3] Formerly obscure foreign personalities like Lizzy Hall, Chester Pearson, Eduard Heir and the Thessadorian Ambassador are now household names in Omigodtheykilledkenny.
TV critics attribute World Assembly's success to the astounding recklessness and stupidity of WA delegates. Critic Tim Shaleson observed, "It doesn't happen often, but when Kennyites come across people who are even dumber and crazier than they are, they are mesmerized."
World Assembly originates on Omigodtheykilledkenny's K-SPAN network.[4]
