'''''Legend of Polka''''' (''ポルカの伝説'') is a comedic TalkShow series hosted by WebAnimation/{{hololive}}'s resident fennec jester, Polka Omaru. Each episode follows a fairly typical talk show formula: Itzutsu, Polka's assistant, comes to Polka with the random topic of the day, and they spend most of the episode talking about it, usually to the embarrassment of Polka herself. Every now and then, the duo will find something else to do, like play a featured video game, quizzing Polka on something, or heading off-set to explore somewhere.\\\

* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHqRYL_Z8GY "Trade Offer: I Get Drunk, You Give Me Ideas"]] is a result of this trope, with Itzutsu pitching episode ideas to Polka that she brainstormed with the show's scriptwriter while they were both plastered. They range from the relatively mundane, like Polka catching up with her mom over the phone, to just plain mind-boggling, like asking Polka what the best-tasting brand of tissue paper is (which she [[NoodleIncident apparently has some experience in]]).
* CringeComedy: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6uaZUw_FNA "I Didn't Ask For That Info!"]] revolves around this, with Itzutsu prodding Polka about an amateur manga she drew while she was in 5th grade called ''Magical☆Tokki''.

** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfnYCqW7-YY "We Went to the Beach!"]], Itzutsu offers Polka a trip to the beach as a reward for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR8rohqiWg4&list=PLWGY2acU-ZeQQOdp1rukMK8MW_DgkMhds&index=1 sneeze-guessing quiz]] she previously partook in. What she really meant was Itzutsu and a camera crew recording beachside scenery for Polka's viewing pleasure, much to the latter's dismay. Cue a GilliganCut to Polka watching live action footage of Itzutsu walking around with a paper cutout of Polka's official art, pretending it's actually her.

* TheTeaser: Every episode opens with a scene of Polka doing something by herself before Itzutsu butts in to comment on what she's doing and/or segway into the episode's topic. Sometimes, what Polka does is related to the epsiode; other times, she's just goofing off and reading manga or playing video games.

** YAGOO, hololive's CEO, makes an appearance in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMjexEmkMIY "Today's Kids are INSANE"]]. The episode mostly consists of Polka answering mail-in questions from kids, but YAGOO comes along as the last "kid" in the lineup, introducing himself as a 47-year-old in the 41st grade, causing Polka to keel over in laughter.
