Want to show that someone is far from cool? They like (horrors!) polka! Bonus points if the dweeb plays the accordion.

Others will hate polka, simply because it's so dorky--and it can even be used to torment those who are intended to be cool.

  • Jon Arbuckle from Garfield likes Polka Music--and yes he also plays accordion.
  • Invoked in Biker Mice From Mars, when polka is used to subdue Modo's bike Lil' Hoss.
  • Used as a gag by Weird Al Yankovic, who does polka versions of popular music. And yes, he plays accordion.
  • Yosh and Stan Schmenge (John Candy and Eugene Levy) from SCTV.
  • The resident nerd Waldo Butters in The Dresden Files uses "Polka will never die!" as his Battle Cry.
  • Yosh and Stan Schmenge (John Candy and Eugene Levy) from SCTV.
  • Also John Candy's character in Home Alone.
