If Kenny didn't keep getting killed, the punch line fail would be complete. As it is, it comes close. The correct answer is Butters. Or should I say ... Marjorine?
Hmmmmm, how does this compare with the four humours? Sanguine boke, choleric tsukkomi, melancholy moeblob, phlegmatic yamato nadeshiko. I think it works!
Tsukkomi and Boke are the two roles in Manzai stand-up comedy, similar to the "straight man" and "funny man" roles you'll often see with comedy duos in other styles.
If you want to know more about it, google it. Manzai is great stuff (although the culture barrier can make it a bit difficult to grasp at times) and there's plenty of easily accessible information about it out there.
Oh no I've read all of Azumanga and some of Hidamari, I just don't go about learning these words for which there are English equivalents anyway. Whoever did this, really, why not put 'idiot' and 'smartass'?

As said above, they're not the same thing. "Boke" and "tsukkomi" mean something very specific, with particular implications. Maybe if you'd actually bothered to take a look instead of blowing it off as something stupid because of something some guy said on the internet, maybe you'd have understood that.

I've actually seen something on Tumblr similar to this, except one row is characters from King of the Hill, and another row contains the two guys from Two Best Friends Play and JonTron and Egoraptor from Game Grumps. (And, also, there's probably a different lineup of general characters.) Anyone care to see it?
