South Park and Edgar Allan Poe

South Park, Season 17, Episode 4: "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers" 





Edgar Allan Poe is summoned by the Goth and Vamp kids at South Park Elementary to help them save their friends/the world from becoming emo. I think this is an interesting portrayal of Poe; he's summoned as the "spiritual progenitor" of the goth and vamp kids, but doesn't really care about goths, vamps, or emos for that matter. It's also rather unflattering.
