Why he might be annoying:

He is the guy that won't shut up in the movie theater (ok, we know that was the joke!)
He looks like an insomniac.

Why he might not be annoying:

He is left handed.
He did everything on MST3K, from building the props, to puppeteering to writing the scripts.
LA Times said of Hodgson's MST3K show that it 'contains some of the hippest, deepest satire of the generation.'
He is an extremely clever cutting edge comedic genius.
