I think one of the reasons so many people didn't "get" it at first was the lousy translation. I rewatched ep1 with the wind sub and it was orders of magnitude more sensible than previously. AFK seems to be the consensus favorite, and I don't disagree with that either. But the jokes here don't have a chance with a sloppy sub.

What made it work for me is Konata revisits the topic at the end of the show. Can you say, "running gag"?
I also liked it better now that I understand the personalities better. The seriousness with which ultra-otaku-Konata declares, "You don't flip it."
