I think my problem with Alf is it wasn't particularly good or funny, yet ORF had the brass neck to withdraw from the ESC in a hissy fit yet submitted Godawful tom-tit like Alf and Global Kryner, wondering why the rest of Europe gave them the bum's rush.
I'm not a huge fan of joke entries but if we must have them they ought to be of the standard of Verka Seduchka or InCulto (although their "Welcome to Lithuania" was better and less offensive than "Eastern European Funk") , not some tit with his nutty relatives singing about cockroaches and rabbits, or yodelling Cuban salsa.
