The Kingdom of Loathing (shortened as KOL) is an online, multi-player role-playing text adventure game, using limited graphics which resemble stick figures. A parody of traditional fantasy role-playing games, Kingdom of Loathing features humorous quests, items, enemies (ranging from evil tomato cans to mafia penguins), and text which emphasizes pop culture references and parody. Several adventure texts, item descriptions, or even images directly reference the Muppets and other Jim Henson productions.
