CALM THE FUCK DOWN, PEOPLE

seriously, guys, I leave for a weekend and this place goes all "mankind in a state of nature" crazy over here. Anyway I'm back now so RELAX and let's get back to our usual brand of xkcd-hating.

fun fact while I'm here: I think today's dinosaur comic is really bad.

  1. Conclusion: Carl should never leave!

    Kidding, I heart Rob too. And about that DC, I thought it was a little funny, but mostly because I enjoyed the phrase "It's Foreshadowing taking off her negligee!" But perhaps I would have enjoyed it more if it had made some sort of pun on the term "flash."

  2. I liked the DC.

    BTW, XKCD is pretty bad today. Have fun.

  4. It's like he was quoting directly from http://www.tvtropes.org/

  5. Gotta be careful with a blog founded on hatred: that hate can get out of control and burn the bloggers (nice comment juggling, Rob).

  6. Ah, I agree! I did not enjoy today's too much either.

  7. I enjoyed today's Dinosaur Comics (thanks for reminding me to read it, by the way). To me it does random humor right, where that baseball xkcd failed at absurd humor. The play on words in panel 5, combined with the completely bonkers example it pertains to, and Utahraptor's reaction... and then T-Rex just keeps going, clearly so swept up in his imagination that he's stopped caring if his audience (Utahraptor) understood what he was saying in the first place... well, I find it quite funny. I've always been a fan of using pointlessly weird analogies to explain mundane theories.

    That and I love the dialogue in the alt text. I can almost feel the awkward tension between Shakespeare and T-Rex :-)

  8. Look guys - we've been through a lot of hate together here at Carl's place. We've fought the Cuddlefish, mocked the forumites, and made witty banter in the comments section. However, no matter how stressful, how divisive, how violent things got, there was always one thing of which we could be sure:

    Everything is better than Electric Retard.

  11. You may have seen this already, but apparently someone registered xkcdsucks.com.

    Unfortunately, it's godawful.

  12. SORRY AMANDA

    There's a reason I didn't make it a link. Electric Retard is like an unfunny version of LegoRobot Comics. It is terrible and I hate it.

  13. Dinosaur comics was ever good?

  14. Jay, yeah, it's pretty bad... but the best one is actually okay.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Also poore, it's okay. I've blocked most of it out of my mind. Let's just never speak of it again, yes?

  16. Alas, the other xkcdsucks website is unfortunate. I can't imagine that anything will come of it though, so I'm just going to ignore it and hope he's paying a lot for that URL.

  17. Guys, guys, what if the other xkcdsucks is actually just Randall making fun of us?

    ReplyDelete
  18. That's preposterous! Such a tactic is a) way too meta and b) requires way too much original thought for it to be Randall's work.
