"[a] vitriolic and bitter collection of unwarranted nastiness about a silly and harmless comic."
Welcome. This is a website called XKCD SUCKS which is about the webcomic xkcd and why we think it sucks. My name is Carl and I used to write about it all the time, then I stopped because I went insane, and now other people write about it all the time. I forget their names. The posts still seem to be coming regularly, but many of the structural elements - like all the stuff in this lefthand pane - are a bit outdated. What can I say? Insane, etc.
I started this site because it had been clear to me for a while that xkcd is no longer a great webcomic (though it once was). Alas, many of its fans are too caught up in the faux-nerd culture that xkcd is a part of, and can't bring themselves to admit that the comic, at this point, is terrible. While I still like a new comic on occasion, I feel that more and more of them need the Iron Finger of Mockery knowingly pointed at them. This used to be called "XKCD: Overrated", but then it fell from just being overrated to being just horrible. Thus, xkcd sucks.
Here is a comic about me that Ann made. It is my favorite thing in the world.
Will there be a box that we can put suggestions in?
ReplyDeletePenis. Penis penis penis, penis penis penis penis penis...
ReplyDeleteYes, put them on this thread.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I think there'll be about two dozen entries identical to the first before the week is out.
ReplyDeleteFirst commentary I have:
ReplyDeleteLink both the entry and the commentary posts to the left of the site for easy access.
how about at the top?
ReplyDeleteHey Carl if say you enter and come up with another comic later on should we just go ahead and make a new post in the contest thread?

ReplyDeleteI see what you did thar

You can enter as much as you want. You can use the same post for multiple entries or different ones, either way.
ReplyDeleteI vote for my edit, because it outright says "xkcd sucks cock" instead of just beating around the bush.
ReplyDeleteThe rock climbing one was hilarious.
ReplyDeletei didn't think this was actually possible, but all the contest entries so far are EVEN WORSE than the original xkcd crap. amazing.
ReplyDeleteLook at me, I can edgy and stupid all I want because no one knows who I am!
ReplyDeleteI liked Noz's but I am biased because generally if it involves Batman I will laugh.
ReplyDeleteI also liked Marcus's comic as well. It worked great with the original XKCD. I just think the girl needs to say something to tie it together. Not exactly sure what.
Just my two cents.
Noz's is like "xkcd responds to xkcd". Yeah.
ReplyDeleteThe stone wall... the changes left the original speech line nonsensical. But other than that I like it.
CAPTCHA: fulosis. Anon 6:25 is "ful-o-sis".
NO CARL YOU NEED TO PUT THE LINKS ON THE LEFT
ReplyDeleteTHE TOP WILL NEVER DO
Man, the fields arranged by loss of virginity made me laugh, not because of the joke but because it gave the biologist holding an octopus a creepy connotation.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I posted a new one, as mean if not meaner than the first.
1337Salty = lulz
ReplyDeleteAre sociologists really all that likely to have lost their virginity at a young age?
ReplyDelete"Are sociologists really all that likely to have lost their virginity at a young age?"
ReplyDeleteCompared with you?
...yes.
OMG BUUUUUUUUUUURN.
ReplyDeletei've laughed at almost every entry so far, maybe randall should just draw the strips and outsource the texting.
ReplyDeleteThose are all awesome, here are the ones I really liked, if anyone gives a shit:
ReplyDeleteEdison
Timofei (kinda)
Sam (though it's old)
kat310 (this one was really funny)
nazlfrag (kinda)

ReplyDeleteThe above, by Edison, i am sure will go to the top 5.
Discuss.
i agree.
ReplyDeleteEdison, Edison, Edison!!!
ReplyDeleteMost of these seem to be borderline non-sequitur bile. Edison's is legitimately, legitimately funny.
Also, Kat's, but in a different, "not angry but just remixing the comic to be funnier" kind of way.
Cuddlefish out.
In descending order:
ReplyDeleteMarkus (the first one)
Edison
not pictured: me, somewhere above the top of your monitor
Person #1 in the other thread: that ain't no explosion. That's a wussy explosion. That's like the kind of explosion you get when a five-year-old plays in a sandbox.
ReplyDeleteAnn Apolis: I remember the comic your first entry comes from, but I'm trying and failing to find the original. Which number comic was that?
ReplyDeletenvm 449.
ReplyDeleteThese all blow!
ReplyDeleteJP's is the gayest
No wait, I just saw Jerry's! THAT'S the gayest. It was supposed to be clever, not gay.
ReplyDeleteIt would be funny if Randall was a winner.
ReplyDeleteThe whole contest is a bit confusing. The strips look like xkcd, but i keep laughing.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why you guys are even trying. Goatkcd clearly has this thing in the bag.
ReplyDeleteI put another one up. Its really more a comprehensive guide to Randall's love life, but thats another story.
ReplyDelete<3 <3 <3 Opus <3 <3
ReplyDeleteI don't remember or care how the voting is supposed to work, because opus already won hands down.
ReplyDeleteall the entries are fucking awful
ReplyDeleteWhich Ann comic is awful? I thought they were pretty good. I like the Randy Newman one, a lot...
ReplyDeleteAs for Fred's recent comic - I also had cut out those two girlfriend panels (loud and 'into light bondage') and was thinking about what to do with them. Well played, sir.
They're all terrible except the rock climbing one. I especially don't understand the relative lovefest for Kat's completely tiresome reuse of a stereotype that was beat to death years ago.
ReplyDeletehm, I guess mine is disqualified. I could just delete that layer in the gimp, but instead I will go to bed.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea why I found Person #1's comic funny.
ReplyDeleteI just posted a comic in the contest submissions comments but it said it had to be approved. Am i in after the deadline?
ReplyDeletelets say YES.
ReplyDeleteCARL YOU ARE SO MEAN
