"[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seem to be coming regularly, but many of the structural elements - like all the stuff in this lefthand pane - are a bit outdated.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.
ahahahaha enlarged penis
ReplyDeleteunlimited plastic dongs in the mail is very close to my personal idea of heaven so randall has really struck a positive vibe with me with this comic.
ReplyDeleteNow hopefully we'll stop getting Markov Chain-spammed.
ReplyDeleteDue to my shitty Internet connection, the comic took a moment to show up. In those few seconds, I saw the title "3D Printer" and immediately assumed Randall was going to make a joke somehow related to sexy body parts.
ReplyDeleteI was depressed to find out I was completely right.
1. Who has EVER got spam through the post about penis enlargement/Viagra/penises? Nobody. It doesn't fucking happen.
ReplyDelete2. He's too lazy to even colour in megans hair properly.
@Anon11:42: I think the idea was that 3D printers will become so widespread that spammers can send you penises via e-mail (i.e. they just send you a template that you can print with your 3D printer).
ReplyDeleteOr something. I don't know. Randall's not in my head, after all.
Who the hell prints out their spam?
ReplyDelete3D photocopying of one's arse might have made for a more plausible joke.
Spammers want to sell something. if they print penises on your printer, they cannot sell them.

ReplyDeleteYou are now thinking about Randall towering over you, his little man in his hand.
Ahahahahahaha, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene penis.
ReplyDeleteAnd to that I would like to add: penis-enlargement spammers don't send you pictures of enlarged penises. So they wouldn't do so with 3D models. Therein lies the fatal flaw of 924. Randall, you need help.
ReplyDeleteClearly Randall wants for somebody to send him a sixteen-inch acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene phallus. He cannot actually buy a dildo due to social stigma involved in it. This comic is a cry for help, and Randall stopped short of actually including his home address (he concluded quite correctly that his biggest fans have already figured out where he lives).

But Randall would hear none of that. He needed his smart phone to be constantly connected to wikipedia.

"That's impossible."
"I was able to change the mind of Google, one of the most powerful companies in the world. When this next comic goes up, the nerds of the world will silence WHO."

ReplyDeleteGoogle is a branch of the NSA.

ReplyDeleteYes 2:22 corporations r gr8 they engage in honest free trade and accept no special favour and shareholders TOTALLY wouldnt accept any underhanded activity which increases profit.
ReplyDeleteOh, boy. More political debates.
ReplyDeleteCan't we all just agree that liberals are pissy, unintelligent sheep and move on?
Every grouping of people in existence engages in special favors and underhanded activity to further their aims. Corporations are no different, and can be held just as accountable. Look at News International.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone posited that Randall should just stop making comics while his to be bride is almost dying from fucking cancer? Considering his nerd reach and his vast swath of comics do you think anyone would mind if he just chilled out for a bit and, you know, remain undevotedly attentive to his probably scared as shit partner?

ReplyDeletein fairness to randy, it's not like he spends more than fifteen minutes a week making comics
ReplyDeleteGoogle plus looks to be the same pretentious shit as google wave, except with the added underhandedness of trying to destroy facebook. Reading the comments on the link some cuddlefish posted earlier (where the google+ testers took randall's penis into their mouths and jumped on the "gender identification is like totally an invasion of privacy u guise" bullshit train*) fills me with general irritation at the ignorant arrogance of its users. Yes, dipshit#1, thank god advertisers won't be able to learn what your gender is any longer thanks to trusty google plus! It is now literally impossible for them to know something as fucking obvious as your gender, because as we all know, once something's on the internet, it disappears right away. No, wait. That's not how the saying goes.
ReplyDeleteYes, dipshit#2, it is inspiring that the google+ admins are so receptive to user complaints, how noble of them to resist the currently nonexistent profit motive while they are still developing their product, and how inspiring that they are able to listen to the trivial bullshit through the requests they must be getting from the millions of people who use google+.
*being forced to display one's sex is not an invasion of fucking privacy. When you meet people in reality, do you know what sex they are? Yes. Yes you fucking do. And somehow, for literally all of recorded history humanity has survived this grave injustice. It's a goddamn miracle.
google+ has a much better interface and more immediately useful social features than facebook
ReplyDeleteeither way i still refuse to spend more than 5 minutes a week on a fucking social networking site but given that i already have gmail constantly open and do not have to do any extra work i find google+ far less irritating than facebook
the users are another story there are definitely a bunch of self important fuckheads wrapped up in a shitty world of crossposting circlejerks but given that it takes literally zero effort to ignore them i could not care less

ReplyDeleteI once made a Markov Text generator using only the transcripts from XKCD. It mostly sucked (as I guessed it would.) But I saved some of the funnier ones:

"The penis varies in size when flaccid and is pretty good If you're turning 27 and were born in the rotunda"
"The thought bubble is shared between the user and hot, sweaty, tangled-bedsheets-fingertips-digging-into-the-back sex."
"A person is pointing to a large pentagram with candles at the spawn point ... separate the labia, but watch out, there are more inside them ..."
"I'm teaching every 8-year-old relative to say "I love you" _before_ I hang up first, or we're OVER!"
I see a pattern.
@2:35: The News International thing is just Vince Cable's determined trolling of Murdoch finally paying off - and the Tories have always been the authoritarian party, so it's no surprise they want more control of the media.
ReplyDeleteAs for accountability, there is none. Murdoch won't go to jail. Brooks won't go to jail. A corporation is a shield against accountability. The NoTW will be replaced by the Sun on Sunday and business will resume as usual. (And if you think share price reflects accoutability you don't understand how the secondary market works.)
there was a brief period in American politics where it looked like we might actually start treating the criminals at corporations like criminals (cf. Enron), but the Supreme Court has recently been demonstrating that it believes corporations should have a lot more power and less accountability (cf. Citizens United) so I think we missed that era.
ReplyDeleteThe government can't go just around prosecuting corporations for doing illegal stuff, you know. They have to be heralds of free enterprise.

ReplyDeleteBut, Rob, I'm sure you can deliver the exact amount of laziness this comic deserves.
Anon, I am fairly certain it's not a relativity joke. I think you're supposed to enjoy it like you would enjoy Pictures for Sad Children, but being Randall he fails the execution miserably.

Randall is now moving towards the culmination of his plan. First he develops a large following of people with little to no social life. Then he develops a bestiary and a fictional world for it to habit. All the pieces will soon be in place for him to finally convert xkcd into a game of D&D, and be Dungeon Master to the largest party ever formed.

Yins is a cunt.
I is a trawl - not a troll!
Vultures are scavengers, not predators.
ReplyDeleteThough some have been known to 'hasten' the death of an otherwise mortally wounded or ill animal.
@ Kitten,
ReplyDeleteYou are right Kitten, we can't have Mr. Murdoch going the way of Robert Maxwell now can we?
Just not civilised.
Neil Kinnock, said of Maxwell: a man who "attracted controversy, envy and loyalty in great measure throughout his rumbustious life."
A rumbustious life! I strive to live one of those!
ALT-F, I would say you were more bombastic than rumbustious, but that word lies in ruins ever since Shaggy rhymed it with 'telephone-tastic'.
ReplyDeleteOkay, he might have been saying 'boombastic', but the effect is the same.
"....ALT-F, I would say you were more bombastic than rumbustious...."
ReplyDeletePast tense?
"Chat bout you body you know me have to get musical
Dem kind a woman de fe put me in a hospital
No mek me body get week and disfunctional
Woman a woman how you body so sexy gal"
Of course past tense. We were talking about obituaries, after all.
ReplyDeleteI have been informed that Shaggy never says the word 'telephon-tastic' and I have just made that up. My world has been turned upside-down.
I want my obituary to read:
ReplyDelete"Sic Transit Gloria Cunti"
I thought Shaggy and Shady were one and the same - so we're both worldly head over heels.
Personally, I prefer to be 'heels over head' though.
Ah shite!
Histrionics again.
HP's obituary will read:
ReplyDeleteHere lies Harry Potter
The boy who died
I wanted to admonish ALT-F, in a display of ironic pedantry, for confusing epitaphs with obituaries. Now someone else has made the same mistake, I'll just look plain pedantic.
ReplyDeleteUgh, whatever. It probably wouldn't have been worth the effort.
Fuck off!
ReplyDeleteA Laudatio Cuntiae then!
"Against you I will fling myself, unvanquished and unyielding, O Kitten"
You can dispense with the word "probably" in that declarative by the way.
@TLOK This is the sort of person who once read in a grammar text to use a comma for the vocative and ends up thinking it correct to write, "Neil Kinnock, said of Maxwell..." They're the worst of student because they achieve nothing except confidence that they deserve a reward just for trying.
ReplyDelete"...They're the worst (type) of student because they achieve nothing except confidence that they deserve a reward just for trying...."
ReplyDeleteI would say 'impudence' rather than 'confidence' and the Kinnock phrase was a 'copy-paste' from Wikipedia - blame those unlettered japing cunts!
Neil Kinnock, then Labour Party leader, spoke of him as a man with "a zest for life" who "attracted controversy, envy and loyalty in great measure throughout his rumbustious life."
ReplyDeleteActually, Anonymous, you are right!
I maladjusted the 'copy' before the final 'paste'. My paraphrase, ostensibly born of laziness, was illiterate in it's construction.
I shall learn and return stronger.
The Wikipedia folks are still cunts though.
And here I was hoping someone would point out your error in the most hateful way possible. Stop undercutting them, ALT-F!
ReplyDeleteI like 'T-LOK', by the way. It is the most gangsta of acronyms, for the most ungangsta of names.
You don't use "it's" for possession, you dumb shit.
ReplyDeleteCaptcha: wimmin. Amirite, men?
Dearest Doof,
ReplyDelete"....You don't use "it's" for possession, you dumb shit...."
Ain't I just!
The phrase "was illiterate in it's construction" is itself illiterate in its construction.
How 'bout that?
"Legion of Kittens" is ungangsta?
ReplyDeleteNext you'll be telling us NWA is North West Airlines!
My self-referential 'construction' quip of 12:35 PM?
ReplyDeleteWas that 'meta'? Or am I misunderstanding how you lot use that word?
I used to like reading these comments. Now it's shit.
ReplyDeleteYou mean: 'Now they're shit'
ReplyDeleteRight?
It could be that the act of "reading these comments" is shit.
ReplyDeleteIndeed Doof, you are correct.
ReplyDeleteI seem to fixate on one interpretation of an English phrase when I know that any given English phrase might be rife with multiple meanings.
T-LOK has revealed this failing of mine often.
"The phrase "was illiterate in it's costruction" is itself illiterate in its construction."
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of phrases are 'literate', exactly? Parsers?
Captcha: Murgical. Diction sniping is a murgical pursuit.
Say what you will about CTRLH, but at least he was effective at getting rid of ALTF
ReplyDeleteyes, i have been thanking my lucky stars that this thread is ALTF-free
ReplyDeleteSPERM
ReplyDeletelol
Wow… so… I’m really surprised there are people who dislike xkcd so much that they’ll post such negative feedback. I think it’s because they don’t get it.
ReplyDeletenegative? I think you will find I laughed at this joke, IT SAYS SO RIGHT THERE ON THE POST
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you a tale of ALTF,
ReplyDeleteAnd she was a Whig and a Saunt;
She liv'd a most sanctify'd life,
But whyles she was fash'd wi her cunt.
Poor woman! She gaed to the Priest,
And till him she made her complaint;
'There's naething that troubles my breast
Sae sair as the sins of my cunt'.
'Sin that I was herdin at hame,
Till now I'm three score and ayont,
I own it wi' sin and wi' shame
I've led a sad life wi' my cunt'.
He bade her to clear up her brow,
And no be discourag'd upon 't;
For holy gude women enow
Were mony times waur't wi' their cunt.
It's naught but Beelzebub's art,
But that's the mair sign of a saunt,
He kens that ye're pure at the heart,
Sae levels his darts at your cunt.
What signifies Morals and Works,
Our works are no wordy a runt!
It's Faith that is sound, orthodox,
That covers the fauts o' your cunt.
Were ye o' the Reprobate race
Created to sin and be brunt,
O then it would alter the case
If ye should gae wrang wi' your cunt.
But you that is Called and Free
Elekit and chosen a saunt,
Will't break the Eternal Decree
Whatever ye do wi' your cunt?
And now with a sanctify'd kiss
Let's kneel and renew covenant:
It's this - and it's this - and it's this
That settles the pride o' your cunt.
Devotion blew up to a flame;
No words can do justice upon't;
The honest auld woman gaed hame
Rejoicing and clawin her cunt.
Then high to her memory charge;
And may he who takes it affront,
Still ride in Love's channel at large,
And never make port in a cunt!
Listen, I don't want to sound like some super fanboy of xkcd or anything, but I think you are trying too hard at this point. You make fun of this particular strip on the basis of "it's just a stupid penis joke", but that's not the basis of the humor. It seems like you're just doing this for the sake of not skipping a comic and seeming like you cant think of anything for it.
ReplyDeleteyou think that typing the text 'hahahahaha penis' is trying too hard?
ReplyDelete@5:44 I'm often one to criticise Rob's tedious rambling and found this to be one of his best reviews in a while. The only way in which your post might not fail is if you were Rob's sockpuppet setting up for his perfect response at 5:51.
ReplyDelete... Is it not somewhat sad that you have set up a blog dedicated to convincing people that something sucks? You're like a film critic who only reviews films he knows he hates. Why don't you try and write something funny yourself? 'Cause this blog certainly isn't.
ReplyDeletethe best reviews are bad reviews.
