Comic 939: Randy Remembers The Old Times
[Hated hell bird "Ravenzomg" wrote this review. -Ed.]
Hai hai everyone, this is Ravenzomg of Ravenzomg fame to review XKCD #939 for you all! Or maybe I'm just some imposter, who even knows anymore.
Title: Arrow. Tooltip: 'The Return of the Boomerang' would make a great movie title.
So let's cut to the chase. This is just an awful brick joke. The joke is that there is a thing here from another xkcd comic why is that here that belongs in the other comic how can it be here oh my god oh my god so random wat.
Look guys at this other comic I did! And how awesome things used to be. Do you remember that???
So anyways, it's basically a non-sequitur that doesn't go anywhere interesting. "And suddenly boomerang!" for no reason at all.
This is my edit, which I think is more entertaining. TELL ME I'M WRONG AND ACTUALLY MEAN IT.

Get out of my head, Randall!
ReplyDeleteThis totally happened to me last morning!
Get out of my head, Rob!!!
ReplyDeleteI totally thought this comic was awful too!!!
are you all retarded
ReplyDeletethere is no punchline here
the joke is you
I vote the edit is funnier
ReplyDeletehonestly what makes a brick joke entertaining is the sense of looking back and realizing that the comedian planned for the punchline well in advance
ReplyDeletethere is a sort of enjoyable release associated with being outwitted by the comedian as the punchline to the brick joke arrives mere moments after you completely forget about the setup
this shit is not even close to comparable
it was slapped together in fifteen minutes after one of randalls lengthy tvtropes sessions inspired him to review his archives for something to use as a brick joke
there is no feeling of awe at his foresight or any sense of being outwitted
there is no shocking revelation or epiphany
there is no slapping of the forehead or announcing to nobody in particular oh that magnificent bastard he had this planned all along
i feel nothing but pity for the autistic manchild known as randall munroe
i may never meet a level of success even as scant as that which randy enjoys as a result of his terrible webcomic but
but i can take sweet solace in the fact that i will never be known for something so fucking stupid as xkcd
Anyone for a UK gov petition to reinstate and mandate the death sentence only for pompous blowhards like Randall Munroe? I hear if there are more than 100,000 signatures then it is made law.
ReplyDeleteThis comic is a metaphor for cancer relapse.

ReplyDeleteThis metastasis does not end
ReplyDeleteYes, it spreads on and on my friend
Megan's hair started falling out and she did not know why
Now Randall won't let go of it which makes poor Megan cry...
How fucking dare anyone out there make fun of Randall after all he has been through!
ReplyDeleteHe has lost Megan, now he is going through this serious family illness. His fiancée has cancer.
All you people care about is making lactation and Megan jokes.
HE’S A HUMAN! What you don’t realize is that Randall is making you all these comics and all you do is write a bunch of crap about him.
LEAVE HIM ALONE! You are lucky he even keeps om making XKCD BASTARDS!
LEAVE RANDALL ALONE! Please!
Carl talked about professionalism and said if Randall was a professional he would pull it off no matter what.
Speaking of professionalism, when is it professional to publicly bash someone who is going through a hard time.
Leave Randall Alone Please!
Leave Randall Munroe alone! right now! I mean it!
Anyone that has a problem with him you deal with me, because he is not well right now.
LEAVE HIM ALONE!
When first I saw that this already had 56 comments, I thought to myself "oh fantastic, ALTF has squirted her goo all over another post" and resigned myself to fate. Little did I realize I would soon be reading the greatest comment section of all time.
ReplyDeletealso, @ cuddlefish 4:43 - welcome to the blog, Chris Crocker!
Do not jinx it, Ves...
ReplyDeleteoh well done Ves, I was confused, I was like
ReplyDelete"This guy is unintentionally mirroring what Chris Crocker said about Britney Spears! I wonder if he realises?"
But thanks to you Ves I can rest easy knowing that it was intentionally done.
Holy balls fucker this comic is boring and terrible. Its so bad I haven't been able to drop my morning poop yet.
ReplyDeleteAre you an inoperable brain tumor?
ReplyDeleteBecause get out of my head, Gamer!!
-> This cancer is a metaphor for comic relapse.
Also, the Fora is all like "OMG I LAFFED SO HARD AT THIS, SO MUCH MORE THAN I SHOULD HAVE LOLOLOLOL"
ReplyDeleteAre they actually sitting at their computer desk braying like mule with flecks of Cheetos and milk splashing against the monitor?
Ian: Yes. Yes. They. Are. That is why this blog exists.
ReplyDelete"Are they actually sitting at their computer desk braying like mule with flecks of Cheetos and milk splashing against the monitor?"
ReplyDeleteThat's not milk.
Those aren't Cheetos, either.
Also this thread makes me love all of you without exception. Especially Ravenzomg. No, just Ravenzomg actually. Fuck all you miserable cretins.
ReplyDeleteTruth is, you do not even love yourself, Ravenzomg.
ReplyDeletecptnoremac = Ravenzomg = samefag
ReplyDeleteprove me wrong
I just love Jews. Their hooked, oily noses and sebaceous hooked fingers make them so lovable. Don't you agree?
ReplyDeleteWhy would they have slaughtered millions of jews if it didn't have benefits?
ReplyDelete@cptnoremac Actually, I think this blog exists because they're really not but want people to believe they are because they think it makes them part of some sort of elite group. Somebody needs to call bullshit on that.
ReplyDelete@ cuddlefish 5:42 - that's what I'm here for, sweetie <3
ReplyDeleteWha-? All I said was that's not milk.
ReplyDeleteI just love juice. The flavour, sweet smell, and flavourful smelling aroma just makes it so lovable. Don't you agree?
ReplyDeleteJuice IS the tits. Man, this thread is so productive--I'm glad we're getting these key points on the board.
ReplyDeleteAnon717: Yeah, that's true =\
Are you a cuddlefish, Gamer?
ReplyDeleteCos you just got LURED.
Are you cancer, Gamer?
ReplyDeleteCos you just got CURED.
erebus why are you making fun of a man when his WIFE HAS CANCER
ReplyDeletealso, memo to trolls: you'd be a lot more plausible if you stopped saying 'wife' and said 'fiancee' instead, since randy isn't married
I once heard that sometimes when a person says something that is silly, they actually expect the other people to detect the absurdity as intentional. I myself don't see where the humour is if people aren't supposed to be annoyed, but I guess there really are some Brady Bunch type fuckers left in the world.
ReplyDeleteAre you a game balance patch, Gamer?
ReplyDeleteCos you just got NERFED.
@12:59
ReplyDeleteU mad, bro?
Cos your vision just got BLURRED.
@12:59
ReplyDeletego away
no one likes you
sarcasm is cool
I just want to say how super cool it is that I'm the subject of half the comments in the thread.
ReplyDeleteAlthough...all this attention...
I think I just got UNNERVED.
Wow, way to ruin the best fucking joke in this entire thread, dipshit.
ReplyDeleteNobody was really thinking about you, Gamer. We just took your name and ran with it.
ReplyDeleteI liked this comic for the 5 seconds it took to read. It's kind of funny in the "meta" sense: you go into the site thinking that everything will go wrong, that you cannot expect any shred of quality in the piece of crap he's laid out for this Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteYou look at the comic. You see a dude shooting an arrow. Where is it going? What is going to happen? ...OH SHI-
It's that boomerang from comic 445! No, Randall, you couldn't have! A reused shitty joke! You couldn't have resorted to this!
But then it strikes you...
Contemplating the comic's terribleness, you realize that it went exactly as you expected. The comic is a metaphor. The guy with the bow experiences a confusing disappointment, just like you, every time you read XKCD. It all makes perfect sense now. You cannot help but silently move your lips to form the phrase "get out of my head, Randall!" while staring at the screen in awe. THIS is a webcomic. This is ART.

ReplyDelete3:34's comment would have made a good review for the comic.
ReplyDelete@6:38
ReplyDeleteAre you a retard, TWSS?
Cos that's the dumbest fucking idea I've heard in this entire comment thread.
Ow, my ego.
ReplyDelete940: Randy has cancer-sex?
ReplyDeleteGet out of my head, Randall!!
ReplyDeleteI totally like sex too!
WHAT THE GOD DAMN FUCK RANDALL SERIOUSLY
ReplyDeleteSex, eh? What a novel activity. I wonder when Randall will progress beyond puberty.
ReplyDeleteInternet, eh? What a novel activity. I wonder when you guys will progress beyond xkcd.
ReplyDeleteHumor, eh? What a novel activity. I wonder when you guys will progress beyond quirkiness.
ReplyDeleteRecursion, eh? What a novel activity. I wonder when you guys will progress beyond recursion.
ReplyDeleteMegan's wig in 940 is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteAlso in the third panel Megan appears to be humping Randall's chest... UNLESS... they have swapped the wig and Randall is enjoying a cancerous titjob. /unsee
Oh for goodness' sake. When I went to bed it was Five-Minute Comics Pt. 4, why couldn't it have /stayed/ like that?
ReplyDeleteXkcdsucks: come for the criticism, stay for the quirkiness.
ReplyDeleteCaptcha: readdy... set... post!
HEY GUYS DID YOU KNOW I FREQUENTLY HAVE SEX WITH MY GIRLFRIEND (WHO HAS CANCER)
ReplyDeleteALSO DID YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE SEX IN UNUSUAL PLACES
ReplyDelete@Anon 2:34 No that looks right, Randy's penis is right below the vagina. Her knee is beside his chest if that's what you mean.
ReplyDeleteno cunnilingus? randy you have failed me
ReplyDelete@ian they are goddamned stick figures and their pelvises never even fucking touch
ReplyDeletenothing about this comic looks right you fucking assclown
Blargh. =[ I thought we all agreed his 5-minute comics #4 was a noted improvement from regular comics. And then this. wat. Randy. No no no no no, this is not how that works.
ReplyDeleteAt least now he has a "buffer" that is at least 1 comic long.
Captcha: manclogi. >.<
Clearly Randall is hanging out on #xkcd-sucks, saw that the comic met with our 'approval', and thought "Shit take it down take it down"
ReplyDeletecould i have a link to it?
ReplyDeleteApparently my cache doesn't hold images that long. So I'll give you the hard link so you can tell what you aren't seeing.
ReplyDeleteThis was one of the worst reviews yet.
ReplyDeleteI no rite. The author of this should feel ashamed, and slightly aroused.
ReplyDeleteCaptcha: herside. That is where arousal comes from obviously.
Bingo is up at hyphen. This week it features a message written in blood, if that makes you interested.
ReplyDeleteWTF Randall??? I don't want to hear about your sex life, and I've never heard of Fitocracy. In fact, the only reason I became aware of the existence of fitness tracking websites is because of this:
ReplyDeletehttp://techcrunch.com/2011/07/03/sexual-activity-tracked-by-fitbit-shows-up-in-google-search-results/
Maybe it's a good thing that Fitocracy won't let you enter sex as an aerobic activity.
And just what are they doing in that swing? Why is Megan's crotch on Randall's chest?
ReplyDeleteIf you noobs don't know how to pleasure a woman using only your chest, then you've probably never had sex in your life.
ReplyDelete(and never will)
NUH-UH I HAVE HAD LOTS OF SEX
ReplyDeleteLOTS OF SEX WITH LOTS OF GIRLS
So why haven't you written a comic about it, ROB?
ReplyDeleteSO wait, his girlfriend has cancer or whatever 2 comics ago, and now he's making jokes about having sex with said girlfriend who has cancer or something?
ReplyDeleteyou can still have sex with girls who have cancer; it's not like cancer is an std or anything
ReplyDelete10:36 nuh-uh Randall caught it from his own cancerous comic and then touched Megan's hair.
ReplyDelete6:13, consider angle of penis, angle of thrust and head-groin:groin-knee:knee-foot ratio. There is no way vaginal sex is going on in panel 3.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the gender role swap theory is reinforced by panel 2 (and Randall's Google+ rant about public gender), where the one with the wig is bending over in a manner more consistent with anal. Megan is either wearing a strap-on or has an engorged clitoris as a side effect of the chemo.
Panel 1, where the wigger is the one doing the pinning, seals the deal. I have at least enough evidence to publish my conclusion in a psychology journal.
QEF.

ReplyDeletecan some of u guys post nice things on this guys blog he is feeling a bit sad
TYVM
JESUS CHRIST I'M GOING TO BE SICK
ReplyDeleteFucking C&H is so horrible, they misspelled "any" today. And of course it isn't funny.
ReplyDeleteThough a few days shy and a lexeme or two short:
ReplyDeleteAre you a radially symmetrical peristaltic cloacan contraction, Gamer?
'cause you just got turd
No, that makes no sense. It should be "have you recently received a radially" etc.
ReplyDeleteIt makes no sense to you.
ReplyDeleteThis, my friend, was by contemplation not happenstance-like serendipity.
Surprised no one has mentioned this:
ReplyDeleteHe shoots the arrow and gets a boomerang back. Look! He's three question marks worth of confused. That is SO confused!
i no, rite??
ReplyDeletecaptcha: shortho. That's how i like 'em.
Dearest Anonymous @ 8:42 AM,
ReplyDeleteYou're surprised?
There is a VERY good reason no one has mentioned it until now.
@ALTF: The anus is not peristaltic and the rectum is not cloacan. Review your first year anatomy books. Also be funnier.
ReplyDeleteSigh, this thread was actually good for a while.
Most People Have Never Heard of CTRLF
ReplyDeleteIf only the same thing could be said of...
"....Also be funnier?...."
ReplyDeleteYou first!
@9:19 Perfect execution.
ReplyDeleteThe very fact that Anonymous @ 9:19 AM executed with perfection has intimidated all who might hazard to further comment here. It takes a very confident cunt to risk pixelating in the pale shadow of such coruscating invective.
ReplyDeleteI am that cunt!
People stopped commenting because you showed up and killed the funny again.
ReplyDeleteActually if only the same thing could be said of CTRLF. Because that person is baaad.
ReplyDeleteThat's not true!
ReplyDeleteTake it back!
By the way, when I posted my xkcd does CADbortion strip on the fora, one person actually liked it. There were no other reactions.
ReplyDeleteGuess you didn't put enough emphasis on her being in hospital with CANCER.
ReplyDeleteit's cancer. i can tell.
ReplyDelete♋♋♋♋♋♋♋
ReplyDeleteCancer? Fuck cancer. I called the doctor once, I said, "Doc, I've got cancer. What should I do?" You know what he said?
ReplyDelete"Fuck cancer," he said. "Put that on a shirt and call me in the morning.
So that's what I did. I mean, fuck cancer.
Is it wrong that I think panel 2 of Friday's comic is more nauseating than even the infamous "nudity in TGI Friday's" installment?
ReplyDeleteAre you anonymous?
ReplyDeleteMe too.
Bingo is getting a big improvement, soon. So stay tuned at hyphen for more box-ticking action.
ReplyDeleteDon't tell us until you've actually posted it, asshole.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this, a serial drama - you can't use the phrase 'stay tuned' when it's a just freaking blog!
Anon 11:40 + Jon Levi = Samefag
ReplyDeleteSadly, yes.
ReplyDeleteBill Watterson + Randall Munroe = Samefag
