"[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seem to be coming regularly, but many of the structural elements - like all the stuff in this lefthand pane - are a bit outdated.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.
Rob would you meet up for a blowjob? How far are you willing to travel? You won't even have to say/type anything.
ReplyDeleteFucking hell Rob, do I really have to scroll past a post every time I want to read the comments? Hurry up and make a new post, you lazy piece of shit.
ReplyDeleteI really just hate you Rob

DeleteI've come to the conclusion that Rob is an asshole. XKCD still sucks, but Rob is an asshole. A morbidly obese asshole.
ReplyDeleteThis is apparently your first day here.
DeleteYes, if he'd been here longer he'd realize that Rob isn't an asshole, but in fact a gaping maw that consumes everything in its path.
DeleteI've come to the conclusion that Anon@8:32 is an asshole. XKCD still sucks, but Anon@8:32 is an asshole. A morbidly obese asshole.

ReplyDeleteHe can't win don't jizz yourself
DeleteI think 10:02 is a dumbass. Thumbs up if you agree.
DeleteHe's got a chance
DeleteHe may not be dead yet, but he's on the fucking cart...
DeleteI'm already so sick of seeing that Mitt Romney twat on the news. Don't you dare vote for him, America.
ReplyDeleteit is Bonfire Night here. I fucking love bonfire night, even though it's essentially the same as the so-called 'war on terror'
ReplyDeleteI expected you to hate bonfire night. I'm disappointed, weaselsoup.
DeleteIt is exactly the same as the War on Terror, though.
why did you expect that? I love fireworks and burning things.
DeleteI also love Hallowe'en, except the imported trick or treat stuff, which is a bit shit.
I would expect you to love burning things, but not to enjoy fireworks. The bangs are so brutish yet well controlled. I see you as more of a repressed arsonist.
DeleteConcur on the limits of Hallowe'en.
Nice review, Rob.

1130: Randall thought it would be funny to make a joke about someone who is obsessed with the election polls, but for the wrong reason. He was wrong. It's possible he knows someone who is like this, but presumably this person doesn't read XKCD so he's not afraid of insulting him (presumably none of Randall's friends read XKCD, or they would tell him how shitty it is if they were true friends). Also, the alt text makes a reference that I, as a non-American, didn't get.
ReplyDelete1131: In case somebody hadn't noticed yet, Randall thought it necessary to remind people that there were elections in the US. He was wrong. The alt-text makes the same joke as the main comic, so it's both redundant and unnecessary.
no, 1131 is randall sucking nate silver's dick because he's gay. not even a semblance of a joke here
Delete1132: Randall has discovered that even very unlikely events can in fact occur. He then thought throwing in some statistics terminology would make his fans think he was smart. He was... probably right (read: his fans are stupid).
ReplyDeleteRomney 2013
ReplyDelete1132 is the most esoteric obscure monty hall/lets make a deal joke i've ever seen. I can't imagine anyone who actually gets it will think it is funny and everyone else will just think "wtf?" - this may be XKCD at its very worst. Wikipedian obscure reference =/= comedy
ReplyDeleteFancy revising your "this may be XKCD at its very worst" statement now that 1133 has been published?
Delete...is Randall trying to say that a frequentist statistician would basic critical thinking skills? Because if there's something else to this I'm missing it.
ReplyDeleteer, lack basic critical thinking skills. Lack. Clearly I'm lacking some typing skills.
DeleteNah, *I'm* some typing skills.

ReplyDeleteSo Ryan North's wife is dealing with cancer too, and he too made a joke about tattoo targets being pretty cool. Who did it better? Time to vote.

[insert xkcd url here]
I saw someone say that two "webcomic artists" had wives with cancer and my first thought was "lol you mean one, right?"
DeleteOh, snap. That's harsh, dawg.
DeleteAnon 6:15: You mean zero, right?
DeleteTalk about being late to the party. 8 days is an eternity in xkcdsucks time -- especially in recent times. That's because we measure time in terms of what Rob can eat. As his body expands due to the massive alimentary influx, the amount of food he has to ingurgitate in order to reach repletion gets larger, which in turn changes our perception of time.
DeleteDo you have idea any idea how long those particular 8 days felt?
how is escape code formed
