Comics 1145-1149: The Quality Is Falling

1145. Meh. C-

1146. Ha ha Randy doesn't know how to interact with other humans! He also doesn't know how to tell a joke. D+

1147. What if Pokemon evolution was just like real evolution? F, that's what.

1148. What if Winston Churchill just listed a bunch of bodily fluids instead of giving a speech? F, that's what.

1149. Here's another one for you, Randy: what if the eagles just flew everyone to Mt. Doom in Lord of the Rings? WHAT A WACKY INSIGHT. F

  2. The First Part of the First Act having provided the Lamentable Review, we witness there the Second Part of the First Act, in which Anonymous précises the Lamentable Review.

    This brief Interval precedes the First Part of the Second Act, in which the Fat Lady swings down from the Proscenium Arch. The Meatus of the performance then follows, in which the Audience throws Rotten Fruit at the Fat Lady, providing sustenance for her Song until the Dying of the Light.

    Last scene of all,
    That ends this strange eventful history,
    Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
    Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

  4. How could anyone rate 1145 higher than anything ever? Rob, you went full retard. 1146 is also painfully unoriginal and lame.

  5. Been a while since I've done one of these:
    From 1147:

    "But evilootion is a commie plot, MRSA doesn't exist, H1N1 is a conspiracy, Spanish Flu was propaganda, they took uur jobs!"

    "The game says that your Pokémon is evolving. As others have noted, that's not evolution, that's metamorphosis. This is why Pokémon is not taught in college."

    "I've had [fluoxacilin] before too. The doctor prescribed it for my diabetes. I wish I was joking."

    From 1148:

    "Would anyone like to offer an explanation as to this one."

    "This comic forges an uncomfortable cross-over between Winston Churchill and General Ripper from Dr Strangelove..."

    "I, for one, intend to end all of my long lists with "... and gin" for the foreseeable future."

    "Neither Google nor Internet forums are replacements for, you know, not being a total dumbass."

    "The point of the comic was, and is, and applies here as the fundamental idea that being RIGHT over someone is not more fun or more cool than CONNECTING with someone."

    From 1149:
    "How delightful, to imagine the One Ring spurring on the entire Industrial Revolution due to being properly disposed of."

    "At the end, Glenda tells Dorothy that "why you had the power to go home all along". The alternate ending is Dorothy hauls off and punches Glenda in the nose. "You bitch! I could have gone home at any time? I didn't need to get carried around by flying monkeys?" "

    "Is it still okay to discuss Oz lore in this thread? Maybe we should ask Randall to create a LOTR comic so we can discuss Dorothy and Toto?"

    "I want to "LIKE" so many of these posts. "

    5. No, and here's the link to prove it.

      Also, while I was browsing 1144, I found this gem:

      "Wait WHAT? How can a human, with a working brain, consider HTML to be too hard?? I’m sorry, if some Ethiopian kids, who never ever saw a computer in their life, and can neither read nor write, can in a matter of 1-2 weeks, not only unpack some Android tablets, but go online, watch YouTube videos, chat, play games and install lots of apps, but also mod the damn operating system… then you can learn HTML. A small, mentally disabled child could learn HTML. In a day."

      If you're feeling masochistic, read the full post here.

      Also, this:

      "I have links saved for all of XKCD's cancer comics and I go back to them periodically and smile and cry."

  17. 1148 is basically an excuse for Munroe to use the word semen.

    1150 though WOW just LOOK at the biting topical satire! the allegory is so perfect! i had never realised it but he is right! using a social network IS exactly the same as entrusting your possessions to a friend. there's no difference at all. how insightful and clever munroe is for seeing things no one else does. good job huge facebook owned businesses have him to stand up for them and tell the users just how credulous and greedy they are. how dare they expect something for nothing. of course if you put stuff on the internet then fucking facebook has the right to sell it. how else will they pay for all that server space you're so selfishly using. and more fool you if you use another image hosting service instead cos they're all exactly the same. there aren't any like flickr that let you explicitly set the copyright on your pictures are there.

    munroe is such a fucking bellend. he probably thinks this lightning fast response to last week's news as opposed to 2008's news makes this shit acceptable. he probably also hoped that his legions of moronic adorers would be wanting a mayan calendar comic and is chuckling with glee at being so unpredictable. I HATE HIM

    1. Wow, that 1150 analogy was so strained I didn't even pick up on it. The older I get, the less I think like a "nerd". (I'd have got it if I had noticed the "Instagram" title, but my brain filters out the titles entirely now.)

      I don't even understand what he's trying to say. Chad is knowingly doing a favour ("he lets me in to see it whenever I want") to standing-guy and then suddenly declares his intention to commit theft by conversion. Seated-guy responds that because Chad isn't charging, he is somehow entitled to do this. Since stupid analogies are de rigueur, this is like inviting a woman for dinner and acting surprised when you declare at the end of the meal that you're going to rape her in lieu of payment.

      The only interesting thing is that the smartarse who deflates the guy considered reasonable to neurotypicals isn't a woman. Either Randall is bi-curious or he is revealing his true me-so-gynistic nature.

    11. Nope, it isn't. I think the analogy in 1150 is dumb because someone who lets you store your things on their garage is doing you a favor and it's not profiting from it, whereas Instagram is clogging it's asshole up with money from the profit it turn from the traffic generated by it's users, thus the users are the ones doing Instagram a favor. Still, I hate both Instagram and it's users and am happy to see they fucking each other over.

  25. I think 1151 is the point where Randall finally hits absolute rock bottom. I always found XKCD to be mildly amusing even in its most recent iterations. These, although loaded with all the horrible figments of Randall's psyche, usually put on display the same naivety and desire to please without really knowing how. In particular, I always felt that whenever Randall made a desperate attempt at humor, the joke or punchline was something he --in his deranged mind-- had actually found funny at some point, cackling at himself while spraying his hands with too much hand sanitizer for example.

    Today is different, though. The new comic celebrates christmas with a pot-pourri of appalling tropes and failed jokes. This is not a first, obviously, but today's Randy-ism density is quite special -- now count: Megan, Megan out-pranking Randall, the joke is only in the last panel, oh and by the way, none of the other panels give it any additional context, dumb onomatopoeia (x2), "oh, you!", shamefully long alt-text, "look-at-me-I-know-some-science" alt-text, Randall talking when browsing the internet and finally, copy-paste laziness in the first three panels. Lazy title, too. And that's the huge problem, I think. It's incredibly lazy, even for a XKCD strip. It's formulaic, easy and unfunny. Do you think that Randall smiled when he finally found what he would draw in 1151? Do you think he cackled while washing his hands this time?
    I don't think he did, and that's the point where I don't even see the naivety anymore.

      Your applications of the apostrophe and "and all" are excusable, but your improper declension of the pronoun preceding the gerund is unforgivable.

      Also I don't mean to set feminism back half a century or anything but I have retired to the drawing room while my lady and my mother have teamed up to prepare Chrimbo din-dins.

    4. That's quite edgy, Eumesmopo. I mean, poo-poohing their contributions is commonplace, so to call them "worthless" might have some objectively sound interpretation in the scheme of things - but "bitches"? You surely need a licence to be that edgy.

  30. Hmmmm...you have some insight, but making a blog about how "xkcd sucks" is like if Roger Ebert had a show called "Steven Spielberg sucks," or if there was a book review called "Chuck Palahniuk sucks" or a music blog called "Coldplay sucks"

    There's useful criticism, and there's whiny, snide pot-shot criticism. It has nothing to do with how accurate or honest the criticism is.

    You could find a niche for web-comic/paper comic criticism, but devoting a blog to berating Randall's creations is really pathetic.

    3. Hard to say.

      On one hand: at least one of them was female, and she wasn't an anon. Her identity wasn't explicitly disclosed but I seemed to "know" her, and I definitely haven't made her up. Her personality seemed to be somewhat consistent with how I view you (from the little I've seen from you). The only females I've seen post here on a more or less regular basis and that are somewhat "important" are you and ALTF, and it definitely wasn't her.

      On the other hand: this dream seems to have been at least partly inspired by Jon Levi's story, and you're not in it (not that I remember). So even though I don't know her, it could have been Aloria. Another suspect is Ann Apolis. Also, she very well could be a mix of several people, little bits of personas.

      Conclusion: it might not be unreasonable to entertain the idea that at least bits of you have slept with Rob.

      No one with literacy skills puts an hyphen between the words 'no' and 'one'.

    6. > No one with literacy skills puts an hyphen between the words 'no' and 'one'

      But one with literary skills will be familiar with appearances of the hyphenated form since mid-C19.

      No thinker would precede a non-silent "h" with "an". No etymological adept would even consider doing so for a non-French import.
