Comic 1243: Snare Me A Joke

1243. It's like Randy thought 'oh man what if there was a giant butterfly net to catch the ISS?' and didn't actually think it through at all. See, the answer is 'it would be caught in a net.' That's it. Nothing remotely amusing would happen. And you can tell he knows, deep down in his tiny black heart, that it's not funny, because he tried to make the scheme sound funny by having Black Hat Guy there! He failed, of course, as he fails at all things. F

  1. One day, someone really sad and depressed, who has been thinking about suicide for months, will read a particularly bad xkcd and will kill himself. Not because of the comic per se, but it will confirm what he thinks about life: dull and boring and unfunny. It was just what he needed to let go.

    Hey, it's possible, right?! And then, all you have done here on this site will be justified. You will be a hero, Rob. Everyone will praise you and love you. Just like all of us here.

    Except it won't happen. We do not love you. You are a failure. No one will miss you. Kill yourself.

    1. I am disappointed, you didn't do the killing-yourself thing. I didn't expect to find such worthy an opponent in you. In fact, gosh I hate to say that, but...you're the man, Rob!!

      Except not. I lied again. Blow your fucking head off.

    5. Are you the same guy that's been proclaiming his departure on every thread for the past few weeks? What with Eumomomomo being MIA, we need a substitute village idiot to keep things amusing around here, and I think you might have potential.

    6. How did you know?! Maybe you're the guy whose intellect has been crushing us on every thread recently? And don't count too much on the subhuman life form known as Eumesmopo not returning; for all we know he's simply having a mighty good time with Francis.

    7. Eurmessmoppedupo was definitely this blog's second best non-anonymous lolcow after Gamer_2neckbeard4.

  2. Reporting in to say that I just masturbated to Rob's avatar, then drew a circle of cum round his face on the screen and smeared it over his hair.

    Frankly it wasn't as satisfying as I thought it would be, and cum is a mare to clean from LCD screens. I will probably do it at least one more time in the next few days to re-live the humiliating sense of disappointment I now feel.

  3. congrats dude. you somehow managed to make a blog which is even less funny than xkcd.

    Have you considered just cutting to the chase and goatseing your readers? It would save everyone time and the embarrassment of watching your painful attempts at humourous oneupmanship.

    Not true. I have it on good authority that Randy's pretty amazing at fellatio.

    1. that's a rumor they pass around so people will try to get randy to blow them. it is one of the most cripplingly disappointing experiences in the world. so disappointing people simply must share it.

    1. No one likes you, Jon. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you, but we all just tolerate you with gritted teeth until you go away.

      You know who else tolerated me with gritted teeth? HITLER, and I got the better of that schmuck.

    3. Jon's cool. He's not a pretentious prick like the rest of us. And he doesn't use the same fork for lunch every day. Actually that one's not a good thing. Lighten up, man; it's not gonna hurt you.

      Delete
    4. You take that back. I am not, nor will I ever be, 'cool',

      Delete
    5. Everybody's cool eventually... WHEN THEY'RE DEAD!!!!

      I mean in terms of body temperature, see?

      Delete
    6. In xkcd Anon@9:36, Randall is playing on the dual meaning of `cool'. To a physicist, someting `cool' has a low temperature in a given context. To the common jock, `cool' is a manner of behaving which is likely to get you vulvae rather than merely drawing of vulvae.

      The human body temperature is maintained around 37 Celsius, because humans are endotherms. But when a human dies, his or her homeostatic processes terminate, and the body temperature reduces to room temperature: it is `cool' relative to the living body.

      Jon Levi is using the jock meaning of `cool'. Anon@9:36 is equivocating with the physicist meaning of `cool'. This is a word pun. Word puns are a classical common form of humor. Humor creates laughter. Laughter releases endorphins. Endorphins are studied by biology. Biology is a less pure branch of science than physics. I am a virgin.

    7. more like xkcdexplained-sucks.blogspot.co.uk

    8. In Anon@1:39, a reference is made to the hypothetical web site "xkcdexplained-sucks" by analogy with the present web site "xkcdsucks". This is because Anon@12:32 is parodying the autistic study notes written on web site "xkcdexplained", a blog dedicated to explanation of the intricacies of the comic strip "xkcd" authored by Randall "living proof that to get a girlfriend you only need to be popular rather than competent" Munroe.

      It is possible that Anon@1:39 inserted a hyphen ("-") in the URL in homage to "xkcd-sucks", a mostly defunct complementary site to xkcdsucks edited by "Gamer_2neckbeard4", a Gamer born in 2004 who sports a neckbeard. But this is not certain, and some argue that the author simply judged "xkcdexplainedsucks" to be too difficult to read. English prose, unlike Latin poetry, normally employs whitespace (" ") to separate words.

    2. Including some who marvel at his altruism in giving his genius to the world. It's amazing how many people fail to understand that it's part of his business model.

    3. Hey Randall, there's this thing I never understood about Time: why did they keep asking each other whether they were OK every 10 seconds?

      Delete
    4. Oh, and the way you made a point of the guy helping the girl up first was very gallant of you. Sowet4you and your gallant ways.

      Delete
    5. They keep asking each other because they care.

    6. Yes, I figured that was just you trying to capture how you think love works. Wasn't sure though.

    7. part of his business model.

      Wait.. he's an artist / philosopher.

      Why would he need a "business model" ?

  9. I demand a new review of the entirety of Time, updated daily at a rate of a word a day.

    Should only take three days to complete.

  12. on topic: this comic is meant to be funny if you actually read the whole story behind the black-hat guy. It's like a show, you need to see all the other episodes in order to know what is going on.

    1. On topic: there is no "story" behind black-hat guy. It's randull's way of beng "OMG EDGY AND RANDOM." Implying that there's anything like a story in XKCD just proves you're a cuddlefish.
