In a way, he's (potentially) making fun of his own comic. Lightheartedly, of course. No serious digs.<br /><br />That said, the _real_ problem comes with the punchline. He doesn't have one. The "backing away" thing is immature, awkward humor, and it's vague. It also fails to play off our expectations, being a simple reassertion of what we've already (sort of) observed in frames 3 and 4.<br /><br />In conclusion, I've attached a link to a refactoring of this joke, with my edits and humor philosophy applied. I hope you do enjoy.<br /><br />http://686.imageshack.us/img686/2724/hatsimproved.pngUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739078645826340635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-66999172248334776192009-12-20T20:22:57.590-08:002009-12-20T20:22:57.590-08:00Wait, I did that!

Why do you keep repeating that it doesn't make sense? You are intentionally ignoring obvious steps in the argument. Yes, normally a mean person wearing a shirt is not automatically outdone by a person wearing two shirts, but when their personalities are literally identified and distinguished by their shirts, it becomes a clear logical step. Yet, you continually argue that it's nonsense. If you have a problem with it being stupid, that's one thing, and you're entitled to your opinion. It's another thing entirely if you're trying to argue that it doesn't make logical sense. Find your logical ground and hold it, don't keep changing your argument when people point out its obvious flaws.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-39573770882485526402009-11-27T13:36:06.294-08:002009-11-27T13:36:06.294-08:00but that is so damn stupid! right? can we agree on...but that is so damn stupid! right? can we agree on that?Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01074589998141327538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-53776642266257655422009-11-26T23:44:04.696-08:002009-11-26T23:44:04.696-08:00yes but if your comic determined peoples personali...yes but if your comic determined peoples personality by their shirt it would make sense, mr hat is mr hat because of his hat so someone with two hats would be as evil as two mr hats. though i think it would have plans if mr hat put is arm around double hat and walked saying something like "we have much to discuss"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-80608992848281568182009-11-12T20:18:57.636-08:002009-11-12T20:18:57.636-08:00but that DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

Lets take a look at it again. Hat guy walks in. Finds another guy with 2 hats. Then, initial hat guy walks away. While one would think that guy with 2 hats is twice as sadistic as him, I personally thought that someone was collecting hats, not only marking oneself as a double sadist but a hat "collector".<br />Thats what came to mind...<br />That and thinking that Carl was someone that like me has too much time on their hands to comment on a comic (or a hate-blog for the aforementioned comic), to hate something without much reason. Theres no real reason to hate xkcd.<br /><br />Also I would like to accept (in a preemptive move) all your future blame on me being a commenter hater, since I dont care about it, even if that means retreating into a predictable( and completely paranoid) defense that would make no sense if no one answered to this.<br />Thus. I have auto-owned myself with my previous statements with the reason that it would spare you the trouble of not needing to answer me. However, because this is the internet it is inevitable someone someday will inevitably answer, most likely with a "wtf" or "random paranoid post is random".<br />There.
