Yeah, actually, those are my points. If you&...@Anon<br />Yeah, actually, those are my points. If you've decided that the fans of something are stupid, you can't really complain when that thing tries to educate them. It's like complaining when Barney sings the alphabet, instead of talking about advances in modern medicine. Basically, you can EITHER complain that xkcd fanbois are all retarted OR you can complain that xkcd is teaching obvious lessons.<br /><br />As for the second one...let me do an allegory. Ahem-<br />So hey, I've decided that garfield is getting worse now. It used to be golden, but now it sucks. Let's look at a recent example. this strip works off Garfield being both fat and lazy. That's a shitty technique, shame on you Garfield writers.<br />See the problem with that is that Garfield jokes have ALWAYS been about the eponymous cat being lazy and fat. So all I'm doing is saying "Here's something about the strip I've never liked". What Carl SHOULD be doing is saying "Here's why the strip is shittier than it used to be".<br />And before you misinterpret my point, the chart is not the joke, it is the vessel for the joke. So you can no more complain that charts get old than that Mr. Black Hat's cruelty gets old, or that T-Rex's silliness get's old.Dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-48093420213708618412009-06-07T17:18:36.104-07:002009-06-07T17:18:36.104-07:00this is all so very interestingthis is all so very interestingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-54193453289167439722009-06-07T17:14:34.378-07:002009-06-07T17:14:34.378-07:00No, you weren't.

Let me break it down for you:<br /><br />The comic sucks shit for the same reason most xkcd's suck shit - Randall has terrible comedic timing (read: panel order, placement, structure, and content), subpar artistic skills (or, at least, artistic skills he's too lazy/arrogant to employ), absolutely no skill for writing believable conversational dialogue (which makes all his jokes feel contrived and stale when they aren't horrendously telegraphed), and a fundamental discontent from the true pulse of the Internet community.<br /><br />That paragraph sums everything that is wrong with this - and every other - xkcd.

It's not that Carl hates all xkcds, whereas you claim to hate all romantic comedies. So of course you would be repetitive if your reason for hating a romantic comedy is because it is a romantic comedy. Carl is hating xkcd not for being xkcd, but for being sucky as of late, and they are all sucking in the same way (in that they are all references LOL and SEX).Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11192581573588205095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-41214421439062177882009-06-07T14:10:37.683-07:002009-06-07T14:10:37.683-07:00This is just pathetic. xkcd fanboys who can't ...This is just pathetic. xkcd fanboys who can't even be funny and unrepetitive.<br /><br />Go back to watching your Firefly and watchmen shit.<br /><br />Last time: If you're going to troll, at least use the link to his profile.

Nerds/geeks/whatever can be pretty damn stupid, especially the type who beat their chest about being a nerd/geek/whatever.<br /><br />@Adam<br />yeah, I get the challenge of making a comic with the same art every day. But if Ryan North fails to make it actually interestingly varied in CONTENT and conversational STRUCTURE then he's not making anything of value. Handicapping a racer and having him win the race says something. Handicapping a racer and having him lose a race does not.<br /><br />@Rehoboam<br />Well I think it's pretty damn important that the comic isn't about friends with benefits since Carl's entire fucking post IS.<br /><br />I sort of understand what you're saying about cargo cult comedy, but you're saying it in a really stupid way. It's irrelevent, though. My point was that the graphs are a hallmark of xkcd, just like Mr. Black Hat, which you guys seem to fap over. If you don't like the defining features of the webcomic, what is the point of trying to critique it? I mean, I don't like romantic comedy movies. If I were asked about one I would say "it sucks, its a romantic comedy", but I wouldn't start a goddamned website about them. Every single post would be the same and HEY - that sounds a lot like what I was saying about Carl getting repetitive.<br /><br />Ehhh...the rest of your post is pretty much just a bunch of words with very little substance (and before you reflect that one, let me remind you that I am rubber and you are glue). So congratulations on making a post where you whine and drone on and on about people who whine and drone on and on. Who's the troll, again?Dannoreply@blogger.com
