In summary, Franzbear is the most prolific thread killer in the forum. He has killed at least 12 threads and is likely responsible for 21 more. His ability to kill threads is not a direct outcome of the evidence (number of last posts). You have to at least factor in the total number of posts by each person (posts in GD) to get a more accurate representation of the killer instinct. Franz and Moonie have so many posts here, they are more likely to be the winning killers. You have to divide the number of kills by the total number of posts during the same period to get a corrected distribution.

You have to be a very dedicated thread killer for this thread. I have yet to go back and read the 100 or so posts I missed in two minutes of being disconnected! :-p

Ah you should, that hurts. I posted quite a bit of heinous material, just for your (well not really, but still) benefit.

Oooh, I love when someone doesn't quote the post they're responding to, and the reply winds up just enough out of order to acquire an entirely new meaning. :smile:

Actually, yes. That had my sides splitting with laughter when he kept mis-timing his posts and wound up hitting on you and cussing me out half the night! :smile:

Bart, do you have a membership in bad comics of the day? Or maybe someone signed you up for the lame comic of the month club?

MB, I think you are right.

Yeah, none of these are good.

I have a theory about humor--it's like music. You like what you get used to, and if someone plays something unexpected from a genre you've never heard before, you'll probably hate it and think it sounds bad. But then if you listen to it 20 times, say... you start to get it.
 
  • #897
That is quite true about music. And, you may be right, it may even hold true for comics.

I don't think so. No matter how many Bart links to, they're still bad.

Bart, one link to the site was enough. If anyone was interested, they could follow the "next" and "previous" links to see the other comics.

Moonbear, you yourself have stated you won't pursue a comic if you don't think the first few are funny.

This one is interesting.

So what makes you think I'm going to keep following all the links you're posting? It's not even a little amusing anymore. Sorry, but there is truly nothing funny in those comics. They are just whiney.
 
  • #903
That last one really captures the flavor of the comic.
 
  • #904
I agree, most of those comics are bad, imo. I meant that if one saw tons of them, s/he may begin to like them, not that you or I will.

How is that interesting? That's it, I'm not following any more of your links. There wasn't any punchline, no satire, it was totally flat and humorless.

But, maybe we can get the dinosaur to stomp on the men in hats, that I might laugh at. :devil:
 
  • #906
If you expect a punchline, you're not always going to get it, and that's not the point of these.

Satire, yes. Did you understand the idea behind that one?
 
  • #907
Yes, I understood...dinosaurs talking about living forever, art as a form of immortality. It still isn't funny. And that quote running over the top of the panels broken up in such a strange way is distracting without adding anything to the humor of the comic. The quote was mildly amusing, but there was no reason to split it across multiple panels and it held no relationship to the comic and just a quote, so not the original work of the artist anyway.

As I thought, moonbear, you didn't get it. The quote was the entire point of the comic. Read it again and figure it out... or else I'll have to explain it to you.
 
  • #910
If I have to think that hard about a lame comic, then I'm not interested.
