February 10, 2005 - The potty runs out of the body
« on: February 10, 2005, 11:59:02 am »
I am so so about this one, I do like the idea of anal retentive fast food related IRC rooms, but this didn't quite work for me. Another one for the 'funny in principle' pile, I'll have to try it again tomorrow.
On a side note, I would have liked to have called the thread 'This could have been much better than you made it.' But word length restrictions are a harsh mistress.

Now,  now. I disagree.  Not only did I find the comic quite funny (though not hilarious, mind you), I think it once again underscores the lameness of Little Nephew, and it's always funny to be reminded.  Every day.

My first thought was, "a Burger King chat? How lame is that? There's not really that much to talk about." Then I realized my very next action would be to open a forum for a webcomic and that pretty much shut me right up.

This is a spot on parody of how the internet is.  I remember checking out a chick's webcam chat and the moderator is warning people "Stay on topic and talk about her ass."  

Also, while researching a background for one of my old strips, I found a website for people who are totally obsessed with the now defunct Burger Chef chain.

LN, who has always been a bit of a dork, is even less cool in my eyes now.  I was at least hoping for some swears and sexual invites.

Vlad's back, so what's up with Beef and Molly?

That's true, he was in the big party panel with the Tenmen.  But we haven't seen Beef or Molly in like 3 weeks.

Shijt.  I need to start reading those.  I started to last night, but only got to Nice Pete's (I started from the bottom, for some reason).  OK, disregard what I said, and I'll go get caught up on my Achewood reading assignments (fuck Ecology!).

I am on the fence. (Dull surprise! I'm sure someone will be along to point out this fundamental nature of my character, and possibly to misspell my username, shortly.) It's kind of funny as it stands, but the joke falls a little limp -- someone involved needed to be way over-the-top lamer, I think.

I'm not sure whether I prefer this strip to the strip I originally envisioned this being as I read the first few panels -- "LN attempts to be a Weed Spy again, but Vlad just has no the hell idea what he's talking about, and wackiness ensues."

i think by there not being any over the top lameness, it made a point to me:

little nephew is lame, in the lameness that is associated with adolesnece and the desire to rebel.

veiw point one:
i will go and disrupt a chat room!  i will do the disrupting by asking them if they like pizza!  i will do this, not because i like pizza, but because i want to cause other people to feel the pain and languidness of spirit that i feel!  such a melange of apathy and loneliness i feel!

view point two:
why do these retards keep coming here and bugging us.  we just want to talk abotu burger king.


and thus, the disconnect between the obnoxious and the target is shown:

LN just wants to be listened to, and would be if he would only talk about Burger King.

if only,
but alas.

No!  We're not like that!  We're not!  It's those other internet people he's making fun of!  Right?!

Please stay on the topic of the achewood comic strip.

Maybe that's why we can't say *****s or #####.

Is Onstad trying to get a job writing for McSweeny's?

Is this his audition piece?

"Yes, Mr. Onstad, we here at McSweeny's like to follow the 'slightly amusing concept; weak delivery' formula for humour.  Can you be a little more mediocre?  You can?  Well, we'd like to see an example.  How about this Thursday?"
