This one made me laugh out loud, hard, at every panel. Even if the arc ended here I would consider it a good arc.

[Arachno-capitalist]

I forgive Onstad for the gay porn arc. This is hilarious. Dudes back at my old school would watch porn like it was just a basic day and it went basically exactly like this, including the beers and witty commentary.

I'm considering sending a link to every homophobe I know.

I almost started the thread with the title "I'm straighter than John Wayne voting for Reagan on a hoss". But your choice was my second best.

So there, for all of us who for a moment questioned Ray's heterosexuality.

Funny thing is that it's easy to see homosexual undertones in macho movies like "Braveheart". Ray, on the other hand, just looks for the "Braveheart" in gay porn.

I would'a gone with "like watchin' the moonwalk" because I am sort of in the "a subject line should suggest the strip indirectly" camp but... y'know... a strip like this, the on-the-nose approach works from a certain point of view.*

I never expected such a useful dissection of what's ridiculous about NASCAR in relation to two straight dudes watching gay porn but... then again... they feel the way about gay porn that I feel about NASCAR, so The Buddha would approve at the full-circleness of the whole affair.

NASCAR looks crazy and wrong to me but, what the hell, the crowd seems to love the shit out of it.

*I am being ironically over-analytical about analyzing the analysis of talking cartoon cats.

[Nabubrush]

I was kind of hoping for "at least SOMEBODY'S havin' fun!"

[Arachno-capitalist]

I just realized Ray was referring to the dance Moonwalk and not the walk on the moon. Originally I pictured Ray watching the moon landing thinking it was strange and wrong, then delighting in Armstrong's enjoyment of the moon.

at least SOMEBODY'S havin' fun!

Michael Jackson?

I love how nonchalant Ray and Beef are in the last panel, both sittin' there bein' straight.

This reminds me of one of my male friends who is so secure in his straightness that he can forget that he's wearing a granny dress and fuzzy hat while watching Dreamgirls with two gay men and a lady.

[theinevitable]

man. The guys on my floor are big fans of watching porn.

Also, for a while we were big on setting people's homepage on Firefox to a website that was just a video loop... of a guy getting nailed in the butt. up close. his member was swinging in a circle, and that song that goes like "you spin me right round, baby, right round--like a record baby..." played loudly.
after the first few times, we'd just sit there laughing and watching it. people competed to see how many spins they could count before they started laughing, &c.

so yeah.
They also love watching "Pirates," the highest-budgeted porn ever made. It is so bad. And also... I mean... the sex is so bad. It isn't something I can enjoy... I just laugh.
I also feel awkward when someone on the film does something, and guys go "oh my god! I can't believe they're doing that!" and I'm thinking "really? that's pretty vanilla. that is a basic porn move."

"I'M THE GREATEST PIRATE HUNTER EVER! AGHHH! *ejaculates*"

It is a variation on meatspin, and the nailee is a transsexual.

The more you know.

[coldfrog]

I love the fact that Onstad is using gay porn to serve as the common comparison in personalities between the different characters.  Most literary types would use the reaction to something ordinary such as a funeral or an expensive hamburger, but nothing brings out the true character like a man and his buddy watching another man suddenly start playing the lady's role.

[theinevitable]

yeah, it is meatspin .com.
there are, on that site, links to other sites which are much worse. in terms of... just... things I didn't need to know could be done.

[V-Adore]

Beef analyzing the gay porn is the best thing ever. If this is the end of the arc, I'll be quite pleased.

Are we supposed to contrast this with Teodor's awkward reaction and draw conclusions from it, incidentally? Really obvious conclusions?

[Arachno-capitalist]

I sent the meatspin link to my roommate under the title "A-CAP Bans Alcohol".
He threw off his headphones, called me a dick, and stormed out of the room.
