Web Comics Parodies!
« on: July 07, 2008, 03:40:50 pm »
Fans of Interweb comic strips should tune into Whatisdeepfried.com this week, since I am taking a break from my own comic to lampoon some of the Net's most popular cartoons!

There will be three send-ups this week. Monday's victim: The Diesel Sweeties!

Theres a guy on my team who enjoys this type of activity. In a way, he has integrating this filter to his mating ritual. So like when we're trying to get chicks back to our room, he is trying to figure out which ones will let him shit on them. It helps that he is an Aryan God with blonde hair and enormous muscles.

So, look, I've never been able to like Diesel Sweeties to start with, but I did have to check back to make sure it hadn't taking some significant, overtly anti-women turn that I didn't know about.  Apparently it's still a boring comic about the back and forth of relationships.  So, I don't know man, maybe don't show this sort of thing in public.  It's disturbing, but not "calculated, artistic" disturbing, more "the guy who made this has issues girls who might date him should worry about" disturbing.  Maybe it would mean something more to someone who reads your strip or DS, but for me this was "talking set of tits meets extremely violent end due to... aging?" and that sort of thing doesn't fly with me.  Violence against women is so far away from funny for me.

Your parody of the artstyle is inaccurate, your parody of the writing style is inaccurate, and it's not particularly funny either. D-

See... insofar as it pointed out how ridiculous Diesel Sweeties usually is by taking it to its darkest and most extreme, I sorta dug it.

But my sense of humour has been cripplingly dark lately so I could see where other peoples' mileages may vary.

I didn't find it that funny but I'm not sure I agree with your assessment Sideshow. To me the joke isn't that she is getting hurt for 'love' it's more saying 'take the premise of diesel sweeties to it's extreme by incorporating weird (but real world) fetishes' and so as far as that goes I think it's a fair enough parody but like I say it didn't really grab me.

Also: A-Cap. Too much sharing.

Yeah, that's how I read it too.

The dark logical extreme of a comic about the sexual relationship between a cynical lady and a ***** that is really supposed to want to kill all humans is... for the ***** to manifest its *****ness and sexuality wherever the most terrible intersection of those attributes lay.

Which, yeah, the corner of Scat Play Avenue and Atomic Batteries Boulevard sounds right.

a ##### that is really supposed to want to kill all humans
As much as I hate to do anything that suggests that I might once have read Diesel Sweeties, if memory serves me, of the #####s in the cast, only the red one has genocidal tendencies.  Perhaps it says something about you that you think all #####s are supposed to want to kill all humans!

Also, allow me to add my voice to the chorus of those who think this parody wasn't very funny.  I didn't even find it disturbing, just offensive -- and only then because it seemed to be trying to be offensive rather than because it was genuinely offensive.

Also, PROTIP for the original poster: if you're going to do xkcd next, it's been done (not that those are the only xkcd parodies that exist, but they're the ones that sprung immediately to mind for me).  Perry Bible Fellowship, too.

I think it's a role-reversal thing. In DS Maura is an ex-porn star who sometimes tries to get the ***** to try sexual things he's not entirely comfortable with (sex in public, &c)

I hardly think this should be interpreted as a "violence against women" joke. More like "beware the kinky side of bastard *****s, because their poop is caustic" joke. If anything, it is a slam against exploitive men.

One tiny can for being perhaps the only respondent to "get it".
