I guess when you take it out of the wrapper it stops being funny because... jokes?

The wrapper is the entirety of the joke. The joke isn't that it's a cheap monocle, the joke is that it's a cheap monocle that comes in a package that makes it look like a condom.

You know, I've got a funny feeling I've seen this all before.
At least I get the sense that he knows it's a terrible product, unlike the kittens thing.

I don't think you're supposed to actually remove it from the wrapper.

I'm gonna kickstart the exact same thing, only with a ziplock seal on one side of the wrapper so That Guy can be clever and repeat the joke endlessly and be the life of every party he's not invited to.

When you think about all the ridiculous cheap senseless crap that gets churned out of factories all over the 3rd world it's really no surprise that they could find someone to produce this new cheap senseless crap. At least I guess it'll give the sweatshop workers who've been spending 16 hours every day since they were 10 making fake plastic vomit something new to work on?? (Also their parents and grandparents spent 16 hours a day making fake plastic vomit, that stuff has been around since at least the 30s.)


Fake edit: I'm kidding, I'm sure SMBC will source their cheap senseless crap from a factory with ethical employment practices.

Seriously, he wanted money to buy costumes which he would wear for photographs that he would "send to yall".

Methinks he's just grasping at straws for ways he can get money out of people.

Like, he actually spends hours and hours coming up with ideas, tossing a few papers at his overflowing trashbin, etc. So long that he actually can't come up with anything that would actually make money, such as "take familys advice and get job".

Yeah but it's only because he needs money to buy his 3d software, 2d animation software, top of the line wacom tablet, etc. etc.

He literally can't do anything without those, you understand, that's why he needs the money! Duh! :cocaine:

Even if he's got nothing but the most basic computer/webcam setup I'd have a quantum of respect for his aspirations if he bothered with a flipbook or sketched storyboard held up to the camera.

I was watching Jodorowsky's Dune and that's pretty much how they presented images from the book so you could see what everyone who worked on it or seen the book. And that was good enough.
