I hate those. They are video games comics where two dudes comment on how internal logic of video games would be absurd when applied to real life, only without video games.

It's insufferable when xkcd does it, but for some reason I find these charming. Maybe because they're short and don't seem nearly so smug.

GoGoGadgetChris posted:Lol I love those little ausitic aliens, they make some good points They remind me a little too much of my weirdo parents who were aware of social norms (like smiling in photos) but often didn't see the point in them so instead of playing along they just didn't bother. I mean, I guess that there's no actual benefit to curling back your lips to expose your dentition each time that someone wishes to record your physical presence by exposing light to film stock but for Christ's sake can you at least pretend to be normal if someone is recording it you weirdos.

vyelkin posted:Charles Boyce owns because he is 100% earnest about making dad computer jokes and public awareness of the technological age with the Keypad Kid and his aol.com email address. We live in an age of irony and detachment where caring about things is uncool, but Charles Boyce hasn't got the memo and continues to earnestly produce something he clearly cares about and loves. If you don't like the jokes that's fine, but I think he's great. Also he knows nothing about that which he professes to care about, where usually it's the other way around

it'd probably be fine for Mel Tormé to mistake Kramer for a disabled person in 2019, too, that'd get huge laughs and not be in any way considered inappropriate
