xkcd vs. MATT

was just gonna say, all this negativity is getting me down now so to get back to the thread premiss:

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02483/170213-MATT-ST-web_2483363a.gif

I don't even have a degree and I'm pretty sure it'd take me ~5 seconds to figure out that xkcd bro is talking out of his pooper on any given subject

if only the final panel was "art" or "writing"..."5 seconds" with a picture of the first 3 panels. hahaha so meta.

hey wait a second, over 90% of xkcd dude's comics i've read are him taking giant shits on about 90% of humanity. and he's the dude who scoots away from 'negative people'. what a turd. that's the vibe that irritates me about this. ok, i'm serious now, i'm done reading these.

That's a shame, I was going to ask for an example.

jajajaja slocki likes xkcd

It can be pretty gross but there are also some science joke ones I share with my dad SUE ME MAX

Also I always like to get on the other side whenever there's a disdainful narcissism of small differences-y ILX pile-on

And yes, I am calling myself a hero

the horsemeat matt joek made me laugh

I like how he points out to the joke to the reader

Ugh, just seen the "pretend to be an academic" one. FUCK THIS GUY.

from strength to strength

otm

the guy should be pointing at the marquee tho

why is there a halo around his head? did he cut/paste a different head onto the original comic?

go hard or go home, that's what MATT always says.

lasagne one made me lol :-\

can't wait for MATT's forthcoming desk calendar, 365 Strips Where The Punchline Is "Horse"

ripped from the headlines

MATT cartoon where halo-head guy is reading a MATT cartoon and saying "this guy MATT is really flogging a dead horse".

the lasagne whisperer joke is funny if you divorce it from all context

yeah i lolled at that one

hah, I didn't even get that there was a context until you said that

Ok critiquing still frames of Joe Biden eating a sandwich is kinda funny.

hey wait a second, over 90% of xkcd dude's comics i've read are him taking giant shits on about 90% of humanity. and he's the dude who scoots away from 'negative people'. what a turd. that's the vibe that irritates me about this. ok, i'm serious now, i'm done reading these.

Could do some fancy strikeout/replace work here w/"XKCD" and "ILX" but can we just take it as a given instead?

first part yes, I guess we do hate everything that isn't us, but at least we're not so fucking coy about it

although to be honest I hope I don't come off that way. i even watched "two and a half men" once, unironically, and laughed a couple times.

This is on every fucking xkcd page. I can't decide if this is a holier-than-thou proclamation like the comic linked here: http://xkcd.com/451/ In which case more fuel to fire, or a tacit admission that the comic will only be funny to massive nerds, in which case maybe we should give him some slack. I think it's the former though, even the 'liberal-arts majors' phrase seems designed to be shitting on those with more of an interest in humanities vs. sciences.

Warning: this comic occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults), and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors).

dude is almost 30, christ

that's some IQ

unusual humor

your hero apparently being Alan Sokol is NAGL. LOL tricked you with my fake po-mo jargon!

kinda amusing how this guy shits on liberal arts types when he's best known for illustrating a webcomic that often hamfistedly tries to be deep when it's not trying and failing to be funny

Liberal arts majors don't mind some self-debasement.

alt text: "ISO 8601 was published on 06/05/88 and most recently amended on 12/01/04" so what is he saying i don't even

hilariously the recommended items link in my google reader only ever contains xkcd posts.

he's poking fun at his own pedantry DONT U SEE

Note that 20130227 is explicitly allowed in that standard.

god damnit I just remembered that comic where he goes "Lol youre buying techno on iTunes? Why not just LOOP THE 15 SECOND SAMPLE 20 TIMES (lol ICEBURN!!! techno "songs" are 5 minutes!) and now I hate this guy again, that's a joke the shithead 13-year old version of myself would have come up with

sports are dumb hurrrrr

"nothing in the realm of human affairs will ever hold any significance, because i fucking love science"

hahah I was just gonna say that that reminds me of the I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE movement
