postjack Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 all of my geekier Internet savvy friends adore it, and the newer comics consistently make the digg front page. I've sat for hours at work sifting through their archives, and nary a chuckle escapes my lips. so I gave up on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fungi Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 You are not the only one. I get tired of inside (in this case, inside is the tech/geek crowd) jokes pretty quickly so xkcd became more of the same old really quickly.

foo_me Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 i like it and check it on a regular basis. there are some gems...most recent one "a bunch of rocks" is pretty cool...not funny, but interesting way of looking at things generally, they're not funny and i never thought of them as funny, but very creative imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I don't even know what it is but if Posty sat for hours trying to get a laugh it would seem he has too much time on his hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Thanks for reminding me. (wanders off to get a good laugh from the latest xkcd) Alright, it's not an "out-loud" laugh, it's more of an internal "virtual" laugh, but the endorphins are the same.

Duggeh Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I don't think I've ever laughed at one, but sometimes they are just plain old clever or lovely. If you want to laugh at a webcomic, read Cyanide and Happiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark baguette Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I had to google it, but instantly recognized the artwork. I got a chuckle out of a few of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asebastian0 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Yeah, definitely not laugh out loud funny but interesting enough half of the time that I keep it in my feed reader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E Woven Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 xkcd's amusing. Not hilarious, but amusing. others to note: saturday morning breakfast cereal toothpaste for dinner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirumu Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I inadvertently caused a shitstorm of epic proportions in the randompictures group by posting this graph. That thread is far funnier than many webcomics. I do occasionally laugh out loud at xkcd. It's not funny all the time or even most of the time by any means, but even when it's not funny I can still appreciate the thought patterns behind it. I'd rather look on the bright side too. I mean at least it's not CTRL-ALT-DEL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherwood Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Dino comics funnier than Achewood? Nevar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungrych Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I think it is one of the funniest things in the universe, but it definitely appeals to a certain type of person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ojnihs Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 i have no idea what xkcd is...better go have a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefy Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I find only about half of them funny...... mostly the ones that pick up on my own personality characteristics. In particular: But Dinosaur Comics? I jut don't get it I'm afraid \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopstretch Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 What the fuck are you talking about? I am old. The end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefy Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 What the fuck are you talking about? I am old. The end. Just a comic made by a gigantic nerd: xkcd - A Webcomic - Theft of the Magi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 hehe, yeah, that was a really good one. i hate their "epic" comics, though. really, really hate.What is wrong with you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingwe Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 XKCD is wonderful, thought provoking, icky, funny, amusing, weird, annoying, sad, happy, and delirious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherwood Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Dinosaur Comics is tremendous. No opposition from me here. They also make the best t-shirts of any webcomic I know of. I just feel that the majesty of the Great Outdoor Fight is not to be outdone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBLoudG20 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Dinosaur Comics is tremendous. Almost as much as your mother. But Dino rules the schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrice Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 i rather liked todays. Man, if I had a dollar every time that happened to me.... I'd have... $0.42. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman94 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I like xkcd, but not enough to read it daily. The epic ones are boring, and sometimes the science-as-religion is poured on a bit thick. I don't mind some of the inside jokes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
