Finally, a truly funny strip

Sep 22, 2009#2

Yeah I laughed at this one. Especially satisfying because I imagine Cole and Brent are standing at urinals while discussing inverted peeing.

I didn't think it was funny simply because it's kinda dated. A week ago it would have been funny but now that joke has run its course.

I know Scott's been sick and so he has an excuse, but I think he missed the train on this one.

Wait... how does his cape stay that way? :eek:

I think panel 2 would have been funnier if Batman were inverted, listening to his iPod, on a bus with a bunch of people staring at him.

Batman needs to drink more water.

He was up late and that was a morning piss. But I admit that hanging from the ceiling would help out if you awoke with a morning missile.

I didn't lol. The idea was funny, though.

It was kinda funny, but not laugh out loud to me.

Morning missle. That is a new one.

Wow. Morning missle brings new light to the "I'm going to cast...morning missile!" and "I attack the darkness!"

I hope it is not because she doesn't believe in a thing called love.

Sorry no - you make it sound like PA did the same joke a month ago.

The only thing they have in common is a hanging batman - an PA's isn't really even much of a joke.

Sep 22, 2009#19

Cause PVP's was? :slywink:

This just in... different people find different things funny.

I'm just sayin'... the "PA did it first" argument is a stretch. "Old joke is old" is kinda a stretch too.

Sep 22, 2009#21

Shegokigo

This just in, some things are just generally funny. Some things just aren't. :slywink:

Maybe to you.

But literally, the first thing I thought of was "hey, didn't PA already do this joke?"

Philosopher B.

His main cast still looks weird compared with the rest of the strip. Good comic, though I preferred PA's, if only 'cause I love dialogue-free strips.

Does batman have Parkinson's?
4th panel has me wondering...

Damn you. I just got the mental image of Michael J Fox pissing all over his bathroom stuck in my head.

I found it amusing. I may have chuckled. It was a long time ago.

And clicking your link we find that the answer is "no."

Sep 22, 2009#28

Shegokigo

I think the answer was pretty obviously "yes".

Let's look at the core of the jokes then:

1) Hanging upside down from a gargoyle is awesome!

2) No matter how stealthy you are, Batman is stealthier.

How are these the same joke?

They both hang on the reader having a knowledge of the game and batman or else the joke fly over your head.

Shortpacked already made this joke. Well, not exactly made... It explained the basic mecanism behind it!

So, when I read this strip, I didn't think "Funny" or "stupid" but "duh, batman makes everything funny..."

Both jokes are visual humor predicated on batman hanging upside down. The similarity is as obvious as, well, batman hanging upside down. You're just being obtuse.

PvP just never manages to be funny to me because it falls between two types of comedy that would work. His art style is that of more serious comics. Many of the jokes would really work better with his old-style art. For me facial expressions are everything in a visual joke and Scott sucks at it, full stop. Heck, one of the reasons I dislike CAD is because all his characters look like they're bored. But, PA strikes the right balance compared to them and heck, even if VGCATS isn't always great, the expressions on the faces and the style usually make up for it.

I bend over and around a lot when I sleep, so my reaction to this is "EWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEW".

I don't think he is, and frankly I think they're both good gags, although in this instance the PvP one was funnier. While they're both predicated on Batman hanging upside down, they still did two totally different jokes based on that. Saying it's the same joke is like saying that there's really only one knock knock joke, because really they're all based around the same premise.

I agree. Just because jokes have a similar basis does not mean they're the same joke. A man getting hit in the face with a thrown pie is different than a man tripping and falling face first into a pie, despite the fact that they're both physical humor based around a pie in the face.
