Comments on these web comics are so bad: XKCD

somehow i can't really take this seriously, either you are very socially naturalistic (think: steinbeck) or you just gave xkcd the best review possible, why would xkcd write things for people who haven't had good lives? because it isn't romantically (in the broader sense) uplifting and sublime, why would it present things that don't happen in real life? because it presents the beautiful, hilarious, and/or ideal portions of life, i think you know this, your forced bad review of it (and it did read of being very forced) speaks wonders to what i hope is your admiration for it, but i might be wrong, the internet is full of idiots

xkcd is so pathetic it's almost hilarious.

It's funny reading the comments. First they think this isn't a satire, then it's a satire, but a bad one... then they take it seriously and say "yeah, xkcd sucks"

Well I must say I certainly enjoyed reading all these posts. It has turned into quite the little flame-fest.

But what I enjoy even more than that is scrolling up and down this polka-dot background. It looks freaky on my screen.

2009-01-15T15:51:00.000-08:00

You are great. God you're great. XKCD is indeed a terribly over rated comic, and I heartily agree with your interpretation of the comic.

All these "Oh, Sonty Mick! You unloved bastard! How can you be so wrong about what a joy it would be to spin about in a hamster ball! You are a horrible horrible excuse for living meat that writes a blog about criticizing XKCD, the greatest thing since I wished fairies would fly out of my butt when the sun came up and found out that other people who can only draw stick figures feel the same way!" responses just confirm the truth: xkcd is lame and those that think it is an amazing webcomic have not much to think about while they dream about what kind of fairy tramp-stamp tattoo to get during their work day in the cubicle since they can't bear to think about how they have nothing to look forward to when they get home. What was new was the revelation of how, when someone espouses a view that contradicts their own about this sad excuse for a webcomic, seriously hostile and violent supporters of dreamy-go-nowhere-talentless webcomics are in actuality, since a contrary view to them becomes to them an attack on their personal unfulfilled wistful selves.

Thanks for uncovering what a tremendous amount of hypocrisy is at the meaningless core of xkcd fans.

I just have to say... You looked way too far into everything.

I highly doubt that velociraptors are a metaphor for god... You've got to be kidding, right?

It's also very sad that you can't appreciate wit... apparently everything needs to be spelled out for you with happy endings. Disney was never my thing.

2008-05-28T09:38:00.000-07:00

I don't know which was more painfully smug, xkcd itself (which is brilliant, if painfully smug) or this satire, which got lost in the author's unresolved issues. oh wait. yes. not so much a painfully smug review of xkcd, the review itself was fairly thoughtful and flat; it was the getting lost in problems with the psyche, and how that's what the author of the review thinks everyone wants to read.

Now THAT'S painfully not just smug, but presumptuous as well.

Keep it up, I'll keep reading. Thought provoking at least, if not downright funny.

2008-03-13T18:03:00.000-07:00

Real people read xkcd. If you'd ever bothered to look past the seemingly minimalistic stick-figures and plot... webcomics aren't supposed to represent all of life. Slices.

2008-02-07T15:38:00.000-08:00

The worst part of XKCD is how INCREDIBLY pretentious the fans are. "XKCD is for smart, REAL people! We're the gritty neo-anti-heros who know what's what, we deal with REALITY!"

What I find funny, is that you've taken your time to read so many of his comics.

2007-12-12T19:45:00.000-08:00

Err... How many levels of irony are going on here? Are the people angry about the review also ironic? How about the people angry about the angry people? My irony dosimeter just turned black. Got to go...

Just one!"

2007-11-30T08:51:00.000-08:00

I am a truly xkcd fan, and i can say that this review is obviously "ironic" (on some wrong meaning for "ironic", but i don't care =p)

Do you "so-called fans" really believe he really thinks http://xkcd.com/140/ or even http://xkcd.com/89/ could bring him any haunting memories from childhood !? O_o

Maybe i should put it better this way: Do you really believe he believes that the 'raptors are a symbolism for God !!?!?!1!?/!?eleven!?

Sonty Mick, next time, put a tag < sarcasm > ... < /sarcasm > on your post.

Guys, if you don't understand this post, you don't deserve reading xkcd ;-)

2007-11-24T18:32:00.000-08:00

Unless you understand this comic: http://xkcd.com/45/ you don't deserve to review XKCD. If you are trying to be funny, well... I'm terribly sorry, you must be a truly tortured soul to think anything you have written is funny.

2007-11-21T09:54:00.000-08:00

So is this supposed to be a satire? All the comics that were linked where pretty funny. Reminds me of college days where nachos and cheese were considered a meal. And you really always did run out of one or the other. I guess its only funny to people who've lived in dorms...

2007-11-20T23:52:00.000-08:00

I thought it was pretty amusing. If you need something making funny of angry maddoxian webcomic reviews to have giant signs on it saying, "MAN PEOPLE WHO WRITE ANGRY WEBCOMICS HATE STUFF SUCK A LOT HUNH HUNH HUNH, LOOK, I AM PRETENDING TO BE ONE LOLZ" you are probably not the sort of person who would appreciate it anyway.

But, maybe I just have a defective funny bone. Who knows.

2007-11-20T13:06:00.000-08:00

i have never gone to a site, read once review and never wanted to come back. if you are going to review a comics online....atleast have a sense of humor. or if you do have one you need to be able to understand the humor. for the computer geek/math geeks out there this stuff is totally true. every other xkcd comic i read i can honestly say that it reminds me of a time when something like that happened. the romance makes me smile, the humor makes me laugh what more should anyone ask for in a comic? i'm sorry that you cant seem to understand that.
