Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

If hiring JB to cheer them up doesn't work, they're already dead.

[+] [email protected] -7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Given that I despise JB, I must have been born in the afterlife, then.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 5 months ago (3 children)

I want to know everything about why you despise JB. Please be as verbose as possible if you feel up to this request.

He insists upon himself. ;p

Im too dumb to understand what you are telling me lol

It's just a Family Guy reference (The Godfather)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

His persona is the opposite of subtle. He plays loud, boorish characters. Those criticisms may also be seen as a strength.

However, videos of him meeting his fans are nothing like his film persona.

He represents much of what is wrong, crass and inane in US humor. Sandler, Stiller and him are concentrated vomit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

You didn't describe anything that was wrong, crass, or inane. You just compared him to two other comedians and said you don't like any of them.

Cool, you don't have to like them. They're comedians, not everyone had the same sense of humor. They're not doing any harm to anyone with their humor style. The three people your listed, specifically, are extremely well known in the business as being some of the most lovely people to work with or for (in Sandlers case).

You don't sound cool or discerning with your tastes after that explanation, you just sound pretentious.

If you like humor based on vulgarity or scatology you are vulgar and not very discerning either. I know that for USians wanting to rise above vulgarity is wrong.

Don't go putting words in my mouth.

And once again, your accusations are more of a confession here. It just makes you sound pretentious. That hasn't changed.

That doesn't make you a bad person or anything, not saying that, but you come across very much like someone at a social gathering I'd want to avoid like a douchecanoe. :)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

I guess that for you "having fun" in any social gathering involves high doses of alcohol and an insane amount of material destruction, so I'd be very happy of never making your acquaintance, thank you very much.

Bro thinks he’s Shakespeare or something fr fr no cap

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 months ago

Yeah, using jargon is very useful to communicate in an international forum.

Jack Black wouldn't cheer me up but knowing my friend cared enough to hire Jack Black would

[–] [email protected] 28 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'd also have a little touch more of respect to Jack for not flogging a dead horse here and backing off when he realized it was pretty serious.

Jablinski rocks like that

Who is going to pay for such luxurious mental Healthcare?

Better yet, who is even available to provide it?

It is what it is.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago (2 children)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What if it is windows vista?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Then I have bad news.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Holy shit this is too real.

"All of the colossal problems facing society will still be charging forward unimpeded, but at least you can feel good about it!"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

It do be like that.
