Weekly Webcomic Wrapup is offended

by Ross Miller on Jun 1st 2008 4:00PM

We're offended by the above joke. We tend to look up bunnies all the time, at odd moments, but we do not have A.D.D. Here are our picks for the week's best game-related webcomics; voting after the break.

The Unhorse (Penny Arcade)
I just wanted to play it again... (Extra Life)
Fwooosh! (Awkward Zombie c/o VG Cats)
Wii Fit Training (Monday Night Crew)
Wii Quit (2P Start)
Historical Landmark (Digital Unrest)
Knock Before Entering (Fanboys)

We need a "They were all horrible and I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to laugh again" option.

Your sense of humor must be busted.

I recommend seeing a doctor.

We need 50 CCs of LOL

STAT!

Thanks for being THAT guy, Naeem.

Someone always says exactly that every week. Face it, they were funny but you weren't in a laughing mood.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought these all sucked.

Fanboys. Definitely fanboys!

PA reminds me of Portal... but 2P Start is epic, especially that last picture :D

Digital Unrest, though it was a close run with 2P Start and Fanboys

Proves that a small, good selection is ultimately better

Hah, Fanboys was great xD

Am I missing some inside joke from the Fanboys comic?

They were role playing. As Banjo & Kazooie. Weird.

It's a sequel to this one:

http://fanboys-online.com/index.php?comic=271

also, you should listen to the joystiq podcast every once in a while..

I didn't quite understand the unhorse one but somehow it got me snickering. The Historical land mark one just reminded me about the hack of Duck Hunt that I wanted to make where you can shoot the dog.

He put the code in wrong which created the horse wrong. (Deformed), you see what you did there? I had to dissect the joke, now it's dead. That is on YOU.

2PStart.

IT PRINTS MONEY!

As many times as Fanboys has used that exact same joke, it still isn't funny. Nonetheless, at least it HAD a joke, which is more than can be said for Extra Life or 2P Start.

Is it wrong that I became aroused while looking at the 'Fanboys' strip.

I think I'm going to quit video games.

if you're under 24 then its not wrong, you'll get aroused at anything.

PA almost got my vote this week, and I very rarely vote for them. I had to give it to fanboys. I've walked in on my roommates doing some strange things before.

PA had me laughing so hard.
jesus, that was the best comic ive read in a while

Uh oh, I voted for PA.

I love the Star Wars plug in MNC. :D

What, no Super Effective this week?

SE 5 was a bit weaker than the previous ones, and the guy admits it. It's just filler to get to the good stuff.

That one did not deserve to be on the wrapup, other weeks have been waaaaaaaay better.

Fanboys mini is the best of the lot, simple because oh look bunnies.

Wow, that's the best Penny Arcade has been in a while. I was laughing *quite* hard...

Agreed. I roflmaoed.

This was an all-around good week for webcomics. Pretty much all of them were good. Of course, I had to vote for my own due to my bias. :)

So how many of you went and googled bunnies after reading this?

I did! Image search cute bunny and the first one is now my msn pic too.

Voted for Penny Arcade this week as that was a really cruel comic.

Try pigmy rabbits. They are the cutest.

this week was kinda unfunny if you ask me...

I was stuck between Fanboys, PA, and VG Cats/AZ. Went with Fanboys just for the wordless execution.

Concerning the Extra Life strip I thought it was a weird coincidence that I was in a game shop today and saw the Diablo 2 expansion set... not the original game mind, just the expansion (thought they would have been bundled together by now).

I passed it by though and bought Starcraft/Brood Wars ;)

really? Sidescroller wasn't good enough to make the list this week?

Really? You mean Joystiq doesn't just automatically know every single webcomic with a game reference that came out in the past week?

Say it isn't so.

;-)

If they'd stop surfing Penny Arcade and look for lesser known webcomics, they'd find them, and probably get back to #1 on the gaming webcomic roundup lists. Hard to be considered the best when you're always rounding up the ones we already read on a daily basis to begin with.

as an obnoxious website owner, I bombard their submit forms with it each week ;-)

actually don't mind when our stuff doesn't get featured. (for example, my own web comic has never made the list) Just surprised, considering some of the stuff that was featured.

fanboys is always the winner in my book

Wow, they were all pretty good, but The Unhorse has to be the best PA strip I've seen possibly in years. Gabe's expression in the second panel is simply priceless.

Agreed, that second panel makes me laugh every time I see it.

Best week in a while, but Penny Arcade won in my book.

A lot of good ones, but Extra life is just what I think the clerks are saying when I'm asking about old GBA games for my kids.

yeah they were just alright this week, but PA actually made me chuckle.

Oh god, Penny Arcade, ahahhaa...
Also, why the hell did Fanboys ruin it's art? I liked it's art. Now it looks like some crappy American 80's cartoon trying to be modern.

A.D.D. bunny strip FTW!!1!

This week was pretty good.
