Weekly Webcomic Wrapup is offended

by Ross Miller { Jun 1st 2008 at 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.

Jhongerkong @ Jun 1st 2008 5:27PM

We need 50 CCs of LOL

STAT!

E.J. @ Jun 1st 2008 7:09PM

Thanks for being THAT guy, Naeem.

Ghen @ Jun 1st 2008 7:20PM

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

JCD @ Jun 2nd 2008 11:15AM

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

TX2 @ Jun 1st 2008 4:13PM

Fanboys. Definitely fanboys!

Raikage (LDF CRAB BATTLE!!!) @ Jun 1st 2008 4:15PM

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

Mr Khan @ Jun 1st 2008 4:15PM

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

Proves that a small, good selection is ultimately better

Roto13 @ Jun 1st 2008 4:17PM

Hah, Fanboys was great xD

spoo @ Jun 1st 2008 4:19PM

Am I missing some inside joke from the Fanboys comic?

ChooChooCharlie (MK 0430-8740-2222) @ Jun 1st 2008 4:33PM

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

GatorSax2010 @ Jun 1st 2008 4:34PM

It's a sequel to this one:

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

liquidninja @ Jun 1st 2008 4:19PM

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.

Tiptup300 @ Jun 1st 2008 10:02PM

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.

Lewis (GT: StoneRevolver) @ Jun 1st 2008 4:21PM

2PStart.

IT PRINTS MONEY!

Yourself @ Jun 1st 2008 4:37PM

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.

ComradeTrotskii @ Jun 1st 2008 4:39PM

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

I think I'm going to quit video games.

Ghen @ Jun 1st 2008 7:21PM

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

FiredCylinder @ Jun 1st 2008 4:46PM

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.

mike shea @ Jun 1st 2008 4:53PM

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

Neebs @ Jun 1st 2008 4:55PM

Uh oh, I voted for PA.

BrennaCeDria @ Jun 1st 2008 5:00PM

I love the Star Wars plug in MNC. :D

j.lee @ Jun 1st 2008 5:10PM

What, no Super Effective this week?

The Doctor @ Jun 1st 2008 8:55PM

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.

McWeen @ Jun 2nd 2008 8:35AM

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

Adam Reiniger @ Jun 1st 2008 5:31PM

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

AnonymousTipster @ Jun 1st 2008 5:33PM

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

#28 @ Jun 1st 2008 8:55PM

Agreed. I roflmaoed.

MNC Dover @ Jun 1st 2008 5:40PM

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. :)

Jacksons @ Jun 1st 2008 6:01PM

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

Varone @ Jun 1st 2008 6:25PM

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.

Korova Pyro aspect @ Jun 1st 2008 9:07PM

Try pigmy rabbits. They are the cutest.

CharleyTony @ Jun 1st 2008 6:08PM

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

Geist @ Jun 1st 2008 6:29PM

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

Godmil @ Jun 1st 2008 6:38PM

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 ;)

Gavin @ Jun 1st 2008 7:26PM

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

Phillip @ Jun 1st 2008 7:59PM

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.

;-)

LaughingTarget @ Jun 1st 2008 8:21PM

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.

Gavin @ Jun 2nd 2008 9:40AM

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.
