If Team Fortress Pooh does not win, I lose faith in the internet.

Sora267 @ Jun 8th 2008 9:17PM

As will I.

All TF2 related comics end with the spy...

I can't believe two newcomers got into the lineup but the "Red Spy" comic didn't. It would have given Fanboys some decent competition in the polls.

ComradeTrotskii @ Jun 8th 2008 9:07PM

'Fanboys' is absolutely brilliant. That's all.

Norty @ Jun 8th 2008 9:45PM

They can be hit or miss, but when they nail something, it's usually brilliant and teh lulz.

Desert Eagle @ Jun 8th 2008 9:50PM

Yep, even with the change of artstyle, Fanboys still had the humor I've always enjoyed from them.

But personally(and honestly), I think the old artstyle Fanboys had will never be beaten.

Jay @ Jun 8th 2008 9:11PM

2P start was pretty good
Fanboys was GREAT
others were ok

GatorSax2010 @ Jun 8th 2008 9:15PM

I called Team Fortress Pooh as the winner as soon as I saw it earlier this week. Prove me right, Internet!

Neebs @ Jun 8th 2008 9:21PM

Whoever does Fanboys is a genius.

gore on the floor @ Jun 8th 2008 9:22PM

Was Q*Bert Adventures written by an 8 year old? SHIT.

dark_inchworm @ Jun 8th 2008 11:11PM

Did you ever play the game? I'm guessing that's a no.

gore on the floor @ Jun 9th 2008 6:48AM

I owned the game.

Yeah, I know. When you died, he'd do the "$@#!%" curse thing.

Still the losingest comic I've ever read.

gore on the floor @ Jun 8th 2008 9:25PM

Also, none of those comics stand a chance against Fanboys.

Random1448 @ Jun 8th 2008 9:25PM

It was a hard choice between 2p and fanboys, but I had to go pooh... it's up to you to decide whether that's a pun or not.

Jim Halpert DM @ Jun 8th 2008 9:28PM

Looks like even Snake is unable to resist The Orange Box. Wonder if he's played portal.

PointyThings @ Jun 8th 2008 9:30PM

I really think they should have gone with the Penny Arcade about Ninja Gaiden. I thought that one was ridiculously funny. Oh well, Fanboys deserves it more anyway.

Alexander @ Jun 8th 2008 9:33PM

I refuse to vote. None of them are particularly great.

Transcendental Protagonist @ Jun 8th 2008 9:36PM

'Fanboys' takes the pie from the post below.

Marzz @ Jun 8th 2008 9:36PM

My god. The TFPooh is great. But i've voted for the Hilarity Comics.

Have you checked their latest one?

That's just wrong.

Kael @ Jun 9th 2008 12:48AM

I want to unsee that.

The only time B^U is funny is when it's parodied...

Korova Pyro aspect @ Jun 9th 2008 7:33AM

That Soul Caliber is hilarious.

I think of Hillary Clinton every time I see the word hilarious. Can a person ruin a word?

riggs @ Jun 8th 2008 9:43PM

im gonna get u something girl.....its my snake in a box.

Desert Eagle @ Jun 8th 2008 9:43PM

"Sssspy ssssapin' mah sssentry!"

Fanboys wins the comic of the ages award for that. I'll sacrifice animals for Scott Under if he keeps making brilliant comics like these!

PyrosNine @ Jun 8th 2008 9:56PM

Team fortress pooh for the win.

j.howlett @ Jun 8th 2008 9:49PM

i would just like to mention a web comic favorite of mine, threepanelsoul.com . i can't make a link on my ps3 and joystiq bugged out on me when i tried to post in the results from last week. its about games this week check them out.

BrennaCeDria @ Jun 8th 2008 9:57PM

Fanboys is brilliant this week.

finnith @ Jun 8th 2008 9:57PM

Why is everything (but Fanboys, of course) so crappy this week?

Master Bruce @ Jun 8th 2008 10:10PM

I don't get it, is Hilarity Comics supposed to be funny "haha" or funny "strange"?

ogvor @ Jun 8th 2008 11:57PM

It's a pretty lame comic. An attempt to use curse words instead of constructing an actual joke.

dark_inchworm @ Jun 9th 2008 12:25PM

If you peruse through the rest of their comics, you'll find that the style of humor is drastically different than most of the comics showcased here. To put it simply, Hilarity Comics is absurd in the purest sense of the word.

I wish they'd update it regularly, 'cause I think it whoops the shit out of the rest of these, but your mileage may vary.

Rob @ Jun 8th 2008 10:23PM

Ok, so I'm COMPLETELY BIASED, but there's a new Tozzer strip which you folk may enjoy. Or not, who knows. Maybe one day we'll get into the joystiq wrapup... well, we can dream, right?
