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

As will I.

All TF2 related comics end with the spy...

http://www.1fort.com/blog/red-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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Whoever does Fanboys is a genius.

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

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

I owned the game.

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

Still the losingest comic I've ever read.

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

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.

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

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.

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

'Fanboys' takes the pie from the post below.

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

Have you checked their latest one?

http://www.eegra.com/show/sub/do/browse/cat/comics/id/33

the best

http://www.eegra.com/show/sub/do/browse/cat/comics/id/36

That's just wrong.

I want to unsee that.

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

That Soul Caliber is hilarious.

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

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

"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!

Team fortress pooh for the win.

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.

Fanboys is brilliant this week.

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

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

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

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.

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?

"Toilet Gaming" - http://www.drunkduck.com/Tozzer/

Thankyouverymuch.

I liked it, was better than most of the choices here.

Snake's in The Orange Box?!

Quick Question: Has 2pStart Ever been funny?

I thought Tighten Up the Graphics had a good comic this week. I'm pretty sure PA has done a similar type of comic except that they won the Wrapup.

I don't understand who votes for Penny Arcade.

Penny Arcade = Dog Shit.

Team Fortress Pooh. Gopher as the Engy was sheer genius.

My heart goes out to Tigger as Demo. That is so true.

And the donkey as the spy is funny.

It was a solid selection all around, though the kid in me went for the Q*bert one

Though fanboys was a strong pull. It's just that i've never played TF2 or the other Orange Box titles (I love having a crappy PC, boy howdy)

My fav that did not get picked:

http://www.explosm.net/comics/1304/

I liked that one.

Lol 2p start comic was funny but I simply love Team Fortress 2.

Fanboys is just epic. Who would have thought to mix those two things together? I also love the name "Tighten Up the Graphcis!", which I hazard a guess is in reference to that awful commercial for some video game technical school.

TF Pooh!
DEFINETLY!

I liked them all this week, but I had to vote for Fanboys. That comic was great.

Man, used to really like Winnie the Pooh as a kid... Haha, stupid bear got his head stuck in a honey pot...
