If Team Fortress Pooh does not win, I lose faith in the internet.
Sora267 @ Jun 8th 2008 9:17PM
As will I.
jcd @ Jun 8th 2008 10:27PM
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!
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.
PyrosNine @ Jun 8th 2008 9:56PM
Team fortress pooh for the win.
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?

Thankyouverymuch.
TacoSupreme @ Jun 8th 2008 11:45PM
I liked it, was better than most of the choices here.
Naota @ Jun 8th 2008 10:27PM
Snake's in The Orange Box?!
Redface @ Jun 8th 2008 10:29PM
Quick Question: Has 2pStart Ever been funny?
WiiFTW @ Jun 8th 2008 10:32PM
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.
John Musco @ Jun 8th 2008 10:58PM
I don't understand who votes for Penny Arcade.
Penny Arcade = Dog Shit.
capt_carl @ Jun 8th 2008 11:12PM
Team Fortress Pooh. Gopher as the Engy was sheer genius.
Korova *Pyro aspect* @ Jun 9th 2008 7:38AM
My heart goes out to Tigger as Demo. That is so true.
And the donkey as the spy is funny.
Mr Khan @ Jun 8th 2008 11:21PM
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)
Worsel @ Jun 8th 2008 11:40PM
My fav that did not get picked:

Mr.ESC @ Jun 8th 2008 11:59PM
I liked that one.
Mr.ESC @ Jun 8th 2008 11:47PM
Lol 2p start comic was funny but I simply love Team Fortress 2.
ogvor @ Jun 8th 2008 11:54PM
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.
Cyber-Tyrant @ Jun 9th 2008 12:09AM
TF Pooh!
DEFINETLY!
BPM [MKWii: 2578 3585 8392] @ Jun 9th 2008 1:17AM
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...
