Nerf now rings most true, so my vote goes for Nerf Patch E.L.E. However, Penny Arcade will win because it has teh swears, and that's funny. Just ask Comedy Central.

I take it your best friend Filthy Assistant couldn't make it today? I guess it's a good thing you're here to spread the troll-comic for him.

What was it Filthy said? Something about the comic and how it was meant to be offensive, so if it ever did get a spot he could rub it in the face of others? Well, he didn't use quite so many words, but the main point is still there.

I feel I should make a custom poll which has positive votes and negative votes (just like Joystiq's comment system). A negative vote deducts one off the total vote for that comic.

I feel the amount of voters would go up drastically. So itd end up being a competition of who has the least negative votes :P

Pre-Man.

I like the idea, but then you get into the mob mentality of the internet. And I don't mean mafia. The internet is like a box full of blind, venom-spitting serpents, who fling vitriol and hate at everything that moves. Generally, criticism is supposed to be a positive thing, to give someone an idea of what needs to be changed to improve the craft.

Your solution would work like this: There are guys who would neg vote everything over and over again, because since being IN this contest, I've rarely seen a comic that gets his funny bone. Every week there's a guy on here saying that nothing is funny, trying out their version of 'aren't comics supposed to be funny ha-ha-ha' comment, and coming off as trolls.

Nothing against the constantly negative guys, I'm sure there's a joke on papyrus somewhere that an ancient Sumerian told that would get a chuckle out of him, but I'd rather than every week counting on hateful sons of bitches to neg vote as much as people regularly vote.

In general, spewing vitriol is easier than just avoiding something, and I know negative people NEED to fulfill the illusion that their hate-filled screeds are read and paid attention to. Because in other areas of these negative folks' lives I'd imagine people know already that they have the brains of a salad, and avoid their opinions and advice.

But because sarcasm and hate are the lifesblood of internet posters, I can see how the idea that the 'least negative' would survive. How about this as a substitute? Give up on webcomic reading altogether. Nothing in them has satisfied you, and you've said as much about (literally) a thousand times. I guarantee if you could look up your posts each week, how many of them are 'none of them were funny' or ' I want a none of the above option'? I'd say the majority, because thinking things are funny means you're not the one in control of the humor. And God knows the internet entitles everyone with a keyboard and a user interface to be the arbiter of what is and isn't funny.

Thanks everyone for voting this week.

Penny Arcade. An expert burn against Mr. Hawk

Dipswitch was also good, mostly because it speaks to more than just Dragon Age. In any video game, why can i have the power to kill gods, but not the power to smash open treasure chests?

None of them really made me laugh this week, so I just went for penny arcade.

Anyone who thinks you have to laugh at something for it to be funny doesn't really understand humour very well.

I'm confused. Am I doing it wrong all these years? Is something that's funny supposed to make me angry, cry or sad?

I thought the whole definition of the word "humor" is to find the funny side of something.

I know you're confused. You're one of the ones I was specifically thinking about when I posted this comment.

I think everyone has forgotten how awesome the Brawl in the Family ones are. That story is epic, and it's got me laughing out loud quite a few times.

@ eldee

I do hope you're not actually insinuating that the length of the Brawl in the Family comics and the fact that these ones are a series are the only reasons why any of it is funny. Please tell me I'm missing interpreting that.

I'm starting to find A Mushroom Kingdom Carol to be more of a decent story with funny bits here and there, and not just a straight-up laugh-out-loud series like Turnabout Kirby was. It's still decent, but in terms of sheer funny-factor, there are better series.

@ Mr. Fister

Like a few people have said before, there's more to humor then cheap one liners that make you verbally laugh out loud, and there's more to web comics then humor. I think the series as a whole has been much more entertaining then anything else, and there's still parts that are really clever and do make me laugh.

I like changing my name what of it?

Also I don't know who said it was a troll comic but it's not. It's funny that the people who seem to hate it the most still check it out every week and then offer up really terrible suggestions on how to improve much better comics such as Penny Arcade. I guess in that sense it is a troll comic, only we don't have to do anything troll-like in nature and you all just troll yourselves.

Trolly troll trolls :V

I'm gonna have to go with PA on this one simply because I do skate IRL, and I'm not happy, AT ALL, with the way Tony Hawk has been handling the bad reviews of Ride.

I also didn't find Penny Arcade very funny. Without sounding like an idiot, can someone explain what I missed?
