Weekly Webcomic Wrapup is still sore from last night

Last night's Spike TV Video Games Awards ceremony was more painful to watch than embarrassing home movies filmed at a kitten-beheading festival. We had to watch grown, actual men get teabagged by other actual grown men, because that's what video games are all about, apparently. If you were fortunate enough to escape the dark void that is the VGAs, our liveblog of the event is a pretty accurate representation of what the experience is like.

We're going to try and calm down our newly acquired posttraumatic stress disorder by looking over our favorite webcomics from last week and voting for our favorites after the break. We suggest you do the same!

Nepotism (Brawl in the Family)
Zelda, It's Cold Outside (Virtual Shackles)
Song of Time (GG-Guys)
Make Your Own Skyrim Comic (Nerf Now!!)
Clairnoyance (Awkward Zombie)
Ms. Pacman Adventures (Magical Game Time)

Awkward zombie was somewat funny the miss pac-man comic I really don't get too much.

@Special Agent Bob
Same, I have no idea what it's supposed to mean or why it's the least bit funny....

Has Penny Arcade been banned from this list or something?

@thevoid
they have been doing a series of nonsense dungeons and dragons strips recently. nothing really gaming related

@MaliceMajorE15

You realize how incredibly silly your sentence looks?

@Courtney
HOLD THE FCKN PHONE PEOPLE! HIDE YO WYFE HIDE YO ARROWS N KNEES. WE GOT OURSELVES A G-NAZI.

"they have been doing a series of nonsense dungeons and dragons strips recently. nothing really gaming related"

=

"They have recently released a series of nonsensical Dungeons & Dragons strips recently. Nothing gaming related, really"

@pluupy
I hope that second "recently" forever burns into your conscience because we don't have an edit button.

@pluupy
No, stupid.

He's calling him out on saying "D&D has nothing to do with gaming". The last 30 years of RPGs and "RPG elements" would beg to differ on that.

@The Great Cornholio

Fine, nothing much to do with modern video gaming. Nothing that the vast majority of Joystiq readers would care about.

I really didn't find these very funny. :/
Awkward Zombie was a little amusing, though, so it gets my vote

I missed it. I know everyone poo-poos these. I thought last years was a good, mature step forward and was hoping this years would be another.

Anyone know where I can watch it?

@SawyerTechno

Hell. That's probably all they get to watch down there.

Eh, not really any good jokes this time around. I'm gonna go with GG-Guys because it was the only one to make me chuckle a bit.

Also because of the stealth pony.

I didn't understand why the guy in the lab coat was there at the end of Awkward Zombie?

@343 Guilty Fart

Where the hell is the joke in Magical Game Time?

Brawl in the Family gets it this time

I appreciate that all artists need to find their own style of drawing to stand out, but what the hell is up with Zelda in that Virtual Shackles comic? That's a very manly tranny.

@freaparn

Was thinking the EXACT same thing!

What did we, the wonder and sexy readers of this website, do to deserve these sub-par selections?

@GooberMagoo
IT IS CLEAR THAT THE HYPNO TOAD IS THE SEXIEST OF US ALL.

I apologize to last week. This week was infinitely worse.

@Zenith

holy crap yes. i didn't even crack a smile this week.

Since I've been here, I can honestly say that I believe this was the least funny week of comics. Not a good followup to the VGA torture.

I created an account just to say how awful this week's comics were.

Yes, it was completely worth it!

I'm between Brawl in the Family and Awkward Zombie.

...for once. (voted BitF)

@fhjd
Did the bot just scold itself?

Song of Time gets it for me, Pinkie Pie is in the background.

Pure WIN.

So much hate, I actually liked 3 this week (the Mario Kart one and both Link-Playing-the-Ocarina ones). I voted for the Mario Kart one because it made me laugh the loudest, but something about Link creepily encouraging Zelda to stay and drink is really funny to me.
