AWKWARD ZOMBIE

It's Katie's website. If you don't want WoW comics, go to VGcats or something.

He just said he thinks VGCats sucks too.

Which it can do.

Oh. Then go to Cyanide and Happiness. Bitching never solves anything.

Holy shit! You're a bloody telepath are you? You know there's a multi-million dollar prize for anyone who can actually prove that shit don't you? Better look it up!



You don't get the comics. You don't understand the joke. See I'm a bloody telepath too.

Perhaps I'm not as much of a comic connoseiur as your noble self, but I see no difference in the level of quality from one comic to the next. They're all drawn pretty much equally well. If quality dips it is because she's busy with other things, such as having a life. Calling them "utter shit" is just you trying to be wildly contradictory. You're mad because nobody's agreeing with you.



I don't understand this? If both sets of humour apply to "silly game mechanics" then, at their core, they are of the same level. Your subsequent long-winded modifier of being applied in a funny way yadda-yadda is only relevant to you, in that humour is, oh my god, SUBJECTIVE. Meaning whether or not something is "applied in a funny way" is entirely up to the individual reader.

And, heads up, every joke is funny because you get it. Jokes you don't get are, by definition, not funny.



I like VGcats.

f course I dissed VGCats. VGCats is webcomic hell.

A reference is not a joke. Neither is "Did you notice?"

The same people who like vgcats like dane cook, the worst comedian ever. "Hey, did you ever notice that sometimes SIGNS are hidden behind TREES?! XMFD *runs around like a retard*" is not humor. Just because you understand a reference or can relate to something does not make it ufnny- only those with less-than-great intelligence find that kind of humor to actually be humor.

VGCats and Dane Cook fans are, on average, really, really stupid. Because they only think something's funny if they get it and it directly states something, and they think if they get something it is funny. Super Effective, the "spinoff" of VG Cats, is the best example. It's NOTHING but "Hey, did you ever notice TWELVE YEARS AGO that something about pokemon is silly?" and it repeats over and over and over again.

That isn't humor. That's not a joke. THat's "Ever notice something? I'm pointing it out give me laffs hur".

As do I. I just don't religiously stalk them like I do here with Katie.

I mean uh uh uh.

Gonna respond directly to this.

NO.

That is not humor! "Haha I get it" doesn't make something humorous. Pointing something out doesn't warrant laughs. Jokes and humor aren't a simple as referencing something. That's the lowest form of humor. That's the idiot's form of humor.

And no, two things about silly mechanics are NOT the same thing.

"swimming pokemon have to learn surf." You get why that is strange, right? But that is not funny. It's not a joke. It's just pointing something out. That's "silly mechanics".

But if someone made a comic/joke about someone trying to teach a swimming pokemon how to swim, that would be a joke. It isn't just "Look! Dumb mechanics!" it's "Look! Dumb mechanics applied in a humorous way!"

That's the difference. There is a difference and to deny that just shows that you don't understand the bare basics of humor. Funny IS IN FACT subjective, but that does NOT mean that everything is a joke or can be considered one.

THAT IS WHAT HUMOUR IS. If you find it funny, it is humour. Frankly the people who seem to find it necessary to be "too cool" for simplistic jokes are the ones who are too insecure about their own intelligence to just laugh at what's funny and leave other people be.

And if you insist on saying that people who like Dane Cook and VGcats are stupid, then consider the fact that I like both of these and more, and have a professionally-tested IQ of 135, an SAT score of 2090 for which I was awarded a scholarship for academic excellence, and am currently employed as a scientific analyst by a leading water quality testing laboratory. I realise these are all rather arbitrary markers of intelligence, but jesus at least I can prove my ability to spell. Go stick a fork in your fat gob and get off our forums.

Humor and funny are hard words to define, a lot of people laugh at things that others probably won't, it depends on the person "sense of humor". People can laugh at the worst webcomic, but if they laughed and thought it was funny, you can't blame them.
Though I agree that fanboys in any webcomic (goes for anywhere, actually) are crossing the line.

I think I agree that Katie isn't really doing her best work these last weeks (and by best work, I mean appealing to a lot of people and making them laugh) but you can't really blame her, she is probably being busy with her life and is not coming with the ideas she used to have.

IF YOU LAUGH IT IS FUNNY. HOW HARD IS THIS TO UNDERSTAND? You're so wrapped up in having "high class" humour that you've blinded yourself to the simple fact that the entire point is to laugh! Who gives a flying fuck if it engaged the higher learning centres of your fat brain? IT WAS FUNNY. You are such a pretentious dick I'm surprised you can even read any of this with your head shoved that far up your booty!



FFFFUUU ASSHOLES MAKE ME ANGRY.

This guy may be lacking tact, but he makes good points.

Katie has proved she can write humour that isn't dependant on noticing things in games which everybody can relate to.

Her best stuff is when she'd add a new dimension to characters like the Smash Bros. by coming up with clever humour based on observations of the characters themselves - not in-game observations.

I'm talking about the one where Falco crows at the morning sun - then Samus follows up with her own squawk - because she was raised by birds.

Now THAT'S clever Katie, AND funny. You can give yourself credit for that kinda stuff.

It's not easy, BUT YOU CAN DO IT.


This kinda thing requires in-depth background knowledge of characters. I'm guessing a generic-character based game like WoW doesn't offer the benefits of in-depth character history like all the Smash Bros. characters have.

Oooogh why can't I ever avoid arguments god daisies you debate club.

And now if you'll excuse me I'm going to close this window and get back to my job.

Shut up.

Ever noticed how the old man throws his teeth at Cockfighting Society?
Ever noticed how the rival calls his squirtle fat to make it attack?
Ever noticed how there's Kamina references in Cockfighting Society?
Ever noticed how you punch bug catchers in the face after defeating them?
Ever noticed how repel is made of pee?
And more.
I'm not saying that all of these are good, but at least get your facts straight.
And for the record, I too like VG Cats.

As for Awkward Zombie's non-WoW comics never being "Hey, ever noticed that?":
Ever noticed how Pikmin is frustrating?
Ever noticed how the Cane of Pacci is actually pretty useless?
Ever noticed how doors in Metroid often don't do what they're supposed to?
Ever noticed how Link will fall off cliffs in Phantom Hourglass if you don't pay attention?
Ever noticed how the iron boots in the Legend of Zelda games are only heavy when you wear them?
And so on.

See what I did there? I quoted sources to prove my points, instead of just assuming that I'm always right.
Also, if VG Cats is for stupid people, then why did Katie once make a Guest Comic for it? Are you saying she's stupid?
I guess I would understand this if I had your supreme intelligence.

Not really.
I agree with you that stuff like Samus being raised by birds and thus imitating them is some of Katie's best stuff (together with her slice of life comics, in my opinion), but that has nothing to do with the WoW comics. It's about these comics being her best and standing out, not about the WoW comics being her worst and dragging her down.

Why do you people keep responding to him?
He's an obvious troll.
