Critical Miss: #8

[Optimus Hagrid]

Are you allowed to reference McDonalds like that...from a legal standpoint?

Exactly what I thought! It would be sadly ironic if this comic was suddenly discontinued because of it.

These comics are starting to get on my nerves. I keep reading them in the hopes they'll get better but as far as I'm concerned they just keep getting worse.

Yeah me too. I want to find them funny, but whenever I get to the end of a strip I'm like '... um?' and wondering if I was actually meant to laugh or not. I think the punchlines need to be alot stronger.

I'm gonna have to agree with both of you. Some of the earlier ones were actually quite funny, but it seems to have gone downhill pretty fast when you consider how much potential these strips have. I guess you could describe it as a "Critical Miss". /ba-dum-tish

I couldn't even say the same for the earlier ones. These aren't going downhill, they're just already scraping the bottom of the barrel.
PS. Is that a Kickassia avatar?

It's been 8 comics guys! 'God, remember 1 week ago when this comic was good, those were the days.'

Actually I like this one.

 

[RenoScott]

you want fries with that? XD

 

[DTWolfwood]

yes quoting one of the best motivational speeches in cinema history is win! XD

 

[Kollega]

Now that's really, really depressing.
I would laugh because the joke is pretty good but it's actually more sad than fun.

I second that notion. "Money > ethics" is not too funny of a statement. Absolutely not funny, in fact. I didn't even smile.

Man, sometimes i wish i were a sadistic sociopath. Would make my life so much easier.

I think they are allowed to make such references if it is for the purposes of satire. Note that webcomics don't get sued for taking the piss out of videogames.

If it wasn't legal Mad magazine would be working at McDonalds.

Yup, got it from the Avatar Store group. Big Spoony fan.

Why is there always a hamster?!?

What does it want?

 

[zombie711]

this comic lies. macdonalds hates trees

 

[300lb. Samoan]

Spoiler: My face when she made that speech:

 

[My1stLuvJak]

I love the "save trees" collection box, that was a nice touch!

 

[runedeadthA]

"I want you to get up, go to the window and yell, I'm as MAD as Hell! And I'm not going to take this anymore!" *at the drive-thru window* "Riiight, Can I have my order now?"

 

[EBHughsThe1st]

Finally, a funny punch-line.

 

[Tirnor]

I'd like to say this was the best "two guys and a water cooler" comic I've ever seen...

But I think that would have to go to Dilbert.

Eh.. what do you mean "two guys and a water cooler" isn't a genre? A water cooler is TOTALLY different than a couch. It changes the whole perspective on the punchline... by.. um... referencing a different location where the gamers get hydrated... yeah.

 

[The Wooster]

So the comic went down yesterday for a while and for once it wasn't my fault! Weirdness.

 

[Firia]

Wait, did that little gerbil just hop from her right shoulder to her left from panal 2 to 3?
Just thought I'd point that out. Do I get a cookie?!

Anyway, funny stuff. And sadly I can see it as true.

I was personally looking for the gerbil in the last panel, only to be disapointed by its absence. Clearly it succeeded where the others have failed. :3

In other news;
I enjoy the brand of humor in these comics. Ignore the naysayers and total buzz kills that feel some obligation to post their displeasure in the thread connected to the post. Carry on!

 

[paragon1]

So...why isn't there an American flag waving back there, given the source of the speech in the third panel?

 

[Mr. Grey]

Well... even though the punchline is perfect, I can't laugh.

Perhaps it needs more garlic.

Better question: where does the hamster go in panel 4?

Is it in the hamburger?

Wait... hamster... hamburger...

McDonald's hamburgers are made of hamsters!

Actually I'm pretty sure the patties are made of cardboard.

Clearly the hamster is... on... its... smoke break? I dunno, I didn't see the Humane Society say that no animals were harmed during the making of this comic... so your theory is probably the closest to the truth. That or it replaced those two.
