Well, that and it's character driven. Drives me nuts when I see individual strips posted on memebase knockoffs and then see the comment section fill up with people getting offended because they saw it out of context and took it the wrong way.StBishop said:That's kind of Questionalble Content's thing.DoPo said:-snip- It's just...awkward.
Awkward indeed. I honestly don't really like awkward humor all that much. For some reason it just makes me feel bad for the character getting humiliated.DoPo said:It's a play on words - her friends(?) see her eating peas and make a pun with the phrase "Giving peace a chance" only, you know, with peas instead of peace. She then goes somewhere to tell the same joke, only it's completely lost on that blond person.
I agree - I don't think it's funny but I also don't think it's hard to follow. It's just...awkward.

It's not really meant to be funny, though. The point of the comic is the way people react to it.Niklas Johansson said:I came here after googling "I'm giving peas a chance pun" because I too was confused. Not until I googled the other side of the pun did I realize that "Giving Peace a Chance" is a song written by John Lennon. I still don't find it very funny, but I understand it now.
