I actually have quite a high threshold for offensive humor.

But when it commits the cardinal sin of not being funny, then it's just horrible and disgusting.

Take, for example, the worst webcomic on the entire Internet: The Freckled Finger (which it should be addressed as instead of the schizophrenic spelling in the title).

It's gross and stupid and painfully unfunny. The worst part is that a) The artwork is good, which just accentuates how much the writing actually sucks and b) It seems to have some semblance of a fanbase, however tiny it may be.

Worse than Shredded Moose? Yes. Worse than Sonichu? You better believe it!

Also, don't click on that link. I have no idea why I even put it there. Please, for the love of all that is holy and sacred, don't go to his site!

-looks at some of its strips-

Well, that was just demented. I didn't see anything that was any more objectionable than any other bad media, comedy-wise, but the art . . .

Longfellow · 2011-04-23 16:12:45

I went to his site.

Yeah, it's bad.

nohaynicklibre · 2011-04-23 16:13:27

So it's bad if a laugh at some of these?

Longfellow · 2011-04-23 16:23:16

Actually, I take it back; I find some of the strips almost funny. It's not a good webcomic but I've read worse.

nohaynicklibre · 2011-04-23 16:31:18

For example, this one is sort of funny

Too bad the decent ones are almost nonexistant and the author is a dick.

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-04-23 16:36:35

A choice collection of horror and misery:

Yeah, that's what fucking happens, you douchebag.

What, were minstrels too classy? Oh, wait, never mind.

HAHAHA, PEE

All he needs is a picture of an erect penis for hard.

wut

(All are probably NSFW)

At first I thought it just seemed like a lamer version of Perry Bible Fellowship, but those links are eeeurgh.

snowbull · 2011-04-23 17:40:04

The difference is that Perry Bible Fellowship was funny.

Ponicalica · 2011-04-23 17:45:11

Is it worse than Electric Retard?

snowbull · 2011-04-23 17:50:57

I have to admire Electric Retard's carefully honed MSpaint style.

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-04-23 18:00:08

-looks at Electric Retard-

Yes.

It's only marginally funnier in that it crosses so many damn lines that you're laughing not at any of the jokes, but at the sheer audacity of the mind that had to string them together.

I mean, an old man cuts of the dicks of small boys, removes their skin, grafts them to his face... and then has tea time? It's clearly the work of a madman.

snowbull · 2011-04-23 18:03:16

Yeah, the Electric Retard is clearly doing it just to be offensive as possible, I think the Freckled Finger guy actually believes what he's saying.

Myrmidon · 2011-04-23 18:06:38

"The difference is that Perry Bible Fellowship was funny."

Thus, the reason I said "lamer version".

snowbull · 2011-04-23 18:09:27

How is it that the later Electric Retard strips are less offensive? You'd think he'd just find more and more lines to cross.

nohaynicklibre · 2011-04-23 18:15:18

Holy shit Electric Retard is awesome.

Cutting people's faces never fails as a punchline

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-04-23 18:30:02

^^ No, it's far more offensive, which is why it's funnier; it's funny because of the complete mind-boggling offensiveness of it.

snowbull · 2011-04-23 18:31:17

No, I mean Electric Retard gets less offensive as it goes along. I started at the latest few strips and was only mildly disconcerted. By the times I neared the end I was getting seriously scared that someone might see me reading it.

Vorpy · 2011-04-23 18:32:48

The Lightning Bolt of Subjectivity makes your whining invalid because people like that webcomic.

snowbull · 2011-04-23 18:38:40

Yeah, but when its so few I think that can be written off as experimental error.

Or are you going to claim that subjectivity causes Sonichu to be good too? If you call subjectivity on everything then discussing anything becomes pointless.

Vorpy · 2011-04-23 18:40:56

^ Exactly, because personal taste is never a fact.

Except for murder victims and cannibals.

snowbull · 2011-04-23 18:41:44

So we agree that all opinions are completely equal?

Reality itself is subjective?

Vorpy · 2011-04-23 18:42:47

Yes, reality is subjective because of Solipsistic people, who's realities override our own and take priority.

Also my reality is the only good one.

snowbull · 2011-04-23 18:43:28

Your reality seems kinda you-centred.

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-04-23 18:45:31

I thought you would've figured out by now that here, everything's Vorpy-centric.

Fun fact: Galileo was excommunicated for daring to posit that it was the Sun at the center of the solar system, not Vorpy.

But since it has so few fans, does that not mean that any work with more could be called better?

Ponicalica · 2011-04-23 21:02:43

That would make Ctrl+Alt+Del one of the best webcomics in existence, though.

(hint: it isn't)

Howdy, Stranger!
