The first is probably a (really really tortured) parody of the idea that national debt = household debt.

The second is just ugh

AHR · 2011-08-01 11:14:46

I thought the VG Cats one is a parody...

The second is good only because of the lampshading.

The first...isn't as much a parody of the national debt = household debt idea, as it is a mockery of the general Republican idea which assumes that if you leave stuff alone it'll somehow magically get better.

Quoth SA: "If we point out our flaws, then we don't have to fix them!"

^^^It's a very lousy parody. If you're mocking bad allegories, you don't go into this much detail or else you're trying to say something yourself.

EGS lampshades instead of making quality stuff.

DO YOU WANT TO BE LIKE EGS?

DID YOU JUST FLAME EASYGAMESTATION?

AHR · 2011-08-01 11:21:35

...huh. So that's a real thing.

NO. WEBCOMIC. WHAT OF IT?

Good for you.

Although, whether you like the series or not, it is a very good example of abusing the trope Better Than a Bare Bulb.

^^ IJBM: She looks like a teenager, with that smirk.

She looks like a teenager, period. With the lowered sleeve shirt and the visible tanktop/bra straps.

Speaking of metaphors....what the fuck is this comic even supposed to mean?

Nova · 2011-08-03 04:59:54

That one is a parody of supposedly free-to-play games, I think.

Counterclock · 2011-08-03 05:02:47

I thought it was a metaphor for players getting aesthetic changes rather than content.

Howdy, Stranger!
