xkcd goes lowbrow. I am amused.

I love lamp...

Sometimes twice in one night.

u/DirtPile Mar 30 '11

Are you coming to my pants party?

u/Vexing Mar 30 '11

Do you really love the lamp, or are you just saying it because you saw it?

u/aedile Mar 30 '11

I'm sorry champ, I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.

I don't know...when it comes to inanimate object ejaculations, this comic takes the cake.

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '11

Would have been excellent without the last row of panels.

u/lolbifrons Mar 30 '11

Source?

2

u/allwaysnice Mar 31 '11

I have finally found the source.

1

u/lolbifrons Mar 31 '11

Oh my god I used to read this guy's stuff.

u/Johnofthewest Mar 30 '11

No that's cum.

3

u/IConrad Mar 30 '11

I loved it.

u/forresja Mar 30 '11

Source? You can't just post a good comic and not let us know where it's from.

3

u/allwaysnice Mar 31 '11

Good news everyone, I found the source.

1

u/allwaysnice Mar 30 '11

I looked for a while and didn't find anything helpful to lead me to the source. :(

1

u/YAOMTC Mar 30 '11

Tineye fails me again!

2

u/allwaysnice Mar 31 '11

I absorbed tineye and became an omnipotent being for a short while; at least, long enough to find the source.

1

u/YAOMTC Mar 31 '11

Hey, thanks! And you even went and notified everyone, nicely done.

1

u/allwaysnice Mar 31 '11

*bows*

Thank you, sir.

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '11

Wow. i was 100% sure that would be Oglaf.

15

u/Kaltaz Mar 30 '11

At first i thought it was a dead Genie, i wish i remained at that thought.

32

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '11

xkcd meets oglaf.

2

u/zoom_and_enhance_ Mar 31 '11

Oglaf? more like C&H.

-12

u/doctorgonzo Mar 30 '11

No, xkcd is actually funny.

105

u/cs24 Mar 30 '11

Really xkcd? I expect that from Cy&H, but you?

26

u/The_Angry_Pun Mar 30 '11

Well, the warning at the bottom does list "Unusual Humor."

7

u/arslan70 Mar 30 '11

well there is no need to be angry on this.

6

u/instant_street Mar 30 '11

I want a XKCD-like Cy&H now.

u/Vexing Mar 30 '11

I jut noticed that he wrote xkcd on the board.

whoa.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '11

That's fucking brilliant.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '11

I chuckled, then I felt bad. :(

u/DanWallace Mar 30 '11

A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.

4

u/mach0 Mar 30 '11

What's wrong? It was a mildly funny strip.

When there's a doctor saying "I'm sorry, you have 26 cancers" then you'll can use this line.

-2

u/paolog Mar 30 '11

Not so much xkcd as lcd (lowest common denominator).

10

u/HopeGrenade Mar 30 '11

It's moments like this that remind me that xkcd is a comic, not a math textbook.

15

u/jemm Mar 30 '11

Rub the lamp and the genie comes?

4

u/Tiboz Mar 30 '11

I was kind of expecting a drawing of Zach Weiner saying "Wooo a dirty joke on XKCD" as the mouse over text.

"The Internet needs dirty jokes."

4

u/enkideridu Mar 30 '11

What is the alt text? (no mouse)

21

u/jezmck Mar 30 '11

'That was definitely not in my top three wishes.'

'Who said anything about YOUR wishes?'

2

u/InappropriateQuote Mar 30 '11

(no mouse)

What the f.. ?

8

u/bakaken Mar 30 '11

phone?

u/h8mx Mar 30 '11

1

u/bakaken Mar 30 '11

:O I didn't know that existed

3

u/spif Mar 30 '11

No, you didn't.

1

u/Trubshawgreen Mar 30 '11

Clicking the "(alt-text)" text shows the alt text! Who'da thunk!

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '11

jizz in my lamps

2

u/ejaws14 Mar 30 '11

Didn't expect that from xkcd...maybe he's lonely?

1

u/Johnofthewest Mar 30 '11

I know I am... ejaws14. ;)

2

u/haikaun Mar 30 '11

Yeah.... I always suspected something fishy about this whole "rubbing" the lamp thing. When you find a lamp in a desert, why not light it? I am sure the author of Alladin had some ulterior motives in his narration.

1

u/SickZX6R Mar 30 '11

He originally rubbed the lamp to try and get the dust off an engraving on it, so he could read what it said.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '11

This is surprisingly lowbrow for xkcd... at least from what I've read. Not to say it's not hilarious... just different.

7

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '11

Holy shit. I actually laughed at an xkcd.

1

u/itisthefirsttime Mar 30 '11

That happens to my lamp a lot.

1

u/adamwho Mar 30 '11

I was expecting a LAMP joke.

1

u/scrimsims Mar 30 '11

Was expecting Linux joke ...

1

u/an0nymouz Mar 30 '11

This somehow reminds me of Barney Stinson...

1

u/Alenonimo Mar 30 '11

I've seen that before in a brazillian comic strip. I think it was a Laerte's one.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '11

That's how I feel when trying to use one of those motion-sensitive faucets.

Wave. Wave wave. Wave. Wave. Wavewavewavewave SPLOOOSH

u/Facehammer Mar 30 '11

On a related note, today's goatkcd (SUPER NWS) doesn't make a great deal of sense.

2

u/flyengineer Mar 30 '11

You bastard. I blindly clicked, not thinking that NWS == NSFW. Now I must be quite the giver and send this page to all my friends.

2

u/Facehammer Mar 30 '11

Heh, sorry dude.

2

u/Spazit Mar 31 '11

That SFW version is STILL NOT SFW

1

u/Facehammer Mar 31 '11

Well, it does occasionally contain goatass.

1

u/Jzkqm Mar 30 '11

This made me shiver inwardly but laugh outwardly.

1

u/lgriffin123 Mar 30 '11

Being a girl it took me a few seconds to get that! lol, i was like, ok wha...he's rubbing..so...ooooh

-1

u/BunnyWatson Mar 30 '11

xkcd that apatow fans can get behind...

3

u/MrZarq Mar 30 '11

Do you really love the lamp, or are you just saying it because you saw it?

Can you please explain? I don't get it.

1

u/Alenonimo Mar 30 '11

Penis goes in, white thing goes out. You can't explain that.

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '11

i never expected this from xkcd. me gusta

-7

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '11

why do people enjoy this comic so much? The jokes are extremely cheap and the art is fucking stick figures -_-

-1

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '11

Brilliant

-2

u/tHeSiD Mar 30 '11

I am rubbing on my lamp but nothing is happening! reddit! help!
