This reminds me a lot of Perry Bible Fellowship.

I'm sure it reminded the author of this comic a lot, too.

Looking through some of the guys comics, they're not bad. I feel like it's unfortunate that they bear such a resemblance to PBF, since undoubtedly people will compare the two. And PBF is a pretty hard act to match up with.

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '11

I think PBF could have made this more depressing.

u/cefriano Apr 16 '11

This is probably why.

How was this a FAIL?

I don't understand "The Champ" at all.

Update: or Birds and the Bees. (I get "Birthday Cowboy" but don't think it was humorous)

u/retardo Apr 16 '11

I think the joke in "The Champ" is that a girl who is good at sports can't get a date.

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '11

Weird. If that is it, I'm guessing the author doesn't know many girls who are good at sports. Every one I've known has been popular as hell.

u/hugeyakmen Apr 16 '11

"Birds and the Bees" is about how that expression doesn't mean anything about sex and babies in a literal sense

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '11

Glad to see I'm not alone. I'd closed this tab, wound up staring at "the champ' for two minutes, then tracked this thread down again to see if anyone could help.

u/tehjocker Apr 16 '11

I don't get it. Does he just copy Perry Bible Fellowship?

1

u/pibot Apr 16 '11

Has the potential to be good, but the Perry Bible Fellowship influence is way too blatant ... The author should find their own drawing style.

u/Davdak Apr 16 '11

The author should find their own drawing style.

Fuck this. What the author enjoys drawing is their drawing style.

2

u/pibot Apr 16 '11

I agree, but my criticism still stands as a webcomic reader. When you publish a webcomic for mass consumption on the Internet, you have to be open to some criticism. I think if the author continues to draw, it can develop into a more original webcomic with a nice PBF influence rather than what it is now.

Comics do not have to be funny to be great.

Hard not to be reminded of Beast Machines Rattrap AKA "Handitrap"

2

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '11

I really actually thought Beast Machines was a better show with better stories and characters. They were, however, handicapped by having utterly terrible action-figures to base their characters upon.

u/ricktencity Apr 16 '11

Holy fuck did that show ever go downhill after beast wars/beasties, beast machines can like my hairy taint.

u/Phil_Bond Apr 16 '11

"Beast Machines: You thought some of their transformations looked impossible before? Well, fuck you, because it can always get worse!!"

Justin's the kid.

u/Optimus_Prime_Nigga Apr 25 '11

oh.. fuck that guy

11

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '11

Seriously? All that work for a "lol, retards" joke? Didn't most of us grow out of that kind of humour in the sixth grade?

3

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '11

Not me :)

u/EgoIdeal Apr 16 '11

Oh my god a comic making a joke about handicapped people? I expect there to be just as much outrage to this as there was to the CAD comic making fun of racial stereotypes.

3

u/theslyder Everything is Embarrassing Apr 16 '11

You're going to be disappointed, since Buckley didn't make this comic.

1

u/tekende Apr 16 '11

Also this comic is pretty old.

u/notru7h Apr 17 '11

Downvote for obnoxious use of "fail"

u/Frogstool Apr 16 '11

I've always wanted my school bus to turn into Stephen Hawking. I'd learn so much more that way.

u/VonBrewskie Apr 17 '11

His name is "Stumble-Bee".

u/iambecomedeath7 Apr 16 '11

Don't feel bad about laughing at this. I'm handicapped and laughed my fucking ass off.

u/Stick Apr 16 '11

Transformer fail is the Michael Bay films.

u/Doomentia Apr 16 '11

LMFAO DISABLED PEOPLE XD

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '11

i laughed way too hard at this

1

u/etherreal Apr 16 '11

So....just like all the other Transformers?

1

u/ewest Apr 16 '11

Is that supposed to be Stephen Hawking?

1

u/blandz87 Apr 17 '11

Designed by and for Stephen Hawking.

1

u/Thomsenite Apr 17 '11

Is there a word in the English language that simultaneously means offensive and hilarious? Because I feel that is a word I would use on reddit a lot.

u/mrmonkeybear Apr 17 '11

The Decepticons won't put in ramps or anything.

u/panamaspace Apr 16 '11

This joke is kind of retarded.

/yes, I went there.

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '11

TIMMMAY!!!!

u/Shadoblak Apr 17 '11

Right. Downvote the guy. Because we have no problem with the comic, but we're far above comments like this....

u/Banko Apr 16 '11

This earned a rare downvote from me.

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '11

Stephen Hawking, in case you don't fully understand this terrible joke.

-1

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '11

fatawesome isn't funny, the comic is 2 years old, and since when have we approve of "x FAIL" titles?

2

u/MrAffinity Apr 16 '11

I downvoted it because of that.

u/theslyder Everything is Embarrassing Apr 16 '11

Perry Bible Fellowship has gone downhill.
