What Not to Say After Delivering a Baby
Every Saturday we have some of our favorite sites from around the web fill in for us. They get to the opportunity to be insulted in the comment section and we get to relax. Today's post comes from the hilariously offensive Coloring Book Land a delightful comic site that your parents would hate you for viewing.

Well yea. I guess that would be something not to say. Or even think. Who wrote this anyways?
ReplyYou'll never see that caption in Family Circus. It's actually funny
ReplyCould be the next Hitler, why take the risk?
ReplyWHY FIND OUT
BOO TO THAT
I gotta agree with all the negative comments. This had no subtlety, no class, no build up, no punchline... I went to the site, it's just more of the same. Boo.
Reply Hide All See All 3 RepliesYeah, cuz there's some big rule of comedy and you're fuckin' Professor Joke or some shit?
The illustration was the build-up, and the caption was the punchline.
I agree with ChrisTurner. This joke was poorly delivered and not funny in the slightest. There was nothing witty about it.
The links changed now, you have to go to the domain.
ReplyI thought it was only me!
ReplyWoops, meant to say "Hot" she's not funny, but...I totally would...
ReplyI went to the website, a lot of it is just awkwardly worded attempts to be mindlessly offensive. At least Sarah Silverman is how when she acts like a mongoloid for shock laughs.
Replydc, your ten alternatives had me cracking up!! Twisting a babies head off can be funny, somehow (?), but I especially liked the "is that a kidney" one...well done sir.
ReplyTheGreenSaga, I have been a Cracked subscriber since I was 10 years old. That is almost 30 years. I used to carve Sylvester P. Smythe into every school desk I occupied. I was a fan before most of the writers here were probably even born .So when I see crap like this representing one of my favorite things ever , I don't have to give any "constructive criticism", I can merely say how much it sucks and they can do the math from there. This is so obviously not funny that I really don't think criticism is needed, but a swift kick in the balls of whatever dipshit thought it was good enough for Cracked.
ReplyActually yeah, those are better. Kudos
ReplyProps to dccarles. Your comment made this post worth reading and funny, despite the original artist's failure. Gold star to you!
Replyi think dccarles' version completely owns over this dumbass post
Reply"Holy shit! Look what I found in your fun hatch!"
ReplyI lurk in the shadows
ReplyWait... 925 Diggs? That can't be right.
ReplyTry looking at Superpoop or
ReplyMarried to the Sea for examples of how to do it well. The dialogue's a bit stilted, unnatural, and rather hard to read.
A better jok would have been something along the lines of "Alright, here's your baby, and the doctor will be with you shortly."
And, as TheGreenSaga said, if you can't be witty, be non sequitor. But don't do it to the point of stringing random words together, because that never works (i.e., Chef Brian of Ctrl+Alt+Del.) See Married to the Sea's "Meanwhile, Inside the Turtle's Mind" for an example of how to do it well.
So naturally, somebody posts a porn ad eight seconds before I hit the Submit Comment button.
ReplyFor Pete's sake, Green Saga. Now no one will ever dare to comment on anything again for fear that you're still out there somewhere.
ReplyI agree there's a difference between giving feedback and complaining, but does that mean feedback's okay by you as long as it's constructive? You aren't very clear on that, ramenkingroshi.
ReplyThe people who waste everyone's time with comments such as "FAIL" and "meh" are almost as insufferable as the terrible feature itself. But when people point out that this is possibly the worst thing Cracked has ever had on the site, and that it's unfunny third-grade humor, that's helpful no matter how harsh it is.
I think the funniest thing is reading someone's rant about negative comments... in the comments section.
Ramenkingroshi, you believe that giving feedback in comments is more favorable than complaining in comments, which is commendable. Then you explain the difference between feedback and complaints is that "Feedback is when you give advice in a non-condescending manner in an effort to help improve some areas of something." I agree.
So, in a classic case of lead-by-example, you
