I don't get all the hate for Basic Instructions! I looked through their site and found some great stuff. Not laugh out funny but still witty and entertaining.
It's kind of an unspoken tradition among the douches. Any comic on cracked is garbage, and therefore, should be made fun of.
It doesn't help that a lot of them were garbage. This one, however, isn't one of them. Good job.
It's just that many of the readers on here seem to read other, better webcomics, and we come here to laugh. when we coukd get that elsewhere more consistantly, why would we not voice our displeasures? (Disclaimer: I am ONLY talking about the comics here)
Of course, in this particular instance, this comic happened to be somewhat funny, so good job on that.
I like Basic Instructions. It's not laugh out lout funny, but well written.
Of course there are better ones out there. There always is. But that doesn't make this one any worse. Though that is a concept most flamers will never get... ;D
I like BI well enough. I only knew it existed after Scott Adams said something about it in the Dilbert blog. I also don't quite get why we wouldn't just go read these comics at their own sites instead of on here, but it is a way to get them more exposure.

Summer is over,you big dumb unintelligent piece of f**ktard.
1. spambots don't read your replies
2. cracked is an american website, in north america august is summer
This comic seems to be improving ever so slightly... stiiiiiiiillllll......
My s**t is funnier than this. Ha! Corn!
He's right, his s**t is pretty damned funny.
I liked the third panel.
Same here.
There third panel is the only funny one, not LOL funny but amusing enough that it explains why I have three friend requests that I dont want to click accept or decline on.
fgsfgds
not bad, but i understand why people think it is slightly below cracked's normally sky high standards. not laugh out loud funny.
I'm not sure why I understand all the hate-ons for this strip. I find it clever and if I didn't I would shrug and move on. I certainly wouldn't waste my time displaying my ignorance in such a blatant manner. If you don't 'get it' then it's not the writer's fault...it's just a little over your heads.
+1
I was going to write my own reply but you've covered it.
Ditto.
I ditto that ditto.
I ditto that ditto of that ditto.
I choose Pikachu!
wow... why are people giving him advice for the comic.. he has ALREADY made it as a comic-strip writer, and I'm pretty sure this one is old, he is extremly popular =\
You can always improve, no matter how popular you are. Refusal from the artist to accept advice because they "made it already" is a staplemark of several bad webcomics out there.
@Baldseal: Staplemark is not a word. Perhaps just 'staple' or maybe 'hallmark', but staplemark is not correct. Also, "you can always improve" is also incorrect. If you're the best at the best at something and no one can ever be better- than how are you to improve? Don't answer that- you suck.
TheManPanda, the hypothetical situation you created isn't very convincing. Since Baldseal is no longer six years old, he understands that it is impossible to do something in such a way that "no one [including one's self] can ever be better."
Just in a quick response to everyone offering advice on the comic: this was done a year or so ago by Scott Adams, the writer of Dilbert. He put BI up on his blog for weeks and fielded suggestions, got SM to do some in the suggested styles, etc. Didn't really work. The wordiness is pretty much there to stay.
Scott Adams needs his throat slit. Not literally- just sayin'.
Trololololol
Heh heh, the reason people are hating on this comic is because it has to do with a social life and a connection to the net. Guess which one they have. Not super halarious but I had a good chuckle.
who ever makes this comic should make one that's titled "how to spot s**tty comics on a comedy website"
Here's a tip, don't use so much goddamn words. The longer the set-up takes the more unfunny the punch line is going to be. In your case it was unfunny to begin with so work on that too.
Dead on.
A s**tty premise isn't gunna improve, and it ain't gunna get any better by polishing said turd.
At least these comics are improving. I actually smirked a little.
"don't use so much goddamn words."
You are a f**ktard of the highest order. So high that optical equipment is needed for normal f**ktards to even see the edge of the 3-mile f**ktard belt around you.
hmmm... humor-ish. all you really need to do is make the set-ups a little shorter and the punchlines funny and you'd have a comic.
LOL. I was with it until the last panel, then it just felt like it panicked and gave up.
whats with the bald freak being in every one of these somewhat humorous comics.
That's the author's caricature of himself.
Ah, the joy of being able to tell someone, "I haven't accepted your friends request because I don't know/don't like you."
Like being "friends" with someone on Facebook means anything.
@Feuer_Frei, yeah, it does to people who only friend people they know in real life, as many people choose to do

An attractive woman in her 30's or 40's who is on the hunt once again. She may be found in the usual hunting grounds: nightclubs, bars, beaches, etc. She will not play the usual B.S. games that women in their early twenties participate in. End state, she will be going for the kill, just like you. Associated with milfs...
30's OR 40's? She's not telling.
She's f**king 52 you liar. She's got grandchildren already. Go away! She'll kill you for your life insurance policy!
ZZzzzZZZzzzZZZzzzz. these are f**king boring. quit making them front page
Please stop. There's so much great content on cracked, please don't keep using these.
Agreed. They have tons of lobster in their fridge and they insist on eating reheated dog poo.
