I love Basic Instructions.
ReplyYeah making his pants the same color as his face was a bad idea...
Replyis he...not wearing pants? Cause if that's the case I'd like to know what store he goes to. Most places that I go kick me out if I show up without pants.
ReplyI thought the article on the side said "The 7 Most Ingenious (And Insane) Snuggling Techniques".
ReplyThen I became a fish, it was the best day ever
I cracked up at "do you stay married in this theory?"
ReplyI don't know why people get so angry about these, maybe it's because I don't know who Sally Forth is...
is the guy not wearing pants? o_O
ReplyHate the haters!
ReplyWhy is he not wearing any pants?
ReplyAlso, is every single member of this site a damn complainer? Answer: yes. (including me now)
ReplyI actually really enjoy these, but I have been a fan for a while.
ReplyI profoundly dislike these.
ReplyThis would be funnier if Cody had written it.
ReplyIt should be noted that this is the only possible situation for the above statement to be true.
...what? How is that funny? Where's the joke? I always thought I had a decent sense of humor, but what the f**k is this s**t? Could someone please spell it out for me and explain how this is supposed to be funny? I mean, this is still a humor website right? There is literally nothing funny in this comic.
ReplyOkay, okay. First, Scott. This is not your A-game at all. Post some reruns of classics. A lot would be better than this. How to Shake Hands, How to Creep Someone Out, How to Create "House Rules", not to mention anything from the Rocket Hat or Time Traveling series, or even the Human Joke. The majority of your most recent work would be better. It's almost as if this is your painstakingly calculated plot to put your least impressive comics up here, get people to hate you, then turn them on their asses with your more brilliant fare. Pardon me if this was the case.
ReplySecond, posters: check out Basic Instructions. Take a look around. Some of them are pretty great. I'm pretty sure there are a total of three here on Cracked, and they aren't the cream of the crop. It is painful to this unfolding from both sides and have no one in stabbing vicinity to blame.
Fuuck... I clicked on this accidentally. Basic Instructions suck, please don't count my click.
Reply Hide All See All 3 RepliesI went ahead and read it. Why the f**k did I do that? Now I'm depressed that someone actually found this Sally Forth ripoff funny enough to add to Cracked.
Seriously, look at it. It's Sally f**king Forth.
Holy s**t, it is!
I was going to say Everybody loves Raymond, except that Ray and Debrah are the only characters. Which means that the funniest characters are left out, leaving us only with Ray's cluelessness and Debrah's snarky comments. They border on funny, but often fall just short.
who is sally forth?
I think I have only read one of these comics that was slightly giggle-worthy. I have not read another one that makes me crack a smile since. If everyone dislikes them so much, why do they still keep putting them up?
ReplyI think the joke must be that he is not wearing pants. Why is that lesbian featured in almost every one of these comics?
Reply...Did you not read the "married" bit? Apparantly, some heterosexual women have short hair nowadays. These are crazy times indeed.
Perhaps his wife is a lesbian, thereby adding to the eccentric humor...?
Or maybe Scott Meyer married a lesbian, and his mediocre cartoons are a symptom of his soul slowly perishing in sexless agony.
Those comics are like politicals jokes, people think it's funny because it makes them look smart... f**k you Cracked, I just enjoyed 8 of your articles today but this just ruined my mood.
ReplyReally? You think people read this comic about shoe goo and pretend to laugh because it's high-brow humor? And you reading that comic actually RUINS YOUR MOOD?
sorry it doesn't have dickjokes, you c**k smoking dickc**ts. This is quality entertainment. Go back to smoking pot and molesting your sisters.
ReplyPerhaps, instead of commenting here, you should show this to the rest of your WoW guildmembers. I'm sure they're nerdy enough to find this funny.
I can't be offended by someone with the name DraconianKing. Its just too f**king lame.
Is there something slightly more harsh than "meh"?
ReplyEugh, perhaps.
May I suggest "*yawn*"? It gives the same indifference as "meh," but enhances the feeling of boredom without escalating into disgust or anger.
