How to Deal With Someone With Inflated Self Esteem [COMIC]

Basic Instructions is a twice weekly updating web comic that offers absurd advice on how to live your life. Some of those updates will be happening here on Cracked.
Previously Scott has taught us Why Conspiracy Theories Always Win and provided A Guide to Encountering Douchebags in the Wild.








I enjoy these. I don't understand why so many people would click the link when they know they don't like these. it's not like this is the first one, and it's not like it's required reading.

Splint: the logo isn't enough of a tip-off for you?

Also called: strip cartoon a sequence of drawings in a newspaper, magazine, etc, relating a humorous story or an adventure.
The key word there being humorous.
"Or an adventure". I don't know about you, but I felt like I was on a rollicking journey of passion and emotion.

a male appendage that one f**ks with ones face.
The key words there being "f**k" and "face".
I'm not one to complain, but these comics have been consistently bad since their inception. Seriously.

I'll need an address, then. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love getting my dick sucked.
Then... stop... reading them?
I'm not one to complain, but complain complain complain complain.
One l, two ts. Seriously, that one is f**king painful.
The last panel contained teh funniez.
Replythis. is. not. funny. please, stop.
ReplyThis is funny, actually; if you disagree, go elsewhere. Or at least learn how to use punctuation and sentence structure.
hey crazy idea, just crazy. but if you dont like it, dont bad mouth it an ruin for the rest of us, just dotn read it, your not going to change anything wiht your impotent attempts at being clever when your really just being a raging douche.

ReplyI'd like to see a "How to deal with comics that are not funny" one of these
ReplyWhat sizzling wit!
Nah, it's too easy- "Don't click the link to the page with the comic you don't like" isn't much of a joke.
But maybe they could do one about people who generate web traffic to complain about comics they don't like, thereby ensuring that the comics will continue to be posted.
I always hate these, and I stopped reading this one after a few weeks of painfully unfunny comics, but the second panel wasn't half bad. Maybe this guy can build off of that and make a joke without killing it in the same panel someday. Let's coddle the little retard in the meantime (like some of us already do with Cody).

Bond. James Bond-fire.
You stopped reading it? Then why are you here commenting on it?

Is websitting anything like babysitting? My husband and I are going to a play next weekend and we could use someone to keep an eye on our web for us.

lol someone likes to rage. i have a solution-don't read the comic!
Clearly a troll.
Correction: A troll with a hairy anus. (Bad visual, bad visual, must vaporize eyes!)
That was dumb.
ReplyI'd rather date the loser than that pretentious dirtbag.
ReplyThese comics are riculously unfunny. The second panel went in the right direction, and would have been kind off amusing hadn't it been closed of with "and in a sense it is".
these suck so hard. the guy who makes them should just stop.
ReplyOr, rather, you should just stop reading them. Why waste five minutes of your life every time these come out if you know you don't like them? How's that for sucking hard at life and intelligence and sound decision-making.
Need a female version, as women would never listen this long, esp. my relatives who have "found the Lord!!!" and constantly remind me that I WILL- they KNOW THIS- I will be surprised when that sarcastic mouth of mine ends up being my only comfort in HELL!! (I know, they're too self-approving to get it)
ReplyThose are the types of Christians I can't stand. You can even tell them that if you want. Jesus had a smart mouth, too. Read the bible! None of those parables make any sense. You just know he was thinking to himself, "All right guys, figure that out for a while. I'm going to transform more water into wine."
I know the internet is cheaper than therapy but this is just kind of sad.
I think this actually happened to Scott Meyer... yesterday.
ReplyDefinitely stand-out. I'm liking this more and more.
ReplyI smiled :)
ReplyI'd say that I like this, but I, like everyone else, am too filled with blind hatred to change my opinions about thing. So, I'm raging so hard at this.
