How to Deal With Things You Hate for No Reason [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 How To Ruin Your Childhood Memories and How to Tell a Scary Story.








Second guy in the comic strip is pretty loathsome.
ReplyInteresting, an ad for Rihanna at the bottom of the page. I hate her, but for her s****y music.
ReplyWhere do watermelons go on holiday?
ReplyI like how androgynous the long-haired person is.
Reply Hide All See All 3 RepliesYeah, what the hell? I stared at her (his?) tits for 3 friggin' minutes!
Long-haired? LONG Haired?
Just 'Haired' is more appropriate I think.
I assumed it was a woman but now I'm not sure anymore...
Hahaha, those little things make me rage.
ReplyThe big guy looks like one of my ex's o.O like, EXACTLY like him, down to hairstyle, glasses and everything >:O

Oh. That's a guy?
No, it's a woman.
It is either an unfortunate woman, or the most unfortunate man ever.
love these comics, i'd imagine it's a million times harder trying to consistently think of something funny and then putting it in 4 boxes
ReplyThen go to his site. He puts out three a week.
I thought this was hilarious, it must be too subtle for the negative commenters to understand, so it confuses and angers them
ReplyFor me, many of these are chuckle-worthy but not much more then that. But even the ones that I don't find funny at all doesn't seem to get me in a frothy rage like these other commentators. Maybe its a genetic thing?
Exactly!
Because, a negative comment doesn't reflect the readers opinion at all, just how much they understood what they read, does it?
this post is not a generic internet ad and I am not a bot.
ReplyCourse you are.
Your certification is in the mail.
Somebody said, "Life ain't a b**ch, life is a beautiful woman. You just call her a b**ch because she don't give you that pu**y. maybe you're just an a**hole. . ." who can give me answer that why there are full of fuc*ing s**t a**holes on POZ-Dating[.]Com ?

What the f**king s**t?
Do you want us to go to POZ-Dating? Because so far all I know about it is that it is full of f**king s**t a*****es.
Yeah. That's a really weird spam technique you've got going.
Reverse psychology?

Aesop Rock :D
Still, you're annoying.

But he only changed his name because the people making him famous forced him to, he changed it back as soon as he had enough fame and money to fire said people.
Replythis was funny. they always run the range of mildly amusing to pretty funny, but i think this is my favorite one so far.
ReplyThey were getting good, and then this one happened. Swing and a miss bud
ReplyYou spelled "Hahaha another classic!" wrong.
Distilled Pwnage?
Is it just me or does it seem like these comics get s**ttier every week
ReplyIf it's so bad you can't simply ignore them when you find them consistently bad, you need to send an email to someone who can do something about it rather than posting yet another comment of your disdain which does absolutely nothing.
I must have super-human sight, because I saw the "I can't stand the phrase pet peeves" gag coming from at least a mile away. Other than that, it was alright.
ReplyYou mean the gag in the second line of the comic? That's some incredible foresight. I bet you could, like, predict what color traffic lights will turn next.
All these people who waste their time posting how much they hate this comic and the creator of it has no idea that they even exist.
ReplyWait a minute... I see what you did there. That's pretty 'meta'.
nice one.
Excellently done.
You know... Fort Wayne, IN is the second largest city in the state. I don't think he took that into account when he wrote that song...
ReplyThe last panel made me chuckle.
Reply"I don't find that funny"
Reply Hide All See All 3 RepliesReplace the word "that" with "this" and it's almost as though I'm projecting my thoughts directly into this horrible comic strip via some form of internet psychokinesis. Amazing!
yeah! up to the thing where you're paying too much attention to something you don't like at all!
Two things you spent way too much time on:
1. Internet Psychokinesis
2. That joke
Oh good one! Here's another one: change "John Mellencamp" to "Scott Meyer" and it describes your case perfectly!
