How to Understand a Baffling Ad Campaign [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 Retroactively Ruin a Joke and How to Argue Like and American.
Is that leather?
ReplyThats Niiiiiiice
Did that last panel have a "Bernie and Phyl's" reference?
ReplyApparently the humor of this comic flies over the heads of some people here. This is actually funny. Just because you don't think something is funny doesn't mean other people don't like it. And don't assume that you have tons of people that agree with you. It's a simple fact that people are more likely to comment when angry than not, so the percentage of commentors that dislike the comic is greater than the percentage of actual readers who dislike it.
ReplyWhenever the power goes out it should go out at exactly 12 so you don't have to reset your clock.
Replystop saying that.
That's niiice.
ReplyFor the record I find these comics to be pretty great.
ReplyHuh, the sexual innuendo in the last 2 panels made me think this would be right up the alley of the average Cracked reader. I guess its not ALL about c**k-jokes and tits around here.
ReplyYeah, it's also about anal-insertion jokes.
This comic is bad and you should feel bad.

Maybe this comic really sucks and maybe I have a tragically warped sense of humor, but I thought it was great. Scott Meyer is the s**t.
ReplyAt least it's better than xkcd, in that it hasn't bad torrents of blood shoot out of my eyeballs yet.
ReplyHow bad are these torrents you speak of?
"in that it hasn't bad torrents of blood shoot out of my eyeballs yet"
... I don't... Uh... Is this even English?
God I hate this comic , The only reason I created a cracked account was to Post comments about how bad this comic is !!!

NO
Keep Meyer's cartoons, they are "coffee-safe".
I hate spraying scalding coffee out my nose
when I get caught by a surprise punchline.
so let me guess...someone is holding a gun to your head and making you click the comic and read it, or they'll shoot you? if not why do you come and read it?
They were actually holding a wet Trout and threatening to slap him across the face with it. Not quite as dramatic or devastating as a gun, but I'd still rather read a comic than be slapped by a fish. Unless, you know, it was a Fatawesome comic...
So sirinon, you would go ouT of youR way nOt onLy to read aLl the comIcs that you hate, but you eveN' take it further by making an account with the sole purpose of bashing them? Douche.
Ahhhhhh.... I see what you did there @negiWDJr
Complaining about these comics is pretty much the only reason any of us have a cracked account.
This is the first thing I read in the morning after
Replygetting out of bed.
I had enjoyed the last few of these... this one, however... -.-
ReplyI less than three you...
ReplyWin.
Horrible. Just a horribly unfunny comic.
ReplyAnd yet that makes it ironically funny because you just got trolled.
Dude, this isn't a Cody article, Scott doesn't try and be unfunny to troll people...
Still funnier than white ninja
Reply"Watch your parents struggle to drive me." made me chuckle.
