How to Tell If She's Into You Or High On Cough Syrup [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.
Even the scent of cherry flavored cough syrup makes me cringe now. Damn those college benders!
ReplyAnybody else notice how the whole "how to tell if she's into you" portion of the postings title on Cracked doesn't really match up to the actual title of the comic or its content?
ReplyYeah.
I WAS NOT AMUSED BY THIS COMIC. I DEMAND BETTER CONTENT PROVIDED TO ME FOR FREE SO I CAN READ IT AND THEN b***h ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH NO ONE MADE ME READ IT OR EVEN CARES WHAT I THINK.
ReplyGOD YOU GUYS.

ReplyThis isn't funny.
ReplyYay, a woman! Who is funny even when high on cough syrup! I approve.

Vicks Nyquil - the nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, gagging, aching , stuffy head, fever so you can rest and not have a regretful morning medicine!
Nyquil - The nighttime, sniffling sneezing, coughing, why the hell is the room spinning, medicine.
Nyquil - The sleep will be the last thing on your mind, medicine.
The nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, how-did-I-end-up-on-the-kitchen-floor medicine.
Nyquil, the nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, incoherent morning physics class medicine.
One of the better ones. Good job!
ReplyBooooooo.
ReplyLord, no!
ReplyDopey? Who still uses dopey in regular conversation these days?
Reply Hide All See All 8 RepliesScott Meyer is a class act
I use "shenanigans!" on almost a daily base.
Balderdash! Who doesn't still use dopey in regular conversation, dopey? What a bunch of malarkey. You c**kamamie flibbertigibbet.
Dopey is a perfectly cromulent word to use in regular conversation
Use of the word "dopey" embiggens even the smallest spirit.
f**k, i used the phrase, "i call shenanigans," like half an hour ago and my boyfriend mocked me. i am so glad i can show him your comment, DrNemmo. THERE ARE MORE LIKE US.

Philip Fry, I believe you're in the wrong Groening series.
OK, we need to just create a poll; all those who generally like BI and all those who generally dislike BI. Then we can rightfully mock all those who oppose us.
ReplyWhichever side that is, eh? Wait - that's what goes on every time anyway without the poll! Or you could even say the comment section IS the poll!
90 comments so far and that's after they reposted it just 4 days later?? Damn. I find them interesting and fun most of the time...
That is why I included the 'generally'. I am often amused by BI but sometimes I can be bemused.
It seems some folks just b***h for the sake of b***hing.
Over-the-counter cough syrup is a lot harder to get high off of these days.
ReplyThat said, the prescription stuff - even in the recommended dose - can really knock you off your feet. Marching band competition + pneumonia = hilarious day.
Weird. I have the opposite effect. Well, not exactly, I have to have at least double of the OTC and an empty/empty-ish stomach.
Except that time I had strep and was on 800mg ibuprofen and some steiroid. They gave me antibiotics too, but that was not where the sweetness was. And since I could barely eat, I was high as a kite and told the people at work about it, cuz what could they do. I was sick and was prescribed it by a for realsies doctor. Hahahaha.
Stay away from drugs, kids.
SWIM drank 2 4 oz bottles of max strength robitussin and then proceded to trip the f**k out (unable to talk coherently) for the next eight hours. Drugs are bad mmkay.
I used to know a guy who drank a whole bottle of cough syrup once. It was hilarious, but I think he wasn't really high, he just convinced himself he was (placebo effect).
Reply Hide All See All 3 Replies90% of cough syrups today use a chemical called dextromaphan as the active ingridient to supress coughs. This chemical is a disasosiative not unsimilar to PCP and Ketamine, If he drank a hole bottle, I'm almost certain that guy was not faking. He must have been f/u/c/ ked out of his damn mind.
How do I know this? I work at a pharmacy where I see the same people buying cough syrup every week.
no, seriously, cough syrup is probably the most tripped out you can get legally. (i say "probably" because of salvia and gravol.) ain't nothing like lying immobile in bed while black flowers bloom on your ceiling and ghostlike people scream at you in languages that don't exist.
yes. drugs are bad.
diebodie... are you sure you don't mean dextromethorphan?
do you really work at a pharmacy?
The entire strip should have just been the girl walking around veeeeery carefully with stiff, robot-like movements
ReplyThis was alright till I got to "effected" . . .
ReplyThis comment was alright until i got to "till"...
You sir, are a douchebag.
you sir are a douchebag for pointing that out and for improperly using the word douchebag.
I hate you Scott Meyer.
ReplyOK, I give up. What's the opposite of Dopey?

Erection?
Well in some cases that was when Snow White showed up, but in other cases it was... yes, see there, the OPPOSITE!
If someone is so high on cough syrup they could be described as "dopey", they're not taking it because they are sick. Either that or they don't read the warning label first; either way, they are dumb.
Reply Hide All See All 6 RepliesBecause using cough/cold medicine and having it affect you is dumb, right?
No, because taking so much cold medicine that you get literally high on it is dumb. The only dumber thing in the world is you needing that joke to you.
Or someone who says "you needing that joke to you" would be pretty dumb as well. Don't think anybody could be that stupid though
it was more of a statement rather then a joke, just saying.
I was and dumb because joke and get didn't, affectively.
Did I what get some right is yes??
