Man, that's happened to me so many times. Which DEFINITELY isn't funny. (Good one, Aidan.)

I didn't find this comic very funny.

It was, on the other hand, very true.

You're going to be away from the internet for a WEEK? You poor bastard. I hope you'll at least still be able to entertain yourself by torturing Rick.

Hope you go to a nice holiday location!

Aid like a bosss

what's outdated about o.henry?!?

Oh, Henry...

That still beats my Zod reference. "He's the Chancellor Valorum of Superman and the Godzilla of Gobots!"

So that's why #OHenry is trending on Twitter.

I totally got that joke, which means I'm really dating myself.

Of course, no one else is going to date me...

ba-dum-kssssh

O. Scott's fatal error lay in believing that gynoamericans have a sense of humor.

A funny joke about a joke that isn't funny. Well played.
Regarding being away for a week, may I make a sugestion? Leave the comments on and unmoderated. Let's see where it goes. You may not need to moderate the comments, or at the most set up one of those things that you have to confirm you're a real person.
Anyway, enjoy the time off (I hope it is time off and not something bad).

Voltron - awesome. But which one? Lion Force Voltron or Vehicle Voltron?

Can't stop staring at the rooster in frame 2.

Dude, I laughed at EVERY panel. Out. Loud.

Love it.

I didn't even know there WERE comments. I've been reading exclusively through RSS...

I think the three-week gap between now and when you sent that tweet stomped right past the limit on comedic timing, but I also didn't think I'd ever understand that tweet, so kudos on the surprise ending.

Loved the Voltron reference. Scott, you are the wind beneath my wings.

@Brad Of course Lion Force. Vehicle is terrible and everyone knows it.

@binstructions I have just found your twitter!

Well, I liked that joke... Applying snarky, internet-style absurdity to the literary canon is a comedy goldmine. But perhaps this is why not many people want to hear my Jane Eyre jokes.

Some of my best material is met by my wife's blankest states.

You mean the solution isn't to just keep telling the failed joke over and over to more and more people until someone finally realizes how funny it is? Hmm -- come to think of it, I don't get many invitations any more...

Khereva,
we think YOU"RE funny.

Fiercebadrabbit, I want to hear the Jane Eyre jokes.

I have a bad joke, it's about Thoreau.
Thoreau makes me want to throow up.

I actually liked the joke once I read the explanation that O. Henry writes surprise endings... I think it's the paradoxon that does it for me, having a surprise author make a sentence saying that there was no surprise, which made the end of the sentence surprising.

...ok, so I have tried to explain the joke. Boo me.

Well, I for one liked vehicle Voltron. And when I say "for one" I pretty much feel like the ONLY one on Earth who actually liked it.
