Geek humour

I refuse to read that due to the fonts.

That was horrible and shows that you don't understand humor.

From xkcd's wikipedia page:

xkcd has been recognized at the Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards. In the 2008 Awards, it was nominated for "Outstanding Use of the Medium," "Outstanding Short Form Comic," and "Outstanding Comedic Comic," and won "Outstanding Single Panel Comic."[78] xkcd was also voted Best Comic Strip by readers in the 2007 Weblog Awards[79] and 2008 Weblog Awards.[80] It was also nominated for a 2009 NewNowNext Award in the category 'OMFG Internet Award'.[81][82]

From xkcd's wikipedia page:

ie- awards from douchebag hipsters who think they're smart because they 'laugh' at XKCD.

[Al B. Sure!]

Yes because this comic strip is so great and hilarious:



Oh so high-brow and intelligent! These peons just don't understand REAL humor! They're not smart enough!

[giblets]

~95% of xkcd strips are not funny, but I really don't see any reason to ***** about it.

Presumably you have things that are distracting you from the scourge of web comics, e.g. a career.

It is

And this is about how much more intelligent than the movie Jackass?

How many jokes about recursion were in Jackass?

Did YOU understand it? It might be a little too advanced for you. Maybe you prefer stick-figures rubbing magic lamps and making them ***?

It's a reference to Averroes' Search by Borges. I know, so advanced you must not know about it.

You didn't get it. What a terrific example.

[Cort Haus]

It's about finding **** funny that just aint funny.

And who is the Grand Arbiter of humour?

Oh, it's you, isn't it. See also Grand Arbiter of Music, Grand Arbiter of Women, Grand Arbiter of Culture, Grand Arbiter of worthwhile careers etc ad nauseam.

You have no concept of personal taste, opinion or context, no understanding of what makes people, cultures, countries, or even cities different.

You live in a tiny bubble of limited experience, revelling in your own ignorance, contented it has to be said, yet contemptuous of everyone and everything outside your bubble of comprehension.

Will you never see the difference between

"X has no value to me"

and

"X has no value"

?

Really? Let's act like it's not just a shallow penis metaphor. Let's pretend like it's so much more advanced and clever

Umm... if you paid attention, you would have noted that I expressed disgust with that one strip and it was Imran (and others) who started claiming I was an ignorant dumbass who either doesn't get it because I'm stupid or I have no sense of humor. It was Imran (and others), NOT I, who made absolutist claims as to what humor is first.

[Al B. Sure!]

Ah! These peons! They're not familiar with Borges so comedy is like Greek to them! Har har.

Al B. Sure!'s comics are so hilarious and clever. You all just don't get it. It's a shame really. Go back to your Dane Cook and XKCD, simpletons.

Maybe a magic lamp/penis comic strip is more up to your speed.
