I'm guessing #235 is going to be an homage to the Action Comics #1 cover

[Kalyx triaD]

I think a new strip went up.

[Shadow]

It did and we're totally on a way to a homage of Action Comics #1

JLB8

[Tom Guycott]

Is that necessary... like, every time?

It's like "Team RammRod! Team RammRod! Get it?! Team RammRod!"; jailbait. Yeah, because they're kids and also it is super close to the name. We get it.

[Lock Jaw]

I know it is supposed to be "jailbait", but every time I read it as "Jay Ell Bate", and didn't even get that is was supposed to be "jailbait" until the 170th time he posted it.

[The Rogerer]

We get it.I didn't think you didn't get it.

But you don't get it.

[Tom Guycott]

So, back to the original question; every time a new crop of this strip appears?

Is this your "A Pimp Named Slickback"?

"You say the entire thing. Yes, that includes the "A Pimp Named" part. Yes, every time."

I'm guilty of amusing myself with posting some unfunny shit myself. Just wondering if you're doing the same, or a reply out of habit, or if I'm giving you too much credit for thinking that is all.

[The Rogerer]

What is 'Team RammRod' and 'A Pimp Named Slickback'. What the fuck are you on about

[Kalyx triaD]

He's trying to figure what the point of posting it is when it's not funny and doesn't seem to stir anyone as a trolling tool. It's just... dead text.

[The Rogerer]

That's a real 'hey nonny nonny'. Quite the 'Count of Monte Cristo'.

[Kalyx triaD]

I guess.

[Tom Guycott]

What is 'Team RammRod' and 'A Pimp Named Slickback'. What the fuck are you on about

To answer your question, sequentially:

"Team RammRod" was a quote from the movie Super Troopers, in which one of the guys who tries too hard to be funny tries to foist several things undeniably unfunny onto the other officer he's riding with. One of which was trying to combine their names like a power couple and trying to sorta make a dick joke from it. It didn't work, but he kept saying it like the other guy didn't get it.

The comparison being that "JLB8" being posted everytime seems contextually forced. We can see what the joke is supposed to be, but... it isn't.

"A Pimp Named Slickback" is a character from The Boondocks television show. Via the quotes from my original quote, I noted how that is his given moniker. At some point, someone just refers to him as "Slickback", and he corrects them- noting that his name is to be said in its entirety like a proper name. "It's like A Tribe Called Quest, you say the whole thing!!!"

Comparison being that "JLB8" being posted everytime seems like an insisted compulsion you *need* to always do after more strips get posted... as if the thread is somehow incomplete without it.

And both comparisons feed into the part where I don't "get it". I understand what the joke is supposed to be (but again, not funny), but I don't get why the joke is supposed to be. If you're doing it to get a chuckle out of yourself, go for broke. If you're doing it because you legit think someone else finds it flat out humorous, you need help on your comedic craft.

He's trying to figure what the point of posting it is when it's not funny and doesn't seem to stir anyone as a trolling tool. It's just... dead text.

... or basically, this.

I just have less issue with writing somewhere between walls of text and Tolstoy novels because people act like paraphrasing and summation is still unclear.

The Goshdarn Batman: planting the seeds of being a billionaire playboy.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm pretty sure that turn and smile was a call back to Batman Forever after BatKilmer pretended to be devastated that Chase chose Bruce over him (which looking back is hilarious and brilliant).

It also dawns on me that the duel narratives are both Bruce and Clark on a date of sorts.

I like Flash's haircut, looks 'cool' imo

[Lock Jaw]

Wonder why he gave Barry Allen ginger colour Wally West hair..... Made me think for a second "wait a second, has Flash been Wally West the whole time in this series?" and had to do a double-take and go "No, wait, he just called himself Barry"
