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

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.

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

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.

... 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.

Tom Guycott really taking the JLB8 here....

Well, if there's grass on the field... invite Brockmire and make a game of it, or some shit.

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

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.

Tell me more about the 8 year olds who are DTF.

Damn...... things getting pretty heavy in the latest update......

(Just go to the website, this thread way behind now)

I was following it via thread so i guess ill never know

God this has just been amazing.

Those last few strips are heartbreaking. Bruce saying "no..." has shattered me

sweet. I love this it is so adorable.

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

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"

Christ this strip tugs at my heart

Man that was great. Even the ending. Seriously this needs to be like...officially acknowledged by DC cause it's so good.

I really want a Marvel spinoff. Those designs were good.
