Anyone familiar with existential comics? It’s basically a funny surface level look at some of the better and lesser known philosophers. I know it’s not a substitute for actually reading them but I think it’s a fun way to get a rough idea of what they had to say.

Its not even that.
it doesn't look all that great.
How was Diogenes a commie? Why does Abe even care about communism? What the fuck? Is it just "so randum xD"
Just skimmed through the site. Honestly the worst thing I've seen all month.
I've read most of them. I find them slightly amusing to really funny.
Try this: Don't take it seriously. It's cheap jokes about philosophers and philosophy. Maybe the sense of humor doesn't appeal to you. I wouldn't characterize it as "smart" at all aside from the subject matter being what it is.
how does humor so bad even happen
I'm not exactly sure if I laughed just now or some sort of djinn of disgust was released from my air sacs.
Is this like a school project or something?
this one made me laugh
Only good one in this thread desu
They can be funny, but it's the same joke in every one.
>funny
sceptics btfo
The guy running that website is such an unfunny knee-jerk faggot.

>I made a funny bcuz commies bad nd existentialism teenage, heehee
This is literally that guy's schtick.
They are very rarely funny and a lot are extremely overlong and convoluted for the sake of some surface level joke or a pun. Bazinga style.
Super Mega is where it's at.
Every fucking time
Yes, super mega and jerkcity are the only funny webcomics
This one was funny.
Some of them are good
This one's my favourite
That is coz it the latest. Everybody else is posting the earlier ones which it is unfair desu
existential comics are pseuds and their humor is for pseuds
t. pseud
this is like xkcd for humanities cucks. not funny, just supposed to feel smug because you got the "joke".
hehe le uberman amirite? loooooool
this tbdesu
>tfw you are losing your sides reading these comics but you have no one irl to share them with to laugh together because no one you know reads philosophy and won't understand what's funny and will just look at you like you're a lunatic
But there's nothing hard to get or feel smug about in xkcd.
I don't even read philosophy and I got the joke
I think you're both overthinking it and being a hipsterfaggot
Dinosaur Comics is better and more philosophical
>there's nothing hard to get
yeah
>or feel smug about
well
xkcd.com
here's the latest comic
what emotion would you say this expresses?
he is right with new gens those new pokeymans are way too smart and powerful
this would be infinitely better if you cut everything except the first two panels and got rid of the third speech bubble too
haha 1 good hearty kek 4 ur boy existentialcomics what an intellectualy humorous fellow
I honestly see no way to improve xkcd because if you made an attempt to make it genuinely good you'd have to throw out almost every reason people read it
it reminds me of a simpler age of the internet where it was populated by teens and they were trying to one up each other all day every day but maybe that's only because that's what I was like when I thought xkcd was good lmao
It's pretty much as straightforward a joke as it gets. A shitty one, but I don't seen anything smug about it.
>"reminds me of a simpler time with teenagers"
>no punctuation sentences ending with lmao
>implying you're not a literal 15 year old
...
these are great but only in small doses
it's smug against the general layman that gets excited about click bait science articles.
>dude you need DATA for science lmao
More like bugman comics
It's good sometimes.
...
So anything that's not tailored to lowest common denominator layman is smug? Is all niche humor smug by definition?

Holy hell I feel embarrassed reading this
Dinosaur Comics is art
dead philosophers in heaven is funny sometimes desu
The dude's twitter account reveals that he is a whiny marxist soyboy.
Case in point: twitter.com
Could have been a great attempt to bait some people into going "BUT THAT'S WHAT OUR PARTY STANDS FOR AND IS DOING RIGHT NOW".
Disregarded anyway, twitter, though (it seems atm) less of a dopamine factory than facebook, is only good for functioning as a RSS feed.
Speaking of odd philosophy...
The only comic of theirs that I like is the one about Wittgenstein urging Russell to touch his beetle. Shit's funny.
...
That's the same fucking design the cunt uses for the utility monster.
How original.
...
He's a communist though
Posting some of the better ones
...
...
I think they're fun for the most part. I like that he doesn't side with specific philosophers and tries to satirize them all
>Lol I get the joke therefore it's funny
I thought you where better than this Veeky Forums
/co
lol
These are amazing
SMBC took a nosedive ever seen he got the kid, though this one was nice
>tfw to smart for my peers
That's a Nu from Chrono Trigger.
I know but it's also his design for the utility monster.
It's not funny, but but it's a good critique of Hume's idiotic causal skepticism.
