This cartoon is a better illustration of the Friday Funnies than it is of what it purports to be.
-
If you drop acid and stare at it for 20 min., the meaning will become very very clear.
-
Weak!
-
boo. D+ reversion to the mean...
-
Come on guys. It's still better than Marmaduke, so I give it a passing grade. (Although it's hard to imagine what would fail that standard: I'm defining dumb down.)
-
It's funnier without the caption.
D- -
The driver should have a name tag that says, "Unions".
-
My Friday Funny was watching Jon Stewart tear Jim Cramer a new one last night.
-
Untermensch, cancer and AIDS both suck. Which one gets the passing grade?
-
My Friday Funny was Syracuse beating UConn in 6 OT's, game took so long it ended on Friday.
-
All of the Friday Funnies comments are always the same. Now that's funny!
-
Hmmm...not bad, really. And as Untermensch points out way funnier than Marmaduke. And as a corollary* to what Bingo said, like this thread, Marmaduke is an exercise in dreadful repetition.
*mathematicians, please don't kill me. I'm trying. -

Anything that fails the Marmaduke standard is technically a war crime.

Coming from a soldier in a war zone, that's...harsh. -
Haiku day today
Show me what you got, bitches!
Sorry, off topic -
There is no topic
More important, more vital
Than Friday haiku -
Anything that fails the Marmaduke standard is technically a war crime.
Best description of Cathy I've ever heard. -
Oh Cathy Guisewite
Why do you hate me so much
You are comic whore -
Statement is half true:
It is actually Friday.
Funny? Not so much. -
Marmaduke sucks ass
But, sadly, Friday Funnies
Fail to be better -
You don't understand
Marmaduke is big red dog
Do you get it now? -
Marmaduke, i heard
So much coke in the 80s
His nipple fell off
(thanks, Achewood.) -
You have it wrong, dude
Clifford is the big and red
That dog must poop huge -
Fat Cathy: "AACK, AACK!"
"The bikini is too small!"
Irving: "Lose weight, sow." -
Dog guano exports
Major economic deal
In Clifford's hometown -
Clifford, Marmaduke
These things are best left to suits
in Washington, dude -
Homer Simpson shocked
Cathy is woman, he asks?
To be honest, who knows? -
Lecherous Pinkley
Cathy's atrocious boss
The only one I like -
giant piles of shit
the sound of GM dying
no boo hoo from me -
Cathy? A woman?
Could have fooled me... Women should
not be shaped like tubes -
Cathy Guisewite sucks
Got Emmy in '87
Is Emmy worthless? -
naughty marmaduke
cathy gets some puppy love
go marmaduke go -
What's really funny is how right-wing market fundies cling to the same old bromides no matter what happents in the real world.
-
Lefiti is cool
I want to be just like him
But my hands chafe fast -
Nancy Pelosi
Plays Harry Reid of
Barack Obama -
Shorter Lefiti:
"Pay attention to me, waahhh!"
What a fucking douche. -
Haiku writing fools
ignore the master calling
the days grow longer -
Way to bash our fun,
Domoarrigato, with
Lines cribbed from Japan -
Sorry to tell you
That the date for Haiku Day
Was In December. -
This has to be done:
Uh, Domo arrigato,
Mister Roboto -
Sorry to tell you
That the date for Haiku Day
Was In December. -
re: PBrooks @ 9:44
Now that's funny. Or am I just sick? -
Haha, he's all bloody.
-
Whatever, crimethink
I am libertarian
I do what i want -
Libs wear Santa garb
With July sun beating down?
That would be silly -
eye of beholder
that is where the sickness lies
my hands remain clean -
crimethink says the time
for haiku has passed but knows
it will come again -
Every day can be
Haiku Day, if you open your
heart to it, crimethink -
Am I the only one that got a good chuckle out of this one? Wow...I thought it was rather entertaining...not the best but definately one that was dead on...
-
Cindhi, hating the
Funnies makes us forget how
much we hate ourselves. -
The Friday Funny
it doesn't make any sense
big fucking surprise -
Hey Cindhi, see,
All commentary should be
In haiku format -
Cindhi has ruined
Our haiku day with laughter
Now we hate on her -
bonus points are had
for alluding to seasons
as all haiku do -
Pedantic domo:
"Silly gaijin, not like that!"
Dude, it's Friday, chill. -
Haiku are more fun
when rules are followed my friend
I am white as snow -
obey rules he sez
how unlibertarian
go sit in corner -
SugarFree isn't it
More fun to
discuss and disect? -
Episiarch really?
Shove it deep
My lovely commentator. -
A cold, cold winter
has hardened my heart, Cindhi
now I wear only black -
Oh we can only
Comment in Haiku format?
My prose is wayward. -
Episiarch's never
really very "really," Cindhi
black velvet clown tears -
Cindhi, your meter
is wrong; it's five-seven-five
I just shoved it deep? -
blushing maid Cindhi
invites a chilly response
from her secret crush -
Haikus are pointless
Electrical Generator
too long for last line -
tarran, five eight five?
No rule can contain you, man
Watch out for domo -

Haiku are more fun
when rules are followed my friend
I am white as snow"
A Winner! -
I have no idea why it did that.
-
Loa Tzu, goddamn
SugarFreed a cut 'n' paste
How does that happen? -
I take credit for
bad links, but cut n' paste is
not my bailiwick -
I do like me some haiku
unfortunatly
my counting is dyslexic -
My gleeful heart flys
As I lovingly and ternderly
Tell "Ep" to shove it! -
Can we still call it
joe'z law of the internets?
Don't summon him now. -
Lao Tzu's trickery
masterful intertube ploy
how does he do it -
What the fuck Lao Tzu?
Cindhi you wound me dearly
You shoved so very hard -
Sweet SugerFree, I
Will do my best to humor
The gaiety here on -
Ah, but SugarFree
Memetic evolution!
"Lao Tzued," not as fun -
Xeones, but "Laoed" or
"Lao'd!" has its subtle charms, right?
Let the crowd decide. -
Wounded Episiarch
Wouldn't deservingly so,
But call a gentle truce -
Friday Funnies suck.
In other news, babies are
Reportedly cute. -
Cindhi's desire to
Violate Epi's anus
Is hilarious -
If only gentle
Had been your approach Cindhi
My ass wouldn't hurt -
Just face it Epi
You actually like Cindhi's
violation, whore -
you think ass hurts now
bipartisanship will come
much more pain for all -
Sex and violence
Have no place in Haiku, friends
Instead welcome spring -
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck -
Lao Tzu's point was that
this has all happened before,
will happen again. -
Unloved Lefiti.
Overinflated ego.
That's embarrassing. -
Matt Welch was so wrong
In his tweet the other day.
This thread is the wins. -
Barack Obama
The Negro has gone quite mad
"Hope" is shit on bread -
My new Reason vow:
No more profanities here;
Ah, fuck that cunt shit -
I drink way too much
Then I come to haiku thread
and compose haiku -
Friday Funnies scrawl
Worth one hundred responses?
Ha! Haiku fun time. -
Like an oak in a fantasy.
The yellow
sand appears
in my mind
with a rumbling
and delicate
look; you call
me near a
sylvan hedge,
and everything
shines like a
taciturn wind.
Francesco Sinibaldi -
is good

good
