Whoa, competing Friday Funnies!
This one wins.

This one wins.

Damning with faint praise.

|10.31.08 @ 8:52AM|#

So very, very weak.

Alternate caption...

"Who is John Galt? You're looking at him, bitches."

Wow, this definitely wins over the other cartoon. At least it makes some sort of sense, sorta... but it's not really a cartoon.

Speaking of AFLAC (in the cartoon thread that now no longer exists), I find it instructive that insurance companies have to turn to ducks, geckos, and cavemen to hawk their products. Apparently, no member of Homo sapiens sapiens is shameless enough to do so.

Thank you for taking down the racist and incendiary ACORN duck cartoon.I hoped you would change it.We don't need the divisive politics of the past.We need fair minds and fair markets.

As I said on the other one which is now 404d, it's like he split his sense of humor between the two.

|10.31.08 @ 9:17AM|#

I stand corrected. No member of Homo sapiens sapiens except for Reinmoose, then.

Meh, probably the best Bok in a long while, but misses the point. Two greatest mysteries of the Bush years:

What lever did they press to get Colin Powell toe the WMD line?

What possessed Greenspan to toe the deregulation line?

|10.31.08 @ 9:51AM|#

+1 to Warren for the proper use of "toe the line."

|10.31.08 @ 10:02AM|#

"Since when do you pay to stay in a hospital?"

What is this a socialist country?!Some kind of communist dictatorship?!

"Oh, it's pretty complicated. The mail goes into three sections according to how important I think the thing looks, OK? Now, the least important stuff, I'm gonna burn that. If it's important, they're gonna send it again, right? The middle important stuff, I put that back in the mail addressed to me, so I buy myself a couple more days. And the most important stuff, that gets delivered, although, you know something, Mac? I actually burn that, too, most of the time."

Now Epi, I'm concerned.
There must be a site with a transcript that you're using, because I certainly can't remember things that exactly from watching it once, and I can't find a website with quotes on it the day after an episode first airs.
What's your secret?

|10.31.08 @ 10:24AM|#

I have my sources, moose. Realize that I share this for the purposes of more detailed and accurate Always Sunny quoting.

The motherload!!!

However, they are missing the wonderful exchange that I paraphrased above, so it's not that complete... yet

|10.31.08 @ 10:37AM|#

The motherload!!!

Indeed. They have way more than any other source, including wikiquote and imdb.

|10.31.08 @ 10:58AM|#

The other cartoon must have really, really, really sucked.

|10.31.08 @ 11:02AM|#

What other cartoon? I deny such a thing ever existed.

|10.31.08 @ 11:05AM|#

The other cartoon must have really, really, really sucked.

Agreed. On the Electrolux scale of suckitude this one is a 9.something.

Are you guys sure it's not "tow the lion"?

|10.31.08 @ 11:10AM|#

It's "ho be lyin'."

rap|10.31.08 @ 11:38AM|#

It's "motherlode"

the innominate one|10.31.08 @ 2:33PM|#

this is still better

I don't get either one; but this one doesn't have a barnyard animal in it, so it loses.
