Just... Just look at it.

I had managed to forget it Lionel, how dare you man!

So judging by the thread, you fellas don't like Brawl in the Family? I think it's a pretty cool, warm webcomic, with more heart than the average and an enjoyable clean sense of humor. Not every comic is a homerun, but when it happens it hits the ball out of the park.

 

[rpmurphy]

I rest my case, that's not funny.

Do you find it not funny because you don't understand the topic at hand, because you don't find the topic to be amusing, or the because the delivery of the punchline does not hit a nerve?

I actually usually get a good chuckle out of Brawl in the Family. I like the art style too, it's simplistic but...cute, I guess? Seems to fit the subject matter, though.

Awkward Zombie is great, but let's not forget Rare Candy Treatment:

 

[Deified Data]

It's like adult Link's head on child Link's body. Who would actually share art this bad.

 

[Kyuur]

I'm not sure what the worst is (probably CAD or Penny Arcade), but I know my favorite hasn't been updated in years: http://rpgworldcomic.com/d/20000827.html

It was legitimately good.

Damn, I remember this! Fond memories.

 

[SaggyMonkey]

Do you even know what that strip is about?

Sure, but simply recognizing a reference doesn't make it humorous.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

I've never liked Castle Vidcons. Get it they have video game shit as heads? HAR HAR

And yet he conveys more emotion than most without need of eyes, mouth, or eyebrows.

 

[Persona7]

mother of god that CAD Link

 

[Drago]

Awkward Zombie is great, but let's not forget Rare Candy Treatment:

YES, my favorite Pokemon webcomic

We need a thread celebrating the best webcomics, its too easy to find and mock the bad ones :V

It presented a critical moment and a serious, grim subject with the same timing and tact as a punchline to a joke. It also didn't help that it wasn't a comic known for tackling serious life issues in its plot.

Plus the newspost Buckley wrote defending the comic from this exact criticism was pretty much "this happened to my exgirlfriend years ago, it was hard at first but now it's no big deal, you get over it"

 

[Mupod]

Also, I'm glad no one mentioned Shredded Moose. It deserves to be forgotten.

I remember a while back for some reason I tried to look it up and was pleased to see it had actually fallen off the internet. I hope nobody ever unearths and archives it.

 

[Starviper]

Just... Just look at it.

Dear god why.

 

[KittenMaster]

I've shared worse on NeoGAF. I recognize that my life is much worse for it though.

Wow.

 

[The Bankslammer]

Just... Just look at it.

it's even better/worse when you notice the date on it

 

[The Dear Leader]

The correct answer is all of them.

 

[Kazerei]

I feel like this could be vastly improved if the facial features were just scaled down so that Link had a proper forehead.

 

[Codeblue]

The juxtaposition between CAD and Awkward Zombie is amazing.

 

[Jotamide]

Just... Just look at it.

Oh boy this one takes the cake.

Spoiler

I'm sorry.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

NO STOP LIONEL STOP STOOOOOOOOP

Never.

Drink it in.

Edit: I just saw this one.

Time to GIDDY UP

This is literally hilarious.

 

[lord pie]

Well at least your money went to getting him the expensive supplies he needed to really demonstrate his artistic capabilities.

Sigh.. I used to really like CAD waaaay back. It was a fun strip to follow. Not sure what happened :-/

I think my favourite at the moment is virtual shackles. I appreciate the amount of effort they put into the comics, although they can sometimes be incredibly random;

 

[nailbombxx]

Why the long face Link?

But in all seriousness, this is absolutely terrible.

 

[RedNumberFive]

1. Sonichu
2. CAD
3. VG Cats
4. Penny Arcade

His house burned down. RIP Sonichu. ;_;

 

[Triggerhappytel]

There can only be one

Ha ha, seriously? I don't read Web comics, but is this shut generally representative of them? What a pile of soulless pretentious wank.

 

[Marjar]

Just... Just look at it.

Nyanners made it somewhat tolerable: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vtjyx7_ieTs

 

[BinaryPork2737]

I thought I recognized that comic from somewhere.

 

[Intheflorsh]

That's actually a parody of another (more pretentious) comic.

 

[Branduil]

Time to GIDDY UP

I feel like this is so bad that it actually became good.

 

[HUELEN10]

It's like adult Link's head on child Link's body. Who would actually share art this bad.

The sad part is, the guy can actually draw; I have seen him in person do so. He's just lazy.

 

[Mudkips]

CAD

 

[N4Us]

Way back when I lurked those YCS webcomic threads there was this one that had a subplot at one point about one character sleeping with his cousin after catching her masturbating with Rez or something. I forgot the name of it but that was the worst I ever saw.

Runner-up to Shredded Moose. That may or may not have been a troll comic but still

 

[Wynnebeck]

I know they aren't the best, but Fanboys had a few classics such as the E3 2010 strip:

I have been rendered useless by this content.

 

[Savitar]

Manly Guys Doing Manly Things.

This deserves much more attention, some of you will love it for how it has lots of different characters that show up, some of you will love it for Jared and Mr. Fish, the rest of you will love it for Canada Guy.

 

[Quadraphonic]

CAD was also terrible for the last 6 months of 2013. It became some weird serious comic about PS4-headed soldier fighting Xbox One-headed soldiers making terrible jokes about console war shit.

And it went on FOR MONTHS, only broken up by the weird-ass 4-players-that-murder-each-other-all-the-time comic.

 

[Cyberpunknut]

CAD is easily the worst.

castle vidcons is my favorite.

 

[TheActtionFigure]

A while back when I was in between gigs I tried dipping my toe in the videogame webcomic bidness.

I completely lost interest in it, thank goodness, once work picked up.

 

[Theecliff]

I (rather stupidly) decided to look up CAD after seeing this thread to see what all the fuss was about, and was greeted by the most recent comic, 'Lost in Translation' - in which the author compares the reaction to Xbox One's DRM with Playstation Now, and uses the analogy of the names of the two services being the reason why people were upset with one over the other (ie.- the message sent out.).

The author decided to supplement this with a written explanation, that boils down to 'Everyone bitched about XBO DRM but no one's bitching about PS Now even though they're the same sort of thing!' and finishing it with the ludicrous statement that Microsoft were just 'thinking too far ahead into the future.'. Ugh. I decided to check the comments on the comic (which led me to the forum), where people were keen to try and point out the differences between the two things. Then the creator of the comic (Tim something?) jumps in too, arguing against a few people's opinions, and after having his arguments rebutted, leaves the discussion with a stupid, dismissive 'Well let's agree to disagree' comment. Wow.

This makes me genuinely mad!

...and after having his arguments rebutted, leaves the discussion with a stupid, dismissive 'Well let's agree to disagree' comment. Wow.

Hey, at least he didn't ban them.

 

[jaxword]

You may want to read the thread; that's a parody of a very specific webcomic that everyone hates as a result.

 

[cacildo]

Nothings is worse than the "angry anything videogame" youtube vídeo Channels

 

[mrplaid]

Homestuck makes me sad because Problem Sleuth was so legitimately funny. I can't muster the effort to make it through Homestuck because it feels like it goes so far up its own ass so quickly.

 

[Astarte]

I absolutely despise Tim Buckley and his webcomic. From the fake charity to flashing his dick to an underage girl, he's a giant package of disgusting, plagarizing, sameface.

 

[Weltall Zero]

Is it ironic if this thread exposed me to several good webcomics I didn't know about? I spent the last two hours or so traveling back the entire archive of Awkward Zombie; indeed the expressions are just awesome. I tried to select my favorites but, um, ended up with a whole lot of them, so I guess I'll just link them (one per word).

There's quite several from different Zelda games.

Also Professor Layton.

Not to mention Pokemon.

She definitely doesn't like Miranda.

Plus assorted others like Fallout, Portal 2 and WoW.

Also, this happens to me all the time.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

Is there a not-awful one?

Castle Vidcons is pretty great

CAD is the worst I've seen. Not only is it unfunny, it's just so poorly done, terrible "comedic" writing.

 

[Nerdkiller]

OH YES! Though, I kinda fell out when they did that Nomura disease storyline, but now that I've caught up...

 

[fwpx]

Just... Just look at it.

 

[Blues1990]

CAD is awful

Though if I were to think of a good web comic. Does Hiimdaisy count as a contender for a great web comic when she was still doing them? I miss her video game related comics. I think most people though know about her through the Persona 4 comics, and their respective fan comic dubs on Youtube. If you haven't seen them, here's 30 minutes of your life well spent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7lj9qI8VFc

I have never played any of the Persona games, and I'm sure I shouldn't judge their overall quality after watching that video, but are the games really that bat-shit insane?
