Reddit's rage comics

Glaives are better.

Do you know why 4chan's rage face comics were funny? They were observational humor. Every time you saw a comic where the main character has to sit next to a morbidly obese person on a plane, or has a younger sibling who forces them to watch the Disney Channel, you could sympathize and say, "Hey, I know that feeling too." That was the punchline.

Taking the faces from those comics and copy-pasting them multiple times along with some story that happened to you once that showed off your "nerd cred" is like taking an episode of Seinfeld and replacing every line with "I'm such a nerd, lol."

    I made a parody of one of those once for a 4chan thread





    There are a lot of them like this.Seriously, I saw one some time ago that was about the guy doing some favour to a lady and she said "God bless you" and he was all "DURR HURR IMA ATHEIST"
  • Glaives are better.

    You made a good start. You should have put "LE WHAT" under every face in the last panel, and made the Christian's face one of the more elaborate rage faces.

    The lulzsec pic was a nice touch, by the way.

    They were also funny because of the silly facial expressions. Copying and pasting the same dozen faces kills that. Also

    Yeah. For example, seeing the Forever Alone face in a 4chan comic with the guy celebrating his body pillow's birthday is funnier than seeing it in 50 reddit comics because no one has called him in 3 hours

    ^Yeah,many times they just take a joke and recreate it with rage faces. Or worse,they take a pre-existing comic and just paste the faces over it. Or worser,do a hand-drawn comic but only use the faces anyway
  • Glaives are better.

    ^^ The joke is funny. The faces aren't. Why would he be using an "I don't give a fuck" face when he's making a joke? Why is her face a rage face? WHY

    ^ and ^^: It's not that, it's that it's being used to make the guy who created it look funny. It's 4-panel wank material for the creator.
  • Glaives are better.

    Oh. Okay.

    You know, this shit wouldn't bug me nearly as much as if they didn't seem to think that they invented the rage face.

    I hate the ones that go "I noticed I was fat and jobless so I got and haircut and started working out and bitches be all over my dick now."

    Also,the ones about Reddit's inside mechanics. Look, people don't give a shit someone gave you karma.

    Though there are still some funny ones. Sturgeon law applies

    ^ There's currently a huge shitstorm in 4chan about that.
  • They think they invented every face they used.

    Hell, they thought they invented Trollface until the creator himself shut down a Redditor-created video game that used it.
  • Glaives are better.

    He's trying to shut down the rage face comic groups because even he loathes how unfunny they are.

    Do you know what they did when they got a Cease And Desist from him?

    They made another shitty fucking comic making fun of his having a problem with them. Which wasn't funny. 

  • Kichigai birthday!!
    Of course, when Memebase or Funnyjunk post Reddit comics or use ragefaces then they are dirty thieves with a retarded userbase
  • I need links people, why the fuck would I hang around reddit?
  • Kichigai birthday!!
    This is what are we talking about

    Rest of reddit is fine though.

    Okay, I laughed at this.

    ^^ You should see the 4chan and Tumblr versions of that.

    Inkblot, that's somewhat funny because you can sympathize and see it happening to you. 

    Rage comics are supposed to be observational humor.

    Okay,now that I remember the word I was thinking of, I can rewrite this post. The word of the day is entitlement. It's what you feel concerning online internet in-jokes being used by other people in a fashion that isn't funny to you or your affiliated internet culture, and have a tendency to take it personally.

    Because these things are drawn on MS Paint or Photoshop, and compose of lines. To think people start protests and commit crimes against companies, families or persons over something so fucking retarded baffles me.

    Yes, sometimes they use the jokes out of context, and it's annoying. But just because they use the (widely popular) rageface template doesn't mean you have to bring in legal action into it. Seriously. A Cease and Desist order over a fucking bad drawing? God, people.
  • Glaives are better.
    I think that my culture can feel entitled to something that they created. 
  • Kichigai birthday!!
    I know I suck for bumping threads. But seriously, I can't believe this is real
  • I can't think of anything to convey my look of slack jawed disbelief.

    LOL! Leaving people crippled and maimed is the height of witty comebacks! 
  • Glaives are better.

    You see why this makes me angry? DO YOU FUCKING SEE NOW?

    KILL! KILL! MAIM!

    @Vorpmeister: I don't care about the meme being co-opted by Reddit (my 4chan experience is limited to about a half-dozen visits to /tg/, anyway), but the fact that they have decreased in quality is disappointing.

    But you know what's worse than new rage comics? New advice variants.

  • Glaives are better.
    Advice dog spinoffs seem to be dying down, for which I am grateful.
  • No rainbow star
    Some of those would be funny if they were more coherent and didn't use Rage Face format
  • When in Turkey, ROCK THE FUCK OUT
    Lol
