To sever a customer's leg would be the greatest day, especially if they're the kind that run up service times...

The sad thing is, if you DID tell them to sever their leg, would they even be able to understand you? *sigh...*

Why didn't the Cheat want a Reynold toy? What's so great about BL commander?

AATFC · **Posted:** Thu Mar 22, 2007 11:54 pm

The toys had nothing to do with the Cheat Commandos, if they were, it would have been mentioned and properly named, not just named "blue" or "brown".
But, I digress.
This toon was pretty good, in my opinion. I had some strange feeling that the Whale was going a little bit wacko, though.

The ending reminded me somehow of the Beatles' movie "Yellow Submarine."

anybody? no? okay, it was just me.

Good question.... I'd probably just get the ole "What was that price again?" When they finally made it to the pay window...

I'll try to be nicer to my next drive-thru clerk, in your honor. You guys and gals work hard.

As for my in-topic anti-toastpaint: *IT IS THE GREATEST DAY*

If it's that X-mas one, I used my own crappy mic for it. NG had a due date

You never know! It could be a cleverly disguised inside joke! Besides, the point of random theories is there is little basis to them. But why not? The Cheat obviously would like Cheat Commandos toys, and they are the toys mentioned most often in the HR universe. I bet a fast-food place would have some cheap version of the actual toys.

Wow, theshague, I feel for you. And I see where you're coming from. It's as we say in my Communication 103 class, people tend to be drawn to things that relate somehow to their personal experiences. :ehsteve:

This is quite obscure, but when I first saw it, I thought that the inside joke there could have been "the blue ones," from "Bug In Mouth Disease." Just a thought.

Cybernetic Teenybopper · **Posted:** Fri Mar 23, 2007 7:59 pm

I thought for sure the joke in the Easter egg was refering to "Two blues, a red, and an orange" from Lookin' at a Thing in a Bag. Anyway, I think the theory that they're cheap Cheat Commandos toys makes sense, though I don't know why you need such a theory. 'Cept that it's fun, of course. Hooray fun!

I thought it was ok, not their best work though. I did like Strong Bad's interpretation of what the server was saying, but it otherwise had a "slapped together" feel to it.

Checkot Fige · **Posted:** Tue Mar 27, 2007 10:22 pm

Sever my leg? It's the greatest day?

This may actually be my favourite toon. It was so freakin' raaaaandom. The end, especially. I laughed pretty hard.

Also, The Cheat is a steaming pile of cute. Along with that drive-thru whale. IT WAS CUTE OKAY.

It's brown.

Yeah, I can see that. Now that you mention it, it does remind me of it, too.

I think it's the overall shape of the whale and the fact that it just randomly flew into the air.

And it looks like something out of the Sea of Monsters.

And Mandy just won 500 points. Now go to the nearest 7-11 and trade them in for an ice cream sandwich.

I just had a mental picture of that drive-thru whale eating the ice cream sandwich.

I need help.

You're a fangirl, of course you need help. We both do.

Heh, there's a Wawa right across the street from my school, and I almost always get myself a chocolate-chip cookie ice-cream sandwich and a chocolate milk.

MMM-MMM-GÜD.

Cybernetic Teenybopper · **Posted:** Sat Mar 31, 2007 8:43 pm

Aside from the grin, I don't really see a Sea of Monsters connection, though it did take me a while to figure out if that thing on top of it was a chef's hat or a blowhole spout.

Chekt wrote:

Anyways, what drugs are they on? Seriously!

It never fails to actually get on my nerves when something weird, creative or funny happens on TV or a cartoon, and for a lack of anything intellgent to say, everyone has to say "They must be on drugs".

It's a serious pet peeve of mine, because the total general population of the world, seems fond of making this very ignorant commentary.

You know... not everyone is so uncreative that they have to be on illegal substances to come up with something random or weird. Just becuase someone comes up with an idea that not a lot of other people would think up, or something original that most other people wouldn't think to come up with, is somehow formulated through a hallocination? I mean... What IS people's facination and obsession with drugs, and the mindless, repeated assumption that random entertainment = narcotics?

It kind of really gets on my nerves. Everyone says EVERYONE is on drugs when they see something like this. People say that the makers of Sealab 2021, ATHF, and Space Ghost are on drugs. People say that the creator of BoBoBo-BoBoBoBo is on drugs. People say that ANYTHING that is funny or non-sequiter related is automatically "drug related". People say the same ignorant things about CHARACTERS, even.

People say that Osaka from the anime Azumanga Daioh is on drugs because she's humorously spaced out. Nothing ever seriously suggests this, yet everyone says it. Usually any character with a specificlly unusual personailty gets this comment and anything creative of unusual thought up by someone else gets a comment like this.

Is Homestar a pot-head because he's not very bright? No. Does Strong Bad come up with bizarre fantasies becuase he's on crack? Of course not. So why would people so stupidly start making statements suggesting that Matt and Mike are on drugs because they make a toon about a drive-through whale?

Were they on LSD when they came up with Virus? Of course not. But If I had said something like that, people would think I'm an idiot. Yet, someone says something as ignorant as "what kind of drugs are they on?" and no one gets annoyed by that? I do.

99.99% of the time there is absolutely no connection between random humor and narcotics. People make a bizarre and way-out-there assumption linking two unrelated things and act like it's a clever observation or something. It isn't.

TBC certainly don't look like junkies to me, and i'm failry sure that they would be insulted by this assumption. For two reasons: It devalues their creativity with such a statement. And paints a negative picture of them, personally when people say dumb things like that. :rolleyes:

I really think it would be best for the entire IQ of the world, if people everywhere would PLEASE stop saying that everything that is on a higher creative level then they are capapble of understanding had to have been created while on "drugs"? Please? Thanks.

1) There was no "joke" to this toon
2) Drugs are always the anwser. To everything
3) I don't read long posts.

The whale is a carniverous creature that flies from world to world, seeking prey that is gullible enough to immobilize itself, be it by standing confused and paralyzed or by amputating its own ambulatory limbs, so that the relatively slow whale (which is, while on a planet, entirely sessile - its only choice in terms of motion is to leave the planet entirely) can eat it at its own leisure.

Or maybe I'm overanalyzing.
