Maybe I'm just smart enough to understand it

But XKCD has to be some of the funniest shit in the world. The simplicity goes to show you that it really is about how something is WRITTEN, not how it looks.

    You always struck me as pretty bright. The math ones suck for me, but due to Totse/zoklet/totseagain I've learned what most of them mean on the inside. You gotta read the mouseover text too.

    I meant that I don't know what XKCD is.

    But I've looked it up just now.

    The guy who writes XKCD is a physicist/mathematician, if I recall correctly.

    That aside... I love it. LOVE IT.

    The ones with the Jurassic Park references are my favorite.

    It's more like he's channeling me. Do a couple more, throw in RaptorJesus and zombies and he might as well be my doppelganger.

    XKCD was one of the first webcomics I started reading. Still enjoy it to this day. I love geek humour. Some I get, some I sorta understand, and some I just have no clue. Great way to learn :D

    Oh FFS. I did a rant on this back on Zoklet, or the old Totse.

    I'm a dumbass, okay? I admit it. But I completely understand all the jokes and references in XKCD.

    Why?

    XKCD is a scam! The jokes aren't smart! Just because you reference smart things doesn't mean it's a smart comic!

    Fuck it's just a scam to make people think "LOL IM SMART FOR UNDERSTANDING THIS COMIC. AND I'M SMART FOR READING IT!"

    No! The OP has been suckered in as well! It's like a fucking cult.

    Most of XKCD isn't direct comedy, but more along the lines of forcing a different perspective which can be humorous - like in the latest comic about Frogger.

    I don't understand fully most of the math and some of the more advanced computer science ones, but I can get the idea and appreciate them anyway.

    I like it more than I'd care to admit.

    I love it but I can understand the distaste some have for it.
