Could’ve been made a fun joke if it was delivered with a proper setup and punchline. This is just an amusing observation without any interesting delivery.
Not sure the intention of emphasizing the words “used” and “these”. Doesn’t make the comic funnier the slightest.
The joke is the person he’s sitting with, who is a modern day troll.
Not really. Sorry.
I feel like there could be a funny (well, funnier) version of this,
Yeah, my first job was under a bridge and now millions of people are seeing me on social media every day
Jokes are funnier to people if you let them fill in a missing detail or two, actually saying “troll” makes it a bit too obvious
Also, he should be trying to flirt and she should look bored out of her mind, because magical creatures with mundane problems (like bad dates) has been funny since before Shrek
Yeah my first job was under a bridg, not bad decent pay and few regular costumers, but since I got the opportunity to work remote, business is booming, millions of costumers and you can get some really high paying gigs.
There is a funnier, better executed version of this joke in What We Do In The Shadows.
Kind of, but more “slightly amusing” than funny.
I thought about exhaling gently through my nose.
It would be funnier if the bridge troll was like “those guys have ruined analog trolling”
Not terrible, but the wording could be a bit less obvious. Maybe drop a working remotely joke in there.
It’s not funny to me. It gives me a real “1980s standup comedian” feeling, if that makes sense. Like it was written by someone who is funny, but very out of touch
Seems highly unoriginal and low effort to me. This is like first Shrek movie level humor. Clever for about five seconds.
Nope.
A troll is someone who baits other posters with mischevious to malicious intent for the lols. The last point is very important. Trolls are anarchic chaotic neutral creatures. Spreading misinfornation is not trolling. It is plain evil.
That’s what trolling used to be about, sure, but unfortunately the definition seems to have changed.
yea ever since the term “troll farm” was used in the 2016 elections it seems to have changed
Meh. Not really.
are web comics ever funny? i don’t think so. but people like them when they resonate or something. personally i resonate with my ass
isn’t it about the artist/writer rather than being on web or print or whatever other media?
- oglaf makes me laugh sometimes.
- I recently found out about wondermark on a lemmy thread about seaLioning.
- wumo was really funny 10 years ago
Are any comics ever funny? I don’t think they’re supposed to be. They’re simply meant to entertain.
Yes
A little.
