I don't get it either... Why don't we put a stickie post, so people can post the things they think consider cool or funny, there?

Well, that "boyscout" is a nazi obviously - where are your history skills, guys? ;)

About the piece itself: I don't think its very funny. It says that nazis can't wish upon a star?

I mostly like VG cats(its funny AND canadian), but this ain't. I personally think Nazism (and Hitler in particular) is to serious an issue to make fun of THIS way.

well I! did, when I was young, it was cute. but I still don't like the comic.
I mean, we are talking about what was one ( if not THE) worst act of evil of the 20th century, and we are making fun of it 60 years later in a web comic? oh ho ho, SO funny.

Funny you mentioned the word "idiots".... that reminds me a quote by Albert Einstein.

"Laughing of nothing is for dumbs.
But laughing of anything is for idiots."

Hey Squinky, that's the site where my mate reckons he did those pop up icons at the bottom of the screen!

As for the comic. It failed to make me laugh. And I instantly recognised Hitler, but not cricket. Sorry Vict0r!

 :(



I hate you all ;D Maybe i am an idiot! But i still have my sense of humor!


And about making fun of hitler... Who cares about someone making fun of him? He was an evil genius (inbred yes, but still genius) and if he still excisted he would be really really hurt by that comic!

Its a nice comic - I don't think its funny but it is drawn very well.  :D

Hehe, I like it! It's funny!
And I second vict0r:
I mean, Charlie Chaplin made fun about Hitler. And with greart succes!
Is Charlie Chaplin an idiot?
No, everyone who thinks, Charlie Chaplin is an idiot is an idiot!
Title: Re: Just wanted to show you this
Post by: Nacho on Thu 06/04/2006 21:41:52
Who has called someone idiot to someone else?

You Vict0r.

I have just quoted Einstein. Relax man.

So... We are idiots because we don't like a joke you like? You hate us all because we don't like a joke you do? Mmmm... Who is the one who has not sense of humour?  ;)

And Thomas... there is a difference between making fun of Hitler in 1936 (before the holocaust) and in 2006 (after the holocaust). Nothing I really wanna to discuss, though. Jokes of Hitler can be very funny, but this joke, for me, just is not.

Okay, so what this is coming down to is this:

Hitler Jokes vs. Guys (kung-fu) flipping each other off.....

I vote for a combination of both.
Title: Re: Just wanted to show you this
Post by: MarVelo on Thu 06/04/2006 22:35:36
I think its marginally comical. I instantly recoungnised both characters. It wasnt enough for a laugh but It made sense and I guess the message is that Jimminy Cricket wont grant Hitlers wish for the "Final Solution".

lo_res_man: Just because its a serius issue does not mean we cant have laughs at it. As paradoxic as that sounds, it makes sense. I just think you're being a little sensitive.

I chuckled at it.

I don't think making fun of Hitler is out of bounds.
Quite the opposite, actually.

Making fun of Hitler has little to do with making fun of the attempted genocide of Jews.

Saying that, somebody mentioned Chaplin in regards to "The Great Dictator". After WW2 and the atrocites of the Nazi regime game to light, Chaplin said that if he had know the truth of the situation, he would have rethought his approach to his film.

So I guess it comes down to personal preference.

The Simpson has a number of Hitler related jokes. As does Family Guy. If memory serves, I laughed at most of them.  :-\

yES!!!1 i am so teh mad!!!!1!11


Not really, no... I just discovered how hard it is to show irony in text ;D I werent serious when calling you all idiots... or when i said you had no sense of humour... And... I love you guys! Give us a hug! And i accept the fact that for some of you (idiots) the cartoon just aint funny.

EDIT: Thank you so much Limpo! And screw the rest of you!^^
And please dont make this some silly holocaust discussion!

vict0r, when you mention hitler, its kind of hard to AVOID the Holocaust.
Lets talk about something else... like whether nuking Hiroshima was right or not... :P

I'd have to say I found this strip (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=182) much funnier... provided you know at least a little about Kirby.
Title: Re: Just wanted to show you this
Post by: vict0r on Thu 06/04/2006 23:31:54
lo_res: Of course! But we dont have to talk about it and discuss it...

Sergio: Thats pretty funny too

My favorite VG Cats, although there are plenty, was this one. For some reason people got mad, or something, and he removed it from his image archives.

Pheeew... Again, I was right. Now, two jokes WITHOUT Hitler... and two jokes that ain't funny. I repeat, Hitler jokes can be funny... But this page haven't made me laugh at the moment, no matter which is the issue.

And Vict0r, look at my smilies, I was also joking, I am glad you took it in the funny way. :)

Post by: Kinoko on Fri 07/04/2006 09:10:22
I thought it was funny :)

To anyone who says you shouldn't joke about something serious like that, that's just completely and utterly wrong. It's wonderful we CAN joke about shit like that!!

HOLOCAUST BAD! HITLER BAD! JOKE BAD! YOU BAD! BAD! BBBBBAAAADDDD!!!!!!!

Now, children, did you know? 2 + 5 = 3

I found THIS funny ;D I loved how it took the rules of the pokemon world and then asked "what they heck if this was real life?" critters just don't do so well when squished into little bitty balls.

Post by: ManicMatt on Fri 07/04/2006 18:36:18
The Garfield section of that cartoon script I just don't get at all, and the bit with what might be those two cartoon characters whose names escape me, I've never read anyway so maybe the joke is lost on me. Or maybe the joke isn't funny and I DO get it.

I do like the pokemon one though! hehe!

Personally, I found this one funny...

(http://www.vgcats.com/comics/images/060227.jpg)

...but maybe its just me.

(And it helps if you've played Billy Hatcher And The Giant Egg. Which I did. Which is what makes it funny. To me. See?)

Yeah, my kid plays that game. I found that pretty funny also, but felt it didn't have enough Hitler...
