Dolan is the embodiment of everything I hate about memes. I don't get why people find it funny.

Haha, I didn't notice till you pointed it out. Just edited out but the theme may be a bit much. I just love the perspective shift in the last panel.

I do not find the humor in just putting recognizable characters in fucked up situations. I'm not offended, it's just not funny in and of itself.

I'm also getting tired of grotesque drawings of recognizable characters used as shorthand for "funny".

Some talented webcomics artist is starving to death right now and it's your fault.

Not to toot my own horn, but I go to Dartmouth and love these. My friends who go to school with me do as well. While I'd rather not assert that going to a good school is directly correlated with having a high IQ (which is really an antiquated measure of "intelligence" that compartmentalizes and pigeonholes only one particular subset of analytical, intellectual thought and fails to even accurately serve as a barometer of that form of intelligence), I'd also prefer that you not make sweeping generalizations about a person's intelligence based simply off of their comedic preferences.

There's a really strange and near unexplainable charm to some of the Dolan comics. I think it started a little slow but some of the variants, particularly the gooby pls shit, is hilarious.

I more or less agree with this.

In the sense that I also more or less feel ashamed for laughing at this comic.

It's not really the jokes that are funny with Dolan, it's what it represents - the simultaneous evolution and devolution of language and meaning in the meme sphere. It's the Monty Python of memes, a sense of the ridiculous created by exaggerating what's already being done to crazy proportions. It just happenned that this outlet was with poorly drawn Disney characters.

Rage comics got overtaken by mundane real life activities being depicted as observational comedy. Witness the watering down of Me Gusta from what was originally meant to mean 'disgusting pleasure' (things like enjoying smelling farts) to mean pleasure of any sort, it became just another 'fuck yeah' type response. Stuff like Spiderpman had to be created to fill the void of the original Me Gusta face's meaning. Troll took off because of great Troll physics jokes, and now has been used just to denote 'asshole' as often as not.

And it all became too clean. All those traced celebrities, kids stating the obvious over and over, too many panels, boring politically correct content...

Dolan's broken, inconsistent art (stolen from a Dutch board originally if I remember correctly?), completely childish broken English, and over the top violence and sex were originally counterpoints to the swamp of meaningless Rage. Witness also 'Monkey Face!' a few weeks ago, which was a parody of the way lower-rung sites trace over anything 4chan puts out there and calls it a Rage face.

Of course Dolan has also become what it paradies, as someone said last page. And there are now a few face-value meme elements to it that are quite funny, Gooby Plz with the main Dolan face is a great punchline.
