These shops are awesome! I think Disappeared's so far is my favourite though.

And to think, fools like PolyGone wanted these threads banned.
 
VG Cat's always have the worst OP only to turn out to be the best threads GAF has to offer. So for that, I thank you Scott. Please keep making shitty and overly long comics.

Oh, and 4 pages yet no one has put cat face on it yet.

I also didn't get it until the edit. The turret looks for the baby, finds the baby, and kills the baby. It's so straightforward that it didn't occur to me to actually look at the baby.

I also didnt get it until the edit

1 line vs two lines is what did it for me
 
some of you have no sense of humor :| I found it pretty fucked up/funny, but seriously, why do you guys even bother making these threads? Is VG Cats the new Penny-Arcade?

I agree, this was nothing but a rare miss.

My favorite thing about VG cats are the GAF shops :D

You mean there's something else that could possibly have some redeeming qualities in these VGCats threads, like countless posts reposting the photoshops only to add an extra :lol to the thread, or god forbid, the actual original comic?

Reminded me of this for some reason:

This has made me realize something...

1) All artists are twisted fucks and you know it (I do)

2) If Gabe wrote and drew Penny-Arcade, it would be VG Cats, except no cats.

3) Dark humor is apparently not appealing to GAF

I fucking love dark humor.

"LOL portal turret in a different location -- IN A NURSERY LOLOL" does not equal dark humor.
 
Scott is the Leno of web comics.

Leno monologue diagram:

Joke begins ----------- twist ----- punchline -------------------- haha, get it? ----- punchline again -------- heh -------- punchline ------ drum roll

So a baby dies, and the lulz is suppose to come?

When the certain GAFers turn it around so that the baby in question is Scott Ransoomair who is dying or they turn it around to poke fun at the fact that Mr. Ransoomair actually thinks this is funny, then yes, in this case, o ye of few posts, the lulz is definitely suppose to come.

Holy crap @ alistair's version. xD Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep uncontrolable laughter under control in a computer lab? :lol

Heard the fuck outta that; I'm sitting in the library working on a paper; took a little break to browse GAF and saw that shop and I swear I almost choked myself trying to hold the laughter in.

Best shop I have ever seen. EVER. :lol

Most of the other posts in this thread outline how I feel about VGCats... good artwork, just crappy, crappy planning. Scott needs a writer/sidekick badly to keep him in check.

Phoenix's edit is a great example of how, given help, Scott's work can truly shine.

Until then, let the GAF shop madness train roll on!
 
Best VGCats thread in awhile :lol

Good job all!
 
These photoshops are awesome- whet the hell posessed him to make the original comic. A smiling baby being gunned down by an automated turret? wtf?

The original comic actually had a joke in it, the gunning down wasn't really necessary. If you've played portal, the turrets say the exact things in that comic and they sound very friendly. So it makes it sound like they're playing hide 'n seek.

Actually they're playing peekaboo ;)

I think the first panel and last panel should be cut. We don't need the mom to explain that the turret is babysitting, and we don't need to see the baby actually die. Have the turret shooting panel for the punchline and only imply that the baby is being shot; leave the baby's fate ambiguous.

No I beat Portal so I get the "Joke" I just don't see how I can be expected to laugh at what boils down to shootig a baby in the face. It's like the Carlos Mencia of Webcomic humor
