VGCats #244: Surprise! It's not funny!

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.


My bad brain fart. Still peek a boo is like a retarded version of hide n seek
 
the original comic is pretty funny :lol :lol

you guys are only used to hate on it because its VGcats so some of you think its cool to hate on it

This has made me realize something...

3) Dark humor is apparently not appealing to GAF

You VGCats defenders apparently are illiterate.

Fact: Very few people in this thread have complained about the violence or wrongness of having a baby die by turret.

I actually found the similar Penny Arcade strip quite amusing. This VGCats? Not so much...

Fact: The MAJORITY of complaints in this thread, as well as nearly every single other VGCats shop threads, is that the author has decent ideas, but fails at the execution.

The problem is not the joke. It's how the joke is told.

It is usually too drawn out (OMG! The Panels!!!), in which case it self destructs at its own pacing.

Or it is lacking subtlety, which would have made the joke far more interesting and clever. In this case, it's so straight forward, that the humor falls flat. It's dull.

Hahaha, brilliant photoshops from all concerned. And we haven't even seen Garfield cat shopped in yet!
I was hoping of a comic that consisted of the baby staring at the turret, then the baby's face is replaced with garfield, and then another of the same frame, and then the turret goes into kill mode. I'd do it, but my photoshop skills are nil.
 
It's accurate insomuch that VGCats is so awful that it causes babies to die. Accurate, but still not funny.

If only scott was clever enough to have done this instead of the shit he keeps putting out.
