That seems fairly funny to me.
There's a lot of shit 'humor' in gaming culture, but I don't think that was a good example of it. Most everything else being posted here is more like it.

I found Guacamelee hilarious. I think it was the fact that the game was self coscious about the jokes being bad what made it funny. Heh.
Sure, it used internet memes more than once, but even that I found funny. Maybe I'm just easy to please?
Edit: Those comics...now that's terrible. I cringed hard.
This comic contains almost everything I hate about gamer culture.
Yup.

If Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.

Does this guy write this comic just to preach his lame views to people?
OOT not the greatest Zelda ever. Wow, I'm drowning in the devil-may-care badassery of this guy's edgy opinions.

"I wonder if there's a way that, instead of enjoying this party, we can segregate ourselves off with people who get Portal references, that underground title that hardly anyone has played."
The cake is a lie. The cake is a fucking lie. I hope you choke on your cake you stupid comic. Not the writer, the comic.

I'm surprised nobody's posted that shitty Irish stand-up comic and his tired old routine that still gets trotted out. Dude sucks at it. Lowest common denominator of comedy.

Sensationalist title. From what I've gathered it makes threads more fun.

Most webcomics are horrendous, most things that try to be funny in games themselves are also horrendous.
I do enjoy GAF a lot though, I personally find reaction gifs to game reveals, etc really funny, the Kaz gif series, again, comedy gold. But I'm not sure if that's what you're ranting about. That "cake is a lie" webcomic, though, I couldn't even come up with something that cringe worthy if I sat down in a locked room to do it.

Y2K? Have you never heard of it or do you just not get the comic? Or are you just pointing that out? It's hard to tell sometimes.
The only Webcomic I like is castle Vidcons

I like the his art style, and the humor can be really subtle
here is a recent one

I'm saying the punchline fails to resemble humor.

The parody .
I don't get the comic
That is apparently what it is to be a geek nowadays: to be hung up on everything.
The whole call-and-response nature of geek culture pisses me the fuck off. Oh, you answered my question with "42"? WHOA, you mean you've READ the Hitchhiker's Guide? All this time I thought it was this obscure piece of fiction I found all on my own!!!
God, shoot me every time someone giggles with glee because they mentioned something from the nerd pantheon. "Ahahaha, yeah, Browncoats! That's a Firefly thing! And you mentioned it! Let's be best friends!"

I don't think comics are a good example. A lot of comics in general are pretty fucking awful. I mean, if you look for examples of shitty game humor, you'll find it.
Off the top of my head, a lot of the Skyrim green texts were pretty funny.

I see that you have never heard of Andrew Dobson before. look him up. He is such an asshole. There is a ton of reedits about this guy.
All the memes and stuff? I don't buy it. The actual dialogue was good occasionally.

Dude.... Dr.McNinja is one of the best webcomics around! Of course it is not a gaming comic... which I think is the reason why it is so awesome.

Gaming humor isn't any less cringe inducing or terrible than most humor. I feel the same way, but it is by way of being closer to games and, like most people, remaining socially aware. It feels worse than the baseline of where humor is, but try to read funny fanfiction or go to an open mic stand up and you will see that most people think they are funnier than they are.
Games also attract a younger audience, so the humor is measured against a lower bar.
Finally, humor is subjective (blah blah blah). There is a reason why Pew Dee Pie and Yogscast are so successful while the humor I love (Brendon Small, Scott Auckerman, Matt Thompson, Tim and Eric/Everything is Terrible) get a fraction of the web traffic.

Actually, I love this one.
I was going to post this exact one! We have the same shitty gamer humor it seems

What The FuckI don't think so. Early Penny Arcade is devoid of "jokes".

Wow... I think I've never seen anything from this person that I've ever liked.
Some people thought/joked that the year 2000 bug was going to cause untold catastrophe, it's playing on that and crazy survivalists.
That aside, hardly any of the comics posted are funny. The very worst don't actually have punchlines and they seem to comprise the bulk of online web comics. The Peach one was slightly amusing. I could happily never see another Portal reference again.
I look at Dilbert occasionally. Most funny things are funny because they're true, Dilbert is on mark nearly all the time for anyone who works in a corporation.
Yeah I know. I'm puzzled that people actually used the word "wang" too.
