Sex jokes aren't funny. Niether are insults to other websites.

It has SOME good stuff, such as Photoshop Phriday and The Flash Tub, but that's basically it.

Metal Man · 06-27-2006, 12:43 AM

Their descriptions of other things are also sucky. If you're going to insult stuff, read it, find out what's wrong, and make fun of it.

Spraying stuff like "Kill anyone who dares make a sprite comic, because they're lame" just doesn't cut the bill for criticism.

I fixed the typo, although it doesn't show I did. So you're not hallucinating.

I never cared for SomethingAwful's method of "humor" where they swear like drunken sailors. And as somebody else said about that Batman comic at I-Mockery: "The funny, good thing about it is (based on the "quotes" from the comics) is that all the criticisms seem valid and taken from the comic. I like that stuff a lot more than stupid Somethingawful style "jokes" based on exaggerating or misunderstanding the subject being reviewed."

BTW, I-Mockery is awesome.

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

Yeah, a lot of it is junk. There are a few gems, much like how you need to process seventy-three tonnes of rock to get half a carat of diamond.

DrJordo · 06-29-2006, 12:08 PM

I actually kind of like some things on the site. Mostly Weekend Web, though.

**Crazyswordsman** · 06-29-2006, 05:57 PM

After what they said about NC, that was the last straw. It's bad enough that they make you pay to even lurk the forums. Still, Ebaum's world is worse. -CSM

It's about time some one said that!! I would've done it, but I'm lazy.

You guys are just mad because you aren't funny.

-Dylan

Metal Man · 06-30-2006, 03:04 AM

They'd probably insult you if they got the chance, Dylan. Defending them is like defending cannibals.

**NintendoNut** · 06-30-2006, 04:59 AM

Never visited SomethingAwful myself. Can't be that bad surely, it's only a website.

Dylan · 06-30-2006, 02:00 PM

^^ And bashing them is like winning the Special Olympics; even though you've won, you're still retarded. If you guys are so upset about them putting NC on Awful Link Of The Day, then you seriously need to grow up.

Oh, everything there is toilet humor ?

I wasn't even posting it for that. Reason: Insults and Way to much Adult Humor.

Bandit · 06-30-2006, 02:31 PM

I like most of the stuff on there.

Platform Hero, however, is quite possibly the most overrated flash series of all time. I dont see how anyone can find that crap funny.

Godot · 06-30-2006, 02:35 PM

I like the Photoshop Fridays.

^That is probably the most correct thing I've ever seen on the internets.

Cham Zord · 07-05-2006, 04:45 PM

How about some of the people that work there? David Thorpe says Usher's "Yeah" is culture-changing while songs by the Beatles are worthless and pathetic. I'm sensing a lack of taste in good music.

***CaptHayfever*** · 07-06-2006, 12:21 AM

Well, "Yeah" is culture-changing; the change just isn't in a good direction. It has helped push towards song lyrics that don't say anything.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
