Rocco, it has lots of funny stuff, it's just that most of the time what apears on the front page is what people agree in rather than find funny. Funnyjunk has a lot of hilarious comics, such as the one UberAndrew is doing.

Also, on Funnyjunk there's a sepparate place for NSFW, so you can actually avoid accedentally ending up looking at porn during school/work.

/tg/ is good... That's the only board I frequent though, so I suppose I wouldn't know.

 

They did have a pretty awesome thread about an undead computer (Literally a world spanning computer with skeletons in place of bits/bytes) a couple days ago.

[The_Mather1]

Those two are funny because you're already supposed to "know" Sherry by then. And the reason something is a meme is because it is universally used, if only its place of origin used it then it wouldn't be a meme.

On the note of dead-ish computer, have you ever heard of one with a chronic sleep desease? My computer shuts down whenever I try to play any games unless it's held at an angle, what happens is that the fan suddenly speeds up (without any heat building up) and eventually the computer just blacks out.

I saw that. A moderator pinned it, so natually there was around 800+ replies.

[Seraphi]

Yeah. I was really tempted to arrange a game just so I could use that as my BBEG.

 

Skelnet undead AI.

I have noticed that people who use ridiculously complicated ways of connecting to the internet, or dozens of monitors or who upgrade their computer...Or any number of other things that only computer people do...Tends to savagely curtail the life of a computer.

 

However, this is being balanced out gradually by the number of people with Laptops and Beds...Do people honestly not think 'Hmm, this laptop is making a lot of noise, maybe I should investigate?', 'Hmmm, this fan is awfully hot, I should stop laying it directly in the quilt'

No...They see it and go 'hmmm' then put it back down.

 

 

Anyway, humour...No, you don't need to know who Sherry is to appreciate the humour...however the level of humour is very low.

First one:

Happy person, destructive person. Simple juxtaposition with the happy person losing.

Second one:

Hunter becomes the hunted. Simple transition.

 

Something infinately more humourous than either of them is:

 

There is a plane crash on a desert island, the only surviours are and Englishman, a Frenchman and a Japananse Man.

The Englishman instictively takes charge of the situation saying 'It looks like we are going to need shelter, as everyone knows the English are the best Carpenters in the world, after all we built the Spitfire Plane in World War 2!'

The French and Japanese man agree to this, the English Carpentry skills being amazingly good.

The Frenchman then says 'And I will look for herbs and food for tonight, as everyone knows the French are the best Chefs in all the world, after all we entertained the Germans for years, and never made them mad, during World War 2!'

The Englishman and Japanese men agree, French Cooking skills are truely amazing.

Then the Japaneseman says 'And I will look after the supplies, as everyone knows the Japanese are the best in the world, after all we planned Pearl Harbour!'

The Englishman and Frenchmen agree, the Japanese are experts at stocktaking and supplies.

So the Englishman goes off into the forest with his pocket knife, the Frenchman goes off into the forest with his herb bag, and the Japaneseman waits in the camp for the other two to return.

 

Several years pass and eventually a plane comes to pick up the surviours, when they land they are amazed to see a huge mansion with a spry man sawing wood on a patio area, its the Englishman!

'Hello! Its so good to see you have finally found us'

'Yes, we never gave up, are there any other surviours?'

The Englishman nods and takes them to the back of the mansion, where a vast garden has been made, and sure enough the Frenchman is pushing a plow, furrowing the land for seed, when he sees the Englishman and the other he stops and comes over.

'If only I had know you were coming,' The Frenchman quaffs 'I would have made a great feast for you.'

The others laugh and then ask the Frenchman 'Were there any other suvivours?'

To which the Frenchman replies 'There was a Japanese Man who said he would look after the supplies, but when we got back to the camp on the first night he had disappeared. We tried looking for him, but couldn't find him.'

They all look sorry for a moment, thinking about all the people who died when the plane crashed and the Japanese man too.

The Frenchman cooks a feast and the Englishman talks about how he was going to expand the mansion in the next year, but finally, after much feasting and talking, they leave, looking back one last time and go to the plane.

The Frenchman says 'John,' for that was the Englishman's name 'you should go first, for if you had not taken charge on that first night we might both be dead now. I used to think the English were arrogant, but now I see your wisdom.'

The Englishman smiles and says 'Pierre,' for that was the Frenchman's name 'thank you for feeding me and providing your herbal remedies all this time. I used to think the French were arrogant, but now I see your wisdom.' and then he walks up the ladder to the plane. When, suddenly, the Japanese man jumps out and shouts 'SUPPLIES!'

 

It is immensly funny when spoken aloud because of the long, detailed story which is suspence building, especially to anyone who knows anything about the Second World War and wordplay.

So even though it is only a very simple joke, Supplies to Surprise...essentially a joke about the Asian Accent(Though in this example it has been modified to be a joke within a joke, told by the Japanese man...Since Pearl Habour was an amazingly good Surprise...and since the rules say disparagment is wrong, so I have avoided it just in case our definations of disparagement vary)...It grows into a powerful piece of humour.

Far more so than the inherant humour that occurs as an evolutionary responce to changing circumstances, Happy to Sad and Hunter to Hunted.

While the first one is obvious, though more appreciable if you know her, the fun part of the pedobear comic is not only what she does to him, but also that he is scared because of a pervious encounter.

 

But my computer wasn't overheating, I tested that the first few times and I actually though it was cool compared to what I'm used to, and the fact that it only does so while playing games (more precisely GMod and Fallout) and stops whenerver I raise one side of it just makes it wierder.

Do you check your internet connection or the Total Bytes used whn you load those things? "Ghost" programs on your computer could be slowing it up, and the angle could be explained by the games needing internet connection, getting slowed, and then some "virus" May get triggered, like a compression bomb one.

[Seraphi]

Have you checked the motherboard? Sounds like the same problem I had where the stuff they used to stop the heat from the processor reaching a point which will cause it to shut down to protect itself. In this case, it might not be loose enough to make it happen instantly, but the extra processor speed needed to play games may cause it to go over the llimit.

 

Basically, it means your computer think's it's about to die, so shuts itself down and then goes "Oh dw my bad" when you turn it back on.

 

This would also explains the sideways thing in that it may be loose enough that it slides back into place when tilted.

[The_Mather1]

One of them has no multiplayer function and both are cracked, the computer is pretty new and the internet connection is stable, there are no viruses on it as far as any of the schedueled searches can say and there are no errors that CCleaner can find. The only physsical damage to the computer is a slight dent/scratch at the top from when I dropped an AC to DC power suply on it a month prior to the strange behavior. I have not installedf any background programs on it and the only active programs are the MSN (sometimes turned off), FF (sometimes closed) and the actual game. And to my knowledge the computer has no internal gyroscope.

[Earth]

Well, go and do what ross said and take it apart (Slightly). I'm mopre experienced with virus removal and constructing a computer, and making sure i can debug anything that i download, like music and online games. Fallout, i think, has a Scoreboard system, and G-Mod uses intranets up to put all the objects you can have there.

[archimage_a]

Well...I would say either that you have damaged it through a power overload or you have damaged it in some other way.

 

 

And no, the same joke being repeated in a slightly different way doesn't make it more funny.

[Seraphi]

If there's nothing malacious in the software, it sounds like it must be a hardware issue to me.

[The_Mather1]

Can't notice anything resembling anything loose when I shake it. :)

Anyways it's too random to be that, in GMod I can blow a few nukes and it barely laggs, then while I'm just walking it'll start blowing, and then it might just continue or it'll eventually shut down. It even managed to play Fallout for maybe three hours before randomly stopping too... luckily Fallout has a temporary autosave for each time you walk in/out of a building/important room/building section.

 

And as I've played GMod the last hour I can't say I've noticed and odd behavior/poor performance, I'd rather say it did so better than ever, for once I actually gave up playing before GMod did (implying that GMod crashes a lot).

Any of you guys play Minecraft?

Don't.

 

 

 

Just don't.

 

Anyone who posts about minecraft below the line below is an absoloute [cabbage][bleep]. We don't want another dwarf fortress thread, people leaving the tavern and stuff.

I like Minecraft. I recently installed the biome mod, which is pretty damn awesome. I then found a massive desert and built a temple to the sun god decorated with glowstone harvested from the Nether.

 

Iconic, this is literally a thread for offtopic discussion. You may not want people to talk about things you don't like, but you cannot stop them.

I want to play minecraft, but i can't due to me not having money/the sites PayPal being in German.

It's an inordinately epic but theoretically simple game of awesomeness, Vixion.

 

I made a step pyramid steep enough that nothing can ascend it except me, riding the waterfall from the base.

Stick 'im in a room with a guy who always either hates the topic they're talking about and/or tries to change it. Wait until he starts screaming, then wait another 5 hours before you chuck him in the loony bin.
