I've been following this since page one, but had no desire to post until now. Chapter 3 got boring, but it's picking up with all of these amazing twists. I've been inspired to make some interpretive fanart of Rob myself. Sorry that it's MS Paint.

Seriously guys, don't track down every detail of Lazerbot's life please, I don't care. I just want to read his silly comic. And if you do feel like you need to know more about him, you are super weird.

I agree with this statement. Praising "lazerbot" online leads to awesome comic strips. Searching for other aspects of lazerbot online will most likely put an end to the fun (look at CWC/Sonichu).


I was really hesitant to give lazerbot praise at first. Chapter 3 got really dull and boring, and figured that the first 2 chapters were a sort of "a stopped clock is right twice a day" thing. These last 2 chapters, including stunning revelations and twists have had me on the edge of my seat for days now.

I love you Lazerbot. I hope you liked my fanart :allears:

Lazerbot, who reads this thread, might stop updating if suddenly our praise turns into a Tim and Eric flame war.

I was passing through Boston on Saturday and happened to be able to briefly meet up with an old college buddy of mine who lives in the area. We spent about 3 hours discussing Tails Gets Trolled.

Like, legit debating you might find on a TGT Wiki (which needs to get made):
-How would tails return to save the day?
-Why was Kario named Kario and not some other generic Italian name like Giuseppe?
-What incredibly deep psychological complex did Mario's mom have for that lifestyle?
-Where can we score some "smart weed?"
-How were some characters geniuses and others dumb as poo poo?
-Will the three splintered groups come together or fight each other?

The entire time we were laughing about it like idiots. Lazerbot has brought us amazing things. Greatest among them, community.

God bless you, Lazerbot :patriot:

I can't tell if he's really bad at perspective, or if Mario and Elmer are supposed to be smaller than Shadow and Silver. Either way, I love it.

Tails Gets Trolled is my daily routine. I don't care about any of the other threads I have bookmarked, I don't go to my daily/weekly webcomics anymore. It's just the Tails Gets Trolled thread all day every day forever. :f5:

Unnamed underbite troll was my favorite of the trolls. :smith:

Lazerbot, if you're reading this, you're writing pure gold here man. You're able to make me feel for these characters. I am actually sad that the unnamed underbite troll died. Bravo, sir. :golfclap:





Edit: Why is it that whenever someone dies, someone else always comes out as being gay for the departed? I'm seeing it happen a lot, with the smaller trolls.

So, all the villains in Batman are actually good guys but all the good guys were actually villains?

Were they all actually good guys though? I figured it was Alfred being an even bigger version of Ra's al Ghul with all of the authority figures and family members under his control... like a vast conspiracy to keep Bruce Wayne/Batman feeling down. Perfect mass trolling in Gotham. The other villians were probably just small-time trolls getting in on the action to piss Batman off...

The more I think about it, Alfred probably bullied the Wayne parents into hiring him in the house. It was probably a horribly abusive relationship. What a mastermind.



Also, thanks for the avatar dipwood!

This is absolute truth right here. I tried to explain it to my youngest brother last night and he just gave me blank stares the entire time. I don't think any amount of time on the internet prepares someone for this, never mind hearing about it second hand.

Last Sunday I tried explaining this to the chef I work with at my weekend job. He's a middle-aged goofball who's usually on top of internet memes. I was trying as hard as I could to explain it.

Best I could muster was:
- In the Lazerbverse Trolls are IRL insulting cartoon characters.
- Cartoon characters try to defeat the trolls through peace/violence
- Troll king appears. Half of them die around this point for various reasons
- Rob, the greatest character ever, has no ears but knows exactly the right time to say "what?" and when there's trouble.
- Bugs and Daffy are secretly gay lovers who get murdered for getting in the way
- Splinter group consisting of Elmer Fudd become pseudo-trolls
- Elmer Fudd is actually a necromancer who reanimates Bugs and Daffy to do his bidding

He looks at me and responds with "Wait... DeviantArt? Where people draw all those lovely pictures?"

I'm like "YES!" :dance: and realize what I just responded with. I regain my composure and continue, "But this is different. It's the only thing of DA quality that you WANT to see more of."

I'm gonna give him a tinyurl of the imgur photo album link that's now in the OP on Saturday.

Same here. The problem is that there are so many different characters I'm worried that people may not know they're all from the same source. If only gang tags were allowed again... I'd lobby hard for one that said "Troll Slaiyers" :allears:

I think they were chosen based on who drank the blood... just a guess.

I love how the dark lord obviously wasn't paying attention to the attendees he was handing out power to. He had several drunk, high "bros" (seriously, that's what they are) just walk on in, who hadn't heard of him at all, and just gave them the powers cos they wanted to get wasted.

This is amazing. Amazing amazing amazing. I love the amount of avatars this comic is creating. They're so far apart, random, and unrelated that I'm always worried people won't realize the lovely MS Paint-esque drawings are all related.

It's going to be the biggest AH HA moment for someone who has noticed the avatars before they find this thread. I almost envy them, but at this point in the game I've become a thrall to Tails trolling tale and can't imagine not knowing about it and checking the thread daily.

I agree. This thread has become the only thing I'm checking regularly anymore. The PYF Macro thread, CAD Mock thread, Dominic Deegan mock thread, Strange Fanart thread... I've let them go by the wayside for the past week or so. But TGT? Before work and before bed.

Does anybody regret grabbing a TGT avatar too soon? They keep getting better.

I do to a certain degree. I hope Batman isn't another "took a dump and a nap all day" throwaway, but will have some hilarious stuff happen.

The way the comic/thread is going, I feel like I should have taken a Loony Tunes avatar, but I'm sure it'll swing way back the other way soon. This is exactly why I wish we could do gang tags still.

Lazerbot must have studied writing and storytelling. He's just too good at his pacing, jokes, nuances, and remembering when to reintroduce concepts touched upon.

I like to think of Lazerbot as the internet's version of Lady Gaga: A Jewish Illuminati conspiracy that rose from the artistic underground who was sent to tear down bullying and trolls through mass-media.

I hope pastor Rapcore Mario and pastor Elaborate Soul Patch make a reappearance, though.

I'm hoping and praying that Rapcore Mario is actually Mario's dad, Kario, before the drugs and whatnot. The resemblance is too uncanny given the amount of backstory LB has given his characters.

What's the timeframe of this flash back? I'd love to see Father Kario turn to drugs and trolling because of the neutral's.

I'm mostly a lurker of this thread these days, and I hate to say that I glossed over most of the dialogue in the filler cos I couldn't be arsed to focus on jpeg artifacted word bubbles.

That said I joyously celebrate the return of our favorite troll. Honestly I hope Lazerbot goes completely stereotypical-anime-flashback with the filler and shows us that Bite Under Troll gains his own demonic powers that allows him to come back from the dead later on as his fully-sentient self... And teams up with Emler Fud. :allears:

The Library of Congress collects works that are deemed culturally important and must be preserved. Nobel laureates are conferred due to contributions to humanity. We need to establish something as the anti-laureate and nominate TGT for its ability to deconstruct and reassemble cultural icons into a completely new paradigm, one that even though wrong somehow feels normal and proper. Lazerbot has somehow managed to subvert and invert our ability to recognize corporate mascots and licensed characters as a complete "other." I cannot see a bag of Cheetos the same way, and Chester Cheetah is forever "Cheeto Man," a Denzel Washington "Training Day"-esque mastermind.
