I can't think of a situation in which this comic isn't awesome. Whether it's a knowing parody of Sonic fanfic or the sincere scribblings of a grossly uneducated (and likely troubled) youth, it's still great- even if for different reasons.

The Pac-Man arc is evoking tears of delight. Just... perfect. And, as mentioned earlier, this panel is one of the best things ever.  Why is quintessence in a different font? No- I don't want to know. The mystery of Lazerbot's workflow is part of the charm.

Songbearer posted:I still have my doubts that any of this is real though I was on the fence at first, as well, but spending some time on his Youtube channel eliminated any doubt for me. NoneSuch posted:You guys are worrying me, it's just a cheesy internet comic which isn't very good on any level. It's funny but the enjoyment comes from the terrible plot and art, there really isn't anything to ruin here. The more characters which get added the funnier it is. I just like seeing how he's going to draw each one and their inevitable backstabbing/death. On the way Mario got way off course and happened to stumble into Dreamland where Kirby was facing Wispy Woods, and just when Whispy was almost defeated Mario threw a hammer at him and Kirby won! Mario grabbed the star rod thinking that the star on the top was a starman but just as Mario had almost lost Kirby, Kirby got the fire ability and torched Mario until he gave Kirby the star rod and to pay for all the mischief twelve maxim tomatoes and three pep drinks just for storage, but Mario said "What are pep drinks and maxim tomatoes?" Kirby replied "What are pep drinks and maxim tomatoes, what are you going to ask me next what is candy?" "no" said Mario. This is funny because it's bad. You can tell the guy had some thread of a story (however uninspired) in his mind, but he was completely incapable of expressing it in any kind of meaningful way. Someone did a Newgrounds animation of the story that highlights the narrative incompetence by employing a doggedly literal interpretation of the text. Again, the humor here is entirely because the source material is terrible. This is not the case with Lazerbot. You always know what's going on in Tails Gets Trolled and the plot goes in directions that are both surprising and satisfying. (I was genuinely stoked when Sonic went to the mountain and sought counsel with the Egg Man, for example.) I know that some people see this as evidence that Lazerbot is The Uber Troll, but again- just watch the YouTubes. The person who classified this as outsider art early in the thread really pegged it.

nerdbot posted:What's truly strange about this comic is just that there are some things that are absolutely hilarious by no intention of the author (the story between Bugs and Daffy is still by far the high point of the comic to me) but there are a lot of actual jokes that are completely intentional and still very funny ("I DON'T HAVE loving EARS") and it leaves me with this odd feeling where I like the comic both ironically and genuinely at the same time.

Also, this:  Immediately reminded me of this:  I actually had the impulse to deselect the picture when I saw Tails. Radiapathy fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Mar 23, 2012 |

Okay, which of you is over in the DA comments asking Lazerbot to illustrate the rape scenes as flashbacks? Please stop that, because oh god no. Also, nominal posted:The "im not hungry for duck and wabbit" panel belongs in the Smithsonian. God I love this comic

Amateur Saboteur posted:I will say I feel a strong need to comment how the more recent pages of this thread seem to have picked up a decidedly white-knight tone regarding the comic's author. It went from satirically praising his work for the plentiful laughs it created in spite of itself to giving off the firm impression a lot of people think this is in fact a masterful work of art and at all intended. TGT can't really be measured against traditional illustrating or writing because it certainly breaks most of those rules, however unintentional that may be. I think it's very much a gestalt thing; it's the cool story with characters we all know, written for no other reason than Lazerbot just thought it would be awesome. The art and writing style contribute to its awesomeness, because we get to see stuff flow from the author's mind without any filters or restrictions. It's raw and sincere and appeals to the kid in every TGT fan who sees beyond the technical limitations of the work. I'm enjoying the hell out of TGT, but I can't really compare it to anything else I like. (I'm frequently accused of being a huge book/film/music snob.) You might not be able to defend it as great art (because everyone has a different idea of what that means), but it's certainly great entertainment.

Simmerl posted:Lazerbot is an amazing writer, really. If you simply don't think it's funny, that's one thing, but he's going for a very different kind of joke from Lazerbot, and only using TGT as a starting point. This is more Tim and Eric kinda stuff.
