He looks like Mr. Bean.

He interprets this to mean he looks like Sean Bean, whose character in Game of Thrones regularly said "Winter is coming."

The humorous irony comes at the end, when the other character, rather than contradicting the Mr. Bean lookalike, plays along with his resemblance to Mr. Sean Bean.

A joke has been told. It has been explained. It was, is and will be again...

Sorry for being too specific.

She may have won a bunch of stuff but I don't get it because I don't find her that funny.

Better? But it's okay to not like things because humor is subjective and I understand my taste is broken. Hope this helps.

It’s clever, cute and reference based, but the references are to, like, classic authors and weird fashions from history. The kind of thing where I say to myself, this was funny and I appreciate the perspective, but I never laugh.

Although if she had anything to do with inspiring the rappin nerd play I may have to consider her an enemy of the people.

The lanyard’s band is said to bear the logo of the Seattle Seahawks. Mind you, this is all conjecture. Anyone who has seen Hamilton thrice is way too busy workshopping with their improv group, Wonk’s Entertainment, to confirm.

It was interesting seeing grocery stores in the UK and Germany when i was over there because i mean they had prepared and canned and frozen foods etc and people bought them, despite every single person on the internet telling me that only an American would be so depraved as to not mill their own flour every day and etc.

We have literal children concentration camps at the moment, but Europeans mainly focus on how we call a fried piece of potato the wrong thing, etc. Being a petty hypocritical dipshit is right up there on the list of traditional ways to greet people in the uk/continental Europe.

It's a way of suggesting one is turning thought into action. In socialist rhetoric "praxis" would be, say, hosting a food giveaway for those in need as opposed to merely posting about it on an internet forum.

Socialism is gaining traction, and with it the associated vocabulary.

also, replying by saying something silly or exaggerated is praxis, or asking if it is praxis, has been common low effort humor judo for I want to say like three years now. now that we've sucked the air out of the bag containing this humor it should stay fresh for months.

I just keep the same old scratched up cheap glasses until my vision gets worse, or we have enough money that I can get an enthusiastic agreement from my wife when I bring up laser surgery. I used to buy stupid expensive frames and lenses and would fall asleep with them on, twisting or breaking them. I paid like $60 and agreed to take a brown paper package to a guy by the docks for my optometrist for these and they’re near invulnerable. Scratched to hell, but life is about learning to live with ever mounting disappointment and annoyance so that you can enjoy your old age.

Contacts would be pricey, permanents only, and my vision is so bad that I’m pretty sure I’d be shoving actual full sized glass lenses into my head.

I think the person who wrote this married my brother and is now living with my family while she follows her dream of doing community theater in the middle of Indiana & my folks pay and do labor to fix the pasteboard death trap straight out of a Johnny Dowd song that she acquired... somehow.

She seems extremely happy, so maybe this comic is on to something.
