whos randall

[stormoftara]

@mawster88rsname Randall is the one at the far left, the guy from XKCD

[mawster88rsname]

well i knew that xD

but whats XKCD

and why does he not post comics on the explosm site?

[Alphabasicnumeric]

You'll have ton read the comics and find out, because words can't explain XKCD.

[TarkDaShark]

@mawster88rsname Because he likes making his own money, also XKCD has a different (smarter) style of humor

[3Nex]

the comic Randal is talking about from 8:15 - can you post me a link to it? cause i'm having trouble understanding the first few words so i can't find it.

[stormoftara]

@3Nex He didn't actually make it, the girl was asking something like "Did you guys ever think of a comic that was so offensive you didn't want to post it?"

[3Nex]

@stormoftara Oh okay.. I thought he did post it, only he had to like think twice before he did.. well in that case can you tell me what he said in "it was a comic that was just a shot of a ******** with like a CNN thing around it" .. i'm not from an english speaking country so i'm having trouble understanding those few words .. and i'd like to get the whole joke :) .. thx

[stormoftara]

@3Nex It's a 9/11 joke. He's comparing the planes crashing into the World Trade Towers in New York with a plane crashing into the 19th floor of Wayside School. If you don't know what Wayside School is, it's from a series called "Sideways Stories from Wayside School" So the main joke is that the school doesn't have a 19th floor, and the plane flew into the 19th floor, which is why the news team, CNN, is confused. Sorry if that doesn't make sense, it's a little hard to explain

[3Nex]

@stormoftara it does, it totally makes sense now .. but yeah, i didn't know what wayside school is so that's why it was impossible to pick out the words .. and understand the joke .. thx man!

[Squishyfur]

@stormoftara Yeah, I've found that humor can be the most difficult thing to translate because so much of it is cultural. Except for slapstick of course. The 3 Stooges can play anywhere.

[DaveBatista96]

[stormoftara]

@DaveBatista96 He lives in Ireland I believe, and couldn't make it to the convention.
