Bought your book...learned a lot, laughed WAY too much and I still have to fight people who want to ''borrow'' said book. I say " buy your own copy, you cheap bastard !" I work in a restaurant so my copy is greasy and sticky but I still sleep with it like my 1402 Nigerian tiger claw brass kriss dagger every night :) Kudos and please give me some new material to read soon.
Love "5 reasons to punch a dolphin in the face" ...."coz ur rite mfuka !
Love TheOatmeal. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who still loves Gary Larson's work, either. I can definitely see the influence, especially when you include "There's a Hair in My Dirt"
@jolareq I watched it again, maybe it was just the way it was cut, the second time around he was kind of charming. Might have been something that struck me as pretentious that day :/
My friend Calvin recently bought his book "5 Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth (And Other Useful Guides)", and everyone was croudng around him at school during reading time during the last couple weeks. xD It's an awesome book! He's soo funny! :D By the way, you can access most (maybe all) of the comics from the book on his website, theoatmeal,com.
I recently bought his book and it was so worth it! And surprise! He's hot! Awesomely awesome awesomeness!!! It's because of him the phrase "Jesus Rollerblading Christ" makes me laugh every single time. :D
hahahaha.... my hand was literally in a box of cheerios when he said, "i was the kid who never talked, uh I ate a lot of cereal...". the oatmeal is awsome!!!
i love the oatmeal! i went out today and got the book, now im just sitting around at home and i shout "bahahahaha, electrified ballsacks!" this dudes a genius
...SO THIS IS WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE! I've been reading your comics since forever ago and I LOVE them XD You have saved me from so many boring nights...like tonight :P
FOR THE LOVE OF THE INTERNET, WHATS THE SECOND SOOONNGGG (?! the only lyrics i could catch were 'this is a song about' and when you google it, IT DOESNT REALLY GET YOU FAR. THANKS.
also love how most of the comments on here are ZOMG HES SAO HOT! True enough, its just funny how stereotypes are so well embedded in our brains.
I like the style of this video. Being controversial, innovative, fresh! Those are big for getting traffic. Posting often also key, giving stuff away. Thanks for this!
This dude's pretty inspirational. I feel like I can relate to him. I wish I could have my own website and be my own boss. I've never liked the idea of working for someone else, doing the same job everyday for the rest of my life, and having no creative freedom. I'm going to try to be like him, and the internet shall be my partner in crime
Very cool to see somebody making a living doing something they love! Even cooler when what they love it to make me laugh. I often feel as though he's been reading my mind (and adding expletives).
Is he really that hot or are we females so stunned by the fact that he's an internet bigshot but not fat and acne-ridden that we find him attractive? Either way I think it's hilarious how shameless everyone is when they leave a comment about it. I wonder if he ever reads them and, if so, how he feels about it.
I'm 26 and I still haven't come out of my shell. Life sucks sometimes...so jealous about these people like Inman. Anyway, the Oatmeal is a great site. :)
Rebuilt my faith that the Internet could be a source for funny. A truly unique -- and howlingly funny -- sense of humour. Hat tip to you, Matt Inman. You've made some horrible days not so bad in the end.
Can anyone recognize the songs used in the video? I got Elvis' A little Less Conversation and Kites by Geographer at the end, but there was the song played when the Free Hugs comic came on and then that little guitar bit when the video transitioned to 5 Very Good Reasons To Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth.
this guy is my freaking hero. some of my grad money is going to as many posters as i can buy so i can plaster them all over my dorm when i go to college!
what made this even better was when the song Kites came on by Geographer. they're really underground. hey everyone. start listening to Geographer. kay.
lol I definitely bought the poster of "How a web design goes straight to hell" to hang over my desk at work. It rings so true every time I deal with a new project....
For a second I thought thos guy was also the guy who plays Dennis in "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". He seems like a nice enough guy...glad he's doing well
