As johnnysokko has recently shown us, we're all unfunny. So I figured why be angry about our lack of funniness? Why don't we celebrate it? There are many unfunny people out there looking for a role model. We could be those role models.

So, in that spirit, I am posting the comic I am least proud of. My worst comic. (This wasn't an easy choice; I passed up a comic in which I actually used the phrase Hammer Time to pick this one.) Here it is:

4070

So, I ask you all to join me in this, the Festival of Unfunny, and post your least favorite comic you've done. We'll have a drab ole time!

The envelope please... the award for unfunniest Boorite comic, non-All Your Base category, goes to....

Wanna hear something really pathetic? I know the strip is not funny, but I laugh at it anyway. I laugh at my own unfunny comics. It don't get no better than that.

Oh, I laughed at y'all's unfunny comics, too.

By the way, mine's the first unfunniest comic not to feature Gabe. So-- as of this writing, the unfunniest comics have a Gabe Factor (GF) of 75%. Coincidence or causation? Perhaps we can view GF as a measure of unfunnyness.

I don't know about my worst. This is top three, though. There's so much unmitigated crud on my page, it's hard to narrow it down to one.

What was I thinking here? Gangsta boys suck? Squirrels are cool? PayDay bars are good? Did I just want to use "obstreperous" in a comic strip? Does anybody give a fuck? It stinks. Badly, at that. Pee Yoo.

Gee, I'd love to participate, but everything I've ever made is hilariously funny.

Only my third strip (number 300) but that does not excuse its rampant unfunniness.

My first comic -- that is my excuse and I will use it as an excuse forever. Actualy, I find most of these "unfunny" comics to be quite entertaining. 8) I will now break that trend.

I told wirthling that him dancing around in a Wonder Woman costume wasn't going to do anything for me, but did he listen? No. So go bitch to him about it.

Not counting all the times I screwed up by hitting "Enter" too soon, I guess this is my worst comic. Worst as in boring...not "in bad taste." That's a WHOLE other ball of scat!

Oh, and why do I find the donkey porn comic so funny descolada? I think there's something seriously wrong with my head.

This is comic #27, my very first strip. This was before I realised that intentionally unfunny is NOT funny. What's scary is the fact that I actually made a sequel to this thing....

While I think that unfunny people would be better off adopting funny people as their role models, embracing our lack of comedic abilities is quite empowering. It's like the Special Olympics in three panels.

While I've only been at this for a couple weeks, I think this is when I hit bottom:

I hang my head in shame!

Obviously, I thought eye contact #1 was Soooo good, it deserved a sequel. Well, what doesn't kill us makes us more neurotic.

Well, it's a tough call, but I guess I'll have to say this is the one of mine that I like least. Not that I wouldn't do it over again if I had the chance -- the third panel was begging me to write it. But at least I recognize it's not funny.

Although I'd say about 90% of the strips posted in this thread so far are nothing to be ashamed of.

Are you kidding me?! Of all the supposedly unfunny comics in this thread, this is by far my favorite.

I especially like the line: "Ah, never mind, just shut up and give me a Pop-Tart, or a jewel case, or a condom, or whatever the hell those things in your arms are."

That's great stuff...

I agree with everyone who has made comments similar to "Huh? But I thought that was funny!"

If you're reading through a list of supposedly unfunny comics and you crack up laughing several times, you know something is a bit wonky...

...probably your own psyche, I admit, but then I never claimed to be sane.

Funny how sane people are never said to be "hinged".

Like everyone else here, I got a lot of laughs out of these unfunny comics.

Here's the one of mine that bothers me the most. It's the first one where I faced the wrath of the Enter button, but the worst part... it's one of my highest rated comics. What is with people these days?

And here's the most naturally unfunny one I did. I didn't bother to realize that if they don't know what the word means, they really won't get it.

Maybe Dr Pedantic could explain it. Heh heh.

Etymology: cunnilingus, New Latin, from Latin, one who licks the vulva, from cunnus vulva + lingere to lick; cunnilinctus, New Latin, from Latin cunnus + linctus, act of licking, from lingere

Here's one that's got really high scores (well, compared to the rest of mine anyways), and yet I still think is rather rubbish..

I've got about three good ones, I'll share em with you some day...
