‘LEAVING’ [OC]

[tempermentalanomaly@lemmy.world]

I think the joke is okay and would have worked if I didn't have to make sense of a number of confusions I had to work through first.

• number being represented by "nr". Nothing wrong here, just something that I'm not familiar with.
• the use of "floop" to represent the sound of the list hitting the floor
• the lines in the doorway representing, what I'm guessing are, stairs and not connected to the employee as I first considered
• the disappearance of the desk from one panel to another
• the path one manager in red took to get to the door from sitting at the desk

I don't know if anyone else has these problems to work through, but having had to work through them muted any enjoyment I would have gotten from the joke had that been absent.

...yes? I don't understand the confusion here?

I thought dude fell off a ladder. I was like, "no wonder he quit! It's dangerous!"

[satansmaggotycumfart@lemmy.world]

How high are you?

[samus12345@lemm.ee]

I think the lines in the doorway represent the list falling. It wouldn't make a lot of sense for the manager's office to be in the basement of a fast food place.

[samus12345@lemm.ee]

Oh. I didn't get that at all.

Hi, how're you?

*FLOFF*

I'm going to get downvoted for saying what everyone's already thinking but, fuck it: this is unfunny trash. The only thing worth a damn here is the effort OP clearly put in.

If this is American humour no wonder they elected a man stupider than the average rock.

[static_slabs@feddit.rocks]

This doesn't cross the "joke" bar, and it's quite low already.

TBH, I think Siegfried and Joy have elevated the trick to an art form. (Link is to a very short video example)

Damn, bruh. Who put sand in your Fleshlight?

[static_slabs@feddit.rocks]

Damn, bruh. Did you get a good deal on those upvotes from the bot farm?

[custardfist@feddit.nl]

Get laid, son. It might help you.
Good night.

I expected barrier aggression in doges but no barrier. I am confuzzled. Also no doges.

[yarharsuperstar@lemmy.world]

Aw that's cute lol

[canadiancarl@sh.itjust.works]

I don't understand the last 2 panels. They have me stumped.

He lifted the list up like a blanket and disappeared like people do when they're playing a trick on their pets

I'm also assuming he sprayed "essence of dog potion" in there for them to react like that but that's another thing

[sploosh@lemmy.world]

I feel like them acting like dogs is a punchline without a setup. There's nothing that links the comic to the dogs-freaking-out-when-someone-vanishes meme, so it just comes out of left field without landing comedically.

Imagine that this is a sketch people are performing. Do you laugh when the guys start barking, or are you confused because they start barking for no reason when a guy was just quitting?
