: Funniest Comic


Xaenyth
To date, I believe the funniest comic is when Elliot introduces Ellen to their parents. His father's reaction was, by far, the funniest thing to ever come from a webcomic.

So... what's yours?

To me, it was when newly-female Elliot used her "adorable" face to get the school administration to help her out: http://www.elgoonishshive.com/story.php?0152

"I feel so dirty..."

Runner-up:

In fact, the whole Sister storyline up till the trip to the government facilility started was hysterical. Then it led into a riproaring adventure story! Now that's good writing!

I likeed the one AFTER Elliot introduced Ellen. the one where there parents are talking to tedds dad and acting as if they've alwas had a daughter.

this and the one before it trying to work what ellens relationship to elliot actually is.

i find it interesting they all come from the sister storyline so far.

My favorite's 281 with 282 in 2nd place. And it is interesting how all of them are from the syster storyline.

Major Kerina
:p You two already got my favorites. 282 is by far my favorite (anything that deals with the odd psychology of Elliot and Ellen talking to one another is my far favorite) and the beginning of Tedd's consternation with not being given enough time to explore new forms, 139.

Kerina, on ClanBOB's forums (where I'm allowed to use a bigger avatar), this is my avatar: http://www.creativemistake.com/images/teddavatar.gif

Major Kerina
how do you make the file fit?

And can someone morph that? That'd be so funny to see Tedd moving (especially when he/she's doing that :)).

Deathscythe13x
that is a great avatar

ClanBOB is on ezboards, no file-size limitation.

As for morphing... I don't know how to do it, but that's the effect I was going for when I did the transitional fades.

Major Kerina
It's a really great avatar :)

Xaenyth
Heeeeeeeeee! ^_^

Major Kerina
The biggest problem would be the last transition between the second to last and the last.

Emoore
Considering how fast I blazed through the archives the first time 'round, I'd probably have to look back and review to find an absolute favorite, but...

The punchline of this one (http://www.elgoonishshive.com/story.php?0137) seems to stick in my memory...

Major Kerina
Yay, the second-biggest eye-poppage ^_^

alebann
My favorite is still the one where Mr. Verres tells Tedd that Grace can't get pregnant as a half-squirrel and Tedd can't stop smiling.
"I'd like to, but I can't"
Comic gold, people. Comic gold.

Major Kerina
That's one of my favorites too. I can't really name a comic outside of EGS I call my favorite. In fact I must say EGS is my favorite comic of all-time, professional or freelance.

Snowflake
My favourite is likely the one where Elliot first shows up as Ellen at school... the little doodles and the lusting over her... SO funny. :)

Major Kerina
Another good one is the Alternate Paths filler. So cool.

Verdauga Greeneyes
Now this is off-topic, exept that it's the funniest thing I ever read.

Matt_Katt
I didnt know death had a thingy

Verdauga Greeneyes
And this is the 2nd funniest thing!

**shudders**

Matt_Katt
:errr:

thank you for that HORRIFIC picture....scuse me while i go throw up

Major Kerina
I don't get it....

Lord Vader
That was...scary...

The world as we know it would cease to exist if Hercule was a real person...*shudders at the thought*

Major Kerina
I mean it's just a cosplay guy.
What?
Am I missing something?

tasselhoff
I'm with Kerine here. It's not like it's a guy cosplaying as a girl in a skin tight suit.

I get it, but that's a poor example... find pictures of "Sailor Bacon" and fear for your life... @_@

tasselhoff
Okay its not like it is Sumo wrestlers cosplaying as the sailor scouts.

I have seen that and don't ever want to see it again. *shudder*

Major Kerina
Mean for the character he's portraying he's pretty darn good. ^_^

Swarm
I think the scariest thing is the fact his face is almost an exact match...

My favourite comic has to be this one:

http://www.elgoonishshive.com/story/EG0230FA.jpg

for me it just sums up the whole crazy feel of EGS

Major Kerina
That definitely sums up the darkest side of EGS. *shiver*

This is another one of my favorites for various reasons which include humorous eye buggage :)

Thunder_Wolf
I liked this one, you may have to read the whole comic and play EverQuest to get most of the jokes in it, but it is still pretty funny when she roots hereself in this one :) ^_^

Wilowah
My favorite is a filler... always makes me laugh.

http://www.elgoonishshive.com/filler.php?0012

Then heres another favorite of mine... (And where I got my Avatar.:D)

http://www.elgoonishshive.com/filler.php?0049

Dr_Moreau
This has gotta be one of my favorites...I mean, I know what it's like to be desperate, but COME ON!

http://www.elgoonishshive.com/story.php?0155

Dr_Moreau
Man, I love that one...it's got one of the greatest quotes of all time in it...

"She's a man, you fool! A man!"
"Her chest says otherwise!"

:classic:

Wilowah
Aye, but those two guys in there seem to have dissapeared... will Dan ever show them again?

Dr_Moreau
What, you mean Matt and Rat? I don't think that Dan has ever totally forgotten about them...I expect that they'll make another appearance soon...

Ryvaken Tal`Draco
To pick out an absolute favorite is impossible, but http://www.elgoonishshive.com/story.php?0149 is certaintly up there.

http://www.elgoonishshive.com/story.php?0169 had the best quote, however.

Dr_Moreau
Wow, the Sister story-arc probably has the best comics in them...

This one I like too...Ellen shows a little attitude...

http://www.elgoonishshive.com/story.php?0187

Ryvaken Tal`Draco
http://www.elgoonishshive.com/story.php?0366

I think this is the only webcomic to ever have me hyperventelating.

Major Kerina
The current one? But it's not that tense...

Oh...from laughing?

Zmoore0890
It's too hard to just pick one.

To correct myself, It's too hard to just pick 20.

Major Kerina
Heheh...those are cool ones. I especially like 343...for umm..eye-popage. But no "KITTY!"? awww...great list though

Ryvaken Tal`Draco
Some of those were more eye-rollers than laughers for me, particularly the last one. A snicker and a smile to be sure, but that just doesn't come CLOSE to http://www.elgoonishshive.com/story.php?0149

Billybobgeorgebob
I like the first comics the best, when there was no plot to restrain the humor. But then again, I like all the random comics, like Elftor (http://elftor.com/), TrueNuff (http://www.truenuff.com/index.php), and of course Mr. Demaree (http://www.codepocahontas.com/20030423.htm).

Major Kerina
Actually there was a plot even then. It was little thin but it set many of things that would be prominent parts of the main storyline (Tedd being mistaken for a girl ---which is directly responsible for Ellen existing) and the hammer laws. Not to mention fleshing out Tedd's interest in odd things.

Ryvaken Tal`Draco
As I recall, after the first week they introduced the bad goo that was off the team.

Dr_Moreau
Well, I guess it doesn't matter to me whether or not they had a plot, because when I first found EGS, I went straight to the archives. Thusly, it was these comics which ultimately led to my EGS addiction (and subsequent bunnyhood).

Huzzah! :cheerful:

Zmoore0890
I have to agree that comic #149 is really good Ryvaken Tal`Draco. And the reason I didn't put in a whole lot of other comics is because I already had 21 listed.

Woodtopian
Not sure if this has been mentioned or not
