Not everyone does this to steal from the artists/creators. Sometimes people just don't want to link to a site if they aren't sure it'll hold up from the traffic.

Plus, this person probably just stumbled on this by accident (notice the smaller size and hosting by tumblr?) - I'm know I'm not going to do a special search for the original source of everything if I ever want to post it on Reddit.

I always wonder why a female will ask this, all it will do is make you fear and judge me

[–]icecreammuscles 6 points7 points ago

Sometimes we ask because we just might have dirtier fantasies than you do, and we are digging for a possible excuse to entertain one...

A dramatic misinterpretation

[–]rabidkillercow 1 point2 points ago

But ask yourself, are you really larger than a stack of pinecones? Or bristlier?

I don't get it. Could someone please explain?

[–]latticusnon 81 points82 points ago

The woman is asking her partner if he has any sexual fantasies and he immediately replies by asking her to shove an armful of pinecones up her butt, which he had handy. The implication is that this had been on the forefront of his mind and he was instantaneously ready to answer the question if asked, which is what the humor derives from. It also could be interpreted as playing on the stereotype that men are more sexually devious and women who think playing out a fantasy will spice up their sex lives don't want the real truth as well as the absurdity of many sexual fetishes.

In addition to what latticusnon and Deddad said, Three Word Phrase is sort of an anti-humor comic – that is, a lot of the time the humor comes from him playing off your expectations about what a comic should be, so where you're expecting a punchline, he won't have anything, or maybe just a minor movement or a continuation of a previous joke. Examples: 1, 2.

Comedy is all about the unexpected – a lot of people say that humor comes from that brief moment where your brain is trying to anticipate what's about to happen next, but then something else happens. You laugh during that moment where your brain is trying to backtrack and catch up to reality.

So, in this case, the punchline is that there is no punchline – the reader expects that either the man or woman is going to make some remark, or the woman is going to freak out, or something. Instead, the man just tries to nudge things along in blissful oblivion.

So basically, the real joke is what latticusnon and Deddan explained, and then on top of that the punchline comes from the strip subverting your traditional expectations of a comic.

Really?

Well, woman asks if her SO has any fantasies. She's feeling a little shy about it. The man immediately says something bizarre and painful. Before she can even reply, he is pushing the pinecones over to her for her to do it.

The humour arises from the surprising reply, particularly as it's so sudden and he's obviously had this planned for a while.

I do too, that's usually how I end up dating them.

[–]twinkiehouse 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's like this: women are the stuff of poetry. Men are so nasty that this comic holds a large grain of truth.

[–]noctrnalsymphony -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yes, although to be fair the pine cones are an exaggeration. We're bad. We're not that bad.

Someone needs to download five tb of max hardcore in 1080p

[–]noctrnalsymphony 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That's not an equitable, representative sample of what all men's sexual appetites reflect.

Although perhaps still a good use of five tb's. I better get started.

[–]twinkiehouse 0 points1 point ago

What I get from my jockularity is that patrons of r/funny are a finicky bunch. Here goes:

This joke is not a non-sequiter it has a larger social context and the exaggeration of the callous desires of men is what makes it funny in the first place.

Two summers ago I climbed Mt. Massive in Colorado. Not too far from the summit, I have the insatiable urge to shit. My bowels were ready and it had to be done. Unfortunately, I had nothing to wipe with. Lo and behold, I was leaning against a Lodgepole Pine tree, and it had hundreds of pinecones on it. Those pinecones worked like a charm. Much better than the oily leaves I had used earlier.

I can usually stifle my laughter. This comic caught me so off guard I actually had to walk out of the office for the first time to laugh. The 2 panel punchline is really relentless.

FUCKING HELL, learn to include the source link in your submission! 4 out of every 5 comics don't have any source listed and are taking away attention from their rightful creators. If you don't know the source, just say so in a comment or something and someone will find it for you so everyone will know where it came from.
