Don't make bad comics.

A subreddit for creating and sharing rage comics.


Important Links


Ground rules (click for explanation)

  1. Do not downvote or report people simply for quoting the rules.

  2. Don't submit things that aren't rage comics

  3. Reposts are strictly forbidden. If you didn't make it, don't post it. Do not submit a comic again because it did not do well. A second repost will result in a permanent banning. There are no exceptions.

  4. Your comic must be funny. If it's not, it will be removed, even if it has a million upvotes. Whether something is "funny" is judged by the moderators to keep quality high. Try allrages.

  5. Posts complaining about other posts, including ones that have been removed, will be deleted. Sorry dudes, but this is how we're running the show to make sure only quality comics make the front page. If you're not okay with that, allrages is not moderated.

  6. "Comparison comics" are not considered rage comics and are therefore not allowed.

  7. If your comic is a joke you heard from your buddy last night, this isn't the place. Try allrages.

  8. Use the [NSFW] tag generously.

  9. Only moderators are allowed to make self posts.

  10. Popularity doesn't equal relevance, and upvotes aren't a measure of how much your submission belongs in the subreddit

  11. No comics over 10 panels or under 2 panels

  12. Don't mention your cakeday, karma, or upvotes.

  13. No blog posts. Blog posts, also known as Livejournal posts, are preachy, self-serving, and rarely funny. Use text sparingly.


FAQ

Why isn't my comic on the "new" tab?
Give it a second. It was probably caught by the evil robotic spam filter, but we've created an even more powerful robot to save everything from the filter; it just can take a couple minutes. If it still doesn't work, message the moderators with a link to the comment thread of the post to have it approved.

Can I be a moderator, too?
As much as we love when community members want to help out, we can't accept requests for becoming moderators, or we'd be overwhelmed with nothing but such requests. Therefore, requesting to be a moderator will actually result in you getting banned instead. When we feel we need more moderators, we recruit from a list of people we have identified as being helpful and positive role models for the community. If you want to be a mod one day, that's how you'll go about doing it.

How do I get flair?
Asking for flair is not an effective way to get flair, and will likely result in an undesirable blurb of the moderators' choosing being installed for you. This will not be changed by subsequent messages. If you really, really want good flair, find some impressive way to earn it.

I'm 43. All of the Pokemon references were bugging me, too, so I recently started playing Pokemon Blue just to check it out. It is a very fun game and surprisingly deep and immersive. Plus, I can play it on my Android during random downtimes. Highly recommended, you should check it out.

[–]RobotBuddha 1 point2 points ago

The emulation on android devices is pretty amazing right now. My phone's about a year old at this point and it can handle emulation of playstation 1 games with additional graphics filters thrown in pretty much perfectly. It's really a pretty awesome way to finally get into a ton of old rpgs, or rpgs that have been fan translated. Phone's always around, and one can just save state at any point to jump out of the game when needed.

[–]brandoncoal 1 point2 points ago

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

They've got emulators for Game Boy, GBA, NES, and SNES as well. You can play Starfox on your phone if you've got a mind to deal with the controls on your screen.

Yep yep. Easy as pie. I really don't want to get into emulators and roms and howtos and stuff, but if you have any familiarity with that subject matter then you won't have any trouble. On another note, my son recently went down to a local used game store and picked up Pokemon Yellow and an old school Gameboy for approx 20 bucks. That's another way to go. You know, if you're cool like that.

Yeah, where the fuck did that shit come from? I see it all over 4chan, did it come from there? Seems like it could have been originally an attempt at ironic juxtaposition... but then it kind of got lost and people forgot it was supposed to be a joke.

(The show is pretty adorable, though.)

[–]RobotBuddha 23 points24 points ago

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

That's pretty much it, right there. Started out basically just trolling each other with ponies. Then the people doing it got sucked in by the fact that....they really are damn adorable.

Also the amount of fanfiction describing pony cannibalism and torture makes the episodes amusing in many other ways.

[–]TheEhSteve 9 points10 points ago

Actually, it started out in /v/ where somebody posted a link to an article heralding that show as "the death of creativity driven animation" or something like that. It got people curious, a few people checked it out, and said "hell, this isn't half bad," which of course nobody expected. Its made and produced by some big names of 90s/early 200s cartoons, and the animation studio clearly has fun with their job as well. It's really rather good, combining a bit of childhood innocence that we all need once in a while with the same formula that was successful in cartoons a lot of us grew up with. (forgive the bias, actual brony here, converted exactly 10 people I know and my sister)

It spread like wildfire and the rest is history. If you told me in June I'd be watching this show, I'd have slapped you in the face. If you told me before I even knew about the show's popularity, I'd laugh.

Its really a phenomenon that you have to see yourself before you pass judgement, like I did.

What ninjadog said. It's by the same person who made powerpuff girls and Fosters home for imaginary friends, so she makes it pretty enjoyable. If anyone remembers Frankie (From fosters home for imaginary friends) That character was based on her.

the new MLP is made by Lauren Faust, the head behind "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends", one of the most brilliant cartoons of my generation. It's just plain awesome. Watch a couple episodes and give it an honest chance, forget everything you thought you knew about MLP.

No no no as I in some weeks / months ago the exact same thing. But I see that it's true that there is a deleted one with misspelled Pokemon so you probably really did create this one... So either it's an error in the Matrix or 2 people created the exact same comic at 2 different times. I guess I was wrong, sorry. ◔ ◡ ◔

Actually just two days ago I watched the first few episodes, and I have to say, as somebody who seriously did not get it, and as somebody who downvoted every my little pony post I could find....I like it. I'm not a mega fan or anything, but I understand why bronies like it, and I'm sure after I watch a few more episodes I'll be hooked and officially joining the community. Although I may get a new less frightening to ponies username...

As is our custom

And you'll find that the mods at /r/mylittlepony are the best mods in the world (well, maybe outside my sub). They're active, they're funny, you can ask them anything, and they're friendly. Heck, they tolerate me. You're going to discover that there is a section of the internet still filled with love and kindness.

I think part of it is the rejection of the "manly men" image to a "cute is totally okay" mentality. Would it be publicly acceptable to say you like the show being a straight ~20 male? Probably not. But why? Because society says so? Well fuck society.

The above is kinda what's going through their heads.

It's because reddit is primarily(or close to it) made up of geeky 18-25 year olds. This meant we were the target audience when Pokemon first hit. And while you know this just as good as anyone, Pokemon was a massive cross cultural event that permeated every part of being a 10 year old. We would play the games for hours, stopping on Saturday mornings, when getting new cards, and occasionally during school. It was something everyone of our peers did all the time just like us. It was also the first video game we played. It's our prototype that we subconciously compare all our games to. So it defines a major media outlet. Pokemon was our elvis

Yeah, it's pretty much this. I'm 22 years old, and I felt like I was the perfect age for when Pokemon came out (although my brother was into it too, and he was 24). It really did permeate every part of being 10 years old. We battled, traded, watched the tv show, traded cards, made up our own pokemon, and passed around theories about how to capture Mew (all of them false...although a real method was discovered a few years later), and the theories Missingno added a lot of mystery to the whole mythology. We had little events organized around the events created by our parents to trade and battle pokemon. Every year our school had a spaghetti supper, and that night would basically be pokemon night.

About 80% of boys in my school played pokemon, and more than that could name all 150 pokemon on sight. A significant portion of girls, too. It's one of the few things that nearly my entire cohort understands and I know I could connect with them with. Almost everyone my age will understand a pokemon joke...even though few people outside our age range will.

I imagine it's similar to baseball cards in the past...but much more so.

How I feel as a 20 year old browsing Reddit. You older people really like letting everybody know your age every time you make a post.

[–]JetSetRadioFuture 1 point2 points ago

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

You don't have to be 40 to feel that way, 30 is plenty. _^ Pokemon is one of the first major pop culture things that I was "too old" to really 'get' or be into, as I got to be an adult. It felt/feels odd! Gettin' old, I guess. Good thing I don't actively dislike it, it was so big and is now such a huge part of a lot of (also adult now) folks' fond childhood memories. =)

I'm 22, I still play the pokemon games, got white version this year! The games are just plain fun, always have been! I dont watch the anime anymore or play the card game but I did a ton as a kid. It has a very high level of nostalgia for me; pokemon contributed to me becoming a gamer and a huge anime fanatic!

I am 23 and I still love pokemon. Not as obsessed as when I was 11, but I still look up bulbapedia for references while playing HeartGold. I'm glad that Pokemon was around my childhood. Except that I probably spent $500 (At the age of 10-13!!) buying Pokemon cards

Pokemon was something I 'liked' and thought was ok when I was younger. I'm surprised it has last so well.

The cards and the games seem more popular than the actual source material though.

The cards somewhat annoyed me because:

a) People stopped playing proper playground games and sometimes just sat around, playing with cards. I mean, this was ok, but it lost the novelty pretty quickly.

b) The more money you convinced your parents to pour in, the better you were.

c) Idiots didn't know the rules properly.

Meh, as a person who's currently 19 I was in the target age group, but I only watched the show maybe 5 times, and I never played any of the games, or traded cards...don't judge me.

I feel the same way at 23. I really loved pokemon back in middle school though. The games, cards, and any collectibles I could get my hands on. I even drew tons of pictures of pokemon and sold them to my friends. Nowadays I can't even remember most of the different pokemon besides a few favorites. I guess I just got tired of it when they decided to go past the original 151 pokemon.

i think the thing that all the people who "just didn't get pokemon" are assuming the rest of us were fapping over the whole culture which, in some cases may be true (cards, show, what have you.) But i'm sure there are plenty of us out there who just appreciated it as a solid rpg franchise from our youth that still holds strong even today.
