That hardly proves anything. If mine says the sky is yellow, I'll agree with her. Don't make her right, makes me too lazy to argue.

(to be fair to you, in this case it is a repost)

why do i like this so much? it's not that funny, yet i find myself laughing. I may have to reassess the state of my emotions.

[–]eyecite 15 points16 points ago

I do know that it becomes far less funny when you replace "just be like" with "just say".

Hope that helps!

Love,

DON'T PUT THE FREAKING PUNCHLINE IN THE FREAKING TITLE!

[–]microxerox 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think the rule should be changed. In some cases, you should not put the punchline, for example, if I the title to this was "we solve mysteries and shit" then it would ruin the joke, but sometimes, giving the punchline away from the start does not ruin the joke half way through, and some times, may add to the comedic value like some treasure hunter type shit.

So I suggest the rule gets the fuck out, and we let the vote system decide what jokes are ruined and what are not.

I was about to say the same thing, it could have been so much more..

[–]_pumpkinpies 27 points28 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I understand that people will always click imgur links, but why not give the credit to the comic author in the comments? You suck.

[–]nearlydeadasababy 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The way I see it is this, people get pissed off when people link to an image on a page with a load of ads and crap, they just want to see a picture. Or the image is the 5th one on a page (as many are on the comic in question). In general links and comments don't go well together on Reddit, it's either a link or text not the two combined.

So people take the image and place it on a site they know will be there.

There is also the very likely event that the person who posted the image has no idea where it came from.

Last of all I couldn't give a crap where it came from, and for the record does the person at marriedtothesea credit the original artist give he just sticks a speech bubble on it?

[–]_pumpkinpies 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I understand what you're saying, but then why is the top comment a link to the original website? Clearly there are some people who don't care about where it came from, but there are many more who do. If you don't care, then just don't click the link to the source if one appears, but don't claim it doesn't matter if the source is there.

I don't get why OPs don't do this...at the very worst they'll get comment karma from a few people who wanted to know the source, or respect that due credit is given.

Assuming, the OP didn't know where it came from, it takes about an extra 2 minutes (if even that) to do a reverse Google image search where it would pop right up.

Also, if I may direct you to the sidebar:

Rehosted webcomics will be removed. Please submit a link to the original comic's site and preferably an imgur link in the comments

Though it's not quite what the rules are requesting, rehosting to imgur and linking to the site in the comments achieves more or less the same goal.

As for Married to the Sea, the images it takes are public domain images and they aren't usually accompanied with an authors name. Still, they are making it their content with the speech bubbles, not just rehosting the same images.

tl;dr It doesn't take that much effort to find a webcomics author and less effort to link to the actual page, so there's not really any reason not to do it.

[–]nearlydeadasababy 1 point2 points ago

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

I admit my last point was a little flippant.

I wasn't necessarily justifying it, just coming up with a couple of reasons why people do it. Short hand answer is they are lazy and the viewers in general couldn't give a toss either way.

[–]_pumpkinpies 0 points1 point ago

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

Fair enough.

[–]Crasken 0 points1 point ago

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

The reason people insist on putting the origin of these comics is because not providing it:

  1. Fails to give credit to the original author's creative work, and

  2. Completely deprives the original author of any money he or she might have made from advertisements.

Has one had too much internet if one starts laughing because one knows exactly what the comic is before clicking on the link?

EDIT: Fuck you downvoters. I value my arbitrary internet points. Also, in case it is ambiguous, I laugh because this is one of my favorite Married by the Sea comics, not because it is a repost.
