why the fuck would you add a trollface?

[–]Keoni9 9 points10 points ago

I didn't even notice that. But I agree that the trollface is really unnecessary and almost vandalizes the original image. The trollface is an overbearing, laughtrack-esque cue to the netizen viewer that they should be laughing at an image. Its absolute lack of subtlety really does not jive with the dry, simple presentation of the joke in this editorial-style cartoon.

Because otherwise you wouldn't realise that Moses was engaging in an act that Jesus might consider annoying. When I first saw this image I assumed that Moses and Jesus had mutually consented to a display of water-related miracles. Then I saw the trollface, and realised the comical error I had made; Jesus, in fact, was not aware of Moses' plans to part the sea beneath him! You can imagine how this knowledge enhanced my understanding and enjoyment of the picture, as I can now appreciate it on the level intended by the author (who, for whatever reason, expected people to be able to recognise "trolling" without heavy-handed visual cues).

/s

But really, it reminds me of political cartoons. You liken your opponents to "fat-cats"? Well, why not draw them as literal fat cats dressed in suits carrying bags of money, possibly taking a lollipop from a child! And, just in case your audience is unsure what that incredibly complex visual metaphor stands for, write "fat cat conservatives" on the cats and "the public good" on the child. Now your audience will understand all the subtleties of your brilliant imagery.

Jesus and Moses are playing golf one day. They get to a particularly tricky Par 4, with a huge water hazard. They drop their tee shots on the beach, and Jesus reaches into his bag to pull out a five iron. Moses says, "Don't you need more club for this?" Jesus replies, "Naaaahhhh...I've seen Arnold Palmer use a five-iron here all the time."

Jesus lines up his shot and hits the ball, which gets about 2/3 of the way across the pond before splashing in. Moses raises his staff, the waters part, and Jesus walks across the bottom of the pond to retrieve his ball. He drops it on the ground and picks up the five iron. "Jesus," Moses asks, "Don't you think you should have a bigger club?"

"I'm telling you, Arnold Palmer uses a five iron here all the time!" He swings, hits, and the ball travels about 3/4 of the way across the pond before....Splash!" Jesus mumbles something under his breath. Moses raises his staff again and Jesus walks back in to get his ball.

He lines up the shot again. Moses protests one more time. Jesus says, "I'm telling you, Mo, Arnold Palmer carries this water all the time with a five iron!" Jesus whacks the ball for all he's worth, and the ball gets about ten feet from the shore when....Splash!

Jesus yells something unintelligible. He throws his club to the ground. Moses raises his staff but before the waters part, Jesus regains his composure and says, "It's OK. I've got it," and starts walking across the pond to retrieve his ball.

By now, a couple of foursomes are backed up behind them. One of the newly-arrived golfers walks up to Moses and asks, "who does that guy think he is, Jesus Christ?"

"No, he thinks he's Arnold Palmer.

Try googling "Moses Jesus fishing" and your first four results are there...

There. If you want the version where he calls Moses a cunt I can find it on my old laptop later.

I'm a liberal and I found the "a Socialist, an immigrant and a Muslim walked into a bar" joke funny. Because it's funny. Funny stuff is funny regardless of your beliefs.

Maybe they are hanging out in heaven. Heaven is a great place for lulz and trolling.

Moses parted the red sea.

Moses had sex with a woman when she was on her period.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that Jesus did not have sex with anyone.

In terms of imaginary dick sizes, I think Moses' would automatically be the largest.

I definitely read that as "Moose vs Jesus," and was trying to figure out how a moose would walk on water.
