Where am I? What's a Vertical? What isn't?


r/Vertical is a subreddit dedicated to the posting of vertical comics. Verticals are images composed of a set of frames displayed vertically with captions overlaid onto each of them. The final frame usually delivers a punchline. They are usually taken from popular scenes in films or events. Vertical comics contain continuity and are not simply memes stacked one on top of another. Still confused?

What can I do here?


  • Subscribe to the subreddit, so that entries appear on your frontpage.
  • Submit a vertical you've found on reddit or anywhere else on the interwebs.
  • Submit a vertical you've made yourself using tools like QuickMeme, but please don't post non-verticals from QM.
  • Read what's new and be the first to judge new content.

Garth Marenghi! God dammit I wish Adult Swim would play more of their back catalog sometimes.

[–]PanicPilz 2 points3 points ago

Last night they played an episode of the Boosh at around 3. Wonderful.

[–]Jack92 2 points3 points ago

More of their back catalog? There's only 6 episodes, and 6 episodes of Man to Man with Dean Learner, which is just as funny in my opinion. You get to hear Dean SWEEAR!

I mean all of the shows they've aired over the years on AS. They have way more series than timeslots so some don't get too much exposure.

They're all on youtube.

Upvote for real vertical.

However - you might get better punch if you tightened the wording. Here's an example, slight rework...

1: Charlie, why don't you have a girlfriend?

2: Don't need one! I have tons of sex at work

3: You work in a cemetery...

EDIT - Better 3?: I thought you worked alone doing night shift at a morgue...

Also, consider better text positioning/potatoshopping. The way you've got it it's a little ambiguous what text goes with what panel, it's awkward, doesn't read well. Better is putting the text on top of the panels. You know, Impact, white text, plus stroke of a few pixels. Since potatoshop. (Can it be done in imgur or quickmeme?)

EDIT - So it appears it's a repost. Well, an ambitious reposter would improve it.

Why did you use such a bad jpeg compression rate?

What movie is this, and what was the original dialogue?

[–]Neb3000 5 points6 points ago

It's from a british tv show call Garth Marenghi's Dark Place which is an hilarious parody of shitty 80's sci-fi shows. Think this is the original scene here
