Stripcreator In-Joke FAQ

Like any web community, Stripcreator has its share of in-jokes and one-note characters. If you find yourself scratching your head as to why everyone around you here finds a joke funny and you don't, either a) you aren't taking the right drugs or b) it's an in-joke.

In order to reduce your confusion, here are some of the in-jokes you are most likely to encounter.

Rotor Turbines and Gravitons

Cowboy Physics is one of the earliest strips on the site and a fine example of "pregnant pause" humor as well.

Cowboy physics by max 1-06-01

One day at the ranch... So I says, "Well, them rotor turbines ain't gonna generate gravitons by themselves!" Ha, ha! What the fuck are you talking about?

Legend has it that it was merely a test strip and wasn't indented to be funny at all. But anyway, people like to refer back to it. At this writing there are almost 300 strips that refer to gravitons.

TOBOR WILL CORNHOLE YOU NOW

What isn't funny about a red robot with a giant, telescoping phallus that likes to rectally violate people and can only refer to itself in the third person? Hmmm? His earliest fully-fleshed (so to speak) strip is here:

My first sale! by boorite 4-12-01

It's TV producer Yadahentai Mobukakke! Mr. Boorite, I am here to buy the rights to your gameshow idea, "Super Robot Manrape Endurance Torture Rally." Sheez, I'm so hosed on Old Crow and Benadryl, I'll sign anything. One condition: You are first contestant. Hmmm, let me think abou-- RAAAAR! TOBOR WILL CORNHOLE YOU!

He's pretty much a one-note character. But as a one-note character he's fun to throw into different situations. If you're into manrape, that is.

Asian Girls

Yes, those lovely little imps that stare out at you as you begin to make a comic. There are two main in-jokes associated with them. The first is the obvious one. Asian prostitutes saying, "Sucky, sucky five dolla'." The second is simply finishing a comic with just the default panel of the two girls staring out at you ironically. Why is that funny? Damned if I know.

Dr. Pedantic

Dr. Pedantic likes to correct people.

Tobor vs. Dr. Pedantic by boorite 4-25-01

RAAAR! TABOR WILL CORNHOLE YOU! Actually, it's "Tobor"-- "robot" backwards. It is a reference to an old B-movie serial called Captain Video. "Tabor" backwards is "robat," which makes no sense and is not funny at all. TOBOR IS GOING TO ENJOY THIS! Ulp.

Kaufman

Kaufman is a Stripcreator regular who is known for his awful puns. Others often use his forumusers character to portray him delivering particularly awful examples.

Kaufman physics by lara7 12-04-01

So then I says, those puns about Spankling aren't gonna degenerate themselves! Ha ha! What the fuck are you talking about?

Fuck

Fuck was a secondary ID someone used by andydougan make fun of trolls. Or maybe he really was a troll. In any case, he made some strips with the feetforears character saying something like, "wehn a man loves a women he NALES THE FUKKIN BICH." Yes, a perfect imitation of an adolescent noob. In the end, fuck took hold as a one-note character:

No, the correct answer is "Foundations of the Metaphysics of Morals". You are the weakest link. Goodbye! dam

Crabby Does Not Suck Dick

At least he says he doesn't. He said it many times in the forums, and it made its way into the comics.

Leave It To Tobor #2 by fuzzyman 1-10-02

Hey, Tobor. Is Gabe around? NO, CRABBY. HE WENT SHOPPING OR SOMETHING. Ah, well. It wasn't important. WELL, WHILE YOU'RE HERE, YOU COULD... HELP TOBOR OUT. How many times do I have to say it? I DO NOT SUCK DICK! YES, BUT YOU NEVER SAID THAT YOU DON'T TAKE IT UP THE ASS.

WASH AND WASH!!!

This dates back to this strip. It's not seen so frequently now, but it does creep up once in a while.

On the Job by gabe_billings 7-07-01

Well Sir, thanks for hiring me. I'm certain that I can excel in this position. So when does my training begin? RIGHT NOW JUNIOR MINT!!! JUST STAND OVER THERE IN THE CORNER AND WATCH ME DO MY MAGIC MOJO WITH THE CUSTOMER PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!! ...and I've also got a couple of pairs of slacks, and this skirt. Oh, and light starch on my husband's shirts. And be careful with the buttons. They seem to break alot of butto... CRAZY BITCH!!!! YOU DONT GET TO PICK THE THINGS WE DO!!!! WASH AND WASH!!!!

BUT THAT STOOPID BITCH LEARNED HER LESSON, DIDN'T SHE????? WASH AND WASH. THATS US.

Wirthling Sucks

This dates back to Comic Contest #6 which was run by Wirthling himself. The rules were that we had to make fun of him. So in fact the whole thing is his own fault, although it was helped along in no small part by Gabe Billings.

The establishment of Wirthling as an all-purpose target for insult humor was a milestone in Stripcreator history. It happened back in the early days of the site, when we were all just getting to know one another, and just dissing someone randomly would have been a bit of a faux pas. In running that contest, Wirthling gave us carte blanche to make fun of him for anything (although he probably didn't expect it to continue past the end of the contest), and so opened the door for a new type of humor that would be accessible to all forumgoers, no matter where they lived or who they knew.

Comic Contest #6 - Wirthling Sucks Big Time by gabe_billings 2-21-01

Well, wirthling poll results are in. Lowpass readers think he sucks more than cauliflower, Wayne Newton and cholera. 34 percent of readers think stoning is too good for him, and 83 percent would like to see him ravaged by woodchucks. Somebody even wants to see him sodomized by a donkey. That one kinda came out of left field. Guilty.

Mr. Sticks-His-Dick-in-Your-Ass-While-You're-Looking-the-Other-Direction

Not one of the more successful one-note characters -- perhaps eclipsed somewhat by Tobor -- but still a classic.

Comic Contest 22: One-Note Characters by Scyess 4-12-01

We want to walk quickly in the other direction now, Dr. Pedantic! Yes, Captian Obvious. Let us perambulate briskly in the opposite direction in an unassuming and inconspicuous manner. Get away from me, Obsequious Oscar, or I'll lock you in a room with that guy! That's a pretty clever threat, Antagonist Andy, but if it's okay with you I'd kind of like to follow the good doctor and the captian. Much to his chagrin, none of the other one-note characters ever really warmed up to Mr. Sticks-His-Dick-in-Your-Ass-While-You're-Looking-the-Other-Direction. **sigh**

The Perfect Marriage by ObiJo 4-16-01

...turkey on wheat, onion, tomato, hold the pickle... When Mr. Oblivious wonders into a home thinking it's a Subway, Christmas comes early to the Sticks-His-Dick-in-Your-Ass-While-You're-Looking-the-Other-Direction household. Running start in three, two, one...

Moh!

The skeleton stands against the background of an apocalyptic city and exclaims, “Moh!” Dating back to the early days of the site, Mohh Omlo is a hardy perennial among one-note characters.

MOHH OMLO AND HIS "AMAZING FREINDS" by Mentski 2-26-01

Hmmm, this is grate, isn't it? yes, yes it is. moh! Where did that bird go? Cuss!

Special Report by fuzzyman 3-16-05

This is a special report from SCN News. I'm Jake Jemima. Atomic bombs have been detonated in cities around the globe. Betty? Our own Gorton Fisherman is on the scene in Piscataway. Gorton? Thanks Betty. I'll be dying from radiation poisoning in a few minutes, but before I go I'd just like to tell Jake I'm sorry about the crabs. Back to you. Moh! Ha! Thanks Bob. I, uh... I picked up some crabs for him at the fish market and he never paid me back. Riiiiight.

Non-Sequitur Donkey

Pretty obvious and pretty funny.

Comic Contest 26: More Fun with One-Note Characters by Scyess 4-26-01

Mr. Oblivious meets the Non-Sequitur Donkey I don't know what the big deal about the "economy" is. *I* still have plenty of money. US currency is black and green, but other countries use different colors! Or do I? Maybe the money I have is the wrong color. Things that aren't in color are called black and white, even though there's also gray! Instant friends, their first conversation lasted for four days. Thankfully, you only have to read three panels of it. Wait a minute... where am I?? Gray dresses are pretty. I was young and pretty once... but never gray. Say, is that a jar of mustard?
