VG Cats

[Valda, Adlav and Samiam: the Jacked-Up Trinity]

This thread is for the discussion of the awesome and hilarious VG Cats webcomic. Love it? Hate it? Never heard of it? Fantasize about it at night? This thread is for you!

So... let's start talking...

[Saithis Bladewing]

I swear seeing a thread like this awhile ago, but perhaps it was my imagination...

Anyways, VGCats FTW! One of the only 4 comics I check regularly.

[Valda, Adlav and Samiam: the Jacked-Up Trinity]

Yeah, VG Cats rocks. It pissed me off when it bashed Inuyasha a few strips ago. That's forgivable, however after their parody of the PSP commercials. That was just funny cuz it was so damn true.

[Flabbicus]

too bad the hobo is gone...

"Shteve get off tah line!"

[Old_el_Paso]

It didn't bash Inuyasha, it bashed the people who keep sending requests for Inuyasha.

[Dispozition]

What the heck is the VG Cats webcomic...someone plz inform me.

You must not have Google installed on your computer. Go install it now ;D!

[ElfLad]

VGCats is quite possibly the funniest furry strip. Too bad it updates so little.

Go get a face full of Alien wing-wong! Lol. Me and my bud Omniperv used to say that to each other at the bus stop. The reason you don't know who Omniperv is, is because his post count is 1. Yeah.

Lolz, Scott DID bash Inuyasha. Hence, F*CK INUYASHA! And the various smacking around of poor plot and etc.

I don't have a problem with that though, I thought that was great. It really is DBZ for girls.

As a matter of fact, I don't (JK,JK)...But good point.

Gosh darn slow dail-up...waiting for comic to load...But thanx for the link, Emperor Valda Zolrane.

[HabbakukUnknown]

vgcats...the answer to life problems, but in furry cats, sick jokes and hobos. What can we not learn from you?

I pay a lot for cable internet. I'll never go back to dialup.

I'd rather go to the library.

[Dispozition]

Can't stop laughing now the comics are loading, must have been the 8 windows i had open...

BLASPHEMY! I hate it when people compare every action anime with energy attacks to DBZ. Granted, I loved DBZ all the way through (GT was subpar), but it just bugs me that people judge and anime based on how similiar to DBZ it is. On that note, Naruto sucks.

[Valda, Adlav and Samiam: the Jacked-Up Trinity]

Scott seems to be focusing on Kingdom Hearts II as of late. Aeris as Axel. Gold. Pure Gold. He even managed to work a KHII joke into a Wii-bashing strip. That's refreshing seeing as every gaming comic writer and their uncle has made fun of the Wii by this point.

Hee hee hee... He wasn't knocking energy attacks, energy attacks are cool. He was knocking the idiotic fanboy/girlism shown by the fanbases of both. Oh yeah, and DBZ sucks.

Nice double post....

>:( VG Cats has nothing to do with people dressing up like animals and having strange, fetish sex with each other!!! NOT..... AT....... ALLLLLL!!!

Wuh..WHA? I don't think that was being talked about at all....

Weird... get your mind out of the gutter! ;)

[6079smithw]

Furry is a creepy (although, it is, to be fair, more or less harmless) fetish for dressing up like an animal and behaving (as far as I can tell) oddly that rose to prevalence with the internet. It's a pretty strong association with the word 'furry' at this point, and if you didn't know about it, I suggest you avoid looking into 'BBW', 'Vore', 'Golden Shower', and probably a God-awful number of other things I didn't have to know about before google.

[Casualgamer]

I know what furry implies, thank you very much. I don't think that was what he meant though.

To add to the list, St. Louis steamer..... :o

It's not that funny. Almost every joke hinges on someone being stupid/evil or a situation being outrageous. Infact, a good lot of the comics are simply "HURR HURR I AM STUPID" and the reaction of another character drawn out for eight or so panels.

I check it anyways, but that's probably because I have nothing else to do.

Im not sure if you should be shot or hung for that comment, better plan, set Krug on you! Speaking of Krug, havent seen him in ages.

[Casualgamer]

Why not go with all of them? Hell, I'll flayed, roasted, and deboned to the list!

Just kidding. Your opinion is your own, but if you don't like something, I find it asinine that you continue to read it.

[Darius Midnite]

Oh god! VG cats are so friggin' awsome!!!11!
I usally drop dead laughing when I read it...

"Why do you say things you know will hurt me?"

[Zann]

My avatar text is, coincidentally enough, from VG Cats.

Aah. Brilliant.

[Jibar]

This comic has put pee sack into my regular vocabulary,
And I was wondering why Aeris was dressed as Axel,
I haven't played Kingdom hearts 2 yet though, so I'll not really know why until October.

[Saithis Bladewing]

Ah, such classic comics, where to begin?

VGCats remains one of my most oft-quoted comics, and its so hard to choose favourites...

Still, I think this remains my favourite strip.

I think I quote that more than any other one, and it causes gigglefits even today. ;D

EDIT: Also, on the top of the Inuyasha comic strip, yes Scott did make fun of Inuyasha, deny it all you like. However, I personally believe the only reason he did it was to piss off all the fangirls who kept emailing him going "OMG INUYASHA COMIC PLZZZ" as hinted at *cough* in the first two panels. ;)

Mind you, I enjoyed Inuyasha for the short time that I watched it (though I could see it wasn't going to be one of my favourites, it wasn't a waste of time), and I loved that strip. It's added the term *MONOCLE* to my online vocabulary. ;D

Im not sure if you should be shot or hung for that comment, better plan, set Krug on you! Speaking of Krug, havent seen him in ages.

Allow me to prove my point. Here is a list of the suggested first comics and my thoughts on each of them.

#78*
Aeris inbreeds chocobos, which produces defects. Also, chocobos have sex. Hilarity.
#89
The joke here is that Leo is stupid. Perhaps I'll need to play Prince of Persia to grasp the humor.
#63
Again, Leo is stupid. He is violent in this one, as well. This is, apparently, humorous.
#58
Leo is stupid, and, as a result, gets killed by chickens. (or Cuccoos, for the Zelda-ly correct) How creative.
#53
Humping corpses! I can't stop laughing.
#87
In this case, it's two stupid people. I consider this one more clever than the others, but it's still not great.
#24
Violence is hilarious, don't you think so? I suppose it's fitting for the game it depicts, though.
#114
I'll give this one some credit for being somewhat creative, but it's still not funny.


Every one of these is an example of how repetitive it is.
Ha ha, he is stupid.
Ho ho, what an outrageous situation.
Hee hee, stupid people in an outrageous situation.
Rinse and repeat.

Webcomics based primarily on humor should at least keep their humor fresh, not re-use the same few jokes over and over in different contexts. VGCats has its moments, yes, but, as a whole, it's not very funny to me.
I suppose you find it amusing, though, so my argument is useless.

*I'm going by the number on the comics, not the number in the links.

Just kidding. Your opinion is your own, but if you don't like something, I find it asinine that you continue to read it.

The art style Scott uses appeals to me. Also, as mentioned above, I have nothing better to do.
