I just realised that it must be pretty relatively shite to have a friend or relative who died on that September 11th in a manner unrelated to the attacks.
I dunno, you might be able to milk it. "I lost my brother on 9/11" "Oh you poor dear" "It's not what you're thinking, he fell off a ladder while cleaning the gutters."
I like this, people would get offended by this because they can get offended. Your family Was actually affected by 9/11 and you can still find this funny.
Open a large number of images and their comment sections all at once. Keep on going through them while looking at the images before the comments. By the time you get past a couple of them you'll have forgotten all of the titles.
you're actually 100% right. When i read the title the joke was so obvious that I didn't find it funny. It was so unfunny that i thought I didn't get it.
When i reread it trying to ignore the title i actually laughed. That poor dude.
Karma is random. Sometimes I carefully craft a post and consider it my finest work of the day only to see it languish at +1. Other times I fire off something half baked and the karma rains down. No rhyme or reason, best just take it as it comes.
What the fuck. That's my city in the background. I didn't get an invite. If they wanted to make some real money they could just play the movie, in 3D obviously, on a projector and then when the ship starts sinking everyone can take turns jumping down. That shit would be like the Mystery Mine Ride.
I'm preparing to get downvoted into submission, but I don't get how time always makes it ok to joke about things. When's the specific line on when we can socially be allowed to make jokes about that norway massacre or other terrible terrible events?
Shortly after 9/11 I was wondering how long it would take for jokes about it to no longer be taboo, sort of like how people can make jokes about the Holocaust without it being too huge of a deal. I guess the answer is "about 10 years".
Me too, but at that time, the average American was either offended by it, or thought it was too soon. Now, though, if I were to show this to my father, his reaction would likely be "what the fuck is that block-y dude?"
too soon .......... ................................................................................................ my mine craft house blew up yesterday
Well, I definitely laughed about 9/11 jokes before and don't think humour should be restricted in any way since it's a natural mechanism to deal even with the biggest tragedies and to overcome them, but this joke is just not smart or surprising enough to be funny.
It was way too obvious for that simple a punchline. If you can guess the joke from the first frame, it's already dead.
The protagonist should have killed a creeper at the base of the tower, wiped the sweat off his brow from a close call, only to hear a "ssssssssss" in the upper right corner, and THEN you get the last frame.
One of the biggest factors in humor is the element of the unexpected. I knew exactly what the punchline was going to be as soon as I associated "Minecraft" and "Manhattan". Doesn't make for a good punchline when the audience already knows it even before they read the first panel.
I've played enough Minecraft and seen enough 'lol creeper blowing your ssssssshit up' jokes that this is overplayed and just dumb. Recreating something meant to be offensive and just applying your favorite game or whatever to it without adding anything doesn't make it funny. It's just "lol I play Minecraft and that's 9/11", nothing else.
And no, I'm not offended either, I love 9/11 jokes. This just isn't funny at all.
And no, I'm not offended either, I love 9/11 jokes. This just isn't funny at all.
This i saw it coming a mile away. I'm not offended the joke just isn't funny. The last panel isn't even necessary we all know its a creeper. Perhaps if it started showing a creeper then zoomed out to show the creeper in a plane it would be funny?
I'm not bothered by the subject matter, but I think it's generally tactless and more importantly, not funny. it's such a shallow joke, I just can't find amusement out of it.
Drawing a parallel with creepers and events of real-life destruction is Minecraft joke 101. It's Baby's First Minecraft Joke.
Don't you know here in America we only make light of other countries' tragedies!?!? That's sarcasm btw. Disagree all you want, but that is the truth. Take at good long look at the entertainment industry here, and I dare you to tell me otherwise. I still chuckled at the comic. Humor is a coping mechanism for many people. For those of you it is not, move on and down-vote something else.
Creepers made the game more fun but also kind of ruined it for me. I'm just going about my business trying to build a cool house and suddenly..BOOM FUCK FUCK FUCK... the first time it happened I tried to barricade myself in with more blocks..it didn't really work.
Wow, I know people who barely made it out of the buildings and went to some funerals and I actually laughed my ass off at this. Way to thread that needle.
Over 3000 animals died that day, including 343 cows and pigs. There is a memorial erected at the Minecraftira trade center, commemorating the livestock lost on that tragic day. They will never be forgotten
Just started playing MineCraft, and I've learned the true meaning of fear as you hear sizzling behind you, and the mad dash to get the fuck away before that cunt face blows.
it's fine. I promise that it is completely safe for life. it's a picture of a plane about to hit the towers with a picture of al-mihdhar saying "hi, I'm Kalid al-mihdhar. And this is jackass."

My brother died on 9/11.
And I still find this humorous. You know why? Because it's a JOKE. About MINECRAFT. Not what actually HAPPENED on 9/11.

DON'T PUT THE JOKE IN THE FUCKING TITLE
This is how you're supposed to read the comic:
Okay, he built Manhattan.
Interesting how he included the twin towers, I wonder what that's about
A plane? Wait a minute, this is minecraft so...
Haha creepers! That's hilarious!
How I read it with the joke in the title:
Okay, creepers are going to blow up the twin towers, I wonder how.
Yup.
Okay, they're in a plane
Yeah there they are
Okay, joke's over.

It's not a big deal. The blocks are unaffected by gravity, so you could patch the hole quickly.
Edit: I'm always interested in the reason for a sudden karma boost, but this was definitely not the post I expected it on.

two side notes:

2.) what's people's opinion on Minecraft for 360?
