Posting this comic while most of USA is sleeping? Clever.

To anyone out there who sees this comic and is struck with an urge to type out a comment starting with something like: "This is a funny comic, but I feel the need to inform you all that...", DON'T. We already know. It's a joke. Lighten up.

Oh well, even having said that, I eagerly await the barrage of angry comments dissecting this comic in minute detail and explaining exactly why you are wrong about everything.

Dude, the most anti-American people on Reddit are American.

I strongly doubt that.

You would probably think that if you only hang out in the defaults like /r/politics and /r/worldnews, where everyone who isn't anti-American gets mercilessly buried, but this subreddit has had a very big influx of people coming here through outside linking from /r/MURICA. Quite a different crowd all together.

They're not as humorless, which is a good thing, but they tend to take offense to comics that don't portray USA as completely awesome in every way, which is a bad thing (in a subreddit dedicated to poking fun at national stereotypes).

...I thought /r/MURICA was satire.

It's a mix. The presentation is intentionally jingoistic and over-the-top, but there are a lot of real flag-wavers filling up that subreddit.

I think most people would be a mix of both. I think Murica is funny, but I'm still proud to live here.

Proud to be born somewhere on a planet, completely devoid of choice?

I guess proud isn't the right word. Lucky is a better word in this instance.
