Can we add this picture of Ghostbuster to our library of variations of that one sketch from that gay newspaper?

Do you think, then, that you have tunneled through to this tactless post of yours, flicking through fickle layers of your own foolish filth, all for the sake of some sudden spark that would Illuminate you before your pissantly posting peers, ponder you?
Do you down deeply doubt the depths of how you degrade not just yourself but those denizens who drone around you, those dim lot who dully make play at decidedly decadent posts, all the while you decry the despondent waste?
Given that you are of such soundless views, it is greatly revealed that you govern yourself for no greater pleasure that grasping out for great gallantry than letting logical observations on man's true nature into your human head.

I can concede that point. Most of the humor is bland and gets it's kicks out of being "lol esoterica". I catch up with it if only because I have to meet my webcomic quota.
Dead Philosophers in Heaven is much better and I'll post a few after this.

It's not even esoteric. The references are basic as fuck--the better to exploit the barely-educated fanbase who derive a false sense of being learned just by "getting" and pretending to find the comic funny. I'll grant you that the people who read and enjoy these comics probably do think themselves select or elite.

OP's comic seems particularly bad, because everyone makes a special point to tell the audience who everyone else is. >>6429489 "Give me a break Marx..." "Beauvior, what the hell? You invited Nietzsche?!" It's the same tactic shows like Family Guy and South Park use to clue the audience in on what it "should" already know or would know if the comedy was better.

Cartman: Who the hell are you?
Brian: I'm Brian Dennehy.

I think mass entertainment is in a really awkward period, where public schooling has made the average 18-25 year old far more educated than those of the past, so the comedians are trying to play to them, but they can't do so without letting the rest of their audience in on it. Almost without exception, all current comedians will tell a sightly educated joke and then directly explain it right afterwards. It's awkward.

Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoorEIjAx0I at 3:50, since Jeselnik actually seems to think most people don't know the plot of R&J. "People who read," like the play isn't one of the most popular world-wide.

They almost backpedal, apologizing profusely for even mentioning anything close to something you'd encounter in a classroom.

Christ man chill the fuck out. Some people (myself included) occasionally read the comics and like it and not because HAHA I GOT THE REFERENCE! I don't think any of them are supposed to be particularly informative (even the information in the "Didn't Get the Joke?" thing at the bottom is only like... a paragraph long for each philosopher.). Sometimes it's just amusing. Like I remember finding this one amusing the first time I read it (http://existentialcomics.com/comic/47).).

Maybe you're right and some people say they enjoy it because they think it's "highbrow" or some shit, but this kneejerk reaction is dumb.

He's saying that in the illustration, the art is going back and forth between the players as in-character and out-of-character. I don't get what he means by "metagaming" and I don't think there is any implication that Marx's beliefs only hold in the game.

Yeah, I get that the pictures are switching, but I don't get the rest of his assertion.

Half the joke is the difference between their IC and OOC appearances, but that really doesn't mean anything else. The characters are supposed to be more fantastic versions of themselves (in rand's case she imagines herself as younger and more attractive)
