I read like 12, I couldnt stop. Probably like the worst thing I have ever seen in print.

I just kept reading one after another thinking I'd get to one that was mildly amusing...nothing.

Wow...

Wrong. They are sublime.

A few highlights for those of you not watching at home:

A guy arrives at a Halloween party, but he doesn't appear to be wearing anything goofy. But wait . . .
"I am in costume. I'm here as someone who actually wins at poker more than once a friggin year."

In another one, we see a guy in front of a house where it's snowing, talking to a fat man in white and red with a bushy white beard . . . oh, wait! The sign above the house says "SANTA"! It's Santa Claus! And what does he have to say?
"No, I can't guarantee you a Royal Flush this Christmas, because I'll be one of the guys you're playing against."

In yet another, two dogs are talking, one inside a house, one outside. The one inside says:
"I can't come out. I have to teach my owner how to play poker. It's a curse being a smart breed." Wow! That must be one smart dog! Or maybe he just has a dumb owner!

They also aren't afraid to branch into political commentary; at an IRS office . . .
"According to our records, Mr. O'Reilly, you tried to win a million dollars in a poker tournament. So even though you didn't win the million dollars, you'll be taxed on it." Ain't that the truth!

You can't teach the funny like this.

Not only that, their web designer is retarded. On the page with links to the cartoons, the link text disappears (changes to black on black) when your mouse is on it.

You guys are wrong. I laughed a lot, because they're so bad.

I've never seen a cartoon that makes the "joke" so obvious, and that includes Peanuts.

[tpir90036]

Wow. Those are unbelievably bad.

The only one that I saw which gets anything above 0 stars out of 5 would be #5. It is still only a 0.5 but it at least was an attempt at some sort of "Tee hee i am a degenerate and my wife hates me" type of humor. Something that someone might actually be able to relate to.

They don't even make any sense. It's not easy to do a joke and a punchline in one cell and have it be funny/ironic/whatever... but starting with a subject matter more interesting than poker might help. This guy needs to read up on his Far Side.

This obviously has too much poker content for OOT, but i couldn't help but laughing at the most complicated holdem starting hands system ever...
