If you don’t understand this joke you’re not my friend anymore.
But for all my enemies:

If only he could have gotten Firefly a second season.
Yesss. Oh God, why have you forsaken the crew of Serenity?
CASTLE shoots in New York, does it not? If so, FAIL.
He was more into Enterprise back then, remember?
By getting the show cancelled God has prevented you from being forced to witness Joss losing interest in it and the continuity going to hell and him killing whichever characters he thinks will be dramatic/funny.
I’ve heard some lying liar say that he already did that, but I wouldn’t know–every time I’ve tried to watch Serenity, it mysteriously stops about halfway through. Don’t know why…
God can see the future, and saw that Firefly’s second season sucked.
Knowing this would cause a worldwide depression, he choose to cancel it early.
Whenever I see Wash’s death I imagine the movie is punishing him for overusing that line about being a leaf on the wind
“If you say that one more time I’m going to spike you”
“I am a leaf on the wind”
*spike*
“Didn’t think I would do it did you?”
Hurricane sandy hit new york because that’s where Dirty Dan is.
Apparently October 19th is stuck at the bus stop.
The Bus Station is flooded, one of the busses got burned by somebody celebrating the Giants winning the World Series, and the roads are blocked for powerline repair crews. That route is gonna be late. Real late.
With Aslan.
You and your wacky little love for wacky little shows…
No God hate Star War fans
And why the hell is my “S” key is Shorting out?
There was only one star war. Just a long drawn out star war.
And apparently there will soon be a seventh part of it?
yesbecausedisneywillowneverythingZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
I predict the new trilogy will star Tim Allen, Miley Cyrus and Lindsay Lohan.
…I’m not sure why He hates us. I mean, it’s not like George Lucas was doing such a great job with the property, and the last time Disney bought property with a gigantic fanbase it didn’t ruin everything. (I of course, speak of Marvel. And yes, I’m aware of the vast amount of screwups at Marvel since the purchase, but those pretty much the responsibility of the guys who have been in charge since before it was bought)
I think He’s mad that 30 Rock won’t be coming back for any more seasons.
New York and Atlantic City – Sodom and Gomorrah.
God hates Donald Trump.
He also hit DC and the more Liberal parts of East cost one week before the election and Gallup showing early voting is favoring the Mitt.
face it, Thor is a republican :p
Indeed, truly our prayers have been answered!
I don’t think god would end his statements with an exclamation mark
I want to be clear that i’m not saying that god wouldn’t say motherfucker
or devastate a city with a hurricane over a tv show
God ends all of his sentences with exclamation marks. They’re just not in the Bible because Ancient Hebrew and Ancient Aramaic lacked the proper punctuation to represent them.
One wonders how the hell NBC allowed that video to be released. It makes them look stupid, and not the endearingly goofy stupid 30 Rock depicts them as.
Also, Willis, please finish Joyce and Walky!. My curiosity about Rachel’s whereabouts are incredibly disproportionate to her importance as a character.
The Simpsons did that all the time, so there’s a successful business model to point the suits towards.
February 7th? Jesus Herbert Walker Christ. Man that’s a hell of a wait. Almost as frustrating as Cartoon Network shelving DC Nation until January.
The two things I was looking forward to in September. Why am I not surprised they both got crapped on?
I lol’d a little @ Jesus Herbert Walker Christ.
Oh cry me a river … urp … blech ….. sorry, thew up in my mouth a bit just then.
But really, if you are inconvenienced by a few months, just thing of the fun you could have had waiting for the next story set for Dr Whom.
think …. dang it ….. Must be sand in my net connection or something >_<
Dr. Whom – there’s something awesome about this. It’s like a grammar nazi’s Dr. Who.
And all you people are whiners. I buy DVD box sets and like animation – and don’t watch the shows until I can get them on DVD. I am DOOMED.
Community? Never seen it.
BURN THE WITCH
Y’know some of us don’t watch TV anymore. Like ever.
Hell I just got done cancelling my cable cuz I hadn’t watched TV in like a year.
And October 30th was officially the best day of the year. No, that’s not right – it was a terrible storm. But Community was given a return date. So many conflicting emotions!
Seriously though, my heart goes out to those affected – I’m definitely suffering from a bit of west cost guilt.
If it’s any consolation the west coast of Canada got hit with a pretty major earthquake a few days ago, so that side isn’t completely out of the loop.
Yeah, it was up in the Queen Charlotte’s though. I didn’t even feel it down here on mid Vancouver Island.
Wonder if Dave’s got the new transformers game and if he is gunna make a strip about it.
I was hopeing for a halloween strip DX
Love this one!
YOuy aare a sick f*** for doing this Willis
It makes me wonder: what is Historical Jesus’ opinion on gay marriage?
He probably thinks that marriage is an emotional and spiritual bond between people and not an institutionalized deal and that treating it as such kinda dampens the whole spirit of it…probably.
His opinion on any marriage is “why bother ‘cuz Kingdom of God is coming soon anyway.”
Interesting. If you have time, could I trouble you for the source? Or is it more ‘this is now this character I write works’ rather then Biblical?
Jesus in the bible was very clear at several points that you might as well abandon your family, discard your money, and basically run your entire life into the ground if that makes you a bit better off spiritually, because he was coming back soon and clearing off the slate anyway. It was an apocalyptic cult, remember.
As for the statement that he was apathetic about gays, as far as I know he never said a word either way on the subject. Now compare that to people nowadays that *do* think it’s a sin.
For myself, I’m far more interested in what he thinks of the fact he’s in 2012, close to two thousand years after his death, and how that relates to his personal definition of ‘soon’.
Ah. Thank you for the input.
I’ve noticed a certain tendency of some Christian subcultures to interpret pretty much any unusual natural occurrence as “God hates gays”. Snowfall in Mississippi? God hates gays. Hailstone shaped like Boutros Boutros-Ghali? God hates gays. Double rainbow? God hates gays.
I suggest calling this pathology “Westboro syndrome”.
That’s because prior to gay people being allowed to marry, no natural disasters of any kind happened in any part of the world.
More like Robertson Syndrome. He’s usually the first one to say is God’s wrath over the gays.
Grr, that should have <insert disaster here> between “say” and “is”.
So… “Community” is a television show of some sort?
Never heard of it(Community).
Heathen.
Nonsense, you’ve read this comic for long enough
I guess that means that one of the groups of random Christmas hires was from this show, I guess? Personally I recall this comic mentioning Scrubs a couple of times, but I don’t remember anything about ‘Community’.
(And I’ve never seen *either* of those shows. So ha!)
I gotta say, when I saw that Donald Glover (Troy) was going to be starring in a show back in 2009 or 8 or whatever, I knew that show would be gold.
You guys may know him as Troy, but I’ll always know him as the guy from DERRICK comedy. A couple of the extras from community were in that troupe as well. (youtube channel is here bitly.com/Rpss7u )
If HE can get Community back then can we ask for another miracle or two while we`re at it…say season 3 of Transformers Animated on dvd and Cartoon Network to stop killing good shows? They must pay for Thundercats and all the great shows they caused to end early.
I will never understand why TFA hasn’t been released in seasonal sets. That’s just…stupid. We’ve established that nerds like buying their cartoons, right? Same with MLP (that’s just leaving money on the table. If they made a nice seasonal box set of that, it would sell like crazy).
And let us not forget about Gargoyles Season 3.
And Animaniacs Season 4. Seriously. The completist in me keeps twitching.
Transformers Animated has been released in seasonal sets. It’s just that Season 3 hasn’t been released. There are Season 1 and 2 sets out there.
And to elaborate on that point, it seems Cartoon Network doesn’t think the Season 3 set is worthwhile, nor do they want to replay old episodes or give their rights back to Hasbro.
Transformers Animated has been running on the Hub for a few months now.
You can pre-order Season one on DVD of MLP FiM on Amazon right now so it looks like they finally figured that one out. It took forever though.
@HMRC4EVR
“If HE can get Community back then can we ask for another miracle or two while we`re at it…say season 3 of Transformers Animated on dvd…”
What level disaster do you think would be appropriate for this feat?
I’m thinking a REAL earthquake on the East Coast. Or sink California into the sea, but that might just be wishful thinking on my part.
“…and Cartoon Network to stop killing good shows?”
Whoa, whoa, whoa, there, buddy! Let’s not lose our heads.
Can the world take the type of abuse that a disaster on that scale would need to produce? What would that be?
Dramatic polar shift?
Second great flood?
Weren’t there some biblical references to bathing the earth in fire, or something? There you go.
Oh yeah! I forgot God promised to change it up in the future.
Very well, Willis. If we cannot be friends, the we must be enemies!
At least until Community goes into syndication, which seems to be the only way I get into sitcoms these days…
It’s not all about you, Ethan.
It’s high time someone laid down the law on him.
Like when that one friend of Sting had to tell him he wasn’t the Devil, he was just a really big bastard.
Good job, Robin!
Which friend, Stewart Copland?
Ug! I can’t remember that part from the interview! It was hilarious listening to Sting confess all this odd stuff.
If memory serves, in the interview, Sting was discussing how a celebrity can whined up in this social bubble where they are surrounded by Yes-Men and fans who never discourage the little insane, weird thoughts we have.
We rarely notice these thoughts because our peers will normally disprove of them and they don’t fester, but in the case of the celebrity, again surrounded by mostly people who blindly agree with them, these silly thoughts can fester and you start to be deluded.
So at one point, Sting really started to think he was The Devil (around the time before & after his role in Dune). It started eating at him until he confessed to this friend, at which point the friend gave him this odd look and goes “Sting, you’re not the bloody Devil. You’re just a really big bastard.”
After that Sting when “My God! You’re right! What was a thinking?”
It does sound like something Copland would say. Hmmm…
(Goes off to look if the interview is on YouTube or other such sources.)
Dab is the one true god!
ALL HAIL DAB.
… Looks like I’ll be keeping this gravatar for a couple more days. It’s so useful.
I heard it was caused by Obama to disrupt elections. Nevermind that that’s the blue part of the country, this information definitely influences my vote. I’m voting for the guy with the fucking weather machine!
Amen to that, brother!
Ya know, this is the problem with Mitt Romney.
He should have presented himself as a real-life Lex Luthor.
Seriously. Don’t refute the lies about Bane Capital. Embrace them! Say they’re true! Saw you did kill your employees with cancer! Even when you where not in the company! You’re just that EVIL!
Then say you’re also working on super-soldier programs and ray canon’s that will turn China’s money into rice paper!
Cackle like the cheesiest Cobra Commander, and give an evil salute to your red guard.
Spectacle, man! Americans want spectacle, not substance!
This is why President Obama is the best super-villain el President-y.
That coverup in the Libya 911 terrorist attack is classic stuff.
First Obama has the indecency to release his birth certificate , and now he organize a hurricane just to make Mitts views on FEMA look stupid.
Obama is really resorting to dirty tactics this election.
We have a super-villian in the office!
Meh, the last time I heard the hurricane machine was still in Republican hands ever since W destroyed New Orleans.
Of course I’ve also been told that hurricanes are the product entirely of human produced climate change and if Obama got his second term he’d stop them forever.
(human stupidity knows no party lines…)
For some treason i get [i]Personal Jesus[/i] (specifically the Johnny Cash cover) stuck in their head when historical Jesus appears in the strip.
Also, never heard of [i]Community[/i] but watch hardly any TV these days.
For some reason I get Personal Jesus (specifically the Johnny Cash cover) stuck in their head when historical Jesus appears in the strip.
my head, that is
“Trigger Warning”?
According to the internet, Community is the most popular sitcom on television. In the greater world, it’s a pop culture reference-filled show getting mildly respectable to poor ratings.
It has the most rabid fanbase of any current sitcom. As for the ratings, I lay the blame entirely on the neilsen system. It’s incredibly antiquated and does not take into account online viewership or post-broadcast DVR viewings. 25,000 people in a country of 300+ Million is a terrible, terrible way to determine ratings, especially since so so so many people have DVR’s and you could get the infor that way.
I’d find this comic funnier if I didn’t live in New York.
FML.
Yeah… I agree with this. It’s kinda hell outside.
“Kinda”? I had to commute without traffic lights.
I’m just glad I have a gas hot water heater, ’cause man, I can live without power, so long as I can shower.
And considering the amount of devastation in my area (NJ) and the fact that people were killed and seriously injured, not appropriate or funny at all.
Just because bad shit happens doesn’t mean it can’t be made into humor. If we avoided topics just because someone got hurt or offended we’d be limited only to “knock knock” and “how did the chicken cross the road.”
Welcome to comedy. Eventually someone’s gonna push your personal button. Accept it.
Actually reall comedy is just that – poking things that make you squirm or are inappropriate. The key is to say it one and if you get a laugh or a snicker you did good (and write it down for the monologue) else you make an apology and truthfully say it seemed funny until you actual;y said it.
The Sunday after the video came out I made the “That’s October 19th” joke on my friends’ podcast and neither of them got it… and one of them I KNEW to be a Community fan. It made me very sad. So sad.
Also? GOD’S A FLASH MOB!
I’m late because my power got knocked out by Sandy, but I just want to say that October 19th was my birthday!
Don’t you think this joke is kind of… inappropriate?
Which part? Mentioning the storm, bringing in God, or the fact that ‘Community’ is eventually coming back?
He knows what commedies the people want.
I, for one, think Disney buying Star Wars is a good thing. Sure, my only reason is that George Lucas will no longer have full creative control.
OH SHIT. Bad news: Lucas has always been lenient and even supportive of fan work. Disney just brands a “P” on their arm the first time and hangs them a second.
Yo Ho.
