- Slash0, on 12/15/2008, -9/+63Somebody explain WTF that was all about, please?
- annhltr, on 12/15/2008, -8/+47Remove '_2' in the url for the guide.
Comic sucks though. - FaithclubDotNet, on 12/15/2008, -5/+36Do not aim at face, may cause death... by obesity related complications.
- Sornos, on 12/15/2008, -6/+33I thought this was funny. I guess I don't have the taste that all the other diggers commenting here have. The alt-text is what made it for me.
That and the self-reference about the water gun http://xkcd.com/220/ - louiebaur, on 12/15/2008, -4/+28That's what happens when you have the same title of another story. The other story called Marshmallow Gun can be found here.

- ceredron, on 12/15/2008, -18/+39It's sad to me that nobody understands the ghostbusters reference. I thought it was chuckley, myself... a giant bill murray indeed.
All you xkcd haters are pretty sadly prejudiced, and fail to see that nobody gives a ***** if you didn't laugh. I didn't either, I just grinned and moved on with my day. - Dacvak, on 12/15/2008, -1/+19They made a reference to Ghostbusters with the whole "don't cross the..." part, and then at the end, it's apparently the Stay Puff Marshmallow getting pissed that they're shooting marshmallows.
That's what I got, at least. Still not funny. - devzor, on 12/15/2008, -2/+20Somebody explain why that is on the front page, please?
- bonk2k, on 12/15/2008, -16/+33Dear xkcd writer, Randall Munroe, when your joke boils down to "crossing the streams of guns that shoot marshmallows summons a giant angry stay puft man like in ghostbusters" please refrain from writing a comic about it. Just because it's a pop-culture reference doesn't mean it is funny. You are a funny guy, please stop convincing me otherwise.
- iofthestorm, on 12/15/2008, -1/+18Ghost busters?
- ceredron, on 12/15/2008, -0/+12so, you basically didn't like ghostbusters.
yeah, gtfo. I realize freedom of speech and all, but just gtfo. - Lemm, on 12/15/2008, -1/+12http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/warfare/753d/
- Meatloaf42, on 12/15/2008, -1/+11http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_loG8AQKtY
- RUGERSP101, on 12/15/2008, -2/+10I'd bother explaining, but its still not funny
- dafpoo, on 12/15/2008, -5/+12marshmallows + ghostbusters = awesome
- ImADharmaBum, on 12/15/2008, -1/+8Only nearly died? Minus one for evolution.
- morninglorii, on 12/15/2008, -6/+12Normally I wouldn't do this, but today...
http://www.*****.com/ - 2Deluxe, on 12/15/2008, -1/+6The comic wasn't that funny until I read the title tag - "Except in reality crossing a stream of marshmallows would create a giant Bill Murray." - then I lol'd.
- Opiebreath, on 12/15/2008, -0/+5I wish I was smart enough to understand XKCD, it really some seem hilarious.
- BavarianBuilt, on 12/15/2008, -2/+6Picked up my Marshmallow Gun from Woot last week!
- DarkoKun, on 12/15/2008, -1/+5I thought there was more to the joke. If it was just reference then it was pretty lame.
- Chrysalii, on 12/15/2008, -3/+6Gets annoying to see the same ***** comic hit the front page every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
and every day that one week. - morninglorii, on 12/15/2008, -0/+3But I heard they're going to make a special entry that says "WOOOOSH" just for you.
- inactive, on 12/15/2008, -0/+3Considered a deadly weapon is the UK.
- snavesinned, on 12/16/2008, -0/+2http://www.agoosa.com/images/marshmallow-shooter1. ...
- ThreeDee912, on 12/16/2008, -0/+2http://www.woot.com/Blog/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=6697
As seen on Woot a few days ago.
(And I still haven't gotten a BOC yet!) - DarkoKun, on 12/15/2008, -2/+4Was that god speaking to them in the end? Did they die with they crossed beams? Idk that's what I came up with.
- Unrealevil, on 12/15/2008, -0/+2Well in this case, it wasn't intelligence, you just have to know Ghostbusters.
- jimrooney, on 12/15/2008, -1/+3Didn't need the ghostbuster's stuff... first line was funny.
- silent7seven, on 12/15/2008, -0/+2My first thought was that Munroe was a Woot!er.
- ElectroStep, on 12/15/2008, -3/+5I usually like XKCD, I'm a huge ghostbuster fan.. but still, this was lame.
- danklogix, on 12/15/2008, -0/+2It's over with. Get over it? not that xkcd is boring but this is sub-par...
- Autodidaddict, on 12/15/2008, -0/+2Yes, shallow and pedantic
- lenninct, on 12/15/2008, -0/+2Who are you gonna Call?
- CMuffa, on 12/15/2008, -0/+2Are they not calling this the "chubby bunny" gun, to prevent kids from shooting themselves in the mouth? http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=chubby ...
- ShutItDown, on 12/15/2008, -0/+2Grammar owns you.
- Moegopher, on 12/16/2008, -0/+2I make almost the same comment as you in the other submission and get buried to hell.
- Mmedia, on 02/14/2009, -0/+1Wow lol funny comic. Marshmallow gun would be awesome!
http://www.onlinegungames.net - thpntofsngUlrty, on 12/15/2008, -1/+2That site is always the same.
- drgmdp, on 12/15/2008, -6/+7dear digg commenter, when you feel the urge to tell somebody else what to do in his very own site, just remember that you're just a guy commenting on digg and not doing anything better
- Mannyy, on 12/15/2008, -7/+8Finally a decent comic from XKCD
- jknevitt, on 12/15/2008, -2/+3Wow, for the first time in a while, XKCD just isn't funny.
- bonk2k, on 12/15/2008, -2/+3You're right. Having opinions is just so pretentious. Anytime someone does something that I'm not doing (no matter how ***** it is) I should just let them be. How dare I criticize the president. I've never been president, not even once. How dare I criticize a movie, the best movie I ever made was the one I made when first testing my camera. It was called "Hello. Testing 123" and it made it to Sundance, but didn't win any awards so I have no room to criticize other, greater films.
- mitch37, on 12/15/2008, -3/+4I usually like XKCD, but this isnt frontpage stuff.
- Opiebreath, on 12/15/2008, -1/+2Yeah, I read more of the comments and figured that out. I saw the movie like... a decade ago, so I forgot the little things in it.
- qazws, on 12/15/2008, -1/+2The Marshmallow does exist.
- johndajap56, on 12/15/2008, -6/+7Even after finding out what the ghostbusters reference was, i still find this not funny
- antdude, on 12/15/2008, -2/+3Ghostbusters
- Kitarist, on 12/15/2008, -3/+3So lets see. what is it about...?
