  • fazik93, on 06/27/2008, -51/+4damn 4 minutes that's awesome
  • Strider11o7, on 06/27/2008, -63/+12I didn't even attempt to digg it first this time; it's inevitable that someone would do this and it's much more fun listening to diggers bitch about using RSS feed than the actual comic.
  • Beastmasta, on 06/27/2008, -16/+301I love your sister.
    • Strider11o7, on 06/27/2008, -37/+11Oh I get it! You quoted the comic, haha! It's a good thing the clever people over at xkcd come up with funny stuff to say so we don't have to.

        • slifty, on 06/27/2008, -0/+13Just sayin' -- not wearing condoms would be an example of something that WOULD make you more likely to reproduce... so like... Darwin would probably approve:(

    • coryvb123, on 06/27/2008, -3/+8Ha!, Good catch. I didn't notice that until I read your comment. XKCD is always good for a break from work.
      • Verz, on 06/27/2008, -28/+3You must have a pretty ***** job if you're amused by something like that...

        • danomagnum, on 06/28/2008, -0/+1I've never seen that before. It made me smile.
      • rentmitchum, on 06/27/2008, -2/+39Yes, I was gonna say, I'll take a burial in order to understand what that was about.. Maybe you have to watch TV to get it, like the submission title says Discovery Channel. I don't watch TV.
      • 4rp4n3t, on 06/27/2008, -0/+9Um, xkcd actually links to the youtube video at the top of the page with the comic on it...
        • porkdanish, on 06/27/2008, -0/+20When you read the comic in Google Reader instead of relying on Digg to alert you to the fact that it's a Monday, Wednesday or Friday, you don't get that bit.
        • 4rp4n3t, on 06/27/2008, -0/+9@ porkdanish - I don't rely on Digg, I read it independently... ;)
          Fair point though.
        • changyang1230, on 06/28/2008, -0/+1XKCD could have linked to the video via the comic itself, like what he did for rick roll once.
        • rentmitchum, on 06/28/2008, -0/+1I might be one of the only diggers who doesn't read xkcd religiously. I mean, it's good and all, and I did some programming here and there (all my school offered before I graduated was Pascal and Visual Basic) but I didn't get very far in math, and a lot of the jokes are math based. I'm more of a philosophy, science, pharmacology, astrophysics, comics, and console gaming nerd. I do enjoy the more science oriented strips and feel confident the best ones will be filtered to me through digg, so I haven't had it bookmarked yet.

          I'll add however that upon seeing the explanation for this one, I liked it enough xkcd will now be in my bookmarks toolbar.
    • FamousNerd, on 06/27/2008, -13/+7I put on my wizard hat and cape... So great.. Gotta love innertube inside jokes.

      http://bash.org/?104383 - one of the best IRC snips ever.

      • TheVirus, on 06/27/2008, -4/+3Except, I believe it was an AIM chat.
      • gofarhaveacigar, on 06/27/2008, -3/+2Gotta love screwing up when quoting innertube inside jokes.
    • WickEd101, on 06/27/2008, -11/+0I believe something that tries to be as timeless as XKCD shouldn't imitate something as annoying and randomly popular as a TV ad for Disc. Channel.
    • AWBoy666, on 06/27/2008, -0/+22Annoying and randomly popular? Every time I see that commercial, it sends shivers up my spine! It's such a fantastic video that shows both the beauty and complexity of our world. To those of us interested in learning about it (which you obviously aren't), that commercial speaks to exactly why we love the Discovery Channel.

      Best commercial EVAR.
    • Skooma714, on 06/27/2008, -1/+4All I see on Disc. channel is crab fishing and game shows.
    • KingGorilla, on 06/27/2008, -0/+3I love orange soda
    • chrismusaf, on 06/27/2008, -0/+1Link to Discovery's page on it where you can download the video, song, ringtone, and a cool desktop pic:

      Here's the direct HD video link:

      The best part is where Adam lights Jamie on fire. I always find myself turning up the volume when this comes on, and then singing it the rest of the day.
  • notregistering, on 06/27/2008, -19/+84I love these comments.
  • jaybol, on 06/27/2008, -25/+2i checked dsc.discovery.com/xkcd just in case there was a hidden code. i love a wild goose chase. i love this bottle of Sausal Old Vine Zinfandel before I even take my first drink. And now, I love it even more after drinking a drink.
    • Papajohn56, on 06/27/2008, -2/+13I hate your posting you pretentious ass
  • neuens07, on 06/27/2008, -16/+210I love lamp

  • carrognia, on 06/27/2008, -6/+86It's like... this could be the ending to xkcd... and everything in the world could be okay... I feel quite nostalgic now...
    • josereyes0, on 06/27/2008, -0/+23Yeah I got that same feeling but I hope not...
    • MarkTaiwan, on 06/27/2008, -5/+7well at least even if xkcd does end, I have You Suck At Photoshop season 2 to look forward to:

      • Daggity, on 06/27/2008, -0/+4I didn't know about this! Thank you so much.
    • tehstone, on 06/27/2008, -0/+2yeah, when i first read it i was like "oh no! this looks like the end of XKCD!"

      and then i was watching discovery this morning and saw the real ad.

      And everything made sense.
  • formergthing, on 06/27/2008, -14/+272For those of you that didn't get the robe and wizard hat joke: http://www.bash.org/?104383

    I guess it's a little obscure, ya?
    • mhuggins, on 06/27/2008, -8/+15Never saw this before...did someone do this based upon the Family Guy episode, or is it the other way around?
    • ColorBlind, on 06/27/2008, -0/+10Holy *****, I'd never heard of that before now. That was hilarious...yet so true. I really should write down their names.
    • Rainemaker, on 06/27/2008, -1/+30obscure maybe, classic definately.
    • joeleslie, on 06/27/2008, -1/+44Obscure?

      Welcome to the Internet.
    • yoris, on 06/27/2008, -5/+34Obscure?? That reference has been milked for all its worth on fark, slashdot and digg for as long as i remember visting either of those places... anyone who didn't get it should hand over their internet license at once.
    • GeorgeStone2, on 06/27/2008, -13/+9134 newfags and counting.
    • mercano, on 06/27/2008, -0/+10It also shows up on the rules sign for Randal's real-life ball pit. http://blag.xkcd.com/2008/02/27/ballpit-phase-ii/
    • elislider, on 06/27/2008, -0/+1i hadnt seen the tv spot so i didnt get the comic at first, the only part that did make me laugh was the robe and wizard hat joke. not obscure for us bash veterans
    • hotpuck6, on 06/27/2008, -0/+4damn,
      i haven't seen that in forever.
      That went up like the first day of the internet.
      • PHiZ187, on 06/27/2008, -0/+1Great, now I'm imagining it in Al Gore's voice. Thanks a lot buddy.
    • Jeremyz0r, on 06/27/2008, -1/+0Omg it's BloodNinja!!! I love his work, but that is OLD. I'm talking like the dawn of mIRC old.
      (Goold his name, find his pizza work~) :)
    • ROFLance, on 06/28/2008, -0/+1Oh I like that baby. I put on my robe and wizard hat.

      Fake, but funny as hell.
    • iofthestorm, on 06/30/2008, -0/+1Obscure? Welcome to the internet? Where have you been all this time, on disney.com or something?

    • pablo82, on 06/27/2008, -2/+2Probably not a good idea to watch the 'depleted uranium babies' video then, that would definitely kill your hard on for life. Or Terminator 3, both are equally depressing.
    • TVarmy, on 06/27/2008, -1/+3You forgot Yahtzee and Cracked.
    • wedges, on 06/27/2008, -0/+4you know lines 2 and 4 are supposed to rhyme, right?
  • DeadBabyFloat, on 06/27/2008, -6/+36Well, theres always 4chan in the comments, might as well be in the xkcd comic also.
    • EvilJelloMan, on 06/27/2008, -1/+9xkcd makes lots of 4chan references. I'm just surprised there aren't more people screaming about rules 1 & 2
      • fyrehart, on 06/27/2008, -2/+13HEY STFU DON'T YOU KNOW RULES 1 & 2?!
      • SwedishNinja, on 06/27/2008, -1/+8Rules 1 and 2 only apply during raids. 4chan isn't some secret underground hacker website, you know.
      • EvilJelloMan, on 06/27/2008, -0/+6According to faux news it is a secret underground hacker website, and also full of pedophiles.

        Ok, so the pedophile thing is pretty much true.
      • ic0n, on 06/27/2008, -0/+1queue exploding van
      • fucknuggets, on 06/27/2008, -0/+4 no that news piece was about 420chan. that place had the best /i/ for awhile. the kid that was speaking about anonymous was alex wouri. basically he would not leave us alone so we tracked him down and made his life hell for 6 months.
  • DroolingSheep, on 06/27/2008, -5/+124The discovery channel commercial this comic references is one of the best commercials I've seen in a long time.
    • markus7353, on 06/27/2008, -0/+7i agree sheep, its panoramic view of the world via discovery channel is just awesome...

      catchy tune as well

    • djepik, on 06/27/2008, -1/+1Geez sorry guys. I used caps lock for emotion / playing the role of someone who would love Orange County Choppers.

      Am I really the only one that seethed with anger when I turned to discovery expecting some enlightening programming, and was greeted with the rantings of some middle aged biker?
  • Cargo8, on 06/27/2008, -7/+34Cool. Referenced the Discovery Channel and also kind of a tribute to XKCD's past, too. Very cool.
    • TVarmy, on 06/27/2008, -1/+3Is it just me, or were the older XKCD comics better than the new ones? Or am I just too used to that site's style of humor, so now I know what to expect?

  • Mononuclear, on 06/27/2008, -4/+9I think this is one of my favorite xkcd's. When I first saw the discovery channel commercial I thought it was awesome and this comic is even greater. The references to the internet and past comics are great.
  • bosssmiley, on 06/27/2008, -5/+11Great xkcd homage to a great commercial...

  • mickstephenson, on 06/27/2008, -25/+12I see this thread is the circle jerk it always is. Randall Munro obviously couldn't think of a joke and just did a 'Pork and Beans strip' and the fanboys lap it up, typical.
    • EpicSelekta, on 06/27/2008, -3/+8Or, perhaps, a nerd (this IS an xkcd comic) realized he had such a profound love for such a television station that has left a such a deep impact on the planet, I'd expect to see shocked quartz or an iridium layer as a result.

      Being popular doesn't mean it's still not awesome.
      • Coven, on 06/27/2008, -0/+6"I'd expect to see shocked quartz or an iridium layer as a result."

        And thanks to the Discovery Channel, I knew exactly what you were talking about!
        • mickstephenson, on 06/27/2008, -4/+1Don't lie, you learned that from National Geographic if its not a reality show Discovery didn't make it.
        • scooper86, on 06/27/2008, -1/+2A very bad metaphor at least inject some humour into it.

          e.g.
          I'd have expected to see a burnt layer of jews and a pile of childrens shoes
        • mickstephenson, on 06/27/2008, -3/+1Jews rhymes with shoes..... LOLZORZ
        • ThreeDee912, on 06/28/2008, -0/+1I smell a troll...
      • mickstephenson, on 06/27/2008, -8/+4Discovery Channel is full of really ***** American documentaries with more drama than fact and about ***** nobody cares about (like American Chopper, a reality bunch of "manly men" quite obviously trying to hard, and making bike after bike after bike after bike after bike after bike and on ad infinitum). The only TV network on the planet that makes interesting documentaries is the BBC with Horizon and the various Wildlife Documentaries. The only exception to this is Meerkat Manor which is brilliant but still a reality show in the same vein as American Chopper.
      • ThreeDee912, on 06/27/2008, -0/+3@mickstephenson,
        Both of those shows have been moved of the Discovery Channel because they were not exactly related to non-fiction or science. American Chopper now airs on TLC, and Meerkat Manor moved to Animal Planet.
