You are About to Receive a Hug... [PIC]

lefthandedtoons.com — Picking the right type of hug to give is essential for success. I've actually had this happen to me in social situations too. Leaves you feeling a little awkward for a split second.

  • realunderdog, on 10/27/2007, -19/+6I'm confused
    • EvaMonkey01, on 10/27/2007, -1/+28No hug for you.
    • mydigga, on 10/26/2007, -3/+15It's OK, when two dudes hug it is often confusing.
      • Mattja, on 10/26/2007, -2/+2Yeah, you never quite know if you should be frotting or not.
  • macweirdo42, on 11/02/2007, -9/+82Hey, it could always be worse.

    • Hydroxyl, on 10/27/2007, -0/+8Ahh, PBF comics.

      One of my favorite sites to rediscover every year and read them all again. :D
    • MonarchWastxD, on 10/29/2007, -5/+11It could be worse:
      "You have chosen hug"
      "They have chosen stabbing."
      Aarrgggh!
      • po43292, on 10/27/2007, -0/+3That's funny, I don't care who's digging you down.
  • wild, on 10/29/2007, -5/+185Hugs, the new paper rock scissors.
    • da_bradler, on 10/27/2007, -3/+110I think you mean Rock paper scissors
      • sparrowkc, on 10/27/2007, -0/+5I always wonder why the hell some people insist on saying paper first.
        Rock was around before paper and scissors, and paper was invented before scissors. Rock, Paper, Scissors.
      • Kanidia, on 10/27/2007, -0/+1Hmm, I've heard some people say "paper scissor stone"
      • PunkRampant, on 10/27/2007, -0/+1Roshambo.
      • RadicalEdward, on 11/01/2007, -0/+1I'm curious why i made the same comment as you, before you, and yet i got -7 diggs (as of this writing) and you have +106? Damn you fickle digg users!
    • RadicalEdward, on 10/26/2007, -10/+3I thought it was rock paper scissors?
    • rand21althor, on 10/26/2007, -10/+3I've always called it Rock, Paper, Scissors.
    • Recyclable, on 10/26/2007, -12/+5Paper, scissors, stone if you're English :)
      • jsynnott, on 10/27/2007, -0/+14England disagrees with your statement.
    • b3mus3d, on 10/26/2007, -0/+3...where everyone loses! (or wins)
      it's like, the co-op version.
    • spidoman, on 10/26/2007, -6/+1Or Paper Scissors Rock, but that's the northwest version...
      • edwartica, on 10/26/2007, -2/+2Ummm, I'm from the NW and we say it Rock, scissors paper.
        • NorrisTwithman, on 10/27/2007, -3/+4Wow, Rock, Paper, Scissors everywhere in Oregon

          Anything else means the terrorists win
          • edwartica, on 10/26/2007, -1/+1Maybe I just grew up in a weird circle, because I'm from Oregon as well. Or maybe I'm being dyslexic. That's also possible. Its been a long day.
        • skankyBacon, on 10/26/2007, -2/+3I'm in Oregon as well, and grew up knowing it as "paper rock scissors," but I've since recognized the standard of "rock paper scissors," and adjusted accordingly.
        • jefferygomer, on 10/26/2007, -1/+1Oregon here. Rock, Paper, Scissors.
      • sgtbutterscotch, on 10/26/2007, -1/+3That's weird, I've heard it paper scissors rock and rock paper scissors. I never realized most people say it only one way...I feel like just achieved a piece of enlightenment.
      • uremomsnitemare, on 10/26/2007, -1/+1Represent Michigan UNH!

        rock, paper, scissors
    • edwartica, on 10/29/2007, -2/+3How about rock, scissors, paper, nuke?
    • svivian, on 10/27/2007, -2/+3We used to play "rock/paper/scissors/fire/water/stick".
      paper > rock
      rock > scissors
      scissors > paper

      fire > stick
      stick > water
      water > fire

      Don't remember all the rest but you can figure it out.
    • ispeakasian, on 10/26/2007, -0/+0yeah and what if the stick's metal? then water wouldnt do ***** to it... unless it was a really hot fire...
    • Procure, on 10/26/2007, -0/+2I think you mean the medieval version- Stone, Parchment, Swords...
    • antitab, on 10/27/2007, -0/+1I've come across a unique take that I'm not sure the mainstream-ness of: Cockroach, foot, nuclear bomb.
      Cockroach survives nuclear bomb, foot smashes cockroach, nuclear bomb kills foot.
  • tedlove, on 10/27/2007, -25/+5this is weak.
  • Bawk, on 10/27/2007, -26/+5It's like rock paper scissors for hugs.
    • TimeIsTissue, on 10/27/2007, -2/+3Don't know why you're getting buried... thats whats I was thinking

      /loggedintodiggyou
      • willr001, on 10/26/2007, -0/+3getting buried because ppl already said it. multiple times.
  • Azmeos, on 10/27/2007, -6/+1This is Tecmo Hugs
  • Carsonauto, on 10/28/2007, -5/+122I think I remember someone posting this around the time Lincoln was shot.
    • EvaMonkey01, on 10/27/2007, -4/+35Damn, how old are you?
    • RedHerringHack, on 10/26/2007, -14/+3But anyway, Mrs. Lincoln, What are you doing after the play?
    • 1773nium, on 10/26/2007, -4/+3Lies!! All Lies!!
      • edwartica, on 10/26/2007, -2/+3Or so the Germans would have us believe.
    • AmICoolNow, on 10/26/2007, -0/+2Lincoln wasn't really killed by John Wilkes Boothe, he was killed by JFK.
    • Cowfrommars, on 10/27/2007, -0/+1Wow. I think I've seen people say that exact comment about 4 times.
  • GuacamoleSan, on 10/26/2007, -9/+3Genius.
  • EvaMonkey01, on 10/27/2007, -7/+43Arms under for hugging a girl

    Arms over for hugging a guy (Man Rule #336 states - Hug can last no longer then 3 seconds and crotch areas have the be at least 2 feet apart from each other)
    • holygram, on 10/26/2007, -8/+3How do you hug someone and keep your "crotch-areas" 2 feet apart?
      • Jwoey, on 10/26/2007, -0/+10lean at the waist!
      • MeatyDoughnut, on 10/26/2007, -0/+19Skydiving formations?
      • X1Jack, on 10/27/2007, -0/+32Penis needs to receed far enough due to homophobia to actually invert the pelvis.

        Btw, EvaMonkey01, keeping your asses thrust out by trying to keep your crotches apart while hugging makes it look like both parties are gearing up for something that's probably the opposite of what they want to be signaling to the world.
        • EvaMonkey01, on 10/26/2007, -2/+19Hey, I don't make the rules, I just copy pate them on internet message boards. :)
    • fantasticFlan, on 10/27/2007, -0/+26Don't forget the back pat.
      • jefferygomer, on 10/26/2007, -0/+3Pat three times, once for each syllable in the phrase: "I'm not gay", or you're in a Sen. Larry Craig situation.
    • zeno60, on 10/27/2007, -0/+262 guys - best to go for interlock hug (left up, right down) and a fist pat on the back. Ears should not touch otherwise you are susceptible to fagify the hug. Crotch's coming within a foot of each other no longer constitute a hug, but rather a dry-hump.
    • RadicalEdward, on 10/26/2007, -0/+1Where did you find that?
      • EvaMonkey01, on 10/26/2007, -0/+2Either from some comedian on TV or from a "Man-Rule" post on the internet... I forget where exactly.
    • gatorchong, on 10/29/2007, -1/+26When hugging another man is necessary, I prefer to shake hands first and then hug while still holding on to the hand. This way your arms create a barrier that disallows crotches to come within an uncomfortable distance of each other.
  • webpimp, on 10/27/2007, -23/+1very weak. dugg down

    • edwartica, on 10/27/2007, -3/+3So....you're talking about yourself then?
  • blackmage439, on 10/27/2007, -16/+2Fail.
    • rand21althor, on 10/27/2007, -6/+3"Hug Fail" is the new "Epic Fail"
      • trioxylon, on 10/26/2007, -1/+1By your words, your comment is a "Hug Fail".
  • undy242, on 10/26/2007, -1/+10Apparently one of them is a male and the other a cross-dresser?
  • ronaldinho, on 10/27/2007, -23/+6I thought hugs come naturally, can't believe they are making this into a rocket science
    • dhVyse, on 10/26/2007, -3/+38That's why it's a comic, you ***** tool.
      • seventoes, on 10/26/2007, -0/+4Comics are too advanced for ronaldinho.
  • JonTheGoose, on 10/27/2007, -4/+19Everyone should just agree that hugs will, hence forth, be administered with left arm high and right arm low. Spread the word. We must put an end to awkward situations like this.
    • xtmno3, on 10/27/2007, -1/+29I prefer left arm low and right arm high. Good luck hugging me.
    • skankyBacon, on 10/27/2007, -1/+6Left low, right high feels much more natural to me.
  • BigKopp, on 10/27/2007, -2/+23The only thing I think it's missing is the awkward side hug.
    • RJNavarrete, on 10/27/2007, -1/+4The kind where you've hugged a couple of your friends, then one of their friends, whom you aren't too familiar with, gives you a hug? Haha. I hate that stupid side hug.
  • Revolutionary13, on 10/26/2007, -12/+2The comics on this site are terrible. Waste of time.
    • EvaMonkey01, on 10/26/2007, -2/+10Thats because they are drawn left handedly by right handed people... they are meant to look like that.
  • tdelet, on 10/26/2007, -16/+5Wow, "lame" doesn't begin to describe how lame that is. What's deeper than "buried"? Anything?
  • 1773nium, on 10/26/2007, -12/+4I digg down everything emobrat submits, only because of the username and icon.
  • wifirewire2, on 10/27/2007, -12/+11isn't this a ripoff from http://xkcd.com/

    ?
    • NinjaBoy, on 10/27/2007, -1/+8I think so, im pretty sure thats where i first saw it.
    • crossmr, on 10/27/2007, -0/+24could you point to the actual comic on xkcd?
    • stavro, on 10/27/2007, -1/+1no it's not.

      xkcd has achieved steven wright status
    • MalDON, on 10/27/2007, -0/+8I'm pretty sure spiderman is a ripoff of batman. Being as they are both superheros and all.
    • JARSInc, on 10/28/2007, -0/+3Stick figures does not mean it is ripped off of xkcd.
  • zointax, on 10/26/2007, -1/+5George: Yes, the "surprise-blindfold-greeting". That wasn't in the manual.
  • rangermatt, on 10/26/2007, -2/+7Sorry. Sometimes I just don’t know if it’s going to be a long hug or a short hug or like a middle or a medium hug. It’s hard to tell sometimes. Yeah. It was, it was good. That’s plenty for now. Okay, hug’s gotta end sometime. Obviously.
  • sorensilk, on 10/29/2007, -5/+9Buried. This is old. It was already on digg anyway - http://digg.com/design/In_Honor_of_Left_Handers_Da ...
  • john2kx, on 10/26/2007, -7/+1nice.. .i liked it.. dugg
  • milliamp, on 10/27/2007, -5/+0What comedian does this remind you of?
    • yfguitarist, on 10/27/2007, -0/+4It reminds me of Cyanide and Happiness - terrible drawings with random scenes of stupidity and awkwardness. This single strip is hilarious, but the rest of them suck. C+H has a lot of hits and misses, too.
    • agent22, on 10/27/2007, -0/+4Demetri Martin
  • JoshChan, on 10/29/2007, -4/+1reminded me of the old awkward moments..
  • over90000, on 10/29/2007, -3/+4http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-give-a-great-m ...

  • luag, on 10/29/2007, -6/+2The Hug is a Lie!
  • waz67, on 10/29/2007, -4/+20It's not that complicated really....
    If it's another guy, only hug if it's family, and even then it's lean forward, pat on the back kind of hug, finish asap.
    If it's an ugly woman, see above.
    If it's a hot woman, full body hug, make it last. Resist temptation to squeeze her ass with your hand.
    • GliTCH82, on 10/26/2007, -1/+2Unless she's into you, then squeeze liberally.
      • ostracize, on 10/26/2007, -0/+2get a squeeze back that's fancy cooking!
        • xkorbin, on 10/26/2007, -0/+1dugg for interesting use of "fancy cooking"
  • andytandreou, on 10/26/2007, -11/+3You people make the movie "idiocracy" seam like a prophecy! Dumb ***** *****!
    • bearsinthesea, on 10/26/2007, -0/+8Seem, perhaps?

      Or are you referring to a sewn prophecy blanket?
  • andytandreou, on 10/26/2007, -12/+1You people make the movie "idiocracy" seam like a prophecy! Dumb ***** *****!
  • MorbenDK, on 10/29/2007, -5/+3in the event of a Hug Failure you immediately proceed into a game of Mercy!
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercy_(game)
    • merreborn, on 10/26/2007, -1/+2...but only if you're under the age of 12.
  • Neenja, on 10/29/2007, -2/+4 FAIL! you have failed your hug training 101
  • yfguitarist, on 10/29/2007, -2/+3How about the good old "body shake"?
  • odiedog, on 10/29/2007, -2/+0That can be very true. It all depends on the person/situation of how the hug will turn out. The pictures are quite funny also.
  • ReaverOfSouls, on 10/29/2007, -5/+3Obviously no one here has ever been with a girl. When hugging a girl its always both arms low and she's always going to throw her arms around your neck. Idiots.
    • madcaesar, on 10/27/2007, -0/+4ahhhhh thanks Don Juan. Never seen someone be so arrogant about something so insignificant.
      • antitab, on 10/29/2007, -1/+1"Never seen someone be so arrogant about something so insignificant."
        Allow me to introduce you to the internet.
  • drastik21, on 10/29/2007, -1/+8 The guy saying FIRST in all caps and getting digged down makes this post worthwhile.
  • barraymian, on 10/29/2007, -5/+1lol, this is so retarded but soo funny at the same time. only nerds (like me) will understand and appreciate this cartoon.
  • Voyager7456, on 10/29/2007, -2/+1This happens to me all the time.
  • RoflMyWaffle, on 10/29/2007, -1/+4Buried, I swear this made front page like a month ago!
  • ikarimaru, on 10/29/2007, -2/+0Funny at the time, but buried because it's been out for quite a while. How did this manage front page?
  • effedup, on 10/29/2007, -6/+3I agree! This is extremely lame. Where's the humor? If you ask me you're likely to get your ass kicked if you tried to hug me.
  • alacarde, on 10/29/2007, -2/+1Check out stick man smiling while stick woman is frowning.
  • melitta, on 10/27/2007, -3/+1Spread the word. We must put an end to awkward situations like this. Everyone should just agree that hugs will, hence forth, be administered with left arm high and right arm low.
  • Gooble74, on 10/27/2007, -1/+0Every hug can be countered. Essential knowledge in the art of hug-fu.
  • sdigroup, on 10/29/2007, -4/+11Digg has truly lost its mind for this to be on the front ..yeah go ahead bury me down. but i speak the freaking truth
    • darkjedi26, on 10/27/2007, -2/+4I agree, this is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen.
  • yellowb, on 10/26/2007, -0/+1oh weird....... o_O
  • angstd, on 10/26/2007, -0/+1I have now discovered a new web comic to add to my dauily routine. Thanks.
  • MURDERTRON, on 10/26/2007, -0/+1Bad grammar lies within!
  • allahuakbar, on 10/27/2007, -0/+2Don't hug me bro!
