  • ubernoggin, on 06/04/2008, -4/+16Yeah, I'm usually sleepwalking when I submit articles.
  • gbarberi, on 06/04/2008, -3/+112I see, that's how MBM does it.
  • chandan333, on 06/04/2008, -25/+2funny
  • JevWah, on 06/04/2008, -3/+13What's funny is a lot of diggers probably do something close to this - lying in bed thinking of something: oh *****, lets submit that link I found to digg!
    • BobMysterioso, on 06/04/2008, -0/+4only to immediately have hopes dashed.

      Damn you MrBabyMan!
    • antdude, on 06/05/2008, -0/+1I do this in my sleep. I have the brain connected to the Internet. [grin]
  • SeaweedWater, on 06/04/2008, -6/+32I'm actually sleep-commenting right now.
  • Tunguska, on 06/04/2008, -2/+230If I dugg up funny articles when I was sleepwalking...

    ... I would rest easy knowing I still wouldn't digg this unfunny piece of *****.
    • zizzy, on 06/04/2008, -5/+3Yeah, since this could be done with anything.
      Step 1. Title it "You Know You Need A Break From [anything] When..."
      Step 2. Open MsPaint and draw someone doing [anything] while sleepwalking.
      Step 3. Add a caption explaining what is happening and why it's funny
      Step 4. ??????
      Step 5. Profit!
      Step 6. Have someone call out the lack of actual humor
  • Dradis, on 06/04/2008, -1/+211Not funny.
  • annjay, on 06/04/2008, -3/+3hmmm
  • fudged71, on 06/04/2008, -5/+26I don't think this is funny enough to digg

    related: http://www.decorumcomics.com
    • BoneheadFarker, on 06/04/2008, -0/+12Why does this seem like an XKCD rip-off?
      • brianez21, on 06/04/2008, -1/+2Because it is -- (from the FAQ page)
        NB - I like Decorum.

        ---

        Q: You're a blatant ripoff of xkcd and an insult to Randall Munroe! Your comic is just like xkcd except it sucks!

        A: Well, I have no response to the "your comic sucks" remark. You either like it or you don't. However, despite pencil-drawn, stick-figure artwork and the fact that Decorum as well as xkcd belongs to the "geeky" genre of webcomics, it isn't "exactly like xkcd". There are similarities and xkcd is one of my main inspirations, but there are lots of places where the comics do not overlap in content or style.

        I doubt that's going to satisfy the people who really are convinced that I'm doing something terribly wrong. The best response I can offer you is that I've spoken to Randall Munroe on a number of occasions, he's mentioned to me that my comic is one of the better ones he's seen out there, and he linked me directly from wetriffs.com. These things lead me to believe that Randall Munroe neither dislikes my comic nor believes I am plagiarizing him, and I would have to consider him the authority on this matter.
      • ozkr, on 06/04/2008, -0/+1because that's what it is.
    • pyro789x, on 06/04/2008, -1/+1Funny, usually people bury this kind of thing. That link is not actually related, despite what you said.
  • OKeric, on 06/04/2008, -3/+19Thats supposed to be MrBabyMan. I mean *****, this guy has 3 upcoming submissions about to hit the frontpage at this moment alone.
    • cawpin, on 06/04/2008, -1/+3No, if it were MrBabyMan he would have a big stack of cash and a big stack of stories to submit to earn said cash.
    • iofthestorm, on 06/05/2008, -1/+2Hell, the submitter, msaleem, isn't exactly an average digger either. That was probably the funniest part about this submission...

  • nubalance, on 06/04/2008, -0/+14Buried as duplicate. Far too many stupid posts like this.
  • mwaleed86, on 06/04/2008, -2/+0RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!
  • Mizzy, on 06/04/2008, -3/+1Sleepwalking Submitting Story Disorder or SSSD.
  • Omali, on 06/04/2008, -3/+0This explains 90% of Myspace, Facebook, Livejournal, and fanfiction websites.
  • ninjan, on 06/04/2008, -1/+19Not artistically correct nor entertaining.
    • feliks2, on 06/04/2008, -0/+1What the hell is "artistically correct" supposed to mean? Agree with the "nor entrtaining" part.
  • ken12012, on 06/04/2008, -1/+22"Lame. Not Cool."
  • D14BL0, on 06/04/2008, -0/+16Ok, I've seen some dumb things hit the front page before, but come on. Why is a poorly-drawn comic with the punchline ruined by the article description worthy of the front page?
    • ileftfark, on 06/04/2008, -1/+4The answer you were looking for was: "msaleem'.

      msaleem.

      Better luck next time!
  • jonasblue, on 06/04/2008, -3/+8You Know You Fail When You Fail
  • SemiSarcastic, on 06/04/2008, -0/+37I really, really hate the artwork here.
  • jankind, on 06/04/2008, -0/+32When...***** like this hits the front page.
    Dumb.
  • h3llscaper, on 06/04/2008, -3/+8Stick figures don't make a funny comic, no matter how ***** the source material is to begin with.
  • ColonelTribune, on 06/04/2008, -4/+1Now I feel terrible about myself.

    (Sarcasm, in case you didn't pick that up.)
  • Carlsen, on 06/04/2008, -2/+8You know you fail when you digg this.
  • mrinsanity, on 06/04/2008, -0/+4His mouse is facing backwards
  • Sakumi, on 06/04/2008, -0/+18What kind of ***** is this? Buried for being the lamest article on Digg's frontpage in the last year.
  • computerusr, on 06/04/2008, -1/+3Try again.
  • jesuswuzanalien, on 06/04/2008, -1/+56Step1: Draw some ***** ass self-referential Digg article
    Step 2: Post it on Digg
    Step 3: ???
    Step 4: Get buried as lame
    • Archaic1, on 06/04/2008, -0/+5You missed step 0.5: Amass 200 friends with whom you can circlejerk just about anything onto the front page
    • SqlByte, on 06/04/2008, -5/+1Step 1: Find some ***** ass self-referential Digg article
      Step 2: Comment on it in 4 steps
      Step 3: ???
      Step 4: Get buried as meme
  • KingGorilla, on 06/04/2008, -1/+11I wish I could draw like that guy
  • xcp84, on 06/04/2008, -2/+1I do this all the time.
  • EricSancho, on 06/04/2008, -0/+2It's funny how it doesn't really matter what I write in this coment box because I know that this is actually a dream. It's also funny that it wouldn't matter if this wasn't a dream because in digg nobody really listens to each other.
    • EricSancho, on 06/04/2008, -0/+1Random things that don't really matter if I say because this is a dream:

      -I think Kevin Rose is a bit of a hypocrite.

      -Deep down, everybody knows that diggers like Mr.BabyMan deserve some respect because of their accomplishment on digg.

      -The only reason I visit digg.com is because I'm addicted to interesting information, and digg is a place where I might sometimes find it.

      -We are all geeks and nerds who go to social websites for that "virtual popularity" we can find here, which is a substitute to the popularity that we can't find in real life. We secretly have an urge to stop visiting social websites once we get a chance of living a "real life."

      -If you're still reading this you're an idiot. Like me, by still writing this list.
  • lostarchitect, on 06/04/2008, -1/+1i don't sleep-submit, but i do drunk post.
  • HelloNavi, on 06/04/2008, -0/+10HAHAHAHAhaha...ha? How did this make front page? :
    • Chrino, on 06/04/2008, -0/+3How did this make it onto the internet?
  • pogfreak, on 06/04/2008, -0/+2See the guy in the pic is sleep walking and submits a link to a social networking site like digg....

    McBane: "Thaaats the joke!"
  • eltardo, on 06/04/2008, -0/+3wow, that was gay.
  • vconn, on 06/04/2008, -0/+0The Lord, the Lord Jehovah has given unto you these fifteen...
    [drops one of the tablets]
    Oy! Ten! Ten commandments for all to obey!
  • Skahara, on 06/04/2008, -0/+2...when a ***** like this hits the front page.
  • NathanielJ, on 06/04/2008, -0/+7Dear webcomic makers: if you can replace the content of your webcomic with ANYTHING else and have the same "punchline" work just as well, your comic sucks.

    You know you need a break from McDonald's when you order it in your sleep.
    You know you need a break from television when you watch it in your sleep.
    You know you need a break from porn when you jerk it in your sleep.

    Frankly, I think the last one would have made for a better webcomic than this POS.
  • WraTH017, on 06/04/2008, -0/+5All those who found this funny or digg worthy need to take a break from social media.
  • Ex3poo, on 06/04/2008, -2/+2Based off Kevin Rose's Life
  • fleischkopf, on 06/04/2008, -3/+1at least he can draw better than xkcd.
  • pcnerd37, on 06/04/2008, -0/+20404 Funny Not Found.
  • krisscofield, on 06/04/2008, -0/+2Remember that show Rocko's Modern Life? Man, good times.
  • 45441, on 06/04/2008, -1/+1Unfunny crap.
    I could barely read that chickenscratch text.
  • BioXD, on 06/04/2008, -3/+0Buried for not being xkcd

  • Vindexus, on 06/04/2008, -1/+8How did this make the front page? I'm not joking here; I'd actually like an answer on this.
    • jwiesenborn, on 06/04/2008, -0/+7it was submitted by msaleem. if you're a power user you can get dog ***** on the front page if you want.
      • Acglaphotis, on 06/05/2008, -1/+1And the same people who dugg it will complain.
  • radicldreamer, on 06/04/2008, -1/+12Quite possibly the lamest digg submission ever
  • DrumRobC, on 06/04/2008, -0/+3buried
