Pick a side

Cyanide and Happiness has given me more chuckles
>>
C&H is far more amusing and less psuedo-intellectual
>>
>>80742674
xkcd is the reddit of comics
>>
I forgot to put money into that C&H Kickstarter.

Best XKCD can be really witty, topical and hilarious, not to mention thought provoking (especially if we are counting the educational stuff).

Best C&H is fucking hilarious, but at a basic, kind of immature level. It's different, but I would take a godly XKCD over an equivalent C&H any day.

However, at its worst, XKCD is preachy, faggy, circlejerky shit. Unfunny and standing on a soapbox. At C&H's worst, it's just a missed joke; unfunny but nothing lost.

So, maybe across the board C&H is better, but XKCD is more ambitious and its best is really good.

>>80742674
c&h basically has three jokes-- either there's wordplay involving the literal interpretation of something, or where a character otherwise elaborates on a seemingly innocuous phrase to be something subversive (often zooming out to show that they meant something entirely other than what was expected), or a generic joke setup gets replaced with a punchline that's horribly dark. I almost never laugh at it.
>>
>>80742674
Let them kill each other, then celebrate.
>>
>>80742674
Cyanide and Happiness has a larger number of funny strips just its sheer massive output.
XKCD has better highs and also clearly has far more effort put into it but suffers massively from the cringey relationship strips.
Both of them are mostly pretty bad.

I stopped reading both a longass time ago

I prefer this one. Much more succinct
>>
I am mostly unfamiliar with both. Could someone post some examples of the best and possibly worst of either?

God damn I will always love this one.

C&H is really funny... if you're emotionally 13-year-old. Not that xkcd is all that great either, but it's certainly better than C&H.
>>
>>80744205
>>80744859

Yeah it's actually really fucking succinct and clever, it's a classic.

so c&h then
>>
xkcd is more consistently preachy and condescending, but C&H is worse when it does decide to get preachy. Tough call.

i stopped reading C&H when Matt left

XKCD by far, I'm into humor not offered on a plate, if you have to so to speak earn the punchline it feels more rewarding. Bonus points for What-if
>>
>>80742674
I don't care for XKCD's style of argument sometimes.

C&H tries too hard to be stupid.
XKCD tries too hard to be intellectual.

They're both garbage but C&H wins by a mile because of the random comic generator.

XKCD has better highs but worse lows.

Cyanide and Happiness is pretty consistently a 'hehe' comic.

XKCD either provokes genuinely interesting thought or is very witty, or it's Randall seeing what new unplumbed depths he can explore in his own ass trying to sound deep/quirky.

Cyanide and happiness for me hands down I don't read much of the comics but I love the Cartoons. Also I think sometimes XKCD can be too preachy.
