That comic rules.

Wait. That comic doesn't make sense--the "POP" happens when the seal breaks, so she was a virginal jelly.

Yeah, that was my thought, too.

It's like in Far Side comics when they do a "objects in mirror may appear closer than they actually are" gag--no car mirror actually says that.

^^^bullshit

"Objects in mirror are closer than they appear"

right, which is just the opposite

there are always comics that have a big giant bug in the mirror, frightening the passenger, and the sign says, "objects in mirror may appear closer than they are."

The top pops the first time the jar is opened, so the PB had her virginity.

in reality, the mirror is made for a wider field of vision, so the objects appear smaller than they are, not larger

You're misquoting the Far Side.

I don't want to get in a deep discussion about the Far Side on the internet, but if I'm misquoting it, then what would the visual joke be?

The one I remember is a guy looking in the mirror (that says "objects in mirror are closer than they appear") and it's just a huge fucking eyeball in the mirror.

I agree it is pretty dumb to argue about it, sry.

No, he tests her button when he takes off the veil, and it pops. You know, like when it's sealed then the button is stiff, but after you take it off you can press on it and make annoying popping sounds?

JORDAN OTM

I think we've just ruined all jokes through over-explanation.

Hmmmm...That could make sense I guess.

We're back at the whole "deconstruction of joke enhances joke" vs
"deconstruction of joke ruins joke" divide.

xpost.

"deconstruction of joke enhances joke" is a lie and a sham

It makes sense. It would just be funnier if tops actually said that.

we are not the first to debate the popping lid, unsurprisingly

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=177332

and i'm with jesse... the button pops when you break the seal, because you're breaking the vacuum inside, releasing the thin piece of metal from its "depressed" position. Sure you can pop it easily after that, but that's not the idea behind the lid.

what if two gallons of milk were about to do it and the dude found chocolate syrup around the rim of her lid

^_^

xp: but he's taking off the veil and in the process pushes the button and it pops = already been opened

yes but lids do not actually say that, and that is not the purpose of those lids, it's an ill-informed joke about lids, therefore a bit niggling and much less funny than if he'd done a little basic lid research

Oh, I get it. The peanut butter is not actually unscrewing (lol "screwing") the jelly's lid, he's just touching it.

Yes!

Kenan what kind of polluted grape jelly are you eating that does not have a lid that says that?

But I mean, those buttons on lids, they pop up when you open it, then its there. It wouldn't pop once he started boning her.

But then again, I am trying to analyze the mistakes in a cartoon about one jar ****ing another jar, so maybe I should go outside.

Doesn't really make sense, sadly.

The pop means that it was fresh when you opened it.

Seriously, I can't BELIEVE some of the fucking conversations I have.

I see everyone's point here, but they seem to fail to see mine. Go look at a jelly jar lid.

chicago thread in sucking the funny out of a joke shockah!

I am not arguing about jelly on the internet.

also, as was pointed out elsewhere, this is at least the third time he's done the same joke

OK I just went and looked at someone's jar of Smuckers in the fridge here, and it said "button will pop up when seal is broken".

Those are both great, though.

(also I would argue that the Cliff's Notes one is a different joke, if I argued about jokes on the internet)

right. otherwise it would be down. That's how you know if the seal is broken.

NeoGAF board member OTM: This comic might be terrible but all the people who are trying to troll it by saying it's "unclear" are reaching.

Huh. OK, I concede everything. Funniness of joke is RESTORED@!!!!!!

(I am going to go look at a jelly jar later.)

it's just as humid inside my apartment as it is outside. i want to die.

dude, i know how you feel. I have a relatively shady and cool apartment, but this humidity renders that particular feature null and void. Nothing to do but sit in front of a fan until time for bed, when I will retreat to the mercy of my air-conditioned bedroom.

it's the opposite of winter in every possible way. In winter, my hands shrivel and my lips crack my apartment is so dry.

Last summer my place was pretty much unlivible on 90+ days except with a fan directly on me, but earlier this summer our landlord let us know that in fact we have central air and that he just needed to throw a few switches...

Dan: and it's him bouncing up and down, nude, making his balls flap back and forth and hit him in the stomach and ass

goddamn you

haha...?

wtf
