Hey all, I’m on vacation in Northern California until Sunday, so forgive any lateness in replying to comments or tweets this week. Also, today’s strip is the epilogue for the Abraxas vs. Musashi storyline, which means I’ll be starting a new arc next Tuesday. Hope you’re here for it!
CONTINUITY ALERT! Longtime JEFbot readers may remember that the “Wii Fit” video of the Cornfather that jefbot mentioned in today’s strip was a reference to JEFBOT.94_What a Feeling. Go back about 60 strips and check it out!
WIN A FREE BOTTON!
You only have until next Tuesday to leave a comment on this or any other June strip or blog post to enter the drawing for a free BOTton! Details here. Free shipping (US/Canada) + Free BOTton with the purchase of any JEFbot tee expires at the end of the month, too! Check that deal out here.
Hahaha! As soon as I read “flashdance impression”, I remembered that specific strip quite well! I would love to see the video for that furry aminal attack sometime! So please do share it in the sometime near future? *wink wink nudge nudge* Cute how Cornfathers laptop has the same symbol on his lappy as he does on his shirt.
America’s Funniest Home Videos, was the first video sharing TV show to really show all of the humiliation and humorous stuff people do behind closed doors. Just so happens that youtube kinda took over that as far as sharing the videos on the internet, and not on TV. It’s kinda weird not having Abraxas and Musashi in the last 2 strips. But this was a cute one!
thanks for the great comment, Spanky! you’re right about that Funniest Home Videos show ushering in a whole era of humiliation on tv – especially when it comes to getting one’s conjones smacked, hit or pummeled. 😉 and as for abraxas and musashi’s whereabouts, it would seem they’re being given a “time out” for bad behavior. 🙂
Great strip bot. And I’m one of the first to comment. Goddamn early mornings. The flashdance strip was great but I believe the water could cause some serious damage to a very pricey peripheral if done in the real world. -but someone will still try it- XD Gotta love the american public.
yeah, early mornings suck. and i think my balance board at home could probably take a “flashdance” water soaking, as i have one of those silicone skins for mine – not that i’d ever try it, of course. 🙂
Ha! That’s soooo funny and true… In fact, I was just uploading some crazy, wild over the top videos I shot of my family while on vacation here in CO! Crazy… I love the strip as always, and I LOVE The Cornfather’s calm statement… Most of all, I LOVE that my most humiliating moments will live on forever somewhere in cyberspace…
that’s awesome, funnyshaffer – make sure you send me the link so i can witness your family’s humiliation.
I want to see those videos now. You two should make the real-life versions to put on YouTube: instant success!
if someone wants to donate a rabid ferret and hamster, i’m up for it if Michael is, Zelos. 😉
Yeah, True Dat! Nice facial expressions on both bot and cornfather. You can see the sarcasm on their faces in the last panel. *goes off to watch more embaressing moments, lamenting my lack of being able to spell correctly*
Bad Spellars of the Wurld Untie!
(nice spell checker by the way)
thanks for the comment, epikto! glad you enjoyed their expressions, but while jefbot is being sarcastic, the Cornfather’s response is actually quite sincere.
awww…I was so hoping for even just a glimpse at the video 🙂 But I guess I will settle for the world wide humiliation…Cornfathers going to have to get something that will close the 300,000 view gap on YouTube(tm)…
maybe someday i’ll draw up some of what happened in that video, Hans, but for now it’ll just have to live in your imagination. 🙂
haha! that’s high–larious!!!! so true. the internet is killing us. but it’s killing us slowly…from the inside.
indeed, skinny. like an alien chestburster!
The internet is killing YOU GUYS!!!
*evil laugh of doom*
I for one will NOT be killed by the Internet since I don’t have a MySpace or FaceBook or even a YouTube account *smiling proudly* I always thought that the beauty of the internet was its anonimosity, but nowadays people are trying so hard to be “know” that is scary. I’m not interested in joining the wagon and the only thing I ever watch in youtube are the missing episodes of some of my favorite tv series.
good for you, Sonitan! while i have managed to not be addicted to my facebook or myspace accounts, twitter definitely has its icy claws in me. 🙁
I love the humiliation comment. I dont have much to say except that but I hope Cel will be in new arc.
you’ll be happy to know that cel does find her way into the new arc, Maryz!
me sad 🙁
don’t cry, dry your eye, xin! 😀
Great strip! I know, before you would give someone a wedgie and it was only shared by those close to us. Now everyone gets in on the fun!
and who wouldn’t want to share in a wedgie!? 😀
Let me get this straight: In ‘botWorld, embarrassment = Win? Ooooookaaaaaay…
maybe in the Cornfather’s world, reynard61, but jefbot’s definitely being facetious in that last panel.
Sad I was kind of hoping for some action shots or something. Oh well maybe they’ll make their way to a button or a T-shirt. Hope you have fun in N. CA. I grew up in Napa.
i had a great time in NorCal, Ploute, thanks! caught lots of fish and did a *lot* of hiking. too much, actually. gonna try and get a blog post up about it soon.
Xinda I thought you had your fill of brutality in several last strips. Dont tell me its allready worn off?
her brutality will never be satiated, Maryz…
need more blood…
see?
Hmmm… I DON’T think embarrassments should be made public.
unless they’re really really funny.
heheh. i’m with ya, DarkWolf901.
to quote Homer Simpson circa 1994, “It’s funny ’cause its true.”
ahhh… this “Homer” must be a very wise man indeed, eleventeen.
the panel color greatly identifies their feeling….lolz
good job JB…really hit the spot there…though not really funny in my opinion…except it did gave me some points to muse around
hey, i’ll take a strip that gives me “points to muse around” any day, JF3. thanks!
Very funny and also very poignant, bot. I love how this comic has so many jefpop culture references. Love it, man. Keep it up.
thanks, man. i’ll try!
Does humiliated mean cool now, like that’s bad, as in good?
Is there a chance that said ‘Flashdance’ impression will get into web for real? :XD
ha! we’ll see if i can convince the real Cornfather to go for that. 🙂
