The original flowchart. Must give Beef props for keeping on keeping on.
long-eared_ronin » pro 3 years ago
It's like looking in a mirror. And the contrast of the Philippe chart really elevates this in to "best of" territory.

I'm assuming the lames are for the fact that the way your post is worded it seems like you want Beef's babies which have been arseraped, when I imagine what you in fact meant to say is that you want the babies he would have after being arseraped by you.

To be perfectly honest, I am not quite sure which is worse.

2 years ago, I was 17. And therefore an arse.

Hi!

Phillepe has the best flowchart ever. I'm tempted to apply it to my life.

Eating spoons of peanut butter because it is the only thing in the house that doesn't require preparation. Man has being depressed down.
unklmnky69 » pro 10 months ago
i ate peanut butter with un-separated, take-out chopsticks yesterday. they were from the delivery korean food the night before...thank god i still have 3 days before i have to take a shower.....
w_w » neu 2 months ago
When I want peanut butter on a spoon, I have to go out and buy it. That's preparation in my book.
missdove » neu 1 months ago
I too have done this when in a slough of despond. It does make you feel a little better. At least you did SOMETHING.
epicurus » pro 3 years ago
Beef's is my favourite of the flowcharts, but for me 60% of this strip was the Philippe, which I am all about.
closefriend » pro 3 years ago
The scary thing is, if you track my progress from age 5 to now, it's like Philippe's chart magically fading into Beef's.
epicurus » pro 3 years ago
That is so true of me as well that it frightens me.
semiquaver » pro 2 years ago
Yeah that is true of all of us dogg we are on the internet. It is not a thing we need to mash out.
soticoto » neu 2 years ago

That ain't magic, that's just life.

oh just print it off onto white construction paper and fake sign it and throw a frame around it. i hate myself.

that woman is hell of terrible.

i'm not ashamed to say that hell of, hella and such as have gradually crept into my vocabulary. i think everyone just thinks i'm a little touched.
cryabetes » neu 3 years ago
well they're definitely picturing a small apartment decorated with owl posters.
tellumo » pro 3 years ago
Me too, but then again I live in the Bay Area. Although I imagine Achewood alone would have been enough to start me talking like a dude from Circumstances who grew up in San Carlos or wherever.
confusion » neu 2 years ago
Me three, and I take hell of flack for it even though I'm from here.

such as meaning things like is hell of awesome!
catwoman153 » neu 3 years ago
I said hells no the other day.........
honesttom » neu 2 years ago
Both my flatmates are huge Achewood fans, so with nobody to stop us and say, "Sorry, what is 'wicked sack'?" we're developing such as an Achewood-based dialect.
jackparsons » neu 2 years ago
Everyone has redeeming qualities. Judge Judy had a Johnny Rotten case. Is on youtube.
upsilon » neu 2 years ago
My God, me too. I try not to use 'hella' too often around friends, but whenever I do, they just pause and look at me with mild bemusement.
quantumcasaba » neu 2 years ago
Muppets for snacking only, no full meals.
(I can not pull them off quite so well, but it doesn't stop me.)
grtfldvr » neu 2 years ago
Me too! Nothing new, alas - they already believe I'm one hella freak here in the conservative Midwest cornbelt.
laserblade » neu 2 years ago
I've started replacing "does not" with "ain't".
zapatos » neu 1 years ago
"Hell of" has replaced "many" and all such synonyms in my daily vernacular. I find my life better for it... Hell of improved.
edana » neu 8 months ago
We got hell of eggs in the fridge! T come make us a fritatta!
zapatos » neu 7 months ago
I went to breakfast with some friends, whom I had not seen recently, and one ordered a fritatta. I laughed and pretended to pull my head off.

I was not understood.

Where is self pleasure?

:D philippe! i want a philippe.
trollcollins » pro 3 years ago
Roast Beef is probably my favourite character. This flow chart helps me to explain why!

The contrast with Phillipe is just the cherry on top of the comedy sundae (comedea sundae?)
notgodot » neu 3 years ago
I've had days exactly like his. Beef, anyways. Philippe's too gosh darn happy.

Am I craving Chinese food because I'm dying?
riazm » neu 2 years ago
My sister printed out this strip and blue tacked it to her wall and way day my mother found it. She didn't understand it was a joke and thought it was an actual flow chart designed to gauge depression.
winkmartindale » pro 2 years ago
Beef should know better than to read the online news. That stuff is hella bad for depression.
honesttom » neu 2 years ago
If you put these flowcharts in sequence, you've got a pretty good guide to manic depression.
confusion » pro 2 years ago
Yes.
fermatprime » neu 1 years ago
Hi!
mountaindewtab » neu 2 years ago
this is perfect

no matter what way things go, beef must eventually try and open the blinds.
soticoto » neu 2 years ago
Chubby for your avatar alone.
edana » neu 8 months ago
Not if the shower light is burnt out then it is just...oh well.
fjak » neu 2 years ago
this is so depressing :(
slalvation » neu 2 years ago
This freaked me out the first time I saw it. He knows about the peanut butter!
tbtabby » neu 2 years ago
Fine by me, as long as he doesn't buy into that "proof against evolution" crap.
slalvation » neu 2 years ago
Huh?
tbtabby » neu 2 years ago
Creationists have claimed that peanut butter disproves evolution because life doesn't spontaneously form in it.
slalvation » neu 2 years ago
Wow. That sounds like that magazine I read where they were saying that rivers running through canyons prove intelligent design because "why wouldn't they just go AROUND the mountains?"
zapatos » neu 1 years ago
Fuckin'... RAIN!
ethelthefrog » neu 8 months ago
Rivers are so ditzy like that.
shutup_shutup » neu 1 years ago
Then again, they also think that bananas are proof of creation because they fit so well in your hand.
gsail11 » neu 2 years ago
This is the first strip I gave a five before I finished reading. Probably because I spent about ten minutes considering all the possible routes of Roast Beef's day.
paco » neu 2 years ago
No matter what, you start at the same point and end at the same point. This flow chart could be simplified to "ARE YOU DEPRESSED?" "OH WELL"
tbtabby » neu 2 years ago
Look closer. You can also end up with "AT LEAST TRY TO OPEN THE BLINDS."
lawbot » neu 2 years ago
This is my brain.
szensky » pro 2 years ago
I have never gotten at all choked up because of a flow chart before.
ctaronno » neu 2 years ago
This one was hell of hard to read, but completely worth it.

If only I could give this multiple 5's.
Onstad is a master of comedy.
atticusonline » neu 2 years ago
Hi! I am Philippe! Yes!
deus » neu 2 years ago
OH MY DEVILS!
THATS ME!

This flowchart is about ME! ONSTAD this is me!

I would want one of these with my name on, but then I quit computer science and did something less soul crushing.

The worst days are the ones where I have to tell my own internal monologue to stop yelling at me.

Philippe's decision-making chart is the same thing if you're on heroin too, I think.
ethelthefrog » neu 8 months ago
Maybe that's what I need to try for my depression.
redphillip » pro 1 years ago
I think this was the strip that led me to describe my status as 'Roast Beefy' for quite a while. When I respond to personals profiles online, I try to hide this part of my reality, and rely on the Philippe technique: HI! YES! Sometimes it works.
berami » neu 1 years ago
Roast Beef's expression breaks my heart. He's know he's got depression, but thats just the way it is. Oh well.
ishuta » neu 1 years ago
roats beff is like the ultimate loser

no wonder so many losers relate to him.

I wish there were a way to rate a strip at a 6.
greenkoolayd » neu 1 years ago
oil on top? why would he have that natural peanut butter?
fatcat » con 10 months ago
That's the best kind!
thaes » pro 10 months ago
If everyone followed Philippe's flowchart, world would be a better place. Or at least, a cuter place.
duperando » neu 8 months ago
My favorite part? The complete contrast between Roast Beef's drawn-out struggle and Philippe's 2-step flowchart of happiness and sunshine.
