jstegall » pro 1 years ago
I almost wet myself when I read this one.
shmuckeles » neu 11 months ago
i had to leave the room. noone else in the house got it. then i had to move house.
heatbag » pro 1 years ago
This strip still blows me away 3 years later.
The definition of a classic.
slalvation » neu 5 months ago
See, I never get why people say that. Joke explanations crack me up.
blarghamagarky » neu 4 months ago
like 34% of alt texts are Onstad explaining jokes and it is always hilarious
johnnyc » neu 4 months ago
I don't think his admittedly limited computer skills have as much to do with it as the fact that using the browser was the quickest way he could do it.
salo » neu 3 months ago
Also the rayest way.
bixschmix » neu 2 months ago
He used a Program.
psychology » neu 7 months ago
it doesn't take a four-year degree to know funny, just like it doesn't take working at McDonald's to know an obese person when you see one.
saint » neu 7 months ago
Elijah Wood is obese. Look at the Pat Fuck You Friday.
rowboat » pro 6 months ago
I don't want to be mean, but if you don't get this, I think this might be more your speed. Enjoy.
baryonyx » neu 4 months ago
Bahahaha. All of those are so funny, but not in the manner they were intended to be.

Like Godzilla films, or Plan 9 from Outer Space.
dominus101 » pro 2 months ago
Look, I don't know what you think you're doing, but I am Marmaduke. You do not speak about me that way!
dutch » neu 7 months ago
only because climbing it is kinda cliche.
notself » pro 1 years ago
Aww yeah.
epicurus » neu 1 years ago
I don't know why I love this one so much.

But I do.
hellofyellin » pro 1 years ago
I waited for a long time but this never happened.
kazad » pro 10 months ago
Nice reference
cbtbone » neu 1 years ago
Still the best possible use of Google/the internet in general.
digdugz » neu 1 years ago
Strips like this are the essence of Achewood.
jstegall » pro 1 years ago
The alt text rocks too. "Poor kids love playing this game in the library."
slab64 » neu 8 months ago
I totally was that kid...game loses it's appeal pretty quick, though.
rowboat » pro 6 months ago
Poor kids are pretty accustomed to losing things. Poor kids are hilarious!
anomalous3 » pro 1 years ago
I don't think anyone notices yet another (this time not so subtle) that teodor is a voyeuristic perv. Not that there's anything wrong with that...but we all know about ray and ladies sitting on cakes.
wharfrat » pro 1 years ago
ray..brilliant like a child...or winnie the pooh
hollis » neu 1 years ago
Yes; both children and Pooh know about simple pleasures. Rock on, Ray.
zefiel » neu 8 months ago
Pooh just loved those sugar rushes. The shows were carefully edited to avoid showing the mean streak Pooh got in when he couldn't get his sugar on.

Piglet all stuffed in a jar, begging Pooh to let him out

WHERE'S MY HUNNY, BITCH?
nsrdude » pro 1 years ago
My brother got me a signed framed opy of thisfor my birthday :D
jar » neu 7 months ago
Your brother is Awesome.
dogzilla » pro 1 years ago
All time favourite
centipede_damascus » pro 1 years ago
I did this once as a child, only with a picture of a 1968 Ford Mustang.
senseihollywood » neu 1 years ago
four words:

Evel Kneivel, Snake River

let's make it happen people
davidbs » pro 1 years ago
I do this. Except instead of a motorcycle it's a Bugatti. And instead of Mt. Everest, it's a crowd scene as my desktop.
closefriend » pro 1 years ago
I hope it's the L'oreal Group Lotion Awareness Bugatti.
boredom_man » neu 6 months ago
And the Bugatti lands on the crowd, and you are the winner.
zem » neu 5 months ago
um i think everyone starts with a default avatar from a set
tim_simmons » neu 4 months ago
hahaha things got pretty nasty pretty quick there
overmedicated » neu 4 months ago
Rowboat: Dick.
divot » neu 3 months ago
Why, sir! Is that the dashing and authoritative figure of Thornton Reed I espy in your avatar?
rowboat » pro 3 months ago
Overmedicated sums it up pretty well. What other sort of person would shoot his mouth off in such a way while knowing so little about the Way Things Are? I was such a mouthy kid two months ago. It's really no wonder that there are still some people here who lame me automatically.
flim » pro 1 years ago
This strip is pure gold, kudos.
1000hz » neu 1 years ago
I had forgotten the greatness of strip. For this I thank you, Assetbar.
dubreign » neu 1 years ago
a simple dude
leggotheego » neu 1 years ago
This is one of those strips that defines Ray's character.
delzhand » neu 11 months ago
It really is what we do when we think no one is watching that defines us!
deancain29 » pro 1 years ago
i did this earlier. it amused me a great deal.
never_die » pro 1 years ago
i love the Beef and Teodor play-by-play
featurelessvoid » pro 1 years ago
Whee! It's fun to see a sophisticated dude such as Ray indulge in such stupid fun. He may not know how to make animations on his computer, but the man gets things done.
snakpacattack » pro 11 months ago
This is one of the best things ever... I do this from time to time as well.
quicken83 » pro 11 months ago
bendy4 » neu 11 months ago
My first grade teacher told us that a genius is never bored. Anyone ever seen Ray bored?
pwb » neu 10 months ago
Ray has definitely been bored before. So bored, in fact. Smoke up a friend, holmes bored, even.

But he's still a genius.
primal_in_the_mane » pro 10 months ago
Ray is never bored.
envika » neu 3 months ago
no.

that is not funny.

that is

the terrible idea of the week
afronaut » neu 10 months ago
How many people here, be honest, have done this after reading this strip?
rowboat » pro 6 months ago
As of 11/07, 52,720 and counting, I'd have to imagine.
joeyramoney » pro 10 months ago
this is easily the best strip ever.
happycakeoven » pro 10 months ago
I also adore it. A !
comradepants » pro 9 months ago
I'm going to have something to laugh about for the rest of my week.

It becomes better with <a href=http://achewood.ytmnd.com/>epic music</a>

(Note: Not mine)
cousinted » neu 7 months ago
vbcode, not HTML. I have disappointed my family. fixed:

[url=It becomes better with <a href=http://achewood.ytmnd.com/>epic music</a>]Epic Music[/url]
cousinted » neu 7 months ago
RARGH! COUSINTED SMASH!
katsura » neu 7 months ago
BBCode fail aside, that managed to make me crack up really loud in the middle of the night.

I wonder if Ray listens to epic music when he does this?
rowboat » pro 6 months ago
I love these epic BBCode melees more than anything. I'm a veteran.
rowboat » pro 6 months ago
By the way, that was fucking awesome. Thank you.
boyd » neu 9 months ago
Does anyone else think that the drawing of Mount Everest looks like an enormous turd?

Still though, 5.
deusoma » neu 8 months ago
There are no icons on Ray's desktop.
ricnine » neu 8 months ago
Icons would damage the illusion of a real motorcycle jumping over a real mountain. Haha
sorcerouswolf » neu 7 months ago
First Achewood I've ever read. I love it.
flandrin » con 7 months ago
Probably one the funniest things I've ever seen in any medium, ever.
luckypyjamas » pro 7 months ago
this was the first one i read, it's still my favorite.

rexsjain » pro 6 months ago
why is the rating 4.8??????
the_doz » pro 6 months ago
I bet the guy who invented Comic Sans goes through and gives all the strips a 1. Adjust your ratings accordingly.
foetus_punch » neu 6 months ago
A few weeks ago, I was exceedingly stoned, and so I decided to get a picture of ray's face, make it my background, bring up this comic and shrink the browser down real small, and jump it over ray.

Remember, kids: always read achewood stoned!
the_stoned_one » neu 6 months ago
they can also use the second screen to enjoy pictures of ladies mashing up birthday cakes with their bottoms
the_prophet » pro 6 months ago
This is infact the first strip I've read
jonnay » neu 5 months ago
These are the ideas I wish I had when I approach a blank sheet of paper.
crev_gibax » neu 5 months ago
I just signed up so I could say this is the single funniest strip of hilarity I have ever read.
vermy » pro 4 months ago
Ray is a man of simple pleasures. Such a man is hard to find these days.
captainphaze » neu 4 months ago
As soon as I read this, I started Remote Desktopping people just to see what they were up to. This, unfortunately did not arise. For shame, my workplace.
xiaomimi » neu 4 months ago
Today's Blogs

Ray: What the hell, man?
Roast Beef: almost feelin' good today
Mr. Bear: Rematch.
Lyle: nice beans
Onstad: Still no Teodor
rowboat » pro 3 months ago
Alright, people. That's fucked up. Whether or not you give a damn about what the blog girl does, marking it lame is just obnoxious.
envika » neu 3 months ago
725 chubbies vs. 5 lames?

seems there aren't many of these "people"
straw » neu 2 months ago
But all of them are lame.
stormagnet » pro 3 months ago
I applaud your public service efforts, xiaomimi. Whenever I have a chubby left when I hit the bottom of the page, it goes to you.
em2 » pro 4 months ago
Everest.
Because it's there.
dwodles » neu 3 months ago
The alt text alone gives me hell of such as a girl-boner. ...if that even exists.
direhaggis » neu 3 months ago
Pay sites abound.
jthm_guitarist » pro 2 months ago
Another elusive Achewood that makes me laugh out LOUD.
Even when he knows no one is around, Ray is always doing something funny.
mattylite » pro 2 months ago
I think maybe 15% of the funniness is from Teodor's lo-tech labelling of the "Ray" monitor. But 15% of infinity is, like, still infinity, right?
aliiis » pro 1 months ago
Yes. I guess that I'm retarded, but when I first read this one I was thinking it was funny/awesome that Ray had labelled his own monitor 'RAY' in large, childish capitals - like as though the last three panels were a kind of 'cut to: what Ray's doing' scene. Then thought oh no, wait, remote desktop, that is just a marker for T and RB as shown in the first panel and Ray probably does not actually have an upside-down post-it note claiming his monitor as his own. Actually, I think I like to think he does. So both ways work?
voloshg » pro 1 months ago
The simplicity is astounding. Sorry, I'm new at this so I can't add to each strip as much as analyze it.
massialot » pro 1 months ago
mrslickster » neu 1 months ago
This is also the most pure, simple expression of the appeal of video games. I will show it to the next person who fails to see why people play video games. This game could be called "Fuck you, fucking giant mountain, I fucking owned you with my fucking bicycle"
