It's usually pretty funny imo

It's too smart for you, apparently. (That one does suck, but the hover text probably put it into perspective.)

[JenJen]

has someone started an anon account to make this thread?

extreme.

It's actually very clever, which wouldn't appeal to you, would it?

case in point: this reference to a 2006 ad campaign which lacks any insight whatsoever, right?

I think the original comic has something to do with feminism and how women can ask men to marry her. The humor comes in since the man is so nonchalant about it, where you know a woman would be very excited lol!

The strip's title is Empirical. As in, empirical research. Empirical research means you gain knowledge through direct observation or experience. If he wants to find out empirically if he'll marry her, well... =p

It's not particularly funny in and of itself, but it's clever. The mouseover makes it work. xkcd isn't about funny as much as it's about clever.

If you think xkcd is bad, you should check out their irc.

#xkcd-love is possibly the most scariest place on the internet. Socially awkward people go there to talk about being socially awkward, and no love is actually discussed.

It's like autism city down there.

The fact that you even know that #xkcd-love exists speaks volumes.
