So somehow, cold batter burst into flame because she made coffee. Not only that but she apologized so we know it was somehow her fault. Would love a follow up comic to explain this.
@Stewie: this joke has nothing to do with her being a woman, it’s a running gag about her not being able to cook without setting something on fire. It would work as well if the roles here were reversed, or if both were boys.
If it were about the woman stereotype then she “would belong in the kitchen” or something equally asinine, which is more or less the opposite of the joke here.
In other words: be careful when applying childish sarcasm, it makes you look even more stupid when you are wrong.
If “the classics” are sexist, then no. Also, if “the classics” are not funny because they are overused and bad, also no. But feel free to get over YOURself?
@Balanza
Please read the first comment on this page and then try replying again. Stewie was responding to that comment specifically, which was, indeed, about her being a woman.
In other words: Be careful trying to lecture people without reading carefully, because all this has done is ironically make you look stupid while also being wrong.
@Kaole Tsutako
A sexist joke is no different than a race joke or a mean animal joke, I say jokes like that all the time. They are just jokes that some people find amusing, wether or not they are actually funny. Am I a sexist or a racist, no, but I like the jokes. People need to calm down about these things, and when that happens, we would have less stupid fights that were caused by one person saying something stupid.
Sexist and racist jokes (I have no idea what a “mean animal joke” is) are not ones to be made in mixed company, specifically because many people do NOT find them funny, and you never know who might (rightfully) take exception to such a crass attempt at humor.
It was not a funny joke, it was old, it was as insulting as ever, and the person who made the joke deserves whatever reaction they receive for thoughtlessly making such a “joke”.
“I’M NOT SEXIST OR RACIST I JUST LIKE SEXIST OR RACIST JOKES”. Have fun convincing anyone of that. No, if we allow this kind of shit to keep being spread around, it reinforces stereotypes and ideas, and makes people think it’s okay to say this kind of crap.
It isn’t.
Yeah. A sexist joke is no different from a racist joke. Both are discriminatory, both deserve ridicule if they’re made carelessly, and neither is justifiable. “Because some people think they’re funny” doesn’t excuse them.
@dan
You should really watch what kind of language you use, kid. BTW, not that I’m in college or anything, but college is year-round. You’ll find out if you ever make it out of highschool.
@Kaole Tsutako
You will also find that people on both sides of the joke tell the same jokes. I have worked with Mexican mechanics who told jokes against Mexicans, and women who make fun of the women’s jokes. I learned some of the funniest racist jokes from the race they were making fun of. It only enforces the stereotype if you yourself are afraid of the stereotype or are sub notionally racist/sexist yourself. Watch the Harold and Kumaar movies, it gives perfect evidence to my point of view.
Animal joke:
What has two legs and one arm?
A pitbull in a playground! (Rim Shot)
@Tom
“How many members of a certain demographic group does it take to perform a specified task?”
“A finite number: one to perform the task and the remainder to act in a manner stereotypical of the group in question.”
@q`Tzal
That argument works both ways, calling my side wrong because you have evidence to support it does not discount the evidence that supports my side. Both sides have their leaders, followers, and extremists. The leaders are the ones that promote the displays of their belief, ie us who are in the debate, the followers just read and agree or disagree. The extremists are the ones who go overboard, and both sides have them. The extremists on my side blatantly blame the offended in public and insult the person more making the situation worse, like Daniel tosh or the comedian from Seinfeld. While your side pickets and protests a funeral like the westboro baptist church.
While this discusion is heated here, we certainly do not have the numbers to conduct an accurate poll to decide which demographic has majority, we we both have evidence that supports our own opinion.
Here’s a radical idea: Why don’t we all try reading other people’s posts carefully before replying, so we don’t end up getting all hot’n’bothered over something that we didn’t fully get the gist of?
So much butt hurt. Comic is just hilarious as always :)
*looks and just sees a bunch of scrubs qq’ing because “Oh no, someone said or did something that I feel is wrong on the internet!” Christ… Calm the hell down and get over your white knighting syndrome.
And don’t go making any ginger jokes… because that is about as bad as a racist or sexist joke. You discriminate against a genetic minority and find it funny. But yet you throw up your fists at a racist/sexist joke because you feel those matter. You are bad people and you should all feel bad. Hope you get dick punched by the next person you make a joke to/about ;)
@dan
So you think the only reason a male could dislike sexism is thar he wants to get laid?
Okaaay.
Women/kitchen jokes aside that one was sexist against males, which includes me, so shut up.
You know, all these comments are being spawned because I made a joke about how bad the stay in the kitchen joke was. All these people asking why I can’t take a joke?
Why can’t YOU take a joke? If I want to make a joke about how comically stupid you are, you should just get over it.
Also, what’s with all these guys rushing to defend the people making the sexist jokes? I hate to break it to you, but they aren’t going to have sex with you just because you’re taking their side.
Another question is, why does everybody make everything about getting laid? Just because I make a sexist joke doesn’t mean I am not having sex. The fact is I am married, and tell my wife these joke and guess what, when I tell her to go make me a sandwich, she tells me to go fix the car. 1 the car isn’t broken. 2 I don’t know the first thing about cars. If a woman can put up with a joke that insults her, you can too.
@Tom I don’t know, why DO they keep making it about getting laid?
And if you think that “I know a woman who thinks the joke is funny so therefore it isn’t offensive to women” is at all logical, I’m not really sure why I’m even bothering.
The point I am making is they are harmless. There is a difference between a joke and out right discrimination. And once everyone sees that it would be a better place. If one person gets over the the fact it’s a joke, you all can.
Meh,.. now I have to go all the way back to when she joined the group as a spy to find the reference.
Off topic: Is “MarySue” the “Superman” of this series? She just does “everything” she wants.
@Phyrexian_Rogue: She always had that power. If she does as much as looks into the kitchen, the food burst into flames.
By the way the art styles of the two main artist (Mr. Dork and Mr. Sausage) has really diverged over the last arc. I hope it’ll become a little more similar again in the future, it’s kinda odd, before I didn’t really notice who draw which stip, now I do.
Oh there’s no ‘irony’ in your comments stewie or whatever you call yourself, no this is more of a case of someone (ie: you) making a childish, highly sarcastic and provocative comment and then try to backtrack yourself in proclaiming ‘it’s irony’ or disguising it as some kind of wonderful wit that only you can understand.
I don’t even consider you a troll, more a spineless soul who uses the internet as a cheap form of self-empowerment by being aggressive, sarcastic and a coward.
Well I found the reference,.. Buckaress was standing next to a pot,.. as soon as she tried to boil water,.. it burst into flame,.. It was part of the week where each hero showed off his /her cooking style.
So she has the power to cause food items to combust while she’s cooking. By the loose standards of this verse, I’d say she definitely has a superpower.
Is this the only time you don’t want a woman in the kitchen?
Is this because LP is being watched or does Buckaress have a superpower? Like the power to ruin cooking?
I’m guessing the latter. Lazer Pony is a surprisingly good cook.
Zargon – pretty sure we’ve seen this before. Any cooking that happens. BOOM.
@Kenzie
HAHAHAHAHA
WOW THAT IS SO FUNNY!
YOU ARE SO FUNNY!
Do you write your own material? Do you? Because it so fresh!
A joke about women in the kitchen. I’ve NEVER heard a joke about that before!
Presumably someone else brewed the coffee for her…
@stewie
Get over yourself, let us have a little fun with the classics.
So somehow, cold batter burst into flame because she made coffee. Not only that but she apologized so we know it was somehow her fault. Would love a follow up comic to explain this.
@BMW: The comic is implying that she is so bad at cooking that even other people who cook near her end up burning what they’re making.
@Stewie: this joke has nothing to do with her being a woman, it’s a running gag about her not being able to cook without setting something on fire. It would work as well if the roles here were reversed, or if both were boys.
If it were about the woman stereotype then she “would belong in the kitchen” or something equally asinine, which is more or less the opposite of the joke here.
In other words: be careful when applying childish sarcasm, it makes you look even more stupid when you are wrong.
So Buckaress presence is like the Pauli effect for Cooking?
that is interesting that she doesn’t even have to be close for the Chaos Cooking Effect to kick in.
Now we have to have her go out to a park where people are grilling and see how far that power stretches. :P
I wonder if, in the gender reversed Universe, her alt-self is a top cook.
BTW why is LP complaining about? That dough had to be cooked, anyway.
@ Atristain
There’s a difference between cooked and charcoal ^_~
Okay it’s either Buckaress has superpowers which involves burnt cooking or the kitchen just really hates having her around
@Tom
If “the classics” are sexist, then no. Also, if “the classics” are not funny because they are overused and bad, also no. But feel free to get over YOURself?

Those are some really big eggs. O.o
Are those super jumbo sized or something?
Marnath, in THIS city I think the likely answer is mutant chickens. Or possibly dinosaur eggs
@Marnath: They look like average sized free range eggs to me.
I still say it’s a curse cast upon her by the Desperate Housewitch
@Kaole Tsutako beat me to everything I was going to say.
Also I put my name as “Stewie” in that as a reference.
@Zargon
remember the witch friend what she has?, the reason what anything burns when its being cooked when she its around, its because that “friend”
@Kaole Tsutako

She really has a power of Luck/Jinx
So many whiny cunts today. I guess college is back in session.

I joke about everything.
So …. she is in fact a super !
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/internet_white_knight_colored_4350.jpg
So many of these types. Guess what? It’ll never get you laid.
She really needs to figure out a way to leverage that superpower into something useful.
@dan
So you think the only reason a male could dislike sexism is thar he wants to get laid?
Okaaay.
Women/kitchen jokes aside that one was sexist against males, which includes me, so shut up.

Well I guess that IS a superpower of sorts. More of use for a villain than a hero, but beggars really can’t be choosers in that city.
@Biglongnamethatisalinktoanothercomic

And if you think that “I know a woman who thinks the joke is funny so therefore it isn’t offensive to women” is at all logical, I’m not really sure why I’m even bothering.
Not really a power, more like a curse. Did this start happening before her Frenemy the witch was introduced?
The point I am making is they are harmless. There is a difference between a joke and out right discrimination. And once everyone sees that it would be a better place. If one person gets over the the fact it’s a joke, you all can.

@Tom
Saying some bigoted in joke form is still saying something bigoted.
One person getting over does not mean everyone else should get over it.
I’ve heard the exact same bullshit from Southerners using the N-Word, because they supposedly know a black guy who doesn’t mind.
So Buckaress officially has the power to burn cookery. Once the gingerbread men attack, she will save the world!
@Phyrexian_Rogue: She always had that power. If she does as much as looks into the kitchen, the food burst into flames.
By the way the art styles of the two main artist (Mr. Dork and Mr. Sausage) has really diverged over the last arc. I hope it’ll become a little more similar again in the future, it’s kinda odd, before I didn’t really notice who draw which stip, now I do.

And I stand by that.
Good day.
@MichaelHaneline
I actually thought that you might have died. Used to read TwiceBlessed and then it just stopped.
Well I found the reference,.. Buckaress was standing next to a pot,.. as soon as she tried to boil water,.. it burst into flame,.. It was part of the week where each hero showed off his /her cooking style.
@Saurez at what point did I backtrack? What the hell are you talking about?
@Heyyou
The problem is that I was the writer and my wife was the artist. That… doesn’t work out anymore.
I’ve got a new possible artist that I’m working on picking the comic back up with now. Someone whose art style is similar to gen’s.
What do you tell a woman with two black eyes?
Nothing you already told her twice.
What do you do when your wife serves you you food in the living room?
Shorten her chain, that bitch should have never made it out of the kitchen.
So she has the power to cause food items to combust while she’s cooking. By the loose standards of this verse, I’d say she definitely has a superpower.
I want to see her use this for good somehow. She’d be the perfect choice to deal with a villain named ‘the chef’.
Guys guys, the kitchen has superpowers, and is haunted.
It makes perfect sense!
That or sudden combustion of culinary creations for a super power.
She should really find a way to harness that power. Maybe…she could make handgrenades from flour and baking-soda stuffed in paper bags! :o
Hope she meets someones whose power is cooking
I hope Bucky figures out a way to exploit this ‘ability’ in battles, like attacking someone with a buttered knife, and it becomes a flaming sword…
