Banter |
Title text: This was an actual mock conversation between me and a friend at TGIF. The waitress walked up around panel 5 and was somewhat put off. |
Explanation
Two guys are trash-talking each other with homophobic comments and your-mom jokes. It goes somewhat astray and becomes awkward when the first guy makes a pass at the second guy and is rejected.
Part of the element of the humor in this comic stems from the common assertion that the most-homophobic of men are the most likely to be a closeted homosexual. Another element is the incredible awkwardness of the end conversation.
Fag, Ass pirate, Fudge packer, and Cock Jockey are all insults for a homosexual man. Cum Dumpster can apply to both men and women (usually conveying sluttiness).
Randall's title text, that he mock-held this conversation with a friend in a TGIF restaurant indicates how awkward this would be in real life. Even the waitress, a bystander, is put off by it.

Discussion
There is a community portal discussion of what to call Cueball and what to do in case with more than one Cueball. I have added this comic to the new Category:Multiple Cueballs. In this case there is no reason to call one Cueball and the other friend. It could easily be the other way. So I have changed to remove Cueball--Kynde (talk) 13:34, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
