162.158.94.104: I still don't "get" the joke. I don't think the explanation here is adequate!

This comic is unique (or, if not unique, certainly uncommon) in the continuity of XKCD in that it relies purely on physical humor of a sort that usually belongs to more lowbrow comics, TV shows or movies. Most of XKCD's humor is based on cleverness, curiosity, social frustrations or quirks, or analysis of our world – comparatively "intellectual" humor. In this comic, none of that is present; instead, the only "joke" centers around Cueball being physically assaulted. Interesting.

:Well there is [[677]] "Green Flash", in which the only "joke" centers around the idea of Black Hat knocking Cueball unconscious so he can steal his car. And I believe there are any number of comics where one of the protagonists is pummeled or otherwise harmed, either on or off panel, with the intent that we laugh at it. I believe there is a continuum of such humor in xkcd, along with all the "intellectual" humor as well. I don't think this one is interesting on that particular basis.

::No no, 677 is the one where [[Beret Guy]] gets a backhoe and hits [[Cueball]] and [[Megan]] with the digger. I think you're referring to [[766]]. <small>[[User:MrGameZone|0100011101100001011011010110010101011010011011110110111001100101]] ([[User talk:MrGameZone|talk page]])</small> 20:56, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

I don't think blackhat is at a loss to finish the joke. Based on his personality, the punchline to the solar plexus joke was literally a punch to the solar plexus. {{unsigned|Flewk}}
This might be a reference to Wayne's World with "a sphincter says what"

I still don't "get" the joke. I don't think the explanation here is adequate! [[Special:Contributions/162.158.94.104|162.158.94.104]] 21:50, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

162.158.94.104: Add grammar discussion

In a way telling the virus the 'bad' news actually should get them to work on more variants, so in a way Black Hat is encouraging COVID to mutate faster :S[[Special:Contributions/141.101.104.5|141.101.104.5]] 14:52, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
:Which would be typically [[72: Classhole|Classhole]] Black Hat ;-) --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 15:04, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Anyway we don't get an answer to the question in the third pane. "They work for {{Wikipedia|World Health Organization|W.H.O.}}?". Hopefully this will be answered in a later comic. Inquiring minds want to know. --[[Special:Contributions/141.101.69.211|141.101.69.211]] 11:32, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
:Huh? the answer is that they work for "COVID". the who question is more of a statement of surprise that COVID is a client (and isn't related to the WHO orgaization). [[Special:Contributions/172.69.34.52|172.69.34.52]] 19:29, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

:::W.H.O.'s on first. [[User:Barmar|Barmar]] ([[User talk:Barmar|talk]]) 01:19, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Shouldn't that be: "They work for whom?" [[Special:Contributions/162.158.94.104|162.158.94.104]] 09:53, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
