It seems to me that panel four is referencing the "This is why we can't have nice things" meme.--208.233.39.21 13:23, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Well maybe. Because without knowing that meme it seems like there is something missing. (Like "...we can't have nice people visiting"). --Kynde (talk) 15:21, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

I interpret the title text (about how he writes nice things he would say to the girl in the journal) as part of his technique: he puts himself in the mood of being interested in the girl so that his facial and body language would convey this information as best as possible (so, for example, he will be able to generate a fake blush).

I thought the title text was Black Hat insulting nice people by burning their thoughts 162.158.57.101 18:47, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
It is probably both --Kynde (talk) 15:21, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

I think Black Hat's roommate is Rob, rather than Cueball. 108.162.221.140 17:40, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

I just did this exact thing to a poor girl. It really is like shooting fish in a barrel, minus the blood (hopefully). Also, I’d love to see this play out in a different way, where black hat is approached by the girl and him, being unprepared due to his naive belief that all the girls it works on are too shy to approach him because he believes himself to be able to perfectly deduce whether a girl is shy just by looking at her and therefore lacking a proper response, shuts down and settles with a “non-crazy girl” and drives her insane with his antics. I’d love to see how black hat interacts romantically with “‘normal” girls. stevethenoob 19:58, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
