M.C. Hammer Slide

Explanation

The base part of the comic is self-explanatory: Girl attracts Boy, Boy notices Girl, Boy approaches Girl, Girl reacts positively, Boy falls in love, Girl decides to answers lovecall, happily ever after etc. Randall hasn't done this (once), and regrets it, according to the image text.

Only thing worth explaining is the way Girl catches attention of Boy in the comic: through the signature move of 1980's rapper MC Hammer (the slide). To watch MC Hammer doin' the slide, click here

Rikthoff (talk) The issue date is off, because the image doesn't have a create date. Can anyone fix the date?

I love the idea behind this comic, but I think it would be awkward when you are on a date and, for example, you walk into a restaurant together. People might look at you weird. 108.162.219.58 20:38, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Why would you care how strangers look at you? That would be a miserable, stressful existence. If someone doesn't like a consensual thing you're doing, the problem is them, not you. -Kazvorpal (talk) 22:22, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

I want to live in the universe where Randall Munroe was serious about having seen this girl IRL. And that's despite having despised the Hammer Slide since its inception. — Kazvorpal (talk) 13:39, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
