==Explanation== | ==Explanation== | ||
− | + | Another entry into the [[My Hobby]] series. | |
− | + | "{{w|O RLY?}}" is an Internet meme typically used to express sarcastic agreement with or feigned surprise at a statement. The typical response to "O RLY" is usually "YA RLY", "NO WAI" or "SRSLY?" These exchanges are all just so many SMS abbreviations for "Oh really?", "Yeah really", "No way!", and "Seriously?" respectively | |
− | |||
− | + | [[Cueball]]'s response avoids this typical exchange though, instead replying with another cliche: the double entendre. For example: | |
− | + | :Friend: You're such a messy eater. | |
+ | :You: Eat her? I hardly know her! | ||
+ | |||
+ | Such a double entendre makes no sense in the context of an O RLY exchange, and will only serve to derail the conversation.That's really all there is to this comic. Cueball/Randall are bored of cliches, and are finding ways to amuse themselves. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the ''title text'' the joke is that the real cliché is that ''you fight fire with fire'', whereas in the comic, Cueball fights a cliché with another cliché. | ||
