| − | I love the comics like this that work on multiple levels.

| − | ::Crossbows do fire bolts, so the only reason you wouldn't want to quarrel about it is because you would be wrong.

| − | ::However, the word "arrow" comes from the official transcript, so YOU don't want to quarrel about it either, 'K? [[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.223|108.162.219.223]] 07:19, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

| − | ::: Please check your adds on the preview before committing it here. Everything you do save here is viewable to everyone; that's just annoying. I just want to see your primary intention, because THAT'S IMPORTANT, if that doesn't work fix it at PREVIEW before we get a mess here. I'm just happy if I can understand what you are talking about. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 00:27, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

| − | The explanation states that it is Black Hat speaking in the title text. It makes much more sense if it is Randall speaking, but just demonstrating a slightly black-hat tendency. In my opinion. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.223|108.162.219.223]] 17:58, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

| − | :Yeah, but in the original comic's title text, it uses the single-quotes--that wasn't just added by explainxkcd as a formatting thing. When Randall is supposed to be the one speaking, there are no quotation marks in the title text... that implies this one is a quote from Black Hat.

| − | There's another joke not mentioned in the explanation. Cueball said "You're not really the '''catch''' type, are you." since Black Hat shot the basketball instead of '''catching''' it. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.246|108.162.219.246]] 21:32, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

| − | There is a [[explain_xkcd:Community_portal/Proposals#Merge_Cueball_.26_Rob|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 Category:Multiple Cueballs. I switched which Cueball is called Cueball in the transcript so now the one named Cueball has all the interesting comments of this comic and also he is the one shooting at the hoop and passing to Black-Hat. Also made a note that the other guy also looks like Cueball. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 08:23, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
