Nerding Day: The Best of 2020 đ (Patreon)
Content
Nerds! You god damn nerds! Paying money for jokes on the internet is the nerdiest thing possible, and thatâs including both card tricks and ukelele covers. But you nerds are precious to us. We appreciate every second you spend reading our comedy instead of a six-thousand word thinkpiece on which Doctor Who would fuck which other Doctor Who. We treasure every moment you spend with us instead of an anime body pillow that says your name in broken English when you squeeze it. We value every glasses-fogging, asthmatic giggle we tickle out of your soft bellies straining at the edges of T-shirts advertising old video games. This, then, is your day: Nerding Day. And these are the best Nerding Days youâve had all year.
Nerding Day
Teenage Mutant Hero Turtle Joke Book
There are, without hyperbole, several too many jokes about insects on pizza in this book. Something happened to this author, probably seeing an insect on pizza, that caused him to find insects on pizza outrageous. This information isnât particularly interesting or funny, but when someone does something as strange as drawing this many bug-infested pizzas, I take detailed notes. It might make for a bad comedy article, but it will definitely help catch the man authorities will one day call the Papa Johnâs Killer.

Show Off! How To Be Cool At Parties
At least one time in his career, a cruise director has told Fred Newmanâs agent, âWeâve already booked our headliner and I donât think the ship needs a second Dave Coulier.â Jesus, I need to step away for a second because thatâs the fucking meanest joke Iâve ever written.
Everyone The Wonder Twins Rescued Should Be Dead
Sean has promised me that this wonât be one of our public columns, so I feel safe admitting this only to you, our loyal patrons: I have always wanted to be a magical girl.
Foam rubber muscle suits just donât hold up when theyâre flesh-toned. It looks like Lion-O is mostly tumor and sass. This is what the melty guy from RoboCop would look like if, instead of being hit by a patrol car, he was hit by the theater bug.
Itâs tough to do even one âHero Resists The Callâ right, and Jetman is doing four at once. The end result is less like weâre being introduced to a reluctant cast of would-be heroes, and more like everybody in the world is already aware of, and fucking hates Jetman.
Ultimate Tag was an idea so bad it wouldnât fly as a MadTV skit, and it was executed worse than Muammar Gaddafi, a Baltimore traffic stop, or a MadTV skit. Ultimate Tag sucks⊠but what weâre really here to do is make fun of the Ultimate Taggers.
Michael Caine is in The Last Witch Hunter for a grand total of about 3 minutes, before heâs put into a magical coma and replaced by Elijah Wood, who should also be too good for this film but is miraculously not.
For every second of his screen time, it is so very clear that Michael Caine just has no patience for this shit.
But no joke, that basically looks like a video game. Like if you showed this to your grandpa, heâd say itâs a videogame and then look at you pityingly, wondering where it all went wrong with our generation. Maybe it was a mistake to stop spraying pesticides over schools. Maybe it softened us up too much. âGrandpa?â youâd ask, but heâd just ease the brakes off his wheelchair and roll quietly backwards down a hill.
