Anyone else think those BifSniff cartoons are painfully unfunny?

    Frankly, I think those little cartoons that pop up on the front page are just outright lame. The only one that got any kind of reaction from me was that one of the horse in fishnets, but only because it disturbed me... and aroused me. :v:

    But seriously though, these cartoons suck, don't they?

    don't really bother me that much as they are adblocked at home and the firewall in work blocks boards

    *shrug*
    Don't bother me tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,688 ✭✭✭grimloch


    Adds some colour to the front page and if it gets a few euros for boards then I don't particularly see the harm.

    I don't find them in the least bit amusing tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭Scraggs


    no harm in them but not one bit funny


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Oh indeed, I never said they were of any harm, and they're hardly bothersome, but they're not in the least bit funny either. But sure, if they do get a few euros for boards, then fair play.

    Just a bit of a useless rant, really.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,455 ✭✭✭weemcd

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,811 ✭✭✭✭billy the squid

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,039 ✭✭✭✭Kintarō Hattori


    Yup- they are the suckiest sucky things ever.

    reading this thread was funnier tbh, but in bringing in the money for boards, i dont mind it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Ah right :)

    Well the one on now is not great, anyways :p

    Sellouts!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,335 ✭✭✭Cake Fiend


    Yeah, they're sh1te. Each one seems like something you could have thought up yourself in the pub, only wouldn't have told anyone because they wouldn't have laughed :/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,811 ✭✭✭✭billy the squid


    i dunno, i thought this one was funny

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,231 ✭✭✭✭Sparky


    we should place cults Cultsult in its place :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,388 ✭✭✭Kernel


    I thought the one with the 2 lads drinking with the weird looking reindeer was genius. The highlight of my year so far (apart from new years day down the local drinking with the lads and the reindeers).

    Don't think much of them myself but someone obviously likes them, so fair enough!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,248 ✭✭✭4Xcut


    there like cristmas cracker jokes, you don't laugh because they're funny but rather because someone else does


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 420 ✭✭RustySpoon


    I have to stick up for them because i think some of them are very good.

    Look through the archives and you will find some great ones.
    I think the good cop bad cop, the lads on the cross and the horsemen of the apocolypse are very good.

    Each to their own when it comes to humour but i can't believe i am the only one that finds these amusing....am i...:o

    It's kinda like the author is trying his hardest to be Gary Larson but failing dismally on all fronts. Originality needed please!

    Agreed!

    But what people don't realise is that Paperclips are the larval form of Coathangers. They need to be told.

    Never noticed it before, and yeah, it's no Garfield is it?.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,309 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    Not funny in the slightest. A waste of space on the home page.

    Unless of course it's bringing in money for boards.ie. .. is it?

    Can't be much anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,117 ✭✭✭✭MrJoeSoap


    We should have a random Onion story on the front page.

    But thats just me being selfish, cos I got my Onion day-calender yesterday!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,909 ✭✭✭europerson


    They're woefully unfunny.

    If it's bringing in money then I'll adblock one by one.
    Othwise the Iframe stays removed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,225 ✭✭✭Scruff


    instead of starting another thread i'd just like to also say that yes they suck. Gave them a few weeks without saying anything in the hope they'd improve but alas no. must get adblocker.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 990 ✭✭✭mickymg2003


    Never looked at them tbh, which is surprising because i usually get distracted by colourful things!!!They should be replaced with white ninja


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,482 ✭✭✭RE*AC*TOR


    Can anyone confirm that they are actually bringing in revenue? They are quite poor really, as said previously they are a poor man's farside. At least if they were updated daily, but the fact that they change so infrequently heightens their suckiness.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    they're woefull

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    Anal probe was pretty funny I have to admit. The rest , well....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,106 ✭✭✭dar83


    http://www.bifsniff.com/images/cartoons/agaymakes.gif
