Beef just looks so mad .

Or maybe just really embarrassed. He does hang his head.

Given that a chortle would be so out of character, it cannot be. It must be embarrassment at being called out.

I dunno, it looks to me like he is straining to cut the cheese.

You see, "cut the cheese" is an idiomatic phrase in American English for farting.

I realize this was posted almost a year ago, but regardless, and at risk of great laming; I enjoy you. That is all.

You cannot define "American" and "English" as different languages unless they are "genuinely mutually unintelligible," according to the laws of linguistics. If you were to make such a claim, you would be laughed out of your career as a linguist. Because you are clearly not a linguist, you have no authority to make that claim.

Soticoto deserves it.

He's not really. He is merely correcting a person who made a statement that was incorrect.

Not really. Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic and Danish are pretty mutually intelligible, but they're all classed as different languages. That's like linguistics 101, man, who're you to talk about authority?

https://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=209571
Not the most academic of sites around, admittedly, but you get the picture.

Not even close, bucko.
And even if you were entirely correct- which you are not- this is not the definition of separate languages, but the classification of a dialect.
Dickery to strangers is disallowed around here.

Chubby for (if I interpret this threading right) mocking soticoto however.

Well, mr "career as a linguist" (the failure of which would be considered a high achievement) ... have you heard of Peripatric Speciation? Think on it awhile.

That's what I keep trying to tell them but they just won't listen THEY JUST WON'T LISTEN

Actually there is such a thing as American English. I have that option on my GPS, right next to British English. It changes the phrasing just slightly .

P.S. It concerns me how big a douche bag you are. We're talking epic level bastard here.
I don't know whether to take a picture of you and send it to Ripley's Believe it or Not or purchase a broadsword and do battle with you.

Yeah, when you approach a roundabout in the UK.

British English: At the roundabout, take the, second, exit.
American English: WOAH! What the fucking hell is this!?

The hell you don't know what "cut the mustard" and "cut the cheese" mean. I call bullshit.

Way to state the obvious. Most of your calls are bullshit.

He is wincing with the shame.

Seriously. T-Adore is incredibly sassy today, what the dang.

Do you blame the guy? He's just pissed at how much everyone sucks.
I mean come on, I fucking hate when Philippe makes that goddamn face. He had that coming.

You should not get mad at a kid

That is bad parenting T-adore

It is funny parenting though.

And in the end, that's what really counts.

ugh

In retrospect, I should have known better.

Young, dumb, full of etc.

That face reminds of annoying screaming children so hard , I want to jump into the comic and kick him in his face.

I do not necessarily think this is all one day. The disjointed nature of the panels (notice that for the Beef encounter, everything is slightly to the right, not in alignment with the others) suggests that this is really three vignettes of what it means to be Teodor Orezscu - just every once in a while he has to be the straight man to everyone else's retarded shit, dealing with rich overgrown brats all playing video games with expensive set up equipment and the same word three times in the title; friends who have no pride in themselves and are so scared of success they make their depression a vicious cycle of self-hatred, lame jokes, and negative times between friends; little bullet-head kids all desire and spittle with no restraint or shame...

I want to be a Teodor when I grow up.

Teodor is in hell of bad mood today.

He does kind of look like he just got busted doing something wrong.

Perhaps he just got... yellled aaat?

I look like that when I need to cut the cheese... what is going on here??

Beef is getting called out yet again for his questionable taste in apparel.

He's embarrassed. He hates being called out for his t-shirts almost as much as he hates actually wearing them.

the dude got caught in an unenviable position. can't say much more.

I'll take "Unnecessary final sentences" for $600, Alex.

bitchy bitchy bitch man

Ray didn't feel "Golf Revolution" or "Golf Golf Revolution" were quite classy enough.

The extra 'Golf' keeps it well apart from stuff like 'Dance Dance Revolution'

at least golf golf golf revolution won't make me have to listen to goddamn techno remixes of "It's Raining Men" while im trying to play a goddamn fucking game of pool ten feet away.

You don't know that. The could totally be the soundtrack to G3R.

I assume that the soundtrack to G3R combines the techno of DDR, plus a pipe and drum corps to honor the Scots' invention of the game.

Techno bagpipes, yo. Kilts and purple hair, plus glowsticks and sgian dubhs. Only the Japanese, man.

I really wish there wasn't already a DDR song exactly fitting that description. I also really wish I didn't have this knowledge so ready.

Their is kind of a 'techno bagpipes' song on DDR. It's called Bag and it's the hardest thing ever....Not that I'd know.

https://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=cCXQHxeijUQ&feature=related

Chubbied for "G3R".

Unfortunately, even things like https://www.interpretivearson.com/projects/ddi/ Dance Dance Immolation still have some of those kinds of songs.

he's three-ballin, bro.

G3R uses the controllers from Wii Barfly.

save for the beer glass peripheral you have to cry into. and not the pretzels and nuts. in wii barfly, the pretzels and nuts are real.

Chainsaw Ingredients

* 1/2 oz Vodka
* 1 oz Wild Turkey
* 1/2 oz Jagermeister
* Fill with Beer (Budweiser)

A chainsaw is what Teodor threw in Philippes face. Get it?

Oh man that is mega nasty

that is dog shit

... That makes more sense now.
But yet it was far more satisfying to think that Philippe had the sudden desire to go all Texas Chainsaw Massacre on the household.

Man we don't need no chumpy Jagermeister involved in a Chainsaw!

...Actually, on second thoughts, with a drink named the 'Chainsaw' we probably do.

I love the sound that makes: "SPISH!"

I didn't know it was possible to be that condescending to an otter.

We should go to the zoo sometime.

I have never loved Teodor as much as I love him right now. Maybe he's still channeling Sinatra.

Hell.. maybe he always channels ol' Blue Eyes.

Hey, he may have had gangster and arrogance issues, but the man could sing like nobody's business.

Yes! All weird timing for the sake of weird timing instead of based on phrase or taste, all a tiny bit sharp at all times.

Intriguingly, Teodor's stated politics make this make a lot of sense. History treats McCartney as a rebel and Sinata as a square, but only one of them wrote checks to Eugene McCarthy.

Why is the ash tray connected to the game console? Do you get points for taking angry drags when you're playing horribly? Is the actual golfing secondary to the cart-driving? Is the smoking the third "golf" in GGGR? Oh the intrigue!

Well since the alt text states that in G3R you have to fetch your own triangular ham sandwiches, I'd assume it's a game that is truly capturing the realism of being a golf player. I suspect it has a camera which takes your photo at the beginning of the game and awards you extra points if your clothes are ridiculous and clash horribly.

The last time we saw a game involving taking stupid photographs for points, it revolved around zombies.
Does G3R involve zombies?

The idea is not so much to play golf, as to mutter boorishly about the clientele, and the fact that this course has really gone down hill, then taking angry drags on your cigar....

In the final level, you must pacify both the head bartender who believes that Mexicans are ruining his course and Envelope, who is approaching from behind.

I will wait for the sequel, G3R: Caddyshack, where you can play in Dangerfield mode.

Does that involve some nasty debt-collecter sorts trying to corner you when you're retrieving a ball from the rough... only to have you kick all of their arses.... then run away with some badass Afro dude to join a fighting tournament on a secluded island where you all wear yellow suits and then mass combat between white-dressed and black-dressed people breaks out at the end and a guy with a claw for a hand goes missing in a hall of mirrors?






No, this is why.

DAMMIT.

"Obviously, you're not a golfer."

The dude abides

SHAME ON YOU, TEODOR!!

Kudos on once again inhabiting your avatar.

Kudos.

I do sometimes feel like a one-trick pony, though.

Wow, when you take a step back and look at it, T has to deal with a lot of ridiculous bullshit in his everyday life

He's the only character I know who's been caught running naked down a hallway and forced to do labor dressed in nothing but a discarded Starbucks cup.

I feel Philippe's pain. My parents never got me a chainsaw. Everyone at school had one. They laughed at my regular saw. I can still hear their laughter when I lie in my bed at night... alone.

Damn you, Teodor!

chainsaws are the new pogs

After Frank's fondness for chainsaws from It's Always Sunny, I might have to run out and get one myself pretty soon.

philipe is astonishingly articulate for somebody so unreasonable.

No wonder he ran for president.

Imagine if he were Six!

The very thought frightens my inner being.

One of him is plenty, thanks.

Figurative chubby!

No.

He is not an otter, he is a free man!

Really, he's ten kinds of pissed today, but tomorrow I have no doubt he'll be singing some Smiths songs to a less-than-receptive audience via webcam. The difference between his actions and those of Ray and Beef is that he is aware and ashamed.

Philippe is just cute and T is in NO MOOD for cute.

Some Cure songs, more likely.

Nerds have no sense of humour. I just have a bad one.

Ladies and Gentlemen, a new tradition has been born:

"What The Hell Tuesday."

you stole my comment.

all property is theft, except mine.

What if a horse takes it?

Fuck I am probably like one of several dozen people who are angry about being beaten to this comment.

This should be added for posterity.

That was not a Tuesday. It was a Friday. Checksum invalid.

Rowboat, I was going to chubby you for the excellent research, but getting lamed by you has killed the mood for me. Was it my Galaxy Quest reference that upset you, or do you have some complaint about my chubby? It's not cool to insult a man's personal chubby, dude.

Many apologies, sir. Yes, I lamed. But it was not of the malicious variety. It was more of a "oh, c' mon! " sort of tone. But now that it's out there, I didn't deserve a chubby for research, anyway. See, I'm on my second tour of the early strips (first as a member) and I just happened upon it on the same day that this one aired. I was all, "What the hell," so I chimed in. No diss to your personal chubby, yo. Though, if I knew what Galaxy Quest was, well, it sounds fairly lameable. (If I were the sort of person who would feel OK about leaving a colon and parenthesis face after a good natured gibe, I would do so here)

If you are on this board, chances are good that you have strong geek leanings. Given that you are mostly a geek, chances are you have seen every episode of Star Trek, various incarnations, more than once. Therefore, the movie Galaxy Quest would probably be amusing to you, should you ever choose to see it. Or, if you are entirely geek, it will enrage and belittle you (effect and cause, respectively). I myself am 5/8 geek (more from my father's side of the family), so I found it funny as all hell.

Joe Frank rules, by the way.

I don't go much beyond Star Wars and The Last Star fighter. Star Trek never quite broke through. If you're 5/8 on your own scale, I guess I'd be in the neighborhood of 3/8. I'm not good with computers, nor would I be inclined to fake sword fight in the middle of a crowded city park in broad daylight. However, I have seen Dune upwards of one hundred times and I drive a Subaru. So, there's that.

I gave this a five. Everyone is running at full speed here; in creative indolence, in expressive self-loathing and in infantile rage. Plus Teodor gets to be everybody's what-the-hell Mom, which is basically his job. And there is a touch of Frank's ring-a-ding-ding eyes in panel 5.

Teodor is a champion and ain't take no guff

Oh, you'll be a granddad, and a lonely. Your kid will be warped and a sex addict. But you'll never see the little b8trds.

Philippe is so self righteous. He knows he deserves a chainsaw like Jesus deserves a snowcone. And he's so confident he's in the right that he's not afraid to call Teodor on his own anger. If he's this self righteous now, he's going to be a real piece of work when he turns 13, develops an opinion about famous race car drivers, and discovers message boards like this one.

See the future... TODAY!

all playing video games where the goal is to not help old ladies across the street

all cute little otter mustache on his face, brought on by cute little otter adolescence...
[IMGS OFF]

Philippe is Five.
He is staying Five.
And he'll be... FIVE... FOREVER .

Holy shit, is that actuallly a reference to a 1995 Hula Hoops commercial series starring Harry Enfield?

Yes. Yes it is.
Chubb for you.

(And simultaneous surprise that I made a comment here that did NOT get any lames.)

Squee!

Dear real life otters,

Please quit giving me cutegasms at inopportune times. Why do you have to be so god damned cute all the damned time? Please quit making me say awwwwwwwww every god damn time I see you.

Sincerely,
Matty Lite

Philippe is five. All five-year-olds think they're twice as righteous as Jesus Christ.

C'mon, just give the kid a chainsaw.

I love that he doesn't just ask Phillipe what he's crying about--he asks him what the hell he's crying about. Sold.

Just noticed that he asks "What the hell" in all three strips.

We call them "rows" here in America, John Bull.

Thanks. Couldn't remember the proper term off the top of my head.

Horizontals works too.

Daaamn. Teodor threw that glass of King Piss right in Philippe's face! I hope to see a blog post about that.

Its interesting to see that Teodor equates owning a chainsaw to being covered in juice.

Well, if Philippe had a chainsaw he would use it to chainsaw people and he would get blood sprayed all over his face, unless he took preventative measures... like cutting off somebody else's face and wearing it as a mask

Philippe would NEVER put someone through the horror that is exemplified in my avatar.

This comment is hilarious now that your avatar is a picture of your face.

Oh, how we love comment/avatar synergy.

I had assumed that what Teodor splashed in Philippe's face was a chainsaw, as in the tequila-based drink.

Is teodor menopausal?

So uh, how in the world does the Golf Golf Golf Cart turn ?

It doesn't. It only goes to and from the clubhouse in a perfectly straight line. Ray's golf course is just one loong hole...

Your avatar is suitable for this situation. What strip is that from again? It slips my mind.

Chris Onstad I fucking love you.

And to think I used to be entertained by Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start.

contra code equates to automatic chubbies.

The Konami Code, to be precise, but a chubby and 30 lives for both of you nonetheless.

I'll make it "select start" and cut you in on the party, just for that.

that band kinda sucks.

the konami code existed before the moldy peaches did.

Didn't the deftones or one of those other bands also have a song about the konami code?

What the hell is the big deal with the Konami code anyway?
The best thing Konami ever made was Rocket Knight Adventures (which was, admittedly, awesome)..... Does the damned code work for that?


You and your crazy Konami code.
The first code I learnt was the good old STH lev-sel code: ^, v, <, >, A Start ... Much simpler.
Then of course there was the Debug code... then the Sonic 2 codes... the Sonic 3 code, the S3&K / S&K code...

Now I think about it, I remember quite a lot of old cheat-codes. They don't even use 'em that much any more.
Panzer Dragoon's Scenic Mode was L, L, R, R, ^, v, <, >.

I love Panzer Dragoon.

I still can't help feeling like the golf cart is angry.

I thought it said Grrr till I read the damn comic for the 3rd time.

The golf cart does not understand your hostility.

So much anger, so much rage.

Who do you think instilled the desire for a chainsaw in Philippe; Liebot or Lyle...?

Yessss the return of beef's lame shirts!

its a what the hell tues

what the hell i was so beaten

Ya know Teodor...There were probably better ways at handling that than throwing a drink in a five year old's face.

Better for whom, though?

spoken like someone without a five-year old

Regarding Beef's and Molly's blog entries...Molly seems irritated that Beef didn't choose Showbiz to be one of the groomsmen. I can't help but wonder why. She's met Showbiz and knows he can't be depended upon for anything (as Beef pointed out in his blog), and she knows about his family and could surely figure that maybe Beef doesn't want that part of his life involved in this happy occasion.

Besides, it's not that big a deal to not include your brother if you're not close. I'm getting married next year and my brother is not part of the wedding party. Nothing against him, but I'm not very close to him; I'm much closer to my friends. I don't see anything wrong with it, is what I'm saying.

All that standing around at the altar might exacerbate Showbiz's particular digestive issues.

Not to mention his eagerness to share .

I get an error saying 'Invalid Date'. Gotta delete the trailing trash "/".

I don't understand this either. When Showbiz used her soap she shaved off the outer layer with a potato peeler.

Then again she has an intuitive female understanding of marriage protocol. She explains wedding registries as correcting for a gender THAT WOULD EAT FRIED EGGS OFF A FART IF A FART LANDED ON THE LINOLEUM AND FORMED A REUSABLE SKIN: https://m.assetbar.com/achewood/uua4RCWKb

One of her recent (comparatively speaking) blog posts makes much of the idea that 'marry a dude, you marry his family'. She seemed almost enthused in a grim sort of way about dealing with Showbiz' shit. Perhaps she's like "OK, I'm very proud of myself that I'm mentally steeled to deal with your gross-arse brother, but now you've decided we're just going to exclude him? How am I supposed to feel like a martyr for our love now?"

I said the same thing on the comments for the previous strip, but on the other hand, is Todd reliable?

a twist...

Man, I love Phillipe as much as the next guy, but sometimes he needs a drink splshd in his self-righteous little mug. Show him what the real world is like. Teodor is my hero today, thanks to shit that happened to Onstad last week.

Yes, because when five-year-olds are immature, the correct solution is totally to throw things in their face.

No, it is not. That is why it is hilarious, and why it is a cartoon strip.

The raddest part of this strip has got to be Phillipe's response. He goes from self-absorbed whininess to self-absorbed righteous indignation -- like, "What the hell gives YOU the right to be mad at ME? Anyone who'd be angry with me is a BAD person! Shame on you!"

Classic five-year-old behavior. Those little fuckers can be sociopathic, man.

'The Chainsaw' is Teodor's new cocktail: Stolichnaya and OJ thrown in the face of a difficult child.

available only in the hippest clubs in san-fran at a retail price of 100 dollars

Child is $50 extra, no questions asked

I have a printed copy of your avatar on the outside of my dorm room door. And a bottle of Stolichnaya in my freezer. Kudos

If everybody jumped off a bridge while wielding chainsaws, would you jump too?

I am trying to imagine what series of events could possibly lead to such a situation. So far they are all fantastic.

The Boys Are Back in Town!

Yes, loads of folk jumping off a bridge while weilding chainsaws, and wearing large weighted penis extensions. It will be in the next edition of 1000 things to see before you die.

Hell yes. That would look awesome .

Teodor has hell of had it with ridiculous people. It's a shame that the otter kid is the only one getting a drink thrown in his face.

Can we talk about T's "turn around" hand gesture and how it totally gets off on being right in the center of the strip?

sure

I think we have gotten a lot done today.

The only one untroubled by Teodor's raunchy mood is, of course, Ray.

nah he's just hell of loose on the grapesauce. look. look at him. he's on a slight angle. brother so drunk he can't keep a straight up stance

The subtle descent of T's eyebrows from panel 5 to panel 7 carries more heartfelt disdain than a bus full of film critics.

I definitely love how his eyebrows and eyelids are all protruding in anger!

He finds Beef's lack of faith disturbing .

Ray's working some serious Fonts! on the GGGR!-cart.

I have never laughed so hard at an Achewood comic than when I saw Beefs face

Beef has completely regressed to pre-Queer Eye makeover levels.

Check out the lines that appear under T's eyes in the last three panels. Wonderfully world-weary.

it's been a long day.

for some reason teodor's little hand movement in panel 5 is cracking me up

It is not okay to be mad at Phillipe

I like the fact that Teador doesn't use a question mark in the last panel. The dude is ten kinds of rhetorical.

Beautiful. All 360 degrees of "what the hell."

Why does Téodor look like a constipated Ivy League nitwit in the second row?

Teodor.

I have a feeling that as Onstad's kid grows older, Philippe is going to become less and less adorable.

Oh my god. I just realized that they're all cartoon characters. This is my first time realizing that.

I read an article in GQ a while back that I thought put it about right. "Your best friend is your best friend; your brother is your best man."

You are stuck with that dude your whole life. Why not just throw him this one bone?

I wasn't my brother's best man, I don't anticipate him being mine. We get along fine, it's just not a thing we'd think to do.

Because my brother is a jerk?
I always thought that was a pretty good reason.

The first time I read this strip I didn't realize that the three rows of panels were independent of each other. I thought they all happened in direct sequence and were interconnected in ways I couldn't comprehend, and the whole thing seemed very dadaesque. In retrospect, that was pretty dumb.

I have that experience too often.

I think I expect the internet to make more sense than is warranted, given the circumstances.

I wonder how the ashtray and beer are implemented into the virtual golfing experience.

Last panel is awesome. How does Onstad write 5 year old dialogue so perfectly?

I think this GGGR game is defective. There's no golf bag.

Todd took it and strapped it underneath a Honda Civic

If only this was posted tomorrow instead of today, it could be a what-the-hell wednesday.

What?! Somehow I didn't read this strip when it first dropped. I feel like I accidentally just swallowed gold.

Since reading this a month ago I have taken to yelling at those who reprimand me in public - "You're MAD at me! SHAME on you!" but it just cannot compare to the hilarity here. How can you look at Philippe's furious little otter face and not laugh?

I can't respect Teodore anymore.

I wish this were the beginning of an amazing rife between him and Philippe; Philippe using his newspaper to spread Teodore propaganda. It has potential, especially considering how rich a five year old's indignation can become.

I feel great sympathy for the dude.

it's just so sad the way they are terrible at raising poor little phillipe. it's a good thing he'll never grow up, because if he did, he would be hells of scarred. not scared. well, maybe scared.

I WANT A CHAINSAW TOO!

Roast Beef: Picking Out My Dudes
Molly: Roast Beef didn't make his brother a groomsman!

Beef's shirt says to me this; I am inadequate, and I just farted.

Being the sane one is insane.

too fucking real for that shit damn

Oh god, much as I feel sorry for Phillipe, just how Good would that feel to do on like, your best mate's whiny little brother.. Oh wow Teodor, nice.

teodor is such a bitch

Teodor don't be so hard on Beef. He has enough shirt issues as it is.

Beef reminds me of someone. Ron Perlman? Just a little bit?

I love that even the ashtray in GGGR gets an A/V hook up.

Every kid needs to know what it's like to have a chainsaw.

D'oh...

The amount of comments I have made on this page is... truly ridiculous.
The amount of lames I have received for it is even more ridiculous, but then that is par for the course. No matter how much of a dick I am, the public always manage to be worse.
