"A BLOOOO BLA BLOO BLOO BLOOOOOOOO" is the sound I make when I wish to mock a person for being a huge pussy. I sound it out very carefully whilst extending my lower lip.

Sometimes I wish Lyle were the main character instead of Ray. Then I realize that reading the comic would just be like talking to that guy who just brags about how wasted he gets all the time.

Lyle seems like the kind of guy who doesn't consider himself wasted until he no longer is capable of knowing how wasted he is.
Or, to coin a phrase, if you can tell someone how many drinks you had in one night, you weren't doing it right.

I came through here on a archives trawl and was gonna post something about this being classic Lyle when I realized I'd already done it a year ago. Things don't change, I guess.

Just as well you didn't say as such, or at least didn't use the word "classic". It is become synonymous with "clichéd".

Yep. I think the passage of time actually added to the joke. Now it's instinctive to mentally fill in "YouTube" after the ellipsis. But then the last panel is so much worse than a random YouTube video.

The first time I read this one I laughed so hard that it was difficult to breathe, and eventually I even had difficulty making sounds. The thought that this sort of laughing was kind of like blubbering made me laugh for longer.

What's so hilarious about your comment is how clear it is that you totally just made up the way to spell "onomatopoeia".
I imagine this will come across bitchier than intended.

That is also not blubbering, but mockery in the form of shapeless words. The same effect would be achieved with "a-derp-de-derp-de-doo" such as South Park's style.

By now I use this unique piece of onomatopoeia to mock those who are whining and crying over inconsequential matters.
"dude i'm cold, can't you turn the heat up, i hate sitting in the back all the time, why come you guys always call shotgun before me, i can't believe this..."
*Cue PLUMMET turning around in the driver's seat to face the whiny passenger.*
PLUMMET: ABLOO-BLA-BLOO-BLOO-BLOOOOOOOOO! *loudly repeated until guest quiets down*

When someone's tickling me mercilessly (not fun happy-time tickles, soulless, cruel and inhumane tickle torture sessions of unruly pain), I am known to make the same noise.
Reading this comic, I smooshed my arms to my sides from reflex.
