The Break-Dance Move that Lie Bot Taught Philippe Thursday, June 23, 2005 • read strip Viewing 123 comments:

I would also like to teach young children this. Damned social services!

I made an animated gif of this awhile back...
[IMGS OFF]

GodDAMMIT why can't I set the whole animation as my desktop background.

hahahaha! Just need the six million dollar man sound effect while he's midair

I'm going to have to create about 1000 more names for the comment board so I can give this all the chubbies it deserves. nicely done, my friend...nicely done.

I just gave your comment it's hundredth chubby. So, if you ever read this again and are thinking, 'Wow, that's a lot of chubbies, but I wonder who gave me the hundredth?', you can know that it was me.

[IMGS OFF]

Please tell me there's also audio of this, and where to get it.

I think it's much more amusing if you are given the opporunity to provide your own sound effects. Par example, my own.

"WAGGA WAGGA WAGGA hyiin Pampf."

actually, that's pretty fuckin close.

Let's do this better.

Well done wall-splat, indeed.

oh good lord. a chubby for you my good man.

Those made me LOL so hard. So hard.

If he isn't saying "Rap Music, My Droogs!" then it just isn't the same.
Still funny though. Cats also do this.

You are the reason I'm not allowed to buy violent video games.

Apart from a job interview or a grandmother's birthday party, I'd say this qualifies as one of the worst possible moments to have a boner.

Thoughts?

Someone else fired this up elsewhere on Assetbar, but I felt it only prudent that this Shmorky-done animation be put here:

That is brilliant.

Oh, man. I really appreciate that. You ever see his "Happy New Years!" flash tube episode? "Retard Dance Party." Awesome.

I kind of want an Achewood cartoon now, and I kind of want this to be the opening title sequence

YES!!!

Oh, that's a bookmark.

It is not science, I say, that we need more of, but this.

I, for one, love Ray's floppy-armed walk.

how does this only have 53 chubbies!?!?!?!?!?!?!? COME ON PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay, so what i am doing is i am listing to that song in a new window and browsing achewood. it makes for the best thing ever!!!!!!

This is pretty much the only thing i do when drunk.

So do I, but usually its slightly less intentional.

Teodor made a good guess. That probably would have been right on a different day.

He would have been right about me at that age... if you double Philippe's age and change "pure vanilla extract" to "boullion cubes."

I disagree about the boullion cubes. That vanilla extract though. Shudder.

Vanilla extract is nothing compared to root beer extract. x_x

I too tried the boullion cubes. I also ate a chunk of that concentrated chocolate they use to boil for hot chocolate. To this day, if I smell something similar it makes me nauseous.

I didn't try boullion cubes or vanilla extract, but there was a time when i didn't know what pepper was. Then I found a jar of it in the fridge, put it directly under my nose and took a deep whiff. Agony .

That's like the first time I ate sushi, when my friend (who also had never eaten sushi) said, "What's that green stuff?" "I don't know..." "Why don't you try it?"

*gulp*

And that's why I don't eat wasabe.

I once told a girl that the Japanese consider it an insult if you don't eat the leftover wasabi after your sushi.

The slap I recieved when she found out that this isn't the case was so worth it.

Chubbied so hard for Champ Kind

Oh, wow, is that who that is?

"It kicked up a notch!"

I'm not precisely sure what kind of chocolate it is, but I do know I enjoy 80% pure chocolate. Of course, back in my childhood, or even as a teen, I'd have hated it.

...And I tried those cubes when I was a kid too. It made me sadder but wiser.

I tried to eat styrofoam. I hear that squeak all the time at work, it is though I have been sent to hell.

Awesome!
I thought I was the only idiot who ate a boullion cube and expected the delicious. Usually the exchange goes something like this:
Me: Remember when you were a kid and mistook a boullion cube for candy? Haha, wasn't that rich ?
Other dude: No, that sounds horrible. Go away.

Awkward.

actually, I enjoy pure vanilla extract by itself.

it's the buzz you never realized was in your kitchen cabinet

you can get high off of nutmeg

yes, but it takes a fair amount of it and the effects are generally described as unpleasant

I tried smoking some once, but obviously it wasn't enough to do anything so the only effect it had was tasting really horrible.

Some of the people I was with started going "Oh man, I think I'm tripping..."

No. You're not.

Likely one of the seldom-recorded instances of a narcotic placebo in full effect.

my friends and i snorted some oregano and seasoned salt once. and we were waaaaaaay old enough to know better. like high school. weird things happen when you leave teenage girls alone with kitchen spices.

Too bad they aren't the kinds of weird things I'd hope for.

...with spices.

Yeah that one, I would never lay a finger upon such innocence. There are other things I'd do with that finger and that innocence however.

I've seen the Spice Channel

I've seen the Spice Girls. Took my sister to a show back in the day. Fuck.

My friend and I snorted powdered wasabi. This was... oh, a couple of months ago I think.

It felt really weird having one nostril burning like a motherfucker so I had to snort some more to make the other one match.

thats because its mildly poisonous

alcoholics drink that. also rubbing alcohol. and cologne/perfume.

Tite Boys will know why this strip is in my top 5.

Philippe goes right bezoomny on cola (https://achewood.com/index.php?date=08052005), razzrezzes Pat's litso up all horrorshow.
Nice Pete can't believe his Bog - forsaken glazzies, up and takes in Philippe as an apprentice...

I'll stop.

Today is the day I found out that not being able to give a comment many, many chubbies is not dependent on the chubby comment having been generated by extreme chubby worthiness.

I would completely have bought this as a breakdance move when I was Philippe's age. I guess Lie Bot would've really had a field day with me.

Hahahahahahaha. Ah ha ha. Ha ha. Ha.

dammit. I can't unsee it now.

Hahaha, I like Teodor's "oh shit" expression in panel 5.

I get the feeling Teodor just stood there with that exact same expression for the next hour, unable to fully comprehend what he had just seen.

Liebot also told him that passing out afterwards is true gangsta.

STRAIGHT!!

LEGIT!

AAAIIIIIGHT!

The last panel makes the previous five right

The way he just shivers and crumples in the last two panels...priceless.

And the little otter's look of intense concentration all with his tongue stuck out and such.

Sometimes I think that Teodor isn't a very good caretaker.

The breakdancing scene that was deleted from "A Clockwork Orange."

I was hoping someone else would catch that!

Now I have a phrase for the next time I hear MF DOOM:
"Rap music, my droogs!"
The dance move seems opptional.

"The dance move seems opptional."

That's where you're wrong!

I don't mean to be a dick, but I'd bet 90% of people here "caught" the reference to A Clockwork Orange , and most of us didn't comment on it because it was too obvious.

OK, I do mean to be a dick, but only because you've mistakenly insulted the intelligence of almost everyone who posted above you. What with the book being a very short read, extremely popular and having a well-known movie version, and what with the Acheworld forums having a very high standard of literacy besides, you can rest assured that nearly everyone here knows where the word "droog" comes from.

Fuck you.

Fuck you, my droogs

"Fuck you." - yeah yeah Fuck You Friday Achewood. I get it.

right?

A bit of the old Ultraviolence.

Now slooshy hear droog, we have a bit of the ole in-out in-out an its real horrowshow eh. The height of fashion.

Someone please make an animated loop of the bottom row of panels.

Ask and ye shall receive.

[IMGS OFF]

I didn't realize the timing was so short on the first panel. Here's a better one!

[IMGS OFF]

Love the animation, it makes me cringe with sympathy

That animation gives me a new appreciation for this strip. Really shows how much Phillipe wrecked himself before he checked himself.

Philipe wants to be cool like Lie Bot.

i like panel 5

I don't care what you say. This is the best achewood strip, ever.

Ahahahaha wow 4.7. You sadistic bastards.

If Onstad makes another "The Saddest Thing" strip it should be "Phillipe on the floor, unconscious." :[

what the fuck is teodor holding a yoga mat

An EZ-Breathe jersey cotton yoga mat.

This is about as pointless as sending a clarification into the Playboy Advisor, but...
Going from the previous and following strips, I believe Teodor is holding a bolt of cloth that he will use to make Circus Penis Army uniforms from.

Master this move, and all of the ladies will appreciate your fine skills.

i wish i could give this a 5 twice. or a 6! twice!

1440? (Kick me)

those shoes look pretty close to high heels

This is the first time I fully realized Philippe's body is a cylinder.

droog has entered my vocab now. i swear to god this thing has more influence on the way i speak than my upbringing.

You do realized that Onstad did not come up with that word?

Is it just me, or does Phillipe do a 90° turn in midair between panels 8 and 9?

kinda looks like it yeah... i'm bad with maps and mechanical IQ test questions though, so... someone else?

Yes.

Also this in now my favorite strip/dance move.

For when you strip/dance?

Technically, you're right, it's an impossible mid-air turn, but hey, it's a comic strip.

i will now yell philippe's last line every time see spinners and hear bumpin' bass.

and that is the story of how cpnglxynchos got shot to death

Today's Blogs

Nice Pete: The ending to my book.

This is the mickey mouse pancake Philippe will wear on his forehead....

This is probably my favourite strip in the entire archive.

Pop goes the otter 'cause the otter goes pop.

Wow

I bet Lie Bot is behind that wall laughing his arse off.

Lie Bot takes no pleasure in his directive.

Is Droogs a Clockwork Orange reference? Could there be any more awesome in this strip?

Literal breakdance.

See what I did there?
