Out of Context Comics

Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!

Rules:

  1. Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.

  2. Single panels are preferred.

  3. Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.

  4. Don't be a dick.

  5. I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

The title is based on two different sources: 1) An SNL skit called "Delicious Dish," featuring Alec Baldwin as Pete Schweddy, offering tasty culinary items; 2) A Southpark song sung by Isaac Hayes as "Chef."

They're both probably on Youtube or DailyMotion.

Fully.

Cooked.

I don't know what it is about this expression but it just screams "fully cooked", like you've had one too many pot brownies and you're just trying to survive this social encounter without giving it away.

It seems a bit as if she's looking into two directions

Just a hair, and also like she's not looking at Archie but past him.

edit: upon further reflection, the guys expression deserves its own moment in the spotlight as well

yeah I sympathize buddy, I feel the same way.

Oh they definitely knew what they were doing here.

Certainly seems like it.

By the early 20th century, when hot dogs had become a popular food in the US, English speakers were already using wiener as a euphemistic or childish slang term for the penis, including referring to sexual intercourse as “hiding the weenie.” --Dictionary.com

Oh, and fun fact:

The word wiener, often misspelled as weiner, is rooted in the German Wienerwurst, which roughly translates to “Vienna sausage.” Wiener literally means “of Vienna” and is pronounced like “vine-ah” in German.

This Archie comic looks like it dates from the 40's-50's, so it was a sort of magical time in which one could be completely safe saying this in a children's comic, yet still make an openly sexual reference. :D

Come to think of it, the "Comics Code" might have been invented partly in response to stuff like this. It's been a while now, and I don't exactly remember the whole story...

"Hey, everybody, have you seen my balls? They're big and salty and brown! If you ever need a quick pick-me-up, just stick my balls in your mouth! Ooh, suck on my chocolate salty balls! (Put 'em in your mouth!) Put 'em in your mouth and suck 'em and suck 'em!"

Both came out around the same time (late 1998), lean heavily into that repetitive, innocent-sounding-but-dirty food innuendo, and have that "say it over and over until it's absurdly funny" vibe. The SNL one is more about dry delivery and awkward repetition, while South Park's is overtly raunchy with singing. If the title draws from both, it's a perfect nod to those two "balls"-themed comedy gems from the same era.
