Webcomic Temper Tantrums joke submissions thread

[marazzmatika]

Maybe Tempy looking at some of the more SSBU spirits and finding himself (or @Costello) as one. But we already confirmed Tempy for Smash 5, that might be stale.

I got this one in the middle of the night and laughed out loud:
You know how there was a huge joke about how you could turn a Wii game into a GameCube game by cutting off the outer edge? What if You could do the same thing to DS games to turn them into Switch games? I´m going somewhere with this, just trust me: Tempy is surfing online and finds that Wii to Gamecube meme, then gets thinking. He takes a copy of WarioWare: Touched! and takes a buzz saw or a knife or something and trims the edges off. He then struggles to jam the new game into his Switch and boots it up. The next panel shows him doing a thumbs-up as WarioWare: Ouch is loaded.

Do you get it? I thought it was pretty funny.

Yeah,totally funny (but funnier for techie like me)

Okay...here's a small one that might work in comic form (I got the idea while making this post).

A main banner with "The difference between a console gamer and a PC gamer".
The first panel (console gamer) shows Tempy heading for the games store, happily spending quite some money on a console. Perhaps him pointing to a stand containing a few games and a "exclusive to switchbox 4" banner on it.

The second (PC gamer) shows an alternate Tempy angrily grumbling at his computer monitor something in the lines of "No, I do NOT want to create YET ANOTHER free account to buy games from! "

People say xbox is better than Playstation. People say Playstation is better than xbox but you're forgeting the best console. THE VIRTUAL BOY!

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

People say Fortnite is better than PUBG. People say that PUBG is better than Fortnite but you're forgeting the best game. SMASH!

Hello @Costello
few minutes ago, the website bugged and went down on maintenance
It showed me a link to your comics list on imgur (i think?) and it was far from up to date
Just letting you know

Okay, so here's a template for a good, clean joke, for anyone who wants to draw a panel for it. No cussing please!

Take Your Breath (and Time) Away!
The year is 2014. An advertisement (in the form of a billboard) reads "Coming soon - Breath of the Wild".

2015. Same ad. Some young, down on his luck nerdy guy comes and comments "I really look forward to that game."

2016. Same ad. Nerdy guy comes by and says "Well, what's taking so long?!?"

Early 2017. Billboard now reads "Out now! Breath of the Wild! Play on Wii U and Switch." The same nerdy guy sees it and says "Wow! I've gotta go get that game!" But he realizes he doesn't make enough cash to get it, so he says, "Well, I'll wait"

Six months later. Billboard reads "DLC available. Breath of the Wild!" Nerdy guy comes, stares, and says "What the heck? This is still being promoted?!?"

2018. Billboard reads "See 'The Making of Breath of the Wild' today on YouTube!" Nerdy guy sees it and, a little miffed, complains "Don't they have other games by now?"

2019. Billboard reads "Breath of the Wild merchandise now available at Walmart and Target!" Nerdy guy mutters under his breath "I hate this stupid game. I'm never gonna buy it."

Give a simple Tempy to 3 companies - Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft. Leave him to them for a few years to see how he changes. They do Tempy like they do their controllers - Nintendo makes radical changes all the time (arm on head or something), Sony goes "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and changes the color or adds minor features and Microsoft does some small improvements to the overall structure/layout.

 

[AdenTheThird]

Maybe something about Joy-Cons and how you technically have to pay $30 for half a controller?

Because of another thread, lone_wolf323 let me flesh this out a little.

I title this:
The Blame Game

I couldn't fit everyone in there, but I guess the end could get tweaked.

Ps. If you were like, "WTF! I put in work!", my apologies, I wanted to put profile pictures of a lot more (D0ke, Cell9, Aurora etc,), but I'm using Paint--there are many limits you can (not) exceed.

 

[TheZander]

Here's a idea: First panel is tempy browsing GBAtemp then rechecks and so on looking for a new comic. After being psyched out in some way for some reason he then goes to GBATemp headquarters and comes out wearing a Lion's mane and Sonic's shoes.

 

[Jiehfeng]

A kind of vague version of an idea I just thought of:

-*Gets free game*
-*Company sends email saying "Thank you for your purchase*
-You're welcome

Probably not the best delivery but any variation would probably do. I didn't put much thought into it cause it would be a waste if it weren't selected haha.

If you can think of a good joke and want to get featured on Temper Tantrums, make sure to post your joke here.
If your joke is selected by Shaun you will receive a nice +100 XP boost! If you don't know what XP is, you'll need to catch up by reading this.

REMEMBER! We're doing this tongue in cheek, we don't take ourselves too seriously so you shouldn't either.

Comic idea:
New temp: *gets out old dusty ds lite*
*inserts a cartridge* *not recognised*
*uses a rubber/eraser to clean the contacts* *not recognised*
*uses uses rubbing alcohol or similar item to clean the cartridge slot* *not recognised*
*tries many other methods* *not recognised*
Old temp: “what are you doing?” *looks at ds* *takes ds*
New temp: “I have tried everything, It won’t wor-“ *old temp blows on cartridge slot and puts the cartridge back in*
*cartridge recognized*

"Yay I got a Switch Lite!"

"Is only 100 bucks less than the REAL Switch and WHEN you suffer from joycon drift the thing is toast."

"But it has better battery life and is easier to travel with!"

"Hey guys, I hacked my Vita and now I can-"

"Right, how could I forget? The Switch Lite can be hacked, let's do that!"

"Guys?"

 

[Stealphie]

Key-board game
not keyboard, key board
a literal key board game

 

[Veho]

This, but prettier. I can't draw.

 

[raxadian]

Eh, considering how ten years ago you could still find GBA micros on sale because game stores couldn't get rid of the darn thing, I don't think the joke works.

Heck the Switch is a portable console and is huge.

It's more of a joke on the Game Gear Micro and the bunch of tiny/keychain retro handhelds we've had recently.

The comic falls apart in the 3rd panel already, because the DS is larger than a GBA.

Best not to think about it too much

My point is that you could make a better joke about portable videogame consoles becoming BIGGER.

Gameboy

GBA SP

Nintendo DS

Nintendo 2DS XL

Nintendo Switch

"Holy sheet, that thing is big! How the hell does it count as a portable videogame console?"

"It does fit on my portable backpack."

 

[TheZander]

How about tempy getting unknowingly connected with wires. Then his eyes go black the show a hello world. Idk where this goes after this but maybe he gets loaded up with tempy backups or something.

Or tempy is being asked to play by another character but denies the offer. Then the punchline panel is tempy being hacked

 

[Stealphie]

tempy becomes legal
(gbatemp becomes 18 next month)
or roms come back for the same reason

 

[CeeDee]

Throwback comic where modern realistic humanoid Tempy goes back to a grumpy floating shaunj66 Tempy head who goes on a Cranky Kong rant about how the old Temper Tantrums were better than these new-fashioned ones
