Love how the bowling balls are also like °o°

u/EdgeBandanna 2d ago

Why are they bowling with other people's heads?

Accidentally releasing the B button at the top of your backswing in Wii Sports

Seeing the crowd in the game jump in fear was always a fun time.

... I don't even think I thought to try this, and now I'm disappointed to have missed out.

I do have a PC rigged up as an emulator, complete with Wiimotes and bar, so I'm gonna give it a go at some point.

I found it a bit confusing, imho this would work better with the last panel flipped horizontally

u/androshalforc1 2d ago

i half agree, the last panel reads like its intended though, you start with the shameful walk, lead into the angry yelling then see the unconscious guy. so it should stay the same orientation.

i think the first and second panel should be facing opposite.

u/TheRealFriedel 2d ago

Yes! This is it

u/myleftone 2d ago

I didn’t realize he lost grip on the backswing. You’re right, this is sort of like losing the eyeline when editing a film.

u/anthem47 1d ago

Yes it kinda breaks the 180 degree rule I think, if that applies to comics.

u/Bucket_of_Nipples 17h ago

You're right. The other guy is wrong.

u/wookiex84 2d ago

Who among us hasn’t launched a bowling ball backwards?! The next pitcher of beer will correct it.

When I was around 12 or 13 years old I was five-pin bowling (smaller ball than in traditional ten-pin bowling, mind you) with my family and I somehow lauched the ball upward rather than outward so it hit the ceiling above the alley. No major damage, but definitely not my proudest moment, either.

u/SexualDexter 2d ago

I don't get it.

u/Theoddbotout 2d ago

He flung the ball backwards accidentally and it hit a guy in the head

25

u/Acceptable_Job_5486 2d ago

I choose to go off the comic orientation and believe that he intentionally bowled into the crowd. 

1

u/MediocreAndLukewarm 2d ago

Can you explain, because he’s facing the alley not the seating area.

3

u/SexualDexter 2d ago

He's facing right of frame when he bowls, and when he walks back he's walking to the right.

1

u/MediocreAndLukewarm 2d ago

Check his environment. The ball machine in the middle is to his rear and the lane is in front of him. When he’s walking back, the ball machine is in front of him.

2

u/Namelessgoldfish 1d ago

Yeah you’re right, he is in fact walking in the opposite direction he bowled in

u/TheOkayGameMaker 2d ago

This dude consistently gets thousands of upvotes with zero comments on every single comic he posts to r/funny. He has got to be using bots because he reaches the top of the subreddit every single time.

u/bambikill 2d ago

Oh it's so obvious too. This super shitty comic has been up for an hour with 2500 upvotes. Ya ok

2

u/SgtBigCactus 1d ago

Idk how many of this guys unfunny comics I’ve seen on here, but it’s the same upvote fest every time.

1

u/gobbedy 1d ago

right i always wondered these really unfunny cartoons get so many votes. i think you're right

2

u/SgtBigCactus 1d ago

Oh look, another unfunny Twonks comic spam upvoted by bots. Classic r/funny

u/bennyboy_ 1d ago

How are so many of these making the front page? None of them have ever made me even crack a smile.

u/DOLLAR_POST 2d ago

The comics in this subreddit are always so lame.

1

u/Yabba_Dabba_Doofus 2d ago

This is why bowling alleys don't like adults coming in trying to chuck the 8-pound balls as fast as they can.

On the other hand, I can confirm that dropping the ball in your backswing hurts your ego much more than your hand.

u/thebarkbarkwoof 1d ago

This is why I sucked at bowling.

u/Agreeable_Raisin2184 1d ago

Even the balls were a little perplexed.

Situational awareness is no joke. But I laughed at this.

Not to brag, but, I did 160+ on my first time bowling. Thanks Wii.
