¡This (taco?) cheese is burning me! Although I think it would have been funnier if you had deleted the speech bubble and he just had his hands in the air :-P

Rodan's "Sometimes I forget how to do memes" one is also very good.

Good grief, I was offline for one day and all these hilarious comics appeared...
The labyrinth guards and the A++ one...nice.

I'm trying really hard not to use the 'E' word for the Macgyver one. But it was.

Thanks. Although, if it weren't for Gowerly's avatar, I probably would've forgotten about Ski Free forever.

Wasn't that the original idea of the thread?

It's time to find that little piece of magic that makes xkcd so special, and kill it.

EDIT: Damn, only 35 posts in this forum and 20 of them in this topic? I feel so inferior.

Did anyone else notice that the guy gets noticably shorter in the 5th panel, and the hill is shaped like a rear end in the second panel?

Also, the "girl" is farting in the third panel.

I especially like the way the text changes in Calvin's last text balloon, as if invoking some eldritch curse.

...Oh, new post. That's kinda gross.

I'm almost tempted to take another whack at this myself. Where's the handy-dandy XKCD font image?

It doesn't work well.

You just copy-paste letters from recent comics and / or old comics, depending on the parody you are doing.

Fellstaff's comic is epic.

[EDIT] Tetragramm's image wins too.

A fair point. Quotes have now been escape'D.

Surprising how many little bugs can crop up in such a small site.

I suggest that future bug comments of this nature be handled through pm with Two9A, as it is not particularly relevant to the thread (i.e. nobody other than Two9A can deal with it).

Strictly speaking (and I would have it no other way), you did not, as the goal of the exercise is to remove that thing that makes xkcd what it is. Referencing an xkcd joke would, by defenition, not remove the xkcd-ness of the comic, and fail at "making it worse". Like m42a's second one.
