Line #60 Funny/Narbonic


1	* Basically every single strip, but this conversation stands out:
2	-->'''Helen:''' Dave, we need to talk.
3	-->'''Dave:''' Uh oh. Is this about the sentient meme that took over the net in Blue Sector and keeps threatening to vaporize us via spy satellite?
4	-->'''Helen:''' No! This isn't about the sentient meme! I didn't even know there ''was'' a sentient meme!
5	-->'''Dave:''' Oh...good.
6	-->'''Helen:''' On second thought, let's make this about the sentient meme.
7	-->'''Dave:''' It was supposed to be a ''Film/{{Serenity}}'' personality quiz! I meant no harm!
8	* Or, when Dave's come unstuck in time:
9	-->'''Six Year Old Dave:''' I can't handle being a kid! Anything but six years old...
10	-->''(time shift)''
11	-->'''High School Gym Coach:''' And we are going to ''stay'' here until each and every one of you maggots gives me ''fifty'' chin ups!
12	-->'''Sixteen Year Old Dave:''' [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Let me rephrase that...]]
13	* Mell's only personality sprite:
14	-->'''Killer Instinct:''' Kill...kill...kill...
15	* The first Sunday strip, "Evil Coffee" http://narbonic.com/comic/evil-coffee/, features Helen going off on [[ItMakesSenseInContext a rant on the subject of the morality of coffee]] . The best part is the use of the phrase "Nietzchean Super Coffees", made all the better by the fact that it's misspelt.
16	* When Dave finds out he's been volunteered to test Helen's time machine:
17	-->'''Dave:''' I'd complain more, but this is probably the closest to a vacation I'm going to get this year.\
18	'''Helen:''' I thought the Moon was your vacation.
19	* Helen and Madblood's first meeting, fighting over an ancient crystal:
20	-->'''Madblood:''' Theftbot! The crystal!
21	-->''(Theftbot grabs at the crystal Helen's holding)''
22	-->'''Helen:''' [[ThanksForTheMammaries A little lower, theftbot.]]
23	* Mel discovers Madblood has three whole floors devoted to weapons development:
24	-->'''Mel:''' I'M THE HAPPIEST GIRL IN THE WOOOOOORRLD!
25	* At one point, Mel tells Caliban that she has to go on a Black Ops mission that she can't talk about:
26	-->'''Caliban:''' We'd better have sex tonight.
27	-->'''Mel:''' Because I might die and we'll never see each other again?
28	-->'''Caliban:''' [[DistractedByTheSexy You what? Sorry, I wasn't listening.]]
29	-->'''Mel:''' You know, Caliban, sooner or later you have to get over the fact that you have a body.
30	-->'''Caliban:''' I have. Now I can't get over the fact that ''you'' have one.
31	* After Artie's been temporarily given Dave's body (long story), he finally snaps at Mel's incessant chatter and shouts at her to shut up while shaking her like a rag-doll. This prompts the following exchange:
32	-->'''Artie:''' Ye ''gods'' how I've longed to be able to do that!
33	-->'''Mel:''' I'll be remembering this day's work when you're fun-size again, buddy.
34	* Helen decides to deal with her frustrations [[spoiler: in having to dump/fire Dave]] by eating [[HeartbreakAndIceCream six pints of half-baked ice cream]] and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick blowing up Ecuador]].
35	--> '''Mel:''' I hate it when she comes up with nonviolent solutions behind my back.
36	--> '''Artie:''' No kidding. That's my ice cream.
37	* Mel's [[http://narbonic.com/comic/may-5-10-2003/ half-week-long rendition of the Patton speech]], to an army of [[KillerRobot killer robots]]. Especially HilariousInHindsight, since this seems to mark the point where Mel [[CorruptPolitician first gets interested in politics]].
38	* Dave's drunken "I'll never have lesbian sex again!" line. Especially the expression on the poor girl sitting near him at the bar. ''Especially'' when [[spoiler: it turns out that she's his KidFromTheFuture. [[ParentalSexualitySquick Poor girl.]]]]
39	-->'''Girl:''' Holy ''crud'', I picked the wrong time to come in!
40	* Seth ''wishes'' that [[spoiler: his date dumping him, kissing another man, and [[{{Squick}} messily]] [[GenderBender changing sex]], all right in front of him]] was the worst date he'd ever been on. He ''really does''.
41	* [[http://narbonic.com/comic/december-29-2003-january-3-2004/#comic-strip-container-5 "Go away, maternal instinct! I'm busy!"]]
42	* In Andre Richard's guest strip, [[SpinoffBabies "Narbonic Babies"]], Artie is sent back in time to prevent [[NoodleIncident some sort of "horrendous disaster"]], and ends up in [[TitleDrop Narbonic Babies Inc,]] a [[YouAllMeetInAnInn nefarious tax shelter daycare run by Dr. Narbon.]] The ending:
43	--> '''Artie:''' I've worked for weeks, scuttling aside materials... The time machine is almost complete!
44	--> '''[[CreepyChild Kid!Helen:]]''' Wait, Mr. Gerbil. We still need to have more fun.
45	--> '''Kid!Dave:''' Sorry, Artie, but Helen said she'd give me a Chewie if I helped detain you.
46	--> '''[[EnfanteTerrible Baby!Mell:]]''' ''Goo!''
47	--> '''Artie:''' [[BigNo NOOOOO!]]
48	* After Helen [[ItMakesSenseInContext purges herself of Dave's DNA]], he has a little fun trolling her:
49	-->'''Dave:''' (wearing Helen's glasses) Let's celebrate by drinking a whole box of pink wine and torturing some gerbils!
50	-->'''Helen:''' Oh, very funny...
51	-->'''Dave:''' And then we can do something hideously and arbitrarily cruel to our computer guy! Wee!
52	* Helen's reaction to Mel attempting to take over the world with Madblood's robot army:
53	-->'''Helen:''' It's times like these I almost question my usual strategy of doing whatever dumb thing pops into my head.
54	** Especially funny since, well, [[MagnificentBastard she's one of the smartest Mad Scientists alive]] and has been running a XanatosRoulette on everyone from the beginning.
55	* Dave's second meeting with Caliban the Demon:
56	-->'''Caliban:''' [[LetMeGetThisStraight Let me see if I understand you.]] You're some bloke living twenty years from now, and you're unstuck in time due to an experiment at the lab where you work.
57	-->'''Dave:''' Right.
58	-->'''Caliban:''' And in your own time, you've met me because your boss killed you and you went to Hell.
59	-->'''Dave:''' Right. So what's your analysis?
60	-->'''Caliban:''' You have a crap job.
61	* Dave is chatting with Titus Misanthrope and offers some advice:
