Spoilers: It's piss.
"A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language."
— xkcd's tagline
"A webcomic of sarcasm, sarcasm, sarcasm, and sarcasm."
— Nyxkcd's tagline
Nyxkcd (sometimes written NYXkcd) is a spoof of xkcd released tri-weekly on Tapas and Webtoon. Nyxkcd comics are usually ironic, exaggerated versions of common xkcd bits: frequently sex, science, or sexy science. Misspellings are constant and the art features terrible, low-res MSPaint stick figures drawn with a mouse. Also, every punchline is bazinga.
Nyxkcd provides examples of:
- Ax-Crazy: Black Hat Guy and his girlfriend have their murderous tendencies amped up to 11 in their appearances. In knife, she stabs a random man for hitting on her (although given the fact she already had a knife in hand, she might have been planning to anyway) and in evil plan the two of them shoot at least three grad students For the Evulz.
- Beat Panel: AAAAA directly references xkcd's comic of the same name while reorganizing the flow of the joke.
Man 1: Check out this xkcd comic about a rotating bed.
Man 2: We could make that.
[beat]
Man 1: AAAAAAAAAAA!
Man 2: Bazinga.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: Characters often make references to the fact that they are in a webcomic. One notable example involves a character criticizing the artist's laziness and getting erased.
- For the Evulz: Black Hat and his girlfriend's MO, even more so than in xkcd. See Ax-Crazy.
- Technobabble: Parodied in one comic.
Woman: I've been working on a retrograde flux drive to reverse quark polarity. This is revalutionary (sic) science, but I wouldn't expect a pleb like you to understand.
- Parody
- Ship Tease: Discussed in love wins, where the creators decide to tease Shmyxoah, a ship between the two of them, in order to get more people invested in the comic.
- Signing Off Catchphrase: Every comic ends on the word bazinga.
- Speech-Centric Work: Due to the limited nature of the art, very little action is shown with most of the content consisting of characters standing around talking. Justified in that xkcd can also be quite wordy.
- Stylistic Suck
- Valley Girl: In dark mode, two women talk in stereotypical valley girl speech cadences.
