It took me a week to figure out just what I should put there.
I looked at both of those panels and knew they had potential, but I had to ruminate on it at work for a while. My ideas always seem to pop into my head about an hour before work stops on either Thursday or Friday night.

BTW, those were number 49 and NUMBER FIFTY.

Fifty demotivators and still going strong! tongue.gif

(Raises a toast.) Here's to another 50, or more. smile.gif
Gerfodger
You keep count? Meh, good work on those an keep em coming.

Now to count how many Ive done and seperate the fodder from the good/evil....its a shame those two get mixed up

The ballot is in:
Fodder
8
Good/evil (DAMNIT)
7
Total
15

Now for how long Ive been doing these!
March 24. a week and 4 days ago/11 days. Ive made quite alot considering they're only updated twice a week
biggrin.gif
hhh221
my total (because i keep track on photobucket) 5


6 now
Gerfodger
Yeah....shouldve just counted on photobucket....

Oh well. MOAR EYEBROWS!

Advertisements:

And some that actually resemble motivational posters



And dont forget the ever familiar and slightly off-topic re-writes (With added sweary bits)



This now makes 22 total
good/evil
11
fodder
11
SCORE! BROKE EVEN!

The hunt continues........
hhh221

7
Gerfodger
Ok, by now you've probably realised im just re-reading all the comics trying to get funny captions......
WELL HERES MORE!


This hat one had sooo much more potential, feel free to re-write

I know, its not a tomahawk. But I couldnt resist family guys reference to Punk'd could I?

Youtube link for tomahawked:




Cale is such an easy target, Ive had practice because a friend of mine at school is practically a peado. And no one is ever going to let that go biggrin.gif
I'm gonna give this a rest now, Ive made waaaayy too much and alot of it is probably shit
Scratch that I think most of these are pretty good, but I have a tendency to do that

Current count:
good/evil
17
fodder
13
TOTAL
30
MrEasterband
Hmm... so far I have made... 20 of these. But I usually believe in quality over quantity..

And here's nr. 21!


I'm satisfied with this one.

Heh... That's a good one, Sausage.

THAT! I like! Did you change some of the faces?
Also, how do you change the words under your avatar where mine says 'member'. Do you need three squares?
Devin Austra
That's great. smile.gif
It's not only Krunch that's goggle-eyed either. Everybody in the frame is like "OMG!"

That's similar to this one I did a while back.



It's always fun to take a panel with a bunch of people openly staring at something and insert a "Holy shit, is that what I think it is?!" phrase. There's a lot of potential with panels like those.

Gerfodger, I think you need 350 posts before you can change your title.
hhh221
500 not 350.

Gerfodger
I agree, I ought to keep an eye out for those
500, thats a long way to go. Especially considering this is pretty much the only thread I do.
6 more motivaters for yoiu folks! I ought to pace myself here, at least tomorrow there will be something new along with the rush to beat the others for the first. But being 8 hours ahead makes that difficult...


I had to increase resoloution for this one

A late edit but this one should say 'talk to frank' at the bottom

This took a long time to edit. Ahhh the joys of MS paint

We've all fallen for the trap


COUNT

Instead of tooting/destroying my own horn (ow!), I'll leave you to decide which ones of these are good and which should be immediately destroyed

I think it's safe to say I speak for most everybody else here when I say...

Where the fuck did that come from?!
Gerfodger
I completely agree with that statement

And now to elaborate
Looking at this thread I realised that alot of the posts are not based on motivational posters. Another thing I've noticed is that the readers and contributers dont seem to care, they just enjoy reading what the community has to offer in terms of humorously butchering scenes of the lfg comic.

I also agree with quality over quantity but its hard to decipher between the good and bad when its your own work, which is why in my previous contribution I asked if people could tell me which are my good ones a bad ones so I can delete accoringly and/or affect my future 'work'.

P.S: hhh221. nice smile.gif
P.P.S: I WIN tongue.gif


Oh, and a quick note. Is that guy actually a moderater or admin? His rank thingy just says 'advanced member' and the only thing hes got going is 'Lars army' as his location and green text, both of which anyone can do. Im gonna need some proof here pal.
P.P.P.S: Banning is not proof........

No, they were all originally like that biggrin.gif
Rae-Rae =^.^=
I suppose the whole "Motivators thing"... did the West Side Story thing count as fan art or....

Oh, and here's an old one I just felt like reposting because I think it's awesome. Or is this like the feeling soccer moms get when their kids score a goal?

Gerfodger
Oh look theres some more

Your motivator's are very nice Gerfodger, and most of them put a grin of my face.
One piece of critique: please use one panel for the making of a motivator, I like 'em short and sweet.
The monologue one just takes to long to bite through, but that's just my taste talking.
Eternal wanderer
Ugh. Looks like the influence of the forums are starting to affect me.
If i didn't read up on them, I would've tolerated Pella. Now, I'm just joking about her like any other forumite.
"Ahem" without further ado:



Low blow, I know. But I don't think it's been done before.
Internet_Ninja
Just a small note. I think making up your own text for the posters kind of defeats the purpose. I find that the best posters take an awkward but real piece of dialog from the comic and build a funny statement around it. Deleting and typing your own text seems like, cheating on a quiz that isn't worth any points. Sure you can fudge the rules a little, but what does it really accomplish?

Really?

Well you know, entering you're own text is more creative than reusing someone elses biggrin.gif

And how do you think the other ones came about?

Well, what I mean is, the point of making themed motivational posters (at least in my opinion) is to find existing dialog and write a funny motivation for it. Yes, you could make up whatever text you wanted, and it could be funny, but then it wouldn't be LFG. It'd be LFG characters standing their with whatever text anyone wanted. Like so.

Probably shouldn't have made a motivator that was funny to prove your point biggrin.gif
Gerfodger
Internet_ninja, stop making rules and things, the point about these is that theyre short, funny and to the point. Sure, the topic title implies that we should only be using motivational posters, whereas some including myself have just edited the text. But to be honest, no one really has a problem with it. It's not caused any problem until you decided to dredge up some half assed rule either because your petty or as richard would say "boredom mostly".

That aside, I bring you a half assed, not very motivational motivater


Hey look at that! 36 posts and I'm an advanced member! What a time saver!

PS, 43 posters now

Sigh... I thought I went to great pains to make it clear that I was just stating my opinion. I'm not making up rules, or half assed rules (whatever those are). Just my opinion. Maybe you shouldn't be the one to fly off the hook and assume I'm trying to make rules about what other people (that I don't know) can and cannot do. I was just saying that, IN MY OPINION, it's better not to tamper with the comic picture portion.

This could easily turn into people hurling insults around, so I'll just throw up a poster and leave it at that. Misunderstanding.



Gerfodger
If you dont wish to try and enforce rules dont impose on them.
Nevermind eh? lets just get back to the important thing:
The humourus butchering of the lfg comic

This one could have such a better caption


Thats the 45 mark
....USP?

A quick first try... When I made it the caption seemed funnier.

And yes, I did register just to post this and the ones I plan to make later.

China could take lessons on crowd control from Richard and Krunch.



I thought of this one while thinking of my friends in KY who are with the forestry department. They go out and fight forest fires with nothing but picks, shovels, drip torches, rakes, leafblowers and a bulldozer. I think they still have the truck too - if my best friend hasn't destroyed it by driving it through a fire again. biggrin.gif
Internet_Ninja
This one seems like someone may have come up with it before. If so, I apologize. The white line border is my illustrator going crazy and me not knowing how to fix it.





Please don't hurt me fan girls:

Heres a re-do of one of my previous motivators. Just a redone description.

I also had to re-install windows on my aptop AGAIN today, after doing yesturday as well.
This is well and truly fucked

Quick question, how do I change that thing underneath my avatar and above those blocks?

Just kidding. But I would submit that a person is not a traitor when he makes his intentions clear from the beginning.

I'm just proving your point, aren't I?
