?!

 

[MrAngryFace]

no one likes a frat fuck.

 

[Tritroid]

:lol

The second panel text is awesome. (And so true.)

 

[Sinatar]

Well that about ends PA's streak of funny comics.

 

[border]

Not funny.

I don't think that any fratboys actually wind up working at Taco Bell. Most of them end up with a Bachelor's degree in something practical.

 

[MrAngryFace]

were you a frat boy, border?

 

[Seth C]

were you a frat boy, border?

Hahahahaha...no, he wasn't.

 

[Escape Goat]

haha, most frat guys, while are heavy partiers, actually get their shit done and/or manage to BS.

Comic is funny but I agree that HS jocks would have made more sense

 

[border]

Never had much interest in frats, but they are as much materialistic social climbers as they are drunks that listen to Dave Matthews. I never see people of that type manning the fast food cash register. Though to be honest I really have no idea where they typically work while doing their undergrad degree......probably internships or lame retail (Gap/American Eagle).

 

[MrAngryFace]

id guess lame retail. internships demand youre sober.

 

[belgurdo]

WE ARE SUPERIOR BECAUSE WE MAKE COMICS ABOUT VIDEO GAMES

 

[MrAngryFace]

anyone screaming about this strip I will assume is a lame frat boy just for the sake of catagories.

 

[Barnimal]

isnt that a bit racist?

 

[akascream]

Lol.. frat damage control.

 

[Drey1082]

When I think of frat guys, i don't think of fast food. Most frat people, at least at my school, have good jobs. I guess it depends on the university though.

Edit: I was not in a frat.

 

[MrAngryFace]

classist maybe.

 

[stewy]

That's weird. I took that strip to be poking more fun at the writers than the frat boys.

 

[Gek54]

Being in a frat is almost as valuable as having a degree as far as what it can do for your career...of course it all depends on if the frat has useful ties.

 

[Flynn]

Sadly, most frat boys wind up running daddies business or something -- so the Taco Bell thing loses points.

But any bag on frat boys is good in my book, so +1 Penny Arcade.

 

[Justin Bailey]

I'm in a fraternity. Flame away.

Edit: I had the same concerns and made the same sterotypes you guys did, till I found one I liked and joined. Not all of them are dickhead alcoholics that flunk out of school, some are, but not all.

 

[Drinky Crow]

Bring in a frat gets you the most important thing you can have in nailing a good career: connections. Most frat boys wind up middle managers at Fortune 500 companies, lawyers, analysts, or various/sundry corporate occupations. A few are engineers.

I know you'd all love to see 'em fail, but the system is rigged for their success.

 

[MrAngryFace]

FRAT BOY SUPPORTERS!

Well that depends upon what type of frat you're talking about generally.

Some frats are set up just for the basic purpose of getting ahead in a particular degree program, such as business fraternities or engineering fraternities. They don't have 'greek' meetings, parties, fests, or any other type of pointless social event. They're there strictly to look good on a resume.

I think the comic was talking about the fraternities that ARE designated to be nothing more than party houses.

 

[border]

Except the "party houses" are comprised of spoiled kids who can crap away thousands of dollars because of their parents' support.....they don't need fast food jobs either.

I'm in a social fraternity, not an academic one. And I can tell you that no national fraternity is designed to be a party house. Whether or not individual chapters do this is a different story.

 

[stewy]

So you're saying it's less Lambda Lambda Lambda and more Alpha Beta?

 

[Justin Bailey]

Haha, no we have our fair share of parties, but we get our shit done too.

Like communications?

 

[levious]

That's weird. I took that strip to be poking more fun at the writers than the frat boys.

me too, or at least it's making fun of the frat boy vs. non-frat boy rivalry in general.

 

[Tritroid]

Of course no national fraternity is literally DESIGNED to be a party house. But we all know the truth don't we.

 

[The Shadow]

I find it creepy how some of you seem to learn everything about the outside world from movies and TV shows.

 

[MrAngryFace]

SHADOW IS A FRAT LUVER! GET EM! WELCOME TO NEW AMERICA!

 

[border]

Haha.....Communications Majors are stupid.

 

[DJ Demon J]

IAWTP

 

[Justin Bailey]

Well just because a fraternity has parties doesn't mean they're designed to be a party house. We've had a bunch of parties, but we've also had events that raised money for the Red Cross, North American Food Drive, and our local animal shelter and we do these every semester. I'll give you that some chapters may not do shit when it comes to community or campus relations, but not ours.

Besides, any chapter that focuses solely on partying probably won't last long anyway. They'll either get in trouble with the school or their national organization eventually and lose their charter.

 

[TheGreenGiant]

soo funny. at least they took potshots both ways. :lol

 

[RevenantKioku]

Well, considering many of you stop reading PA at panel two, you wouldn't find it funny.

 

[DDayton]

Is it just me, or are people missing the POINT of the PA strip?

 

[Kon Tiki]

Needs more face paint and capes.

 

[etiolate]

They left out the part where the EB employees turn into nervous school girls just because the "cool dudes" are paying attention to them.

 

[AlphaSnake]

:lol I laughed. That comic was great.
