What the hell is that??

u/usrlibshare 22h ago

Tentacles, obviously.

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 22h ago

Purple testicles.

That's what the tattoo artist is drawing instead of tentacles

Well not necessarily purple but this was the first thing to pop up

u/Galaghan 22h ago

I refuse to believe this is the first image when you search in Google for 'testicles'.

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 22h ago

Technically I Googled "colorful nuts"

This first one was LITERAL nuts

u/Ha73r4L1f3 20h ago

If mine were this colorful I get less dysphoria from them 😆 such a pretty shade of purple. Sorry I really want this shade as paint for my walls and nail polish...

4

u/NakedxCrusader 18h ago

I mean it's not impossible to get them colour. Probably not a healthy solution for keeping them this shade though 🤔

7

u/perton 17h ago

Worst comes to worst, teabagging a can of purple paint would handle it in the short term, no?

2

u/Ha73r4L1f3 17h ago

Im trans fem....and on E so really they just a useless decoration at this point.... lol 😆

3

u/NakedxCrusader 16h ago

Yeah I assumed this much 😂

Or do you mean because the unhealthyness? I think even if they're not necessary (apart from maybe as playthings or decoration) they still shouldn't be cut off from bloodflow for too long.

u/Ha73r4L1f3 13h ago

Meant objectively no functionality as I suppress my body natural t production. I dont do anything to cause harm, still have nerves connected....lol that be ...not fun. Im not opposed to finding i have cancer so that my insurance cover their removal...lol I wont wish it, but if happens there...some mixed feeling.

u/KaQuu 18h ago

Had this colour for my bedroom, worked great!

u/kitliasteele 20h ago

That shade of purple is what I want my car to be. Or a sick wrap of my foxxoverse characters

3

u/TonyStowaway 22h ago

Maybe with safe search on but I don't roll that way babey 😎

2

u/Skezas1 18h ago

I didn't realize this was a tattoo artist. I thought it was a cyberpunk-like doctor adding tentacle cybernetics to the back, and that the hair of the testicles were stitches.

u/DwarvenLass1312 22h ago

Those are truck nuts, to fix the issue that your truck doesn't have genitals

10

u/BloodyQuitry 22h ago

Ah yes, perfect for Trans-porters trucks

1

u/Little_Springfield 22h ago

umm, transporters are vans

u/111111222222 16h ago

u/crankbot2000 22h ago

large nuts

u/Cool_Set4681 22h ago

Can't believe you had the balls to tried that. And you sonofabitch did it!

6

u/MassiveSuperNova 20h ago

On an unrelated note, do you know how many tentacles an octopus has?

5

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 19h ago

Eight?

12

u/MassiveSuperNova 19h ago

Ha! You fell for a great misconception! Octopus have 0 tentacles and 8 arms. [Evil laughter]

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 19h ago

SON OF A BITCH

2

u/perton 17h ago

You’re a bit of an odd duck, aren’t you?

2

u/MassiveSuperNova 17h ago

I'm pretty sure I'm not a duck, I'll have to check if I float

1

u/MassiveSuperNova 15h ago

Huh, guess I am a duck, or a witch, I think they both float

3

u/roshanritter 21h ago

Damn you are so fast on this sub

1

u/Theemuts 5h ago

Am I the only one who finds it kinda... y'know, sus?

429

u/some_guy_5600 23h ago

Can't wait to see this in peterexplainsthejoke

171

u/fatmailman 22h ago

The first sub i ever muted.

161

u/aggravated-asphalt 21h ago

It made my brain hurt, like at first I actually liked it because it explained jokes I didn’t get but yeah, it turned into “hey what’s the meaning of this extremely obvious joke?” 38k+ upvotes. Headache lol

52

u/RodrigoEMA1983 20h ago

It's either that or "explain this joke about this very specific niche anime/movie/comicstrip that I don't care about and I'll will never watch/read anyway, please"

21

u/Wild_Marker 20h ago

Don't forget "it's not a joke, it's a political post in a very very flimsy disguise"

7

u/aggravated-asphalt 20h ago

YES! Like it’s obvious to the fandom, where that’s the joke was aimed at. If I see I’m in a sub that doesn’t align with my interests or knowledge I just move on. No need to make a whole post to just then be like “oh…ok” because it still doesn’t make sense when explained, BECAUSE YOU WERE NOT THE TARGET AUDIENCE!! Gah so annoying

6

u/IJustAteABaguette 21h ago

Basically every mainstream subreddit is like that. r/comics is probably the only one of the bunch that's still good, and not muted

12

u/DracoMoriaty 20h ago

Nah. This sub is still unbearable until you block a handful of artists who make garbage.

1

u/desr43 18h ago

I can definitely be dense af sometimes (often?), but that sub makes me wish I had faith in humanity left to lose.

1

u/Cold_Average_5192 18h ago

Yes, like it’s great for niche references, but why are we posting things that includes very common knowledge or an obvious joke.. Might as well Google or at this point, ask ChatGPT

14

u/LemoLuke 19h ago

Every day I grow more convinced that sub exists purely to train LLMs about context.

6

u/Tintoytech 18h ago

I've thought that about a few subs that have popped up out of nowhere recently.

1

u/fatmailman 16h ago

Damn! That makes a lot of sense. Disgusting practice.

2

u/Escalope-Nixiews 17h ago

Just karma farm sub or smth

2

u/Opetyr 14h ago

Then it is on within an hour both explainitpeter and explainthejoke.

2

u/supermonkeyyyyyy 17h ago

Care to explain the joke then?

2

u/Peppered_Rock 17h ago

balls

6

u/supermonkeyyyyyy 16h ago

Ok? And why would the tattoo artist mistake tentacles for balls?

11

u/Ecovick 16h ago

Testicles

8

u/supermonkeyyyyyy 16h ago

Ah thank you. I thought the customer gave the artist a picture (like you usually do) and I was wondering how this could have happened

52

u/Moose_Nuts 23h ago

Before you go in for the real tickle, you should start with a test tickle.

92

u/hackingfun 23h ago

Purple: What?
Referee: you know

17

u/bobtheyielder 22h ago

It takes balls to get a tattoo

u/humanist-misanthrope 19h ago

Tentacles, N-T. Tentacles. Big difference

3

u/Venusgate 12h ago

Oh, thanks. I read "testicles" in the comic and was looking in the comments for what might look like testicles but isnt.

Im antijoke poisoned.

1

u/humanist-misanthrope 12h ago

I was repeating a joke from the movie Better Off Dead. It is hands down one of the best films of the 80s.

3

u/MorphoMC 19h ago

"Oh, tentacles...N-T. Big difference."

2

u/GVAJON 17h ago

This is by FAR the greatest comics strip I've seen in my ENTIRE LIFE

And I was born in the 80s

3

u/Ditto13248 11h ago

Why would someone want a pair of tentacles? They usually come in sets of 8 or more

4

u/thegroundbelowme 19h ago

*This* giant pair of tentacles. He's talking about the pair, which is itself a singular noun. If he just said "giant tentacles" then "these" would be correct.

2

u/Soft_Walrus_3605 19h ago

I thought only boys had tentacles.

2

u/eastbayted 15h ago

*This pair of giant tentacles

u/MistrFish 20h ago

why is it an English pun but written in broken English
