"jumped" past tense. Joel Send a noteboard - 07/10/2010 04:05:56 PM
You can only say when something has jumped the shark in retrospect.

The comic's up; posting it is also in the past.

If you are seriously going to attempt to make a discussion out of it, I think you don't know what Helene - 07/10/2010 04:50:27 PM 880 Views
I know what it means, and think it applies here. Joel - 08/10/2010 08:25:49 AM 834 Views
Yes, I'm already bored of that expression. *NM* snoopcester - 07/10/2010 04:06:57 PM 341 Views
I like that he did this Camilla - 07/10/2010 04:20:05 PM 874 Views
Fair enough; just seems a little repetitive to me. Joel - 08/10/2010 01:35:40 PM 901 Views
Uh. I don't think so. Nate - 07/10/2010 04:24:06 PM 829 Views

Nah. It's an update to an extremely popular comic. The internet's changed, so it's reasonable. Gher - 07/10/2010 04:43:01 PM 809 Views
Meh. Joel - 08/10/2010 01:38:06 PM 830 Views

You think doing research for an xkcd strip is a BAD thing? Darth_Katie - 07/10/2010 05:58:43 PM 875 Views
I suppose work consists of what a body is obliged to do. Joel - 08/10/2010 02:00:43 PM 826 Views
XKCD jumped the shark a long time ago. Ghavrel - 07/10/2010 06:40:54 PM 984 Views
You can't recover from jumping the shark. That's what it means, it's the beginning of the end. *NM* Helene - 07/10/2010 07:04:55 PM 365 Views
Sounds like you're as mad as a wet hatter. *NM* Ghavrel - 07/10/2010 08:22:54 PM 376 Views
Don't you throw your farberisms at me! *NM* Helene - 08/10/2010 07:44:05 AM 381 Views
This time I agree with Helene; it's the Point of No Return. Joel - 08/10/2010 02:02:23 PM 849 Views

+1, I usually find about 1 in 4 to be even vaguely funny Isaac - 08/10/2010 12:20:10 AM 837 Views
I often find them funny, but there's a lot of metahumor. Joel - 08/10/2010 02:35:03 PM 830 Views
Randall does research for his comics all the time. Dreaded Anomaly - 07/10/2010 10:55:28 PM 811 Views
It's true. Clover - 08/10/2010 01:23:07 AM 835 Views
The first version was based on guesses where he couldn't find official info *NM* Floffe - 08/10/2010 06:04:45 AM 390 Views
And that's cool, it's just not necessarily FUNNY. Joel - 08/10/2010 02:36:57 PM 836 Views
I guess I like neat comics about as well as LOL comics. Clover - 08/10/2010 07:05:58 PM 857 Views
