None of those characters we watched and love for years would ever act the way they do here. I know the joke is coworkers are terrible and life is meaningless, but it’s too much ennui and nihilism for a fandom dedicated to humanity’s adventuring spirit.
Just hear me out. Go and read them. Seriously go and read all 300+ of the comics this weekend or whenever you have time. If you don’t honestly get bored or feel downright empty, I will never post in an O’Brian at Work thread on pain of banning.
I like most of the stuff yall post here, but O’Brian at Work is bad.
I’ve read a good 200 of them and I did not honestly get bored or feel downright empty. They made me laugh. Maybe don’t take a pretend show about pretend people in on a pretend space ship or space station so seriously.
I don’t have a decade old Tumblr account (that I use anyway) and a time machine to go back and comment on the original posts when they came out; but these reposts I can comment on and also enjoy the amusing commentary of my fellow fans from here on !tenforward@lemmy.world!
The only difference between this and the !truecomics@midwest.social community is they have a dedicated sub for their comic… and about 100 years of marinating. People seem to disagree vehemently about how much stewing is right and proper.
Thank you for offering a reasonable counterpoint. I’m sorry if I came across as rude, of course it’s fun to chat with digital strangers about something that occured years ago. This just isn’t my type of content. But for you other folks this is your 10k experience for the day. I like the fresh memes and the odd Photoshops that is made here.
I grant you that this is an appropriate venue to discuss O’Brien at Work, but at the same time, we don’t need 300+ threads that take up space just like how it did the same thing back in the old reddit Risa days. I liked the series when it came out for the first twenty or so, I truly did. However, the joke just got so old it died, came back and died again more times than Spock, Scotty, Tuvix, and Picard put together.
Seeing the upvotes the post has, I gather I’m in the extreme minority. I hope that in time, the community will grow bored with this craze and move on.
Are we just going to be lazy and post the entire webcomic here?
I hope so.
It’s just … mean.

I assure you, I don’t take the show all that seriously. But it’s also possible to not like a stupid web comic for valid reasons.
I seem to have taken up enough of your time. I hope you have a good rest of your day.
Believe it or not, no one is forcing you to look at these threads. Other people enjoy them and you are not being personally catered to.
