I would troll people with this if I ran a shop.

"Ask about our hot guy discount"

And when someone actually asks about it, (the guy in the comic doesn't ask, he just says that he has heard that they have one, which is a statement, not a question).... I would make sure that everyone is trained to say "we don't have one".

I said ask about it, not that one exists.

I would just give it to anybody who asks on a hot day.

In my opinion, the number one reason that guy is objectively and unequivocally not hot is the fact he is not wearing a seat belt.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 52 points 3 days ago (1 children)

For me is the sunglasses, they're ugly af

Yea that style died out in the 2010's.

[–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 49 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I'll never understand who the fuck cares about what's currently "in style", and why. It has to fit the person, not the society.

I do concur about the missing seatbelt though. Makes him look ugly.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 day ago

Some people are really concerned with fitting in. Probably a survival trait from early humans

I figured the artist just left out that detail so readers could read his shirt

In Hungarian, "hot" (meleg) means gay

Like, it's the word for a gay person

Just sayin'

I used to live in Atlanta and when I first got there I was perusing the roommates ads and I noticed that a lot of the ads used the word "liberal". I called one and chatted with the guy and it seemed like a good fit. He finally said "so ... are you liberal?" and I said "yeah, I'm pretty liberal -- I hate Reagan." He laughed and explained to me that "liberal" meant gay. I said "oh, I'm not gay" and then asked if it was OK if I still lived there because I needed a place.

Hungary

Gays are so hot right now

He didn't order a hot guy though, so why would he get a discount?

I live in Kansas City. The closest ocean is 750 miles away. I want to punch every single driver I see with salt life on their car...

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 54 points 3 days ago (2 children)

For the longest time I thought it said slut life. I laughed very hard when I found out the truth. I still call it that when I see one. And yeah, I hate them as well.

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 18 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Sounds like a shirt idea lol. Kinda like "south butt" being a parody of north face.

They really want you to know that they went to the beach once, and they might do it again.

Hey, they're just being honest about their high sodium diet.

Does that shirt say ‘Silt Life’?

I love silt as much as the next flood plain ya know but that’s kind of irrelevant to the comic

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Saltlife, it's a surfer clothing brand.

"No, I want to know about the discount on the hot guy"

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

Alternate ending.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Now, bait both sides of the gender war by making a gender-flipped version of the comic!

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fool. She's a goth chick, of course she is gonna get a discount.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

nah nah gotta make her a blonde girl jock, like the annoying volleyball player whos kind of a total bully

It would actually be really interesting to have a comic artist do this routinely for their comics. Would definitely make a lot of people consider their assumptions

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 26 points 3 days ago

my pasty, fat, goblin lookin' ass pulling up sweating my balls off becsuse it's 102 outside and my A/C is busted

Fuck... I'm so damn hot! 😩🥵 What? Half off? Siiiick!

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago (5 children)
[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Agree. Also the whole concept of a hot guy discount is mean.

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 19 points 3 days ago (11 children)

What if they give it to every guy to make them feel better :³

I can't help but associate a W which should be an M with Wario.

McWario's
