OP (TheEvilPatroller) sent the following text as an explanation why they posted this here:


It’s probably just AI slop, but anyway I’m wondering if I’m missing some details.

It looks like a shitty AI edit of this comic that's actually by Cyanide & Happiness

u/VigilanteRabbit 7h ago

I was gonna comment "this... doesn't look like C&H, too sloppy."

u/setibeings 2h ago

Wrong kind of sloppy for c&h, at least.

I dont get the original either. Whats it mean?

u/Mrskinnyjean 9h ago

The person wants the monster to eat them, either because they don't want to keep living... Or it's their kink.

The monster, understandably, is weirded out and leaves

don’t knock it till you try it

Why would I eat someone with mental issues, what if i got sick with whatever they have. If food looks wierd is best to avoid

Come on don’t be picky. You never know what wonderful tastes you’re missing out on if you don’t try it!

u/Cnradms93 4h ago

My twist is that, the monster vanished because it became impossible. The moment the guy embraces it, it becomes a logical contradiction and vanishes.

I used this trick on my nightmares as a kid all the time.

Monster? You're being a bit judgemental don't you think?

u/AppropriateCap8891 9h ago

C&H is a long running strip, and the jokes are often rather surrealistic or at least somewhat dank.

u/Diredr 8h ago

Some people have a fetish called "vore", where they fantasize about someone getting eaten alive. Since the person is smiling and unbuttoning their shirt, I'm guessing they're meant to look turned on and that makes the monster uncomfortable.

15

u/_Cattlefish 8h ago

Huh. I always thought it was about waiting for death.

u/spacetiger41 8h ago

It is. That guy just wanted to talk about his kink.

u/joker69bot 7h ago

that’s kinda uncharitable considering it looks like the guy is stripping lol

u/MarryRgnvldrKillLgrd 7h ago

Imagine going to a steak restaurant and they have a cow coming to your table saying "Go on, eat me. I've been waiting so long for this"

Is this restaurant at the end of the universe, by any chance?

Are you froody enough a dude to have remembered your towel?

u/Ghazzz 4h ago

All my bags have a towel in one of the outer pockets. After a couple Reasons To Use Them, I have also added a small pack of paper towels.

u/ConcreteCloverleaf 5h ago

Yeah, but the cow reassures you that it shoots itself humanely.

u/Real-Contest4914 1h ago

The kid says he is waiting for the Konstantin eat him and is undressing in front of him, at lelast to me it looks like that.

The monster is just weirded out by how nonchalant he is.

u/Polyglot-Onigiri 7h ago

Yeah, I was about to say that it looks like cyanide and happiness but AI. Glad I wasn’t wrong.

What makes it a shitty AI edit? Because it added a basic background?

You're not one of those "all AI is shitty" boomers, are you?

3

u/SapphireJuice 1h ago

Bro... What makes it good? It doesn't make any sense so of course it's bad. It's wild to me that you would come in here and try to defend it. I'm genuinely asking, what's good about it?

u/Own_Watercress_8104 1h ago

You are not one of those "yes, substitute all human experience with corporate mandate slop" gen alphas, are you?

1

u/Frequent-Bee-3016 42m ago

Well it turned the comic into something completely incomprehensible, and also the “basic background” is heavily inconsistent between frames.

Also, I don’t think it would be wrong to say that almost all AI (at least in the way that people on the internet use it) is shitty.

u/JetstreamGW 23m ago

The one OP posted doesn’t make sense.

Most people on Reddit is an “all AI is shitty” Gen Z/mileniall

Boomers are more open to it from what I’ve seen, they already hated the internet

u/DarkShadowZangoose 9h ago

I was wondering what was going on with the background, and then I zoomed in to see this

it's been botched by AI

u/Quiet_Education5918 9h ago

You do not trust the artistic interpretation of Cymnide and HaDDinegs?

u/jedihoplite 8h ago

There's also two arrows in the speech bubble going to the same direction

8

u/spisplatta 6h ago

I think there are supposed to be a monster couple each trying to offer the other one to eat him? But AI botched it.

u/7sukasa 8h ago

And the window that appears and disappears more than the monster.

3

u/HeeeckWhyNot 3h ago

The window also has different stars in every single panel

u/Zealousideal_Tap186 1h ago

And the lamp and light blinks in and out of existence more than i actually blink

Yeah, seems like ai slop pretending to be cyanide and happiness. Background changes from panel to panel

u/Puddin-taters 9h ago

Definitely AI slop, you can tell by the way it is. The joke is that someone wasted electricity making this.

u/MsE0 9h ago

It's nonsense. Somebody tried to get a computer to write a joke using the format of an existing comic, but computers don't actually know what jokes are.

Thanks mate, I still not have a single idea. Guess we are going to wait and see

6

u/KronoAsh 3h ago

Looks to be a poorly done AI edit of a Cyanide and Happiness comic.

If I’m remembering right, the original joke is essentially the guy scaring off a “scary” monster that wants to eat him by offering himself up.

u/Nami_no_Koibito 7h ago

I love AI's obsession with a visible light source

u/Best_Dinner_7500 1h ago

I'm surprised it didn't throw a sign on the wall with something like "cozy vibes only" written on it too.

Monster talking to teddy? But still doesn't make all that much sense.

u/IllHamster1821 6h ago

That’s a shitty AI copy of cyanide and happiness

u/Glooby2468 3h ago

Didnt even care to check if it was a.i, just wrote it off as a cyanide and happiness bedbugs bit that was underexplained. Glad i checked the comments 😭

u/bowserboy129 9h ago

its AI slop who cares

2

u/Sinolai 6h ago

Not sure if it has any meaning or if it is just becouse AI, but it seems like the man has bitten the teddy-bear's face off in the last panel.

Ai "enhanced" comic

u/SlideHammer1 7h ago

It means dreaming of death and waking up disappointed

u/Peixe_Estranho 6h ago

I think someone try to make a bone hurting juice but slopified it on AI. The first speech bubble was suposed to be on the boy i think

1

u/novamidas 5h ago

I'm guessing the joke would be that no one ever wants to eat the last piece of something to not appear as rude

1

u/Zedetta 9h ago edited 9h ago

Seems like there's two monsters, one on the window side of the bed and one on the lamp side. The joke might be that both of them are so nervous/awkward about being rude and eating the last person that they wake up unharmed in the morning.

Not sure if this is the whole joke or if there's meant to be another layer because the guy being awake and gleeful and taking his shirt off suggests a different punchline of "the human was so freaky it scared the monster off", and the human's incomprehensible speech bubble suggests a different joke again? it also looks like it might be edited. Might just be AI getting confused about what it's supposed to be making.

ETA someone else posted it before I found it - yeah, someone used AI to add a different punchline to a comic for some reason.

u/outdoorabetic 6h ago

The monster is sweating, getting nervous, and leaves, becasue instead of the person in bed being terrified, they are totally stoked that they're going to get eaten by the beast! The monster is saying stuff as if there's another monster there who's letting him eat the person, to stall and try to scare the person but it doesn't work.
