Also recurring is Christian, a millionaire who runs about trying to get into Lilah's pants, somehow forgetting he is rich enough to buy at least five women more attractive without having to put up with Ethan's whiny shit.Įvery now-and-again Buckley tires of toying with his tiresome cardboard-cutout cast and scrapes the bottom of forums and chat rooms for some temporary gimmick to keep his bleating crowd in the pen. Ethan also built a robot made out of Xbox parts (WTF?) for delivery of all robot cliches. Occasionally this crack team of wasted life experts is punctuated by a nerdy Linux-loving guy (who of course knows nothing of video games and hates Microsoft) and his pet penguin. This eventually fails horribly and everyone has to work together to fix it. Tied to Ethan are his flatmate Lucas and his OMG GIRL-GAMER GIRLFRIEND Lilah, who sit around playing video games until Ethan comes up with some stupid scheme to enjoy video games more/get more videogames/play more videogames. You know, the stuff gamers really want to read about! Lately, Ethan has given up wacky-gamer-stupidity in favour of regular-Homer-Simpson-ripoff-stupidity and hung up his controller in favour of taking part in long-drawn-out plotlines about tragic miscarriages and broken friendships. At least, that was the original description. Ethan is advertised to us as a man who lives to play video games his entire existence, needs and thought allocation (which is spare at most) goes to this form of pixelated entertainment. The main protagonist of Ctrl+Alt+Del is the author's self-insertion character, Ethan an archetype "wacky" and "random" character that teenage nerds with unrefined senses of humour feel like they can relate to. Our main characters when discussing their failing relationships and Lilah's heartbreaking miscarriage. But Buckley, not normal or anything like it, looked at his shoddy little four-panel creation and saw PROFIT. A normal person would've stopped there, maybe stick a comic or two up on the fridge to chuckle at when getting a drink. And the best part to this day, the author still refuses to acknowledge how universally loathed and mocked he truly is.Ĭtrl+Alt+Del apparently began as a joke between friends, discussing how the idea of a comic about two guys sitting and playing videogames wasn't very original. It is a true, shining example of why sites like this wiki exist. It is the prototypical example of a bad webcomic, with lazy art, bland to non-existent humour and no regard for comedic timing, a Mary-Sue protagonist, and an author who's a total and complete scumbag. And now, we have Ctrl+Alt+Del.Ĭtrl+Alt+Del is the shit webcomic of shit webcomics. Megatokyo, the titan of horrible anime comics. There's Chugworth Academy, a misogynistic and weeaboo defiance of God's existence. There's Jack, the horrid furry comic set in Hell, appropriately enough. Many particularly bad webcomics have caught our attention in this wiki. (And to think that anyone can live with that.) But yeah, what are we saying? CAD will never improve, no matter what we do. always coloured? C'mon, we're just trying to get this comic to be marginally better than Megatokyo. Things that aren't terrible but could use improvement: And of course, the author is an insufferable cock. Things that are fucking terrible about this webcomic:Īssembled art (no, seriously) and backgrounds taken directly from Google Image Search weak writing that replaces humour (90% of strips) with violence and drama (10%) with abortions miscarriages obnoxious, plain protagonists bad pacing, which results in overwrought scenes and strips that are 4 panels too long. Avoid real-life interaction as much as possible.Ĭopying Penny Arcade and doing a piss-poor job of it. May spew invective at critics and fans alike. Their behavior may include, but is not limited to: Rampant displays of racism, sexism, homophobia and/or other forms of bigotry and douchebaggery. WARNING: The creator of this webcomic is a giant douche, even by internet standards. It may be the case that the creator has used this opportunity to improve the webcomic to the extent that this review may no longer apply. This webcomic has had a reboot since this review was written.
