Normally this type of joke lands well with me, but that's my least favorite euphemism for gay sex, as a gay man. Just gross. :/

Oof, didn't catch that. I totally thought dad was a closet. Shame on me.

Am I misunderstanding the joke? I assumed the face value of it was that parents who find out their kids are gay get kicked out, but the father is just kicking him out bcz he's technically an adult.

Getting your shit packed is a euphemism for gay sex.

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Yup, I did not know that. Joke right over my head

I mean you're not wrong, but it's both. It's a play on expectations and the euphemism. C&H have been doing it for over a decade, it's kind of a big part of their shtick and one of the few jokes they have.

So edgy, so offensive! Just the type of thing their target audience of 14 year old kids like.

I really just thought this was supposed to be an ironic "parents throw out gay children" joke when they just want to get rid of him. Which is grim, but still not as grim as the rest of these comments that depend on a double entendre that could've been accidental.

No one makes that "joke" (it's more of a reference or even just a phrase) accidentally, especially if it's your job to make jokes.

Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.

Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!

Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…
