    It’s not obvious that it’s a riff on Comic Book Guy and just comes off as rude. Was there ever a scene where he had cheese dust on his fingers?

      Wow, seriously? He’s - always eating junk food and correcting people? That’s not - you’re saying 77 denizens of SIMPSONSshitposting are unaware of these characteristics of Comic Book Guy?

      Goddamn. Ok.

      Here.

        No, I’m sure they’re all aware, but mentioning cheese dust on fingers alone isn’t a characteristic that automatically brings him to mind. If that is cheese dust in the gif, I’m not familiar with a kind that’s eaten out of a pan. Something like “Better hurry that pedantry up, your breakfast burrito is congealing rapidly” might work.

        Regardless, the person your comment was directed at didn’t seem to take it the wrong way, so no harm, no foul.

          Okay so: I’m a Simpsons character and I’m going to lick cheese dust off my fingers and the correct someone - Who Am I?

          Anyone? Beuller? No? Okay. I mean, I thought it was obvious. (Nacho cheese in the gif, or a Squishee, or a Krustyburger if that’s relevant but none were as funny as cheeto dust)

          And yeah the OP was supposed to enjoy it, which I also thought they did, which is another reason it’s so bizarre to have almost 85 downvotes for it now. Worst. Comment thread. Ever.

          (Uh, it’s not really the worst comment thread ever, that’s, yknow, also a Comic Book Guy, uh, thing. Just - in case anyone’s not - eh, whatever)

            I thought it was obvious.

            It wasn’t, so I’m pretty sure perceived rudeness is the reason for the downvotes. No matter, there’s no karma here.

              I dunno, I disagree. Like, a couple of people - ok that’s statistically inevitable, but almost 100? That’s . . . too many.
