I was about to post that one!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I'm still astonished/impressed by "Click and Drag": [link]
However, the Firefly fan in me needs to give props to "Action Movies": [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
When I clicked on one of your links, I also got to this one, which is pretty great: [link] But "Someone is wrong on the internet" is the one I think of most often.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
How about the infographic ones like chart of Lord of the Rings characters.

Dear god, Consuela. I think I'd have to at least get suddenly sick and take off the afternoon. Damn.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Not to be all downer about it, but my favorite thing he's ever done is the radiation perspective chart. It was a truly important piece of information for the time presented in an understandable way.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, someone put together a webpage that shows homophobic language being used on twitter.
You can see mentions "today" and "last week", etc. Granted it just hits search terms so context isn't provided.

I love the Mattress xkcd, because I deal with this problem every. single. night.

Yeah, I really like the infographic ones he's done. Not funny, but amazing. Someone on the Internet is wrong is totally my favorite though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Someone is wrong on the internet is just...right. It's not funny, per se, and I can barely even call it clever because that's not the angle--instead, it's hella perceptive and succinct as all get out, though, and it's a fuck of a shortcut and I'm glad it's now common (righteous) lexicon.
Apparently the opener of "You know, I've heard some very good things about your technical expertise here at [ita !'s workplace] in the IT department" doesn't automatically make people IIS subject matter experts. I'm somewhat disappointed in that failure.
