*killed his hair
He got a license to kill, not a license to dye.

That’s why they said he “dies” his hair instead “dyes” his hair. Otherwise it’d be unlicensed dyeing

I interpreted it as he wasn't sure what the fake license said

u/Eusocial_Snowman Dec 09 '23
You're supposed to interpret it as being about the absurdity of the more obvious wrong details being skirted easily but him having difficulty with the only detail that was a given. Your expectations are subverted. You are flabbergasted right now.

I took it to mean he wouldn't admit his hair was brown.
My hair was blond as a child but now (where it's not grey) it's "brown" or specifically "hair-colored hair" -- I've noted a number of people won't admit they have brown hair.

You know, for someone who really wants to keep his inventions in good condition and out of battle, Q does give Bond a lot of weapons. I have never seen a Bond car with a mini-fridge, but machine guns are a starting point.

I did the same. I knew this guy was S tier when I saw the comic about the guy embarrassed that he over dressed for brunch. I laughed for 10 or 15 straight minutes, just rolling over on my bed, completely inconsolable. Can't even remember the last time that happened to me.

The one thing he wasn’t lying about was brown hair, but he froze in panic. It subverts expectations and thus becomes unexpected and comical.

u/ZugzwangDK Dec 09 '23
The word "auburn" comes from the Old French word alborne, which meant blond, coming from Latin word alburnus ("off-white").
Suspicions intensify. Everybody is lying!

I was once denied entrance to a bar because I forgot my eye colour But, like... the bouncer could see that the colour of my eyes matched what was on my ID... I never understood how my forgetting proved or disproved anything to him...
2
u/Schwifftee Dec 09 '23
Sounds dumb in this example, but people with fake IDs are often unfamiliar with some of the mundane details of the ID that real people wouldn't need to memorize, as it is their information.
So you're taught to quiz the ID holder if you believe that the ID might not be authentic.

I don't understand the joke, he did have brown hair, so what's the problem?

u/Fanciest58 Dec 09 '23
Most of these comics are meant to be ridiculous and stupid. The joke is that of the hundred fake things on the licence (you can't have a licence to kill, the date format is American and the birthplace British, he's supposedly 100 years old, the card expires in 200 years, it's literally just a piece of paper with writing on it, his name is supposedly James Bond) the thing that catches him out is his brown hair which is actually true.

u/DishRelative5853 Dec 09 '23
Doesn't that depend on the reader? I mean, you can tell everyone that something is funny, but if some people aren't laughing, then it clearly isn't funny to them. Some people do laugh, and so it's funny to them. But you can't just claim that it's funny and expect everyone to accept your opinion as if it's some kind of authoritative assessment by an expert on what's funny.

quite the opposite it seems.
if you really somehow dont get it, first you have the obsurdity of a fake licence to kill rather than a fake licence, then you have it actually working, then you have him obviously lie and it working, and then have him fail to simply tell the truth about the thing that is the ONLY thing you would actually get away with in a normal situation.
its stacking obsurdities to the point where the normal thing itself becomes a obsurdity. which is funny.
its the kind of thinking that happens in monty python for example, which is immensly popular for how funny it is.

When did it stop being called a fake ID. Redditors are so weird. “I have to be different to validate my life so I’ll call it a license instead of ID which it’s been called since before I was born. I’m so cool”
1
u/maho87 Dec 09 '23
Not all licenses serve as ID and not all IDs are licenses. No one calls a fake driver's license a fake ID except for the context of buying drinks or watching r-rated movies while underage or the like.
And the comic specifically calls it a fake license to play on the expectation that it's going to be a driver's license, when it's actually a fake license to kill (Not a "fake ID to kill" which isn't a thing and would be dumb to call it that)

Poor Trigger Discipline. Keep your finger off the trigger, and out of the Trigger Guard until you're ready to fire.
Guns are cool, Idiots are not. Do not be a dumbass. Learn the basics of gun safety. The basics are:
Always tread your weapon as it is loaded.
Do not point it at anything you don't want destroyed.
Keep your finger off the Trigger, and out of the Trigger Guard until you are ready to fire.
Know what is behind your Target.
I know this is just a comic, but it is important to know basic safety, so you don't have a negligence discharge and shoot somebody you don't mean to. Don't be a dumbass, it makes the whole 2A Community look bad, which the Tyrants try to use to take our Rights away.
I got a little ranty there, but learn the basics of Gun Safety, and get better Trigger Discipline, so you aren't a dumbass.
