The Brick Awards: the best of the worst tournament

[137beth]

Huh, this is a really good idea!


I'm going to go with 43 for the introduction of the first actual plotline.

[Emanick]

18: Double Surprise. I've read that strip so many times, I'd forgotten how funny it was the first time around.

[Bundin]

After careful consideration, my vote goes to #1. The 'in character' commenting about rules hooked me, I came for the dnd gags, I stayed for the story :)

[obaryb]

82. Just like my children...

[declinator]

18 for me. Double sneak attack!

[Dushara]

I have to vote for 35, because that's the strip the Giant is most proud of, right?

[dmc91356]

It's 18 for me, as it made me literally laugh out loud when I read it.

[LotusWyvern]

It was neat to go back and reread these. I liked 18 the best!

[Bluepaw]

Introduction of the Order of the Stick? Necessary. Introduction of the Linear Guild? Important. But dramatic musical cues for the dead chimera? Classic.

#21.

[Elenna]

Great idea!

I think I'll go with 67, because Elan is awesome. Also, it hasn't gotten many votes so far.

[Sylian]

67 gets my vote.

Wow, #72 remains unloved! Ouch!

I am going to have to vote for #18, not because it's an excellent strip, or because it did anything memorable, but because it has lasted, more than any other, in the hearts and minds of those making outlandish predictions on these forums over a decade later.

On future rounds

I am going to stick with the "10 rounds per contest" rule, but I was "rounding up" when I had to split comics which were originally in the same group together, and instead in the future I'll just "round down" instead. So 10 will be the MAXIMUM number of strips, not the minimum.

VOTING IS NOW CLOSED!

18 Double Surprise is the winner this week. It will probably make it into some sort of tournament if this proves popular enough (which, despite all my expectations, it is!)

Wow, #72 remains unloved! Ouch!

And made it through to the **** award, the best of the very worst of the Order of the Stick. So tune in next year.

72 makes it to the Hyper Brick Awards

[Porthos]

72 makes it to the Hyper Brick Awards

I'd say the Licked Awards (as in repeatedly beaten), but I'm afraid the other definitions of the word probably precludes it.

....

Stink Awards could work, you know.

PS: "Not It", BTW.

[ti'esar]

The irony is that I don't even think 72 is a particularly bad comic. It made me chuckle, at least.

[StLordeth]

Yeah, I liked it. It has an even better followup where Belkar/Haley/Elan are pissed at Roy/V for it though.

The irony is that I don't even think 72 is a particularly bad comic. It made me chuckle, at least.

The only comic in this round that I would consider "bad" was 35.

[PopeLinus1]

67The first in a line of Elan-Beats-Nale Strips
