"The Budlup swa-dicks effect". Christ, what an unwieldy title. Makes ""...not something intended to make you feel good."" seem downright reasonable.
Now, I get the joke is that all those words have reasonable meanings if you put "effect" after each of them, like The Doppler Effect is something something perception of light something something was on The Big Bang Theory once. And I get that Randy is combining them all to make something that would never actually be experienced.
Je comprends. Je aussi prend que Randy est une imbecile. Mon aéroglisseur est plein d'anguilles.
On top of having the "art as framework that has no real effect on the joke" thing going on, this is one of the least accessible jokes I think I've ever seen. How many people can really claim to get this? And worst of all, it doesn't even seem to be worth getting. The effects pile on top of each other in an over-the-top mess, much like a poorly-produced shoegaze album. This reads more like a weird 'match column A to column B' thing, match the names to the parts of the effect that they correspond to, see how many you can get.
Also, that does not look like a firetruck. Which is weird, because none of the effects specify a firetruck anywhere in explainxkcd's description of them.
