First post written on an iPhone, let's do this.
It's always been weird to me to see characters (used in a loose sense here) like Beret, or in this case, White Hat, appearing outside of their traditional roles. I keep trying to read this as White Hat in his straw man self, like how you read text in a higher voice if it's a caption under a picture of Mickey Mouse. But nope, it really does seem like he's just supposed to be Person B in a dialogue and nothing else. >shrug emoticon goes here<
I wonder if being mentioned in XKCD will turn out to have given The Martian notably higher box office numbers than it would have had otherwise.
It's nice that Randy's being self deprecating, but it's mostly ruined by how the joke just kinda flounders for two extra lines. Instead of the punch line being the end, the dialogue continues on as if nothing's happened. It's like Randy's just trying to write a conversation that happens to have a funny bit in it, rather than making the funny part the focal point.
In conclusion, I graduated high school.
