I am kinda in the same boat as Randy here in that I have never been a sports person. Case in point: Until I read the title of this comic I would have written it "Superbowl".
My first reaction to this comic is that it is vastly inferior to #60 (also called Super Bowl), which features an actual joke that isn't a tacked-on "I like to eat the snack food". It even looks tacked on, with the smaller font, like he had everything else finished and added it in at the last minute.
"Caring about something makes people vulnerable, so not caring gives you power." ...that's exactly how I felt in seventh grade, and I find that logic very suspect now. Maybe it's just how vaguely it's worded, but I can't help thinking of that scene in The Incredibles when Syndrome tells Mr. Incredible that he's weak for not killing Mirage.
By the way, I watched The Incredibles for the first time in a few years the other day, and I was amazed at how well it held up. You should totally watch it.
Speaking of things that are incredible, I find the second panel incredibly condescending. To again compare this comic to my younger life, it reminds me of my mom trying to get me to try new foods as a toddler: "Try it, you might like it.".
I'm having a little bit of trouble exactly articulating this next bit, but aren't most friendships formed around common interests? Like, I'm not going to be a total prick and say "No, only talk about these subjects", but I'm going to expect my friends to want to talk about things we're both/all into. Does that make sense?
In conclusion, here's this cool gif of an angry dancing cactus I found on 8chan the other day:
