Face - I'm the only one in the team who put points into Etiquette?
It's fair to note that the person on the end of the phone is not themselves responsible for how everything is horrible about ISPs, but the comic is demonstrating the user experience which is that this person on the end of the phone just told me to get in a different line.

Troll - It doesn't matter what archetype you have, you're a Troll, and therefore you're the meatshield and human forklift.
I think context matters
Nova is like, a dude trying his best and sometimes the internet goes out because he's at the far end of the world and the Orcs are attacking from Northrend
Now, Comcast on the other hand,
Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.

Do you know how far north we are?! you're lucky gravity still works!

I dunno blame capitalism for forcing you to participate
I work for an evil tech giant and people spend all day talking about how the thing I help manage is evil cyberpunk dystopia shit and anyone who has it is a fool
makes me feel great
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
the juice from these cherries is leaking out of my springform pan
I wonder if this will fuck up the whole recipe
Mary Berry is gonna be pissed

Like, the Sloths at the DMV joke is also unfair to DMV workers who did not in fact design the system.
Are people still having issues with the DMV? Last time I went it was smooth. Take a number depending on what service you’re there for. As long as you have all the proper documents that are listed on the site, then there are no issues.
I guess blame the city for not having more locations?

DMVs can be pretty horrible when racism is a local mainstay, yeah.
I think, universally, your dmv experience depends on whether you're able to visit during the workday or you're stuck with the jammed packed 10-4 Saturday hours

I mean, we're all pitted against each other while the robber barons who own the companies we work for laugh and light cigars with hundred dollar bills.
I don't like that Jerry and Mike, two people who frequently talk about being retail workers in their youth and how awful it was, are happy to demonize workers in the exact same situation.
Remember that whole thing about punching up? I don't think this is that.

That comic would be 1000x times better if in the last panel you had the monster as a manager standing behind the beleaguered call center dude saying “now tell him he needs to be transferred to another department”

Other - Look, we don't have a class-based system here, so everyone has some weird special snowflake build designed to maximize Shurikens or some shit like that.
Ork Investigator - Wait what? Get out of here. WTF?
I could see the angle of the exhaustion of knowing that by calling customer support at Comcast/et all, you are opening your third eye and entering a pack with demons. Even knowing it's just a person trying to do their job on the other end of the line, there is a way to make that joke work, but I agree they didn't succeed here.

I.....can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, but I don't think it would be any less funny if the dialogue was unchanged, and it was just a person in the last frame.
Today's PA is one of the super rare ones that I actively dislike.
It's got real "I'LL LAY THESE DOLLARS OUT. IT'S YOUR TIP. FOR EVERY MISTAKE I WILL REMOVE ONE" energy to it, don't it?
It's literally demonizing people who are generally doing their best to help you within a very constrained list of possible actions their job allows them to take.
Hmmm. Understandable.
Yet I've also been on the phone to customer support and they very politely want nothing more than to argue semantics and will avoid talking about the problem.
Is like to remind the court that my past job in the Navy requires taking trouble calls from various operators who ranges in competency from Ace switchboard operator to drooling moron who may have called simply because they were lost or used up all goodwill with thier supervisor and needed a fifteenth explanation on how to setup a circuit.

unless those boats are carrying amazon packages i doubt people really give a shit
What’s going on here????
I mean it would be a very long comic if they showed how they became a monster via the hive lord CEO.
*slams me gusta*
Those pedals aren’t connected to anything. Are they just standing in place?
... no...
Yes. Knocks down the top 1%

I'll say this about the DMV:
Customers show up having no fucking idea what they need and with none of the required documentation

MrsNubs name change is kind of half done and they very much didn’t like that.
So now my car is basically unregistered anywhere and there’s literally nothing I can do about it.
