I really like the spelling of the young lady’s last word. I don’t know whether it is deliberate,
but I like it.

Personally, I think the spelling detracts from the joke; but you know, YMMV.

“Fleshlight”? Uh, that’s a real thing. I recommend looking it up, as I don’t know what kinds of links we are and aren’t allowed to share here.

Ah. That makes sense.

It also explains the alt-text: “Which is, coincidentally, the most unsettling mantlepiece decoration in my house.”

when in doubt, Wiki it:

Yep, “Fleshlight” is most definitely intentional. And for those who don’t want to look it up: it’s a toy vagina.

… disguised as a flashlight.

That too.

The Fleshlight was a running gag in Zack and Mira Make A Porno.

XKCD is one of those comics where, if in doubt, you should look it up. (Especially given Rule 34. http://xkcd.com/305/)

What a great time for the last panel to be cut off halfway across! Lucky I’d already read it.

So the joke is… ? That androids would have sex organs that are like sex toys? So, artificial people have artificial parts. Not the best xkcd I’ve seen.
Lola Jun 29th 2009 at 05:02 pm 14

Yeah, and COMPLETELY dispense with any foreplay. Very logical and efficient.

@Size — An additional factor is that the two androids have gone off to be with each other, leaving the humans where they started, with each other bt without the androids. Like buying sex toys to spice things up, but then just pairing the vibrator in the Fleshlight.

The alt-text was the LOL for me.

I can’t figure out what it says about me that I knew what a Fleshlight was but had to look up CIDU Bill’s acronym YMMV.

I mean, clearly it says I’m a dirty old pervert who never gets internet chat acronyms, but does it say something deeper?

And the only thing to limit how long they go is how long their batteries last.

Patrick: no I think you pretty much got it. same here
