The scurrilous rogue Adam Carolla once posited that the perfect thought routine for delaying orgasm would be to “picture your grandparents… playing baseball… in Vietnam.”
The way she manipulated Sarah after Sarah saved her from being raped and right before shopping was neither sweet, naive nor clueless. Did use the APPEARANCE of being sweet, but no.
She quite expertly threw a fit, withdrew into a seemingly innocent apology, then used her big blue eyes to seem like the more damaged party.
Neither is barging into people’s rooms without invitation when their friendships are not confirmed “sweet”. Literally getting in somebody’s face to wake them for your petty insecurities is far from sweet.
Huge signs of being an over indulged, poorly socialized youngest child though.
I don’t recall that first example at all. She was almost raped, though. Maybe cut her some slack.

What rational reason would anybody have for cutting her some slack?
Yes, Joyce was almost raped. It was Sarah who stopped it.
Which was followed up days later by Joyce yelling at Sarah that Sarah hates her.
Why? Because Joyce wanted to go buy boots with Billie and Sarah advised against it.
Yeah, she had a little tantrum and threw out that line to the person who saved her.
BTW, Joyce has no memory of the rape attempt, so it isn’t the excuse you make it out to be. Others told her what happened, so she certainly knows about Sarah and her bat.
timemonkey
Joyce does have some memory of it. Joyce also explains herself quite clearly, she’s grateful Sarah saved her but being distant and rude the whole time doesn’t indicate friendship. You’ll notice Sarah actually listened and lightened up somewhat after that.

I -would- save someone I hate, from rape.
No matter how much I dislike someone, no one deserves to be raped.
So yes, she can be saved from rape, and Joyce still gets to yell that Sarah hates her.
No, I don’t think it was ok. It -was- a petty tantrum. Just pointing out that those things don’t need to be related.
Joyce may be naive, and governed by certain unrealistic points of view, but she strikes me as pretty bright. Sophmoric would be more apt, which most of the cast is to one degree or another.
I read a lot of MLP fanfiction, and I used to review it quite frequently with a group on FiMFiction.net called the Train Wreck Explorers. When someone expected that the TWE would hit a fic soon, they’d say they heard trains. Unfortunately, the owner of the site, Knighty, unleashed his +1 Sword of Unnecessary Deletion on the group.
You brought back a lot of memories with your comment, and now I must hate you for it.
Look at Joyce, looking all self-righteous and shit. It’s those kind of people who think they’re above and purer than everyone else that make my stomach turn.

Oh, this is gonna be good.
That spoony bard
I know, right.
Also, that line at the end reminds me of this punch line from another comic.
http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=810
That line has now ruined sex forever in TWO comics!
Galeus
Margaret Thatcher usually does the trick.
Tunaro
Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day! Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day!

That never works. Next thing you know a Canadian try to be English come in and just dances around in his undies and socks. Strangely no sex though.

Oh, *that’s* why the grandma thing, huh?
Well then, I have the perfect solution.
Ever see The Langoliers? Just keep it playing in the background…

TMI, Joe
Tunaro
He’s channeling his Inner Mike.
Spack
Does Inner Mike charge Joe an extra nickel for being the middleman with somebody’s grandma?
Lilly
Nah, Mike would have said he thinks about your mom and a bag full of nickels, haha.
Lokitsu
Mike will channel your Grandma for a nickel.

What. Why. I had reasonable amounts of respect for you. Focus, man, focus!

It’s Joyce.
Sweet innocent Joyce.
Sweet, naive, clueless Joyce.

Sweet, stupid, dumb, ignorant, unintelligent Joyce.

“Oh GrandMA….. OH!!”

“Wait…did you just call me grandma?”

I wonder if that’s what happened with Roz.

“Happy Birthday, Grandma!”

Oh my god, you’ve ruined sex forever!
Ocbrad1
Nope. That line has already been used!
DanMan9820
That’s the joke. He was very clearly making a reference to Questionable Content.
CleverTrousers
As was Ocbrad1.
Maybe somebody should memorize their QC archive better.

Get okay with being gay Ethan, go with your friend.
Plasma Mongoose
Yes Ethan, its OK to be gay!
Lokitsu
And if you WERE gay…

That’d be okay… I mean, hey! I like you an-y-way. If you were queer, I’d still be here, year after year! Because you’re dear to me.
It’s been years since I’ve heard that song, and I still remember that.
ninja_jesus
WHY IS THIS SONG HAUNTING ME
Brando
FUCK YOU PM, FUCK YOU FOR MAKING ME REMEMBER THAT BAND EXISTS.
God DAMN that song is so bad it makes me want to join the Klan, and I’M BI!
Plasma Mongoose
Don’t mind me, I’m just sitting back as I bask in your ‘love’.
Bill
Well, if PM hadn’t posted it I would have, so you might as well hate me too.
Bill
Sorry, that was Lokitsu that was on the same wavelength as I was.
ninja_jesus
I never said I hated anyone. And I certainly don’t hate the song. I just wish I didn’t encounter it everywhere I went.
tom
WTF, that video just turned me straight. My bf is going to be *so* pissed.
timemonkey
I love that song. Have it on my ipod and everything.

4th panel makes a great reaction face.

Well shiver me timbers matey!

She’s describing an exciting commercial for Captain Crunch she saw once.

Nah she is doing her impression of Don Kanonji
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Keep it classy Joe. We all know you have to maintain somehow.
The Candyman
Does Joe have a problem with firing off early?
Plasma Mongoose
You shouldn’t judge him so prematurely. 😀
Yotomoe
Don’t try to pull a fast one on him.
Cliff
Don’t be so quick to
shotshoot out your opinion on him.Historyman68
Don’t ejaculate your opinion all over our faces.
KingMabel
So no cereal?
March
Keep it classy, Joe.
Lilly
Awww, Joyce hurt Joe’s feelings, haha.
Kernanator
Wait, what’s that I hear? Is it the sound of an oncoming trainwreck? I think it is!
asmcint
I hate you for that, and I must now describe why:
I read a lot of MLP fanfiction, and I used to review it quite frequently with a group on FiMFiction.net called the Train Wreck Explorers. When someone expected that the TWE would hit a fic soon, they’d say they heard trains. Unfortunately, the owner of the site, Knighty, unleashed his +1 Sword of Unnecessary Deletion on the group.

ninja_jesus
Yesh, and they say clopfic readers are crazy. <_< No offense.
Gottawonder
And so it goes, Ethan is going to keep running into this kind of confrontation. Amazing how small big campus’s can actually be.
Joe thinks about Grandma’s during sex!!! Okay I’m totally missing this.
Cliff
Not sure myself, but I’d assume that it’s done to make him “last longer”. Those quotes weren’t exactly necessary, lol.
All Else Fails
Look at Joyce, looking all self-righteous and shit. It’s those kind of people who think they’re above and purer than everyone else that make my stomach turn.
Yotomoe
Someone should flip her smile.
Plasma Mongoose
Make that triangle point up for a change.
JBO
And put a condom cap on her so Kernanator has a new Gravatar!
Plasma Mongoose
One new condom hat pic for Kernanator coming up.

Opus the Poet
wrong character, that’s dina and the request was for joyce.
Plasma Mongoose
But Kerny already has a condom hated Joyce.
Opus the Poet
I’m sure Joyce does hate condoms. They have to do with sex.
Cliff
1. Pretty sure Joyce doesn’t think she’s above and purer than anyone. Hence the reason she’s still keeping friends who aren’t Christians.
2. It’s pretty clear that YOU find yourself above those kind of people. So what does that comment really say about you? 🙂
