HAUNTER USED CONFUSE RAY! (comic)

Makes you wonder about confuse ray… is it so powerful that Pokemon actually think they’re supposed to hit themselves? Or are they just so dumb that being commanded to hit themselves is perfectly reasonable?

    If I was kept in a ball by the likes of Ash, I'd probably hit myself a lot too. Just saying.

    Personally, I always thought confusion caused pokemon to be dazed, so that when attempting to use an attack, they would either trip and fall over, hurting themselves, or whatever energy (if it's a special attack) would backfire and blow up in their face, like that scene in Avatar: The Last Airbender when they hit Combustion Man in the face with a rock and then when he tried to use his mind blast thingy it blew him up.

  4. gangler on August 23rd, 2011 7:03 pm

    And then Sokka does it again later with his boomerang. That guy was deceptively lame.

  5. Bobomberman on August 23rd, 2011 7:06 pm

    My favorite part is when it gets confused for the maximum amount of turns and hits itself EVERY TIME. The computer never cheats, that'd be silly!

  6. RemielChibus on August 23rd, 2011 7:07 pm

    There is nothing witty I can say that will trump this image.

    …well, he does seem quite flaming-

    No! DON'T DO IT! *yanks hand back*

  7. Omnomynous on August 23rd, 2011 7:12 pm

    I remeber in the anime they would think they would hit the pokemon, but they'd be hitting the floor or a nearby wall.
    Wait, this is halolz, the site of funniness! so ignore my comic and enjoy the following gif.

    which i don't know how to put up here….

  8. AuraMaster on August 23rd, 2011 7:13 pm

    The path to truth begins with one simple question: Why are you hitting yourself? Why are you hitting yourself?

  9. AuraMaster on August 23rd, 2011 7:14 pm

    A level 4 Haunter? I call hax.

  10. Omnomynous on August 23rd, 2011 7:15 pm

    Because That's not Ash, maybe?

    COMMON SENSE.

  11. spplmj on August 23rd, 2011 7:21 pm

    Damn you beat me to derpmander, So I raise you one Michigan J. Mudkip!

    You cant not liek him.

  12. MorningMoon on August 23rd, 2011 7:22 pm

    +1 for referencing A:TLA!

    Btw, dude! January 25 comes out the first tradepaper by DarkHorse that takes place after the finale!!

  13. Alpar on August 23rd, 2011 7:24 pm

    This comic can't clearly represent how accurate Pokemon is. I mean just LOOK at that Haunter's level! Don't you artists know anything?!

  14. MorningMoon on August 23rd, 2011 7:24 pm

    I must have been hit by that confuse ray, it looks to me like that Haunter is lvl 4!

  15. Q_Walrus on August 23rd, 2011 7:25 pm

    I think I'm in the same boat as Mr. Chibus here. I so desperately wanted to say something funny about this post, but… no. It just won't ever be Derpmander. And for that, my life is incomplete.

  16. BoxeyBrown on August 23rd, 2011 7:30 pm

    At lease it's not a freaking zubat!

  17. Ovahdrive on August 23rd, 2011 7:30 pm

    Yeah, if that's ash, then he's put on a few pounds… or 50.

  18. Skrist on August 23rd, 2011 7:31 pm
  19. Nick15 on August 23rd, 2011 7:34 pm

    In all seriousness, I always envisioned a confused Pokemon was spinning around and had become very nauseated, to the degree that they couldn’t even see what the hell it was doing. As such, it either got lucky and hit the other Pokemon, or it fell down and thus damaged itself in its fall.

    At least, that’s how I figured it…

  20. Skrist on August 23rd, 2011 7:35 pm

    And people think computers and robots are going to take us over? If they have any bits of intelligence they'll just troll us. Which I mind you… is already effective against ourselves. 'o'

  21. coltsman88 on August 23rd, 2011 7:38 pm

    If I remember correctly, Ash's Charmander evolves into Charizard. A really, really lazy Charizard.

  22. Arch_Evil_Angel on August 23rd, 2011 7:45 pm

    Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself!

  23. MasterLuigi452 on August 23rd, 2011 7:50 pm

    This.

  24. Skrist on August 23rd, 2011 7:50 pm
  25. MasterLuigi452 on August 23rd, 2011 7:51 pm

    In my opinion, the trainers are stupid.
    If Pokemons are confused, why not just tell them with some extra description?
    Say "Use Ember on that Haunter!"

    ……….oh right.
    They are 10…

  26. The_AntiVillain on August 23rd, 2011 7:58 pm

    true dat

  27. Vabolo on August 23rd, 2011 8:01 pm

    And is followed by an alarming answer: Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself!

  28. Vabolo on August 23rd, 2011 8:02 pm

    Damn that is some fine url!

  29. Vabolo on August 23rd, 2011 8:03 pm

    Dat hat.

  30. CriticalQuit on August 23rd, 2011 8:29 pm

    To be fair, Sokka IS Boomerang Guy. Well, until he got a sword. Then he was Boomerang AND Sword guy. He just needed bombs and a bow and he'd be Link.

  31. CriticalQuit on August 23rd, 2011 8:30 pm

    It was one of the best shows on Nick, and surprisingly successful for a story-driven show as opposed to the random-episode format ever single other show on Nick follows.

    Oh, is that when they're starting off Legend of Korra or whatever the next-avatar show is?

  32. Drjolt on August 23rd, 2011 8:35 pm

    Yes Charmander, hit yourself until i am pleased by your pain.

  33. smashpro1 on August 23rd, 2011 8:48 pm

    GIVE ME IT.

  34. MorningMoon on August 23rd, 2011 8:53 pm

    Korra starts next year (not sure if fall or spring) and, i think this trailer will make you NEVER forget her name. rel="nofollow">

    The comics will follow Aang as he struggles with the scarred world once the war is over. Will likely be our source to find out what happened to Zuko's mom.

  35. gangler on August 23rd, 2011 9:06 pm

    Hey, Sakka never defeated Zukko with that boomerang. That's all I'm saying.

  36. Ovahdrive on August 23rd, 2011 9:17 pm
  37. Jimmy on August 23rd, 2011 9:24 pm

    Oh right, pokémon can't understand human speech except for their names and commands…like dogs…

    …except Lucario which can understand all human speech. W.T.F. Nintendo.

  40. Seanhl on August 23rd, 2011 10:01 pm

    so someone finally found an appropriate use for this gif, it only took 3/4 of a year

  41. Seanhl on August 23rd, 2011 10:03 pm

    and that sword was much sharper that link's, when was the last time link cut through solid steel by THROWING his sword

  42. CriticalQuit on August 23rd, 2011 10:08 pm

    He can't even cut through trees with that thing.

    And Sokka can tell jokes. Link can't even talk!

  43. CriticalQuit on August 23rd, 2011 10:09 pm

    Sounds fun.

    Ahhh, a comic! Excellent.

  44. Seanhl on August 23rd, 2011 10:10 pm

    so, I'm interpreting the video as instead of how Aang had air bending down already, then learned water bending, Korra will be an almost master of water bending and then learn fire bending, also $30 she's Aang's and Katara's great granddaughter or something

  45. Seanhl on August 23rd, 2011 10:11 pm

    that's why it took me two FUCKING months to get enough rathalos plates to make a rathling gun+ in monster hunter tri

  46. Seanhl on August 23rd, 2011 10:13 pm

    it wasn't lazy, it just didn't like Ash very much, can't say I blame him for torching Ash as much as pikachu electrocuted him

  47. Seanhl on August 23rd, 2011 10:18 pm

    must… resist… urge… to… say… Pow! Right in the kisser!

  48. Seanhl on August 23rd, 2011 10:21 pm

    which confuses me all the more when during the tutorial part of twilight princess, the guy asks link to talk to him from a distance and then says his voice carries far… like usual.. link has been faking all this time, which is why zombie link in the same game talks (you know who I'm talking about)

  49. Passerby Boy on August 23rd, 2011 10:30 pm

    POW! HAHA!

  50. gangler on August 23rd, 2011 10:47 pm

    She's already learned fire, water, and earth by the time it starts. She has to learn air from Ang and Katara's son, who's kind of reluctant on account of having a family of his own at this point.

    I thought he was called Charmanderp…?

  54. CriticalQuit on August 23rd, 2011 11:48 pm

    Well, judging between that, the pokemon games, and Cave Story, everyone can read the main protagonist's mind.

  55. ChemicalKirby on August 23rd, 2011 11:53 pm

    Dude, that command was confusing…i don't know what uuuuuuuusssse embeeeeeer means….

  56. WestheAwesome on August 24th, 2011 12:04 am

    Oh how I've tried that…..

  57. Sid_Diddly on August 24th, 2011 12:07 am

    I propose a solution. If your pokemon is confused just tell it, "Hit yourself!" It'll hit the other pokemon in it's confusion. Super Effective.

  58. Vosur on August 24th, 2011 12:27 am
  59. BTSnoogans on August 24th, 2011 12:29 am

    Hmmm… reverse psychology. Charmander, hit yourself in the face!

  60. gangler on August 24th, 2011 12:40 am

    Come to think of it, Ash challenged the elite four and he still couldn't get his pokemon to follow simple orders. Plus in his first battle in there he learned that electric type attacks are ineffective against grass types. This was a revelation for him at this point in the journey.

    He must have studied to be that terrible.

  61. TCC on August 24th, 2011 12:48 am

    fuck yeah, Mokepon… *brofist*

  62. Bobomberman on August 24th, 2011 1:05 am

    Same for me… but in Metal Gear: Peacewalker, friggen Gear Rex, GIMME YO DROPS!

  63. KungFuDeli on August 24th, 2011 1:12 am

    I…
    good show (^_^) d

  64. KZN02 on August 24th, 2011 1:20 am

    You best harvest some Persim Berries.

  65. Seanhl on August 24th, 2011 1:56 am

    so what your saying is, he wants to go home and be a family man?

  66. TomQuoVadis on August 24th, 2011 1:59 am

    Pokemon are obviously incredibly stupid creatures. Despite basically being walking natural disasters and having sentience on par with a human, they still allow themselves to be pit fighters for eleven year olds.

  67. TomQuoVadis on August 24th, 2011 2:00 am

    Back in my day we didn't have no Persim Berries. When your Pokemon got confused, you roughed it out. Kids today with your cell phones and your trashbag Pokemon and your rabble rabble rabble….

  68. Jimmy on August 24th, 2011 2:40 am

    *Returns Brofist*

    AAAAWWWWW YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

  69. TehVortex on August 24th, 2011 6:44 am

    I remember in the anime when Ash's Buizel got confused, so Ash just returned him and threw him back out again. I screamed "THAT'S CHEATING!" at the tv. What I never got though, if that's legal in the world of the anime, is why he never did it again?

  70. L3re7z on August 24th, 2011 7:08 am

    NEW! HAX'R'US!

  71. vash_ts on August 24th, 2011 8:42 am

    but I dont think Sokka could survive 6 hours of "hey, listen!"

  72. vash_ts on August 24th, 2011 8:43 am

    It makes sense that, after a Supersonic attack, he cant hear a thing of what you say…

  73. vash_ts on August 24th, 2011 8:44 am

    Or when you are about dying, use a superpotion, and the opponent kills you anyway with critical attack

  74. vash_ts on August 24th, 2011 8:46 am

    charmander isnt any longer confused!
    charmander used belly drum!
    charmander damages itself!

  75. vash_ts on August 24th, 2011 8:47 am

    GEEK HAMMER!
    it evolves into a very lazy Charmeleon

    THEN evolves into charizard, just for fighting…
    THEN Idiotic ash Gives him away…

    "Milktank Hurt itself in its confusion!"

    Oh I'm sorry, I meant Bitter Berries.

  81. Vabolo on August 24th, 2011 2:09 pm

    It makes me sad that you post the Family Guy version of that, and not the classic original version.

  82. Gentlemenkip on August 24th, 2011 2:21 pm

    1) Couldn't find the real version
    2) Couldn't find a gif of any version

    Idk, this version's funnier, and not implying he's guilty of domestic abuse (although Peter is ironically)

  90. sims796 on August 25th, 2011 11:22 am

    It is not, however, top fucking percentile.

  91. penguindude42 on August 25th, 2011 3:06 pm

    Hopefully, it was worth the weight. *Episode 3 delayed*

  92. coltsman88 on August 26th, 2011 1:29 am

    It also loses a fight with an Entei, and a Blaziken…. yeah it doesn't have a really good track record.

  93. JboneDRS on August 29th, 2011 4:06 am

    Of course! It's the perfect plan! Hitting myself will raise my adrenaline to a point that I will be unstoppable! My trainer is brilliant! FOR GLORY!
