It Makes Sense in Context. Well, sort of.

• Getting Bill Amend, the guy who does FoxTrot to do a guest strip for him.
• Party.
• FUCK. THAT. SHIT.
• You just WON the Game
• HARK!
• A Bunch Of Rocks. Blows me away, and even hits a good punchline.
• This happened to my friend...
• Black Hat Guy has an innumerable amount of these:
  • Black Hat gets his hat back.
    • Let us not forget that girl's crowning moment of awesome that started the whole thing off...
  • And then he declines the position of Internet Secretary... and how.
  • Communicating badly and then acting smug when you're misunderstood is not cleverness. I hope we've learned something today.
  • This troper firmly believes that anyone who doesn't wish they could do this is either not human or a liar.
  • This one as seen below, which is a crowning moment for anyone with many female friends who actively engage in the use of the internet and sees the crap they put up with.
• The Showdown.
• Even Stephanie Meyer gets one.
  • For clarification, you DID read that right: Stephanie. Fucking. MEYER. gets one.
• The comic inspired a change in Youtube's user interface, in under two weeks.
  • Another one: Comic #195 inspired a project to make a map of the ENTIRE INTERNET.
• Stand aside! The original Windmill Crusader finally gets his moment.
• The World According to a Group of Americans
• #734, #735, and #736. All three are among the best strips Munroe has done, and even garnered praise from xkcd's primary hateblog. And all three appeared in the span of one week.
• For Randall for strip #687: the math checks out to be within the error bars of the equation given.
• #841. Burn.
• The reprise of Science: It works, bitches.
• "I think we've got something here..." "Something" being the best action movie ever.
• It's a bird... it's a plane... it's Sagan-Man! On a serious note, eliminating crime and improving scientific research at the same time would be very awesome.
• I have just one tattoo. Doubles as a Tear Jerker, if one is familiar with the... events... in the author's life around the time.
• They just turned the science of passwords on its head.
• Linux users being elitists is also funny.
• Money. Holy... The hours of work!!!!!
  • In the same stream of thought, while not part of the main comic, the now famous radiation chart is a fairly awesome moment for Randall.
• Umwelt. The image changes depending on what browser you are using, what OS you are running, how wide your screen is, the height of your screen, where you are coming from, and your geographical location. Known variants include (but are not limited to): Wikipedia, Reddit, the UK, Alaska, Florida, Illinois, Germany, the Google corporate network, MIT, a mobile browser, the Chrome browser, Netscape Navigator, Israel, the Armed Forces, and many, many more.
• Every Major's Terrible, which bemoans the uselessness of liberal arts degrees while pointing out how the various science majors have their own deficiencies... all to the tune of the Major-General Song. Almost immediately, Youtube videos started popping up of people attempting to sing the damn thing.
• Time, strip #1190. Randall Munroe posted on average one frame per hour for 3,099 panels, telling a speculative fiction story in slow motion. This strip has its own Wikipedia page and its own wiki, and won Randall the 2014 Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story.
