Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!

Rules:

Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.
Single panels are preferred.
Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.
Don't be a dick.
I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

I'm honestly very confused by it. This rules make less and less sense to me everyday because the creators werent clueless idiots, damn near every post here was intentionally funny? Do you mean no humor only comics or obvious jokes?

Or is it if the character is saying it to make a joke or trying to be funny? Is it fine if the writer/artists intent was to be funny?

The point of the community is not to share good jokes that they have found from comics. It's to share a single frame that, without the rest of the page, has a different connotation than originally intended.

Usually, the older the comic, the more likely you'll run into these cases. Modern comics are written with modern language in mind. Today Archie is MUCH less likely to say how "gay he is" because nobody really uses that term to mean happy anymore.
