duh
Original: duh on Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
Transcript
Panel 1:
Woman: It's amazing how Einstein ever worked out the general theory of relativity.
Man (with reddish hair): It's only counterintuitive. Cute 50% duh.
Panel 2:
Woman: What?
Man: 'Duh' means obvious. 'No duh' means obvious, that implies a U-shaped curve.
Panel 3 (a graph with a U-shaped/parabola curve, y-axis labeled "Obviousness", x-axis going from "50% duh" at the bottom of the curve):
Caption: The right and left extremities are high levels of obviousness, with minimal non-obviousness being at precisely the middle of the distribution: 50% duh.
Labels along the curve: 50% duh, 50% duh
Panel 4:
Man (reddish hair): That's... that's...
Woman: That concept is 50% duh.
Man: Duh!
Woman: No duh.
Votey:
Speaker (a person, partially drawn, gesturing): We can enter the imaginary plane by adding the imaginary constant to duh. This is known as doi.

A four-panel SMBC comic about a pun on the word "duh." Panel 1: a woman and a man with reddish hair talk; she marvels that Einstein worked out general relativity, and he replies "It's only counterintuitive. Cute 50% duh." Panel 2: she asks "What?" and he explains that 'duh' means obvious and 'no duh' also means obvious, which implies a U-shaped curve. Panel 3: a graph shows a U-shaped (parabola) curve with the y-axis labeled "Obviousness." A caption reads that the left and right extremities are high obviousness, with minimal non-obviousness at the precise middle of the distribution: "50% duh." Panel 4: the man stammers "That's... that's..." and the woman deadpans "That concept is 50% duh." He says "Duh!" and she replies "No duh." Votey: a person gesturing says "We can enter the imaginary plane by adding the imaginary constant to duh. This is known as doi."
