XKCD Explained, One Strip at a Time

Hey! It's like Marmaduke Explained (http://marmadukeexplained.blogspot.com/), but, in a subversive twist, the commentary is less funny than the comic. Postmodern!

I think XKCD is sophomoric, but this is largely just of godawful quality.

The blonde girl calls megan’s boyfriend and convinces him to make some delicious nachos. However, he doesn’t know that the blonde girl’s real motive was to kill megan’s wifi signal with the microwave he uses because they were playing a first person shooter video game against each other over the internet, and the blonde girl wanted to kill her.

If you're going to write something scathing about how foolish thing X is, you had better make damn well sure your writing is actually better than thing X. This reads like a bright 12-year-old posted it (but not that bright.)

It pretty much just ends up sounding very condescending (especially down the page).

Surprisingly, I actually think this may be useful to explain some comics to less-geeky friends who could still be able to appreciate them. Lot of them are horribly ruined by the explanations, but some of them (Locke on Wordpress, for one) would still be enjoyable, I think.
