OK, to try to make it less vague, somebody posted a link a while back to a webcomic that was drawn mostly stick-man style. It has a cult following, and one particular comic I’m thinking of had one guy thinking he was cool for making a pop culture reference that only 1% of the population would get and the other guy punishing him severely and savagely for it. I can’t really think of how to search for it: stick man, snarky comment, dismemberment? Plus, the SDMB search engine gerbils are notoriously overtaxed. Could somebody point me to it pleeeez? ---

Just in case it’s not the above mentioned comic, perhaps it might be [Cyanide and Happiness](http://www.explosm.net/comics/1075/) ? ---

I was going to suggest the various works of Matt Feazell collectively known as [Not Available Comics](http://hometown.aol.com/cynicalman/NAComics.htm), but the OP seems to have been answered. ---

Yeah, Cynicalman deserves a rennaisance. There was one strip where he got lost in some sort of megacorporate building, wandered into a CEO’s office, and started answering phone calls. He eventually was talking to about 12 people at a time, and he told one of them, “No, don’t lay off the department! Fire some vice presidents!” ---

I can’t youTube from work, but search it for “stick man animation” or something similar. There’s a martial arts stick man animation there where one stick man mutilates about 500 other differently colored stickmen in every imaginable way. I think that if you like stick men, you won’t be disappointed. ---

That sounds like one of the XiaoXiao shorts, probably XiaoXiao3.
