That last one was actually kindof funny. :)
sure they are XKCD subtle-sometimes-LOL-funny but imo they are grumpy-man real-life-application semi-funny... kinda like the "HowCast" series of videos on Youtube, which are rarely hilarious but kinda quirky-funny depending on the subject (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSh1JNZkb-g + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r34zqR1bpmg ).
also, doesn't this remind Mr. A of a certain long-suffering veteran employee at a certain sweat shop (with a dream ending) ? http://basicinstructions.net/basic-instructions/2010/11/9/how-to-be-a-team-player.html
also also, imo this is the kind of attitude I hope to see at our next poker home game:

Still "meh"
I'm not a fan of XKCD either... which I know might be a shock to some.
I prefer dadaist humor like SMBC or Zippy the Pinhead
