Some comics ease you into a joke. Others give you just enough time to think you know where things are going before completely pulling the rug out from under you. Jon Baker, the cartoonist behind “Alarmingly Bad,” has made that kind of unpredictability a defining part of his humor, turning seemingly ordinary situations into punchlines that are anything but. “Alarmingly Bad” has made several appearances on Bored Panda before, most recently in our previous collection of Baker’s wonderfully unpredictable cartoons. Fortunately, he has continued coming up with plenty of new jokes since then, giving us another reason to revisit his work.

Baker finds material just about everywhere. His comics often begin with a straightforward setup before veering into something ridiculous, surreal, or very dark. Paired with his expressive characters and colorful artwork, even the strangest scenarios somehow feel right at home in the world he has created.

    Way back in Ye Olden Days I was setting up my very first email account with the help of my far more tech savvy SO at the time. The internet service provider's email client was a terminal program, so I (who had grown up using first and second generation Macintoshes) had to learn to use a terminal emulator program which had to be navigated with typed commands (and sometimes arrow keys and so on to move around the screen). Anyways, right after setting up the account I'm logging in for the first or second time and, even though the password prompt ALWAYS hid what you typed, I realized I messed up the previous character, so I back-spaced out of habit to fix it. He started saying "Oh no, you can't backspace and fix the password like that, it will still fail as an incorrect password and you'll have to try again." But since the only way out was through, I just kept typing the corrected password and hit "enter".... and it worked! He was totally shocked, lol!
