CUSTOMER: I just don't get this End User License Agreement. It doesn't make any sense.

ALEX: Well, the first thing to understand is that you're not actually purchasing our software. You're purchasing a license to use our software, which we can revoke at any time, for any reason.

ALEX: Since it's a license to use, not to own, there are no guarantees the software will actually work, and we are not legally required to make it work.

CUSTOMER: I see...

CUSTOMER: Is there anything you ARE legally required to do?

ALEX: We are legally required to make you pay for this call. You'll be billed in a month.

Endorsements

"Desperately Unfunny."
- Someone on Dean's World

"The artwork is lame and repetitive, the 'jokes' are either inside software industry jokes or thinly disguised anti-capitalist rantings."
- Someone else on Dean's World

"Are there really 80 people who find any reference to Microsoft in a web comic funny?"
- Someone on Reddit

"Why has this been running since 1996? Who actually reads it? Who is the idiot who reads it every day and posts the 'good' ones up on reddit? Doesn't he realize he is wasting his time?"
- Someone else on Reddit

"My god, my eyes are bleeding now. To think that there are comics out there which are worse than User Friendly is every way, when User Friendly was already pretty bottom-of-the-barrel in all departments!"
- Someone on Slashdot (With apologies to User Friendly, who got hit in the crossfire.)

"I'm burying this alive. Oh, look. Digg's comment window is jumping up and down in excitement. It's like it's nodding and agreeing with me. Yay."
- Someone on Digg
