Banter
This was an actual mock conversation  between me and a friend at TGIF. The waitress walked up around panel 5 and was somewhat put off.
Title text: This was an actual mock conversation between me and a friend at TGIF. The waitress walked up around panel 5 and was somewhat put off.

Explanation

This appears to be a comic about two guys trash-talking each other. The two guys begin by trashing each other with homophobic comments and your-mom jokes. It goes somewhat astray and becomes awkward when the first guy makes a pass at the second guy and is rejected.

Part of the element of the humor in this comic stems from the common assertion that the most-homophobic of men are the most likely to be a closeted homosexual. Another element is the creation of humor from the incredible awkwardness of the end conversation.

Fag, Ass pirate, Fudge packer, and Cock Jockey are all insulting euphemisms for a homosexual man. Cum Dumpster is an insulting euphemism for a person who receives penetrative orgasmic sex from a man, but it applies to both men and women (usually conveying sluttiness).

Randall's title text, that he mock-held this conversation with a friend in a restaurant indicates how awkward this would be in real life. Even the waitress, a bystander, is put off by it.
