Is (Handsome) Jack supposed to be funny?

[Mordy]

Cos the more he yammers on, the more i find myself wishing there was a mute button for him.

And yes, he's had few chuckle worthy quips, like the early game diamond pony Butt Stallion stuff, but those seem to be few and far between.

So now at the glorious level of 11, does his stuff get better later on and does anyone truly, honestly find him funny?

[ThePlagued]

I do. Not after the Angel event. because he got kinda somber. but before, sure.

[60]

Why do you want to mute him? You find him boring early?

[Toaster Bath]

He's funny up until his daughter dies, which makes sense.

The game isn't new anymore so the spoiler window is closed, if someone doesn't want spoilers for a game that's been out since 2012 that's on their own head. Why should we have to self-mute for the few stragglers just coming to the game?

[ShinkuTear]

Ignoring the spoiler topic...

Everyone has a differing opinion on what is and isn't funny or amusing. If you want Jack to shut up, just know this: Since you are working with the Crimson Raiders, his enemies, naturally, you will fight him.

Let your dislike for him and his yammering build, it'll make smacking his plastic surgery'd ass down SO much more enjoyable.

Personally, I got a few laughs from him, but not everything he said amused me. I *did* love every moment he seemed honestly frustrated though :D

Not really. Have you played every game and watched every movie that came out in 2012 and before? Didn't think so. It's not 'To Kill a Mockingbird' or 'Macbeth'. You shouldn't be spoiling key game stories and put spoiler alert accordingly.

As for the topic, I didn't really find him funny but rather a well-made villian that makes you want to kill him badly.

No, i haven't, but that doesn't give me or anyone any kind of right to demand that people tiptoe and ♥♥♥♥♥ foot around me so as not to spoil it for me. The world doesn't revolve around you...or me, or anyone. For a game that has been out since 2012, someone who hasn't played the game should have enough common sense to think that "maybe going to the forum where people will be talking about the game is probably a bad idea and will spoil things for me."

If it was a brand new game, then yes i could understand asking for a spoiler tag because it's new and many groups of people are getting into it, but at the same time i'd still use enough common sense to, if i don't want something spoiled, not hang around an area where people are talking about it.

Look, many people are new to the game, or even Borderlands series because of Handsome Collection release. Have you not see that he's only level 11 and new to the game? It is you who seems to think the world should revolve around you. No, not everyone knows the ending of a 2012 game out of thousands of games out there. It is you who thinks that people should expect spoilers from the forum. There's a reason why people put (spoiler alert) on their threads.

Now this forum doesn't have a strict spoiler rule but many other RPG game forums, new or old, have it or have a seperate forum for spoiler free forum. It's your freedom to spoil everything but that doesn't stop from making you a disrespectful person.

How very childish of you.
I for one, have beaten both, Borderlands 1 and 2. My statement was for others. Others who may be mid game and joined this discussion on the topic of handsome jack's comedic nature.
You may have and probably did spoil a critical mid game story element.

Some people don't like spoilers. which is why I mentioned it.

and to the games release date. I refer you to Gom's comment. Do you honestly think that everyone follows you, and plays game as you do? so that whatever you say, you can't spoil the story for others?
Everyone moves at their own pace, everyone plays games at their own pace. some people may not have been able to afford Borderlands 2 in 2012. And they now just got it. Your arrogance is truley outstanding "The world doesn't revolve around you...or me, or anyone" I'm sure getting the impression you think it revolves around you.

[Volcanic]

Aah i get so tired of this blame-game nerds have adopted in to their lives.. It is a forum and we are diskussing Handsome Jack´s dialogue, how can you not give away spoilers?

Take a chill-pill got dammmit!

I find it very amusing when he was supposed to "play the violine all sarchasticly and everything" :D Hehe! The best parts is when he goes a little cry baby over stuff. He really is a messed up man in a young boys world of thoughts.

[injected11]

I've gotta admit, I cracked up when he told me what the moral of the story was.

[Justuค็็็็็็็s[FIN]]

IMO when I finished the game first time the end boss fight was so satisfying because of the Jack's dialogue trough the game. He started to get annoying in the good way, so yeah... No spoilers.

[T@F]

He's suppose to be annoying and slightly funny at the same time.
And tbh the devs did a good job on that,as killing him made the game that more sweeter.
