About

All Right, Gentlemen! (also known as "Alright Gentlemen") is an exploitable comic series illustrating three business men's reaction to various proposals. The comic begins with the announcement of a brainstorm session on a videogame-related topic, followed by a panel showing an incomplete idea which is met by unimpressed silence and concludes with a panel depicting a slightly improved version of the previous idea that is met with enthusiasm, similar to the format of Reaction Guys comics. The comics are often used to criticize the business practices of video game and tech companies.

Origin

The exploitable panels come from a comic published on the Livejournal webcomic blog Hiimdaisy[2] on April 6th, 2009. The comic mocks the unoriginality of the boss characters' names “Boss” and “Big Boss" featured in the video game Metal Gear Solid.

You guys gotta remember that some of the greatest entries have been created by brand new members.
Just because something is created by a brand new member, doesn't mean its not legit.

Another thing is, Im definately seeing more and more of this. It has serious potential, however it needs time.

Alright, I don't normally do this but I've replaced all the images with 9gag watermarks with non-watermarked ones because some people can't seem to get over that. I've also completely re-written the entry.
