It's nothing personal, I just despise xkcd. Let's step outside our little aspie corner of the Internet and consider: if there was a comic by an accountant and every strip was some hackneyed, unfunny joke about the obscure technicalities of tax law, we'd hate those people, right? We'd correctly identify them as social retards. We'd realize their "humor" was nothing but a defense mechanism against their social ineptitude; a desperate cry for help from people who had never touched a vagina.
And it's not just the fact that xkcd is painfully unfunny garbage. For example, I really like Seinfeld but have you ever met someone who insists on drawing parallels between everything that happens to them and some episode of the show? "OMG, it was just like the time George..." Imagine what kind of monster would do something like that. That's what you are doing when you desperately cram xkcd down our throats at every opportunity. "Oh goodie, a post where somebody used the word 'random'; time for me to whip out old #221!" "SQL injection? Why, I bet these fair chaps have never been introduced to the comic stylings of Randall Munroe and his fabulous Bobby Tables character!"
Worst of all, even if xkcd was funny (and I assure you, it's not) it doesn't make you funny to bring it up. Only in very rare, rare circumstances is it actually as funny or charming as you think it is to reference somebody else's joke; and then only because your new joke gave a different twist to the original. Humor is about the unexpected, not the banal. Repeating the same joke over and over again isn't unexpected, it's annoying.
In real life you can stab the wayward Seinfeld fan in the eye with a fork (similar to Season 8, Episode 10 The Andrea Dorea where Elaine is dating the guy who keeps getting stabbed by women because he's a "bad breaker upper"). Unfortunately I am unable to stab you in the eye with a fork so I must rely on verbal attacks. I know it hurts but it's the only way the Internet will be cleansed. I know you understand.
