[[Jumping the shark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_the_shark)]]

Now I'm thinking that XKCD needs to have a [[Very Special Episode (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_special_episode)]].

It has them. But because it's XKCD they're about Debian crypto bugs and the Large Hadron Collider.

Point.

There was the voting machines cartoon. That was pretty relevant. (Does it also count if it's funny?)

It's funny, jumping the shark seems to be the slowest spreading meme, or something. Lots of memes just stay confined to subcultures. But I'd never heard of jumping the shark until I read it in a comic years ago, but it's plainly going on spreading, but not yet turned into just a normal piece of language.

Yes, I only found out about it this year.
