This is a normal post Am I the only person who finds XKCD tries too hard?
I have no love for it.

This is a normal post A few people don't like it, because it's pretentious/smug.
Personally I like it, but I think I am also both of those things.

This is a normal post I'm not sure you could accuse it of either
Pretty sure that if you're seeing pretentiousness or smugness there, then you brought that to the party all on your own.

This is a normal post I am not sure if I think it is pretentious
I think it is great that people are getting exposed to some interesting concepts - but it seems like the kind of output you would create if you were tasked with trying to amuse smart people with your amazing wikipedia mining skills every other weekday.

This is a normal post The one thing I ever liked was the use of alt text on every comic.

This is a normal post It's at least worth the time it takes to read. [NSFW]
but the GoatKCD parody site (which is identical to xkcd except for the final panel being replaced by a line drawing of goatse) is often funner than the original.

For example. Start at today's (which doesn't really work), and work backwards. I think you'll agree it has a surprising hit-ratio.

(NSFW for line drawing of goatse)

This is a normal post It's "ha, I understand that joke/scientific reference" humour
rather than actual jokes.
