Well they finally realize that Stef can not be rebrand.

Companies rebrand when they’re losing market share and profits are down. Stefani at present is trundling along enjoying the attention that cheerleading brings and dating a football player. She doesn’t care if her dorm suitemates don’t like her. She’ll only want to rebrand if she runs out of road after college…but that might not happen.

Try skunk.

Quite the phallic image there, Tiffany eating a banana. Surely points to her need for a boyfriend.

And no self-awareness on Tiffany’s part that she was once just like Stefini.

Plus a rebrand is for a Company such as IBM, Stef needs a complete body makeover.

How did this become focused on Stef (irritating though she may be due to her numerous foibles, selfish, vacuous, oblivious et al), when the original conversation, and the immediate need, was and still is to complete a business-class homework assignment?

I think Stef is just so clueless how awful she really is. Maybe her family is the same back home. Maybe nobody ever told her how awful she is. We know Kip doesn’t…because he wants to keep her in his bed. She won’t improve unless people give her tastes of her own medicine. I don’t see her roommates give her doses of her own medicine either. That’s the problem. Everyone enables her to be the awful person she is.

Stef should enjoy herself while she can. Once she gets out of school she won’t be able to trade on her looks anymore unless she becomes a pole dancer.

Meanwhile the girls need to rebrand a company. I know! Coke! They can change the formula, redesign the packaging …. Oh, wait.

I’d love to see that bee-yotch Stef hit rock bottom—just like Ann Eiffel before her!!

Of course, it was the rare occurance of Tiff, Luann, Les, and others working together that finally opened Tiff’s father’s eyes. Maybe Tiff, Bets, and others can do the same with Kip.

That’ll fix Stef’s little red wagon!!

Stef knows how to smile, a rare talent in town. She also flaunts her well tuned body which is like a magnet for the young, male hormones.

Both Bets and Tiff don’t seem happy with their current situations.. so why are they passing judgement on Stef??

Drop the banana, Tiff. We know you’ll be happier with yourself if you were in better shape.

I have a secret suspicion Stef sees herself as “dumb country chick everyone can see came from poverty” but that’s just me

Third Panel also applies to Bets Malone and Tiffany Farrell.

You know what good people do? They sit around trying to come up with ways to fundamentally change the personality of people around them in order to please themselves.

Dunning-Kruger effect. But – why change something that works? If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.

You both decided to keep living with her, so stop complaining.

Well if ‘selfish ditz’ works for Steff just leave her alone. As her looks fade later on she’ll wear thin on everone

Hey, that is so NOT the reason I have a banana every day at lunch!

Words of (lack of) self-awareness from Toxic Bets, and to a certain extent Tiffany.

Uh, I REALLY hate to bring this glaring little “detail” up, but at one time or another, BOTH of you two very lovely ladies have been “Selfish Ditzes.” So don’t go passing judgements, please.

And I’d highly recommend shifting to rebranding one of your guy pals instead.

You remember them?

The kindhearted, soft headed Moes that will DO anything for you?

Just tell them you need it for a passing grade. ;-)

I thought this was about you guys rebranding your image.

This is where Tiff should say “yeah I was once like her, but I learned to be a better person”

With gas, people go into denial.

They’ll get to the point by Saturday (hopefully!)

No childish fart jokes, please.

Steff is what Tiff might have become

You know Tiff, you’ve got that mansion just live there. No one is making stay with Steff if you hate her that much (and I don’t blame you) after all she’s just an overused stereotype that’s been done to death.

Unfortunately they’re right. It’s like body odor, you can smell other people’s but not your own. I also don’t think Stef wants to listen to what other people say. If Tiffany changed it was because she couldn’t adapt to college life and she asked Gunther for help. Bets is not in crisis, nor does she have reasons to change or ask others for help. So, either they discover a secret about her or they have no hope.

I like Stef. She has a libido.I like Bets. She has a libido. Luann, Bernice, (and Gunther)…meh.

It used to totally work for them, too. What changed?

And Tiff, that’s exactly how I’ve branded YOU from the very beginning (though you’ve improved – SOMEWHAT, I must VERY grudgingly admit).

Always good to spend time with two passive aggressive….

That used to be Tiffany’ brand

Does anybody else think that description fits Tiffany from a few years ago?

That symbol on her top isn’t a great brand. Is that an M and a U? I’ve never seen a college logo anything like it.

They need to worry about themselves and not Stef. Yes she needs to tone her ‘brand’ down a bit but she’s happy with her cheerleading and Kip. Bets and Tiff are jealous.

Tiffany forgets that was her ten years ago.

Love the way these two are identifying their own “branding” problems while discussing Stefanie, but this is all really, really boring and it’s only Tuesday. Are they going to sit around gossiping and stinking up the dorm all week?

Arrogance is directly proportional to ignorance

He who smelt it, dealt it.

Obnoxious is the term you’re looking for.

Meanwhile, unkind people badmouth you two.

wait for it … it’s only Tuesday. This could go anywhere

They are perfecting the fine art of procrastination.

It’s explaining the Dunning-Kruger effect.

They sit around thinking up new personalities for Steph because they know they’re not smart enough to commit the perfect murder.

Silent but deadly is the term Tiff.

Forget Stef, she’s a lost cause. Focus on yourselves.

Stef is happy the way she is. She would not be open to any suggestions of changing. Tiffany and Bets should work on improving themselves, they both have lots of room to improve.

Resentment is them drinking poison and waiting for Stef to die.

That is exactly the way Tiffany acted a few years back.

You can’t rebrand someone just to suit your own personal preferences.

Funny…I always thought Stef would have an air about her…ugh.

A corollary of the Dunning-Kruger Effect? One can name a dozen or two prominent politicians who suffer from Stef’s obliviousness or do a wizard job of dissembling.

I have been employed by two companies who rebranded while I was working there. First time was when Intel stopped dropping their e. The only thing it really accomplished? My old Intel toys with the dropped e sold for a nice sum on ebay.

Is it just me or is it getting awfully jealous in here?

One of the things I realy like about this cartoon is that all of the characters are multi-faceted, and have developed over time. Who would have believed that the Tiff of High School days would be able to have this conversation! That was her back then.

“Orr explained with exaggerated patience. ‘How can he see he’s got flies in his eyes if he’s got flies in his eyes?’”
