Most of them.  That's why I'm so fond of the "random" button.  I'm rarely disappointed!

Don't remember the number, but a "for fun" strip that has random stuff in it; Pintsize and Winslow drawn as if a 3 year old drew it, Dora, Penelope and Faye at the beach, and the last panel's darkened and Marty's like, "Dora, what are you-OH GOD!"

The one where Faye tells off the snobby CD store clerk never gets old.

Marten breaking up Pintsize's unauthorized AnthroPC party.  There's just something hilarious about little robots saying "Fuck tha police!"  and "Total sausage fest."

Marten explaining why he couldn't see himself having sex with a guy.

The boner shark one, especially Penelope's "oh God what now" stare in the last panel.

And finally, the recent strip where Marten tells Maurice he's going to call him "Dad Two:  Dad Harder."

Marten's line in panel 4 of #351 is always hilarious, but I think it might only really work if you've rad Dune beforehand.

Number 778 makes me laugh. I always think "who the fuck is Martina Mavratilova-- Martina Mavratilová's diacritically-challenged friend?". Yes, diacritics are that important to me, particularly when it changes both the meaning and pronunciation of the word.

Yes, diacritics are that important to me, particularly when it changes both the meaning and pronunciation of the word.

Pretty sure that it doesn't matter considering it's not even in the right alphabet, you could probably figure out the pronunciation given the context, and that the meaning is simply "Woman of the Mavratilovs."[sic]  Don't read any Russian books if they are that important to you in comprehending words or names, you'll be disappointed. Czech letters I am sure are key to pronunciation, but understanding? In this case, I'm not so sure.

Additionally, if the strip that makes you laugh the most only does so as a result of some weird pleasure over your own pedantry, you may need to reexamine your reasons for reading the comic.

ETA:  Also, Wikipedia tells me you missed one.  Apparently they're not that important.  

ETAA: I'm really not a bad guy.

Another one - the "wall of text" that Jeph finds annoying is one of the best character development bits I've ever seen, the fisheye perspective shots are excellent, and the answer in the last panel is so typical, it's priceless! 

But what makes me giggle every time is her last thought...

But what makes me giggle every time is the last thought...

Jeph might want to go back and fix up that panel: on re-reading it I've found four spelling mistakes, "unvierses", "tens" (in context should be "tends"), "envirto..." is probably the start of "environmental", and "Tuskeegee" (which I Googled because I'd never heard of it) is spelled "Tuskegee".

Also panel 2 makes more sense if you remove the spurious "and" from between "change"and "makes" in the phrase "whether the distribution of US bills and change and makes certain types of number more or less likely to occur in a random tip sampling".

But yes, hilarious strip!

The Theory of Hipster Relativity!

According to hipster theory, the more obscure a band is the better its music will be.

It follows, then that a band which absolutely no one has heard of would make the best music ever!

If no one has heard of a band, it effectively does not exist.

Ergo, the best band in the world is nonexistant!
