...that I can turn into a short stop-motion animation for a work presentation I need to do in a week or so.

Ideally, something with a Star Wars character or two or one or two of Giger's aliens or some modern-ish soldiers (or some combo I can shoehorn together), as those are the figure models available for me to work with.

I'm thinking something Robot Chicken-ish, but short and amusing yet not offensive. (yeah, I know).

You were trolled too easily. Obviously, due to your fragile state, I'll let this one slide. There's a PBF hate thread in the comics forum. I was just fucking with you.

As for OP, I suggest taking some panels from the most recent CAD comics. They deal with miscarriages. Making something funny out of that will give you personal glee. Trust me. But that, also, on it's own, is not funny.

PBF comics is funny.

No one can trust a man on a gaming forum that doesn't play games.

Also, stop trying to state lies as fact. You're killing me here. There are 1, maybe 2, funny PBF comics. One involves a weaboo. And depending on how far the third moon of Xatlu IV is from Tyquando, another involves Little Mac getting punched right in the gob by the Earth.

That is fact. As such:

Some PBF comics are funny. Where "some" equals "2."

Meanwhile, the rest are overrated, badly drawn trashticles.

But then, funny is also a sliding scale. For example, if I were homeless, watching someone's house burn down while they were trapped inside would probably be funny to me. Very funny. Especially if it was the guy who made me homeless and I didn't start the fire. In fact, that's the basis of The Sims right? Obviously funny. Now, PBF comics, you'd have to be in quite the state for it to be funny. I'd have to be doped up with all sorts of happy pills to find it funny. it's not that my bar for 'funny' is higher. I laugh at dick and fart jokes. It's just fact that PBF, as a comic, is not funny. It's sandwiched firmly between White Ninja and Mary Worth. Mary Worth being the "funniest" of the 3. Once again, sliding scale.

Blerg, read the next few comics on that.  I hate it when web comics make attempts to be serious.  There really really bad at it.

I was going to suggest XKCD, but I wasn't sure how well it would translate into a physical medium.

Ctrl+Alt+Del is golden most of the time, I personally prefer it to Penny Arcade.

XKCD is funny when the author is not being fucking weird about girls.

The models from Terror Island are easily reproducible, and the comic is generally inoffensive.  Funny if you like jokes about philosophy, math, and groceries.

Alien Loves Predator might work, too.  It's got one of your model requirements in it.

Seriously, you never played where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Also, hard to find a comic that meets his "work safe" requirement.

I played them both, it's still barely funny. The bobcat one was actually funnier.

Binary is not any more or less expressive than base 10. A "binary fraction" is not different from a normal fraction. What the author means here is a fraction in the form of x/2^n, AKA a fraction with a power of 2 denominator.

Math nerd humor fails when the math is wrong.

Also Carmen Sandiego is too hot to settle for Waldo.

 ACK! Stop!

Also if you want a challenge Dresden Codak has got a few comics that might translate well into animation. Bit big for a direct link
