Today's:
http://xkcd.com/380/
I actually looked up what U+FDD0 was in the unicode charts. Now I don't
know whether to hang my head in shame, or hold it high and proud.

Sorry, you lost me totally here. I don't seem to understand this
emoticon.png nor see I any connection to U+FDD0.

Hover your mouse over the comic.
Though admittedly, I don't understand the joke either...

It's in the alt text, and it's a Harry Potter reference.

I see it now, and it begins to make sense. Yet, I am starting to feel
quite old. I found most of the xkcd and bash references posted recently
not funny at all, not even for a brief smile actually. So I assume I
have lost all my connections to the real world of young people. :(

"Real world" and "bash.org" in the same sentence... advanced!

Wow, that's allot to do to get the joke.
1) Read the comic, don't understand.
2) Hover to read the ALT text, as Jim pointed out.
3) View properties because ALT text is too damn long.
4) Google basilisk.
5) Read Wikipedia article about basilisk.
6) Make the connections to the comic in my mind.
7) Realize I just wasted a few more minutes of my life figuring out a comic that is
not funny.

Yeah, it's not terribly amusing this time around. Some are, some aren't.
[I can, however, guarantee that every single comment generates at least
one "OMG, best xkcd ever!!!eleven!" comment in the forums.]

Well, I do know what a basilisk is, and by the most amazing coincidence,
I get the joke now. What's more, I even find it to be somewhat funny,
but I think it'd have been funnier if the person had turned to stone as a
result.
