I always wondered how many people entered. Sometimes the finalists are so weak I assumed like, 6 people entered. My god some of those submissions are not funny.
I mean the ones copied above, not the ones currently being submitted by ILXors. Those are all comedy gold.

The "Let's Win the New Yorker Caption Contest" Poll: Week 1
D'oh!
Well to sum it up, Roberto Spiralli won, but in typical ILX fashion, there were concerns about bestiality. That made your caption the choice for entry. But then, I'm pretty sure no one ever entered it, because I stupidly assumed that you had seen the poll.

lol after seeing the controversy over emphasized words in a caption I have to rethink
― sorry i poisoned u with nachos :( (HI DERE), Monday, 15 June 2009 20:10 (3 years ago) Permalink
There really wasn't any controversy, it was just me worrying over nothing, as usual. Although I still do think that an entry with no emphasized words, all else equal, will probably do better.

"Mistakes were made" is one of those universal captions that's surprisingly funny with about 80% of visual gags. Like the jet wearing stilettos upthread: "Mistakes were made."
