"I must find the tree that killed my father.""That one was asking for it.""I came, I sawed, I conquered."
"That one was asking for it."
"I came, I sawed, I conquered."
All those 'finalists' are rub.

'I must find the tree that killed my father' isn't too bad imo, just made worse by context

Though "There's no cooking in baseball" is a close second for the outdated reference/bone dry 'humor' combo

― thomp, Tuesday, 30 August 2011 09:28 (twelve years ago) link
Mark I agree but it's not quite "New Yorker" enough (nor is their third option). It's more like... actual comedy. I'd expect the gluten-free joke to win. As I've said before, the ultimate New Yorker cartoon caption (invented by me) is "I'm tired of not having balsamic vinegar".

Before they ever had the caption contest, I came up with a New Yorker cartoon that would show two well-dressed women talking to each other at an art gallery, and one is saying to the other "My masseuse is out of champagne"
I think that could also be the ultimate caption contest caption
