I've noticed that the contest ones are almost always "Look at this outrageous juxtaposition!" in a way that kind of precludes any actually funny captions.

this guy's a gangsta? his real name's mittens. (Hurting 2), Monday, 21 May 2012 18:14 (fourteen years ago)

half of the people who look at this will have no idea what TED is, which is a bummer, because it precludes all TEDxxx genre captions

"... and this is how you smize."

Pot Leeedom (Leee), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 02:36 (fourteen years ago)

tbh the most scandalous thing about that cartoon is that the guy's using a Mac SE.

Pot Leeedom (Leee), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 02:37 (fourteen years ago)

Or in caption form, "I am trying very hard to distract you from the Mac SE I'm using."

Pot Leeedom (Leee), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 02:50 (fourteen years ago)

haha, I was going to post the same thing but I couldn't remember what those macs were called
