Let's Win the New Yorker Caption Contest

yeah the horse talking makes it almost inscrutable. i'd go non sequitur:
"Giddyap!"

"I should have quit while I was a head!!!!"

or "I think I'll quit as I'm a head" but yeah.

This contest is basically the NY'er's rejected cartoon depot, isn't it.

neigh!

you two see if you can find some body, i'll go on a head

yukky puns kind of don't fit the NYer's style. I think I said that upthread.

Let's win the National Review Caption Contest:

"These PETA idiots ruin EVERYTHING!"

"The best part is him whipping himself for a change."

all day i can't turn round without being bothered by some horses's ass, but the one time i need one....

ah! got it:
"Well somebody certainly doped ONE of us."

"he's dying to win so he can be put out to stud."

damn poles coming over here and takin our jobs

lol darragh

If "The Monkeys You Ordered" website doesn't have "THAT'S TED" as a caption, I will want to know why!

"This is normal."

"In summation, not all ideas are worth having. Thank you."

"So I had a TWO billion dollar idea -- iSpanx"

New Yorker-y unfunny style: "And that's the wrong slide."

"J'ACCUSE!"

^winner

"here is the cartoon and caption i submitted to the new yorker. they ... did not accept it."

"I think we've all learned something here today."

"observe how remarkably flexible my neck is."

"This concludes the sissymanwhore presentation. Any questions?"

oh, just got one:
"Admittedly, we still have some kinks to work out of the presentation."

another not-funny image

"More like TEDDY Talk, amirite"

"more like ASSCHEEKS worth spreading, amirite"

"And now I will explain how to tie a corset."

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.

forks that is a winning caption

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 he's the bad twin"

"Father, Ted"

"You don't know what pain is!"

IRL LOL

"Wilkommen, bienvenue, welcome!"

I went for "... and This is Me!"

"There seems to be a mistake with my slides. My name is Dave, not Ted."

"no, YOU the man"

"My name is Jeff Mitchell and i live in Rugby, Warwickshire, UK. I like fucking different objects and wearing womens underwear and i love showing the pictures off."

"Perry Farrell made me admit it. Nothing's shocking."

"I'm terribly sorry; this was supposed to be the Backwards Tuck slide, not the Left Leg Conceal."

"In summation, not all ideas are worth having. Thank you."

new yorker readers know what TED is!

"This is a picture of a TEDdy bear."

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

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

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