Let's Win the New Yorker Caption Contest

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."

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

"It's called the 'treasure trail' because it leads you to my million dollar idea"

"I got my father's hairline and my mother's sense of the spiritual in everyday things."

"I always wanted to be... a lumberjack!"

"This is the uniform of posthumanism I bid you wear to accelerate the singularity"

xxp lol

The realities of the EU Structural Fund.

"I think we could have made better use of this Homeland Security grant"

"They cam over 'ere, stealin' our coconats"

"at least we know know why it's called 'atoll'"

"okay, let's feel down the back of the seat one more time."

"I came here for the schools........ of fish!!!!!!!"

darragh FTW

"The exclusivity is top notch, the golf less so."

"Hey, maybe we should just ask the toll guard for a lift back home."

darragh FTW

i prefer the eu one but i think y'all prefer the atoll one, right?

yes.

you say that now, but if it wins you'll all claim to prefer the earlier work imo

yes

the atoll one was good but I stand by my belief that puns do not win

otm imo
