Let's Win the New Yorker Caption Contest

what a terrifically uninteresting and badly drawn cartoon. Maybe you could make some reference to how weird everyone's eyes are, i dunno.

or the fact that that room would have to have at least five walls

"Why is your diploma all blurry? Anyway, your couch is here."

"One of these delivery men has a cleverly disguised penis and testes on his face. See if you can guess which one!"

"couch? couch couch couch couch! couch couch."

"I'm sorry the cartoonist doesn't know how to handle eyelines, but I am actually talking to you, not over you."

"the way you have your desklamp and phone arranged on your desk is very strange"

"FLASH! duh-duh-duh-duh-AA-AAAAH! Savior of the universe!"

"Your Landlines is looking so good I thought I'd bring you another inspiring object, Mr. Lasseter."

"I've brought the prayer mat, Ayatollah, now what?"

"My childhood, Dr Evil, is quite inconsequential. Summers in Rangoon, a furniture business in Queens..."

"The immersion treatment is really helping with my fear of public incontinence. "

That drawing is just so painfully unfunny.

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

"I would have something funny to say about this very interesting situation if it weren't for the fact that in my view it's a very dull and unfunny situation."

"We were halfway down 6th Avenue when I realized I'd left my Bic biro."

"What makes you think I'm desperate for the part?"

I just checked the rules, apparently entries from the UK are allowed, and are allowed to win if.

Then again, I've yet to see any finalists from outside the US/Canada. Or funny.

"Here's the sofa I still hide behind whenever the Daleks are on Doctor Who."
