Caption Contest

[UniBrier]

Well, my latest attempt to inject some humor into RSU (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61384) went over like a lead balloon (or is that a led zeppelin?). Hope the JC bunch doesn't feel the same.


One of the local papers runs a Caption Contest.

Here's my submission for this one:
Actually, he never clowned once in his entire life. But, after the funeral home found out he was an avid unicyclist, they just couldn’t resist…
What's yours?

[habbywall]

I saw it in RSU, even came up with an almost funny caption. But I didn't post it and then forgot it.

[MuniAddict]

"Now that's he's dead, we can finally be together...and the best news is that you can use some of the insurance money for that BOOB LIFT!" (See cartoon above haha!)

[JJtheunicycle]

well, no one would get it but "he should'nt gone for level 11"

[dudewithasock]

My submission:

He just sat at the computer all day, reading unispin tutorials...if only he had actually gone and practiced them.

[mill_mobile]

Well, we did try to tell him not to ride in those big shoes. Guess he just didnt listen.

[wickedbob]

Big feet big!.....

[monkeyman]

"You doin' anything later?"

[MuniAddict]

"Honk" (his nose) if you're horny!

[wickedbob]

Is that a banana is his pocket?

[MuniAddict]

That's not really a fake nose...he just had a drinking problem!:D:D:D:D:D (There's your definitive right there!!!)

He was a bit nearsighted. Couldn't tell the difference between "MEN'S ROOM" and "LION'S CAGE".

Whoa, and they still managed an open casket funeral after that?

[MuniAddict]

Haha!

[UniBrier]

That last one made me LOL.

The results so far for the captions:

Unicycle related: 4
Sexual Innuendo: 6
Unicycle related sexual innuendo: 1
Other: 2

There seems to be a pattern developing here.

[mill_mobile]

Haha!
Thats the best one so far:)
EDIT: i mean the caption, not haha.

[MuniAddict]

Thats the best one so far:)
EDIT: i mean the caption, not haha.Thanks.:) Ok somebody bring on the next picture!

[uni57]

He was playing tag with the tightrope walker... and fell off.

[uni57]

He was playing hide-and-seek under the elephant. And it sat down.

[MuniAddict]

He always wanted to be buried with a big ballon, so why don't we give him this big white one floating above our heads! :D

[uni57]

He shouldn't have made fun of the knife thrower.

[UniBrier]

My non-unicycling entry:

He never made the connection when the program listed "Send In The Clowns" followed by "Entry Of The Gladiators".

[MuniAddict]

He's not clowning around anymore!

[UniBrier]

Clowns to the left of me, Joker to the right, here I am stuck in the middle with you.You really need to submit that one to the newspaper. With Steve Miller's Seattle connection you may win. (Where did it go?)

[MuniAddict]

You really need to submit that one to the newspaper. With Steve Miller's Seattle connection you may win.Which one?

[uni57]

He was playing tag with the tightrope walker... and fell off.I humbly vote for this one as the best. It has a surprise twist at the end. A punchline in three words. It's short. It conjures up a simple image and is suitable for all ages. You can't beat it. Send it in. This thread is now concluded.

[Uniman_3]

Mr.Clinton had this clown assinated when his secretary told him that his feet were smaller than the clowns.....

[MuniAddict]

"Clown to the left of me, joker to the right, here I am...stuck in the middle with you!" :D But my favs (mine haha!) are: "that's not a fake nose, he just had a drinking problem". And, The one about "drilling a hole in the casket", and "honk if you're horny".

[MuniAddict]

I humbly vote for this one as the best. It has a surprise twist at the end. A punchline in three words. It's short. It conjures up a simple image and is suitable for all ages. You can't beat it. Send it in. This thread is now concluded. Hmmm, that one didn't do it for me.:(

[john_childs]

Isn't it rich? Aren't we a pair?
Me here at last in the air, and Bo in the ground.
Send out the clown.

[uni57]

Hmmm, that one didn't do it for me.:(Oh. Maybe it wasn't suitable for all ages...

[MuniAddict]

"it's going to take a big man to fill his shoes...but where are we gonna find a guy who wears a size 37?"

[MuniAddict]

Oh. Maybe it wasn't suitable for all ages...The first rule of comedy...don't dumb down a joke! Of course, you have to have one first!;)

[UniBrier]

I bet that's the last time they send in a City Clown to fill in for a Rodeo Clown.

[MuniAddict]

I think for a Quick caption that gets to the point fast, this is IT!

+! :)

Maybe it's actually Dick in the box (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dmVU08zVpA). Just wrap the coffin as a gift box and there you go.

[MuniAddict]

I cracked up so hard when I came up with this!:D
Although it wouldn't fit in the caption, the part before that could be: "Ok howabout this for the opening eulogy"?

[MuniAddict]

I know the police and reporters want to ask questions, but we can't have them all come in here now...it would be a "circus!":D

[MuniAddict]

I got a million of 'em!:D

[wickedbob]

I told you Helen clowns can not take that much morphine....

[dan de man]

the funny thing is if rigor mortis had set in he really would have been

"stiffie the clown"

A Tiskit a Tasket a dead clown in a casket.

This one probably shouldn't have made me laugh as hard as I did. That was REALLY funny in my opinion. This is a funny thread.

[monkeyman]

My non-unicycling entry:

Best one so far! :D:D:D

[BirdFrenzy]

"He's gone to a better place. Maybe he will finally find his other wheel."

[MuniAddict]

Good ol' "Corpsi" the clown; his name will live on!

[Victory]

Actually, he never clowned once in his entire life. But, after the funeral home found out he was an avid unicyclist, they just couldn’t resist…

I find this one the best.. as every one who rides can relate.

[UniBrier]

I liked my first two the best too.

A couple more:

"That's the life of a clown. One day you're squirting daisies (http://www.prankplace.com/fun_squirtflower.htm), the next you're pushing up daisies."

and

"He just looks so natural..."

[UniBrier]

I submitted my five and one of yours and still didn't win.

The winner: (http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/319121_focus10.html)

[dudewithasock]

Laaaaame. That one's not even that funny.

[MuniAddict]

I submitted my five and one of yours and still didn't win.

The winner: (http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/319121_focus10.html)Yeah that sucked big top!...I mean big time!

Yeah, that one sucks big time.
The judges must have a bad sense of humour.

[uni57]

The winner: (http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/319121_focus10.html)I read that caption BEFORE noticing it said "the winner" and thought "BRILLIANT! That's the one!"

Of course that would be my favorite... MuniAddict doesn't like it.

[john_childs]

Judging the entries for a caption contest has got to be one of the worst jobs. All the bad entries (and there are more than plenty of them) would just numb the mind. In the end the entire process would be uninteresting and unfun. No wonder why some poor entries end up winning.
