New Yorker Anti-Caption Contest #378


















WINNERS

FIRST PLACE
'And so the bunny says to the bartender ... "Would you get this guy off my ass" ... HARR ... HARR ... HARR !--Dr Sumguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: And if the bunny's owner brought him to a salon so they could both get waxed for bikini season, he might say “Get the hair off my ass...and get this ass off  my hare!” Also that IS the way pirates laugh. )
SECOND PLACE
"Look, I invented toilet paper!"--Anonymous (JUDGE'S COMMENT: There's no arguing the logic but the visual I could live without. I guess we can safely assume the porcupine was a non-starter.)
THIRD PLACE
"Dinner's on me."--NAMBY (JUDGE'S COMMENT: And it will probably taste just like chicken. This is also something you say to break the tension when you spill food on yourself. Don't ask me how I know that.)
HONORABLE MENTIONS
"The sea is lonely, and...Hare, she blows."--Anonymous (JUDGE'S COMMENT: So begins a string of puns as deep as a mud puddle. This is the best because it implies a lonely sailor has found a rabbit that knows how to play ball.)


"All the best pirates have shoulder-length hair"--Anonymous (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Very terrible. This would have worked better if it said “hare” but it didn't. )
"Where are my 'Buccaneers'? ... Under my 'Fuccan Hat'!"--Dr Sumguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Good. You found your ears. This works a little bit if you assume the captain is a simpleton. )
"Waiter, there's a hare on my shoulder."--Anonymouse (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Would have worked better if he was asking, “What's this hare doing on my shoulder?” To which the waiter could say: “The back flip” or, more Anit-Cap, “Making me crazy with desire.”)
"Shut up, Bob, my hare is NOT a clip-on. But my hair is."--Shelly (JUDGE'S COMMENT: A nod to a classic. Okay, here's mine: “Shut up, Bob, everyone knows your hare is a hop on.” Admit that that's better.)
"Somali, you crazy bastard! How are you?"--

Jim Cavanaugh (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Just terrible but the reference checks out)
"I traded in me parrot for a rabbit-at-at-at-at-at-at. You ought to know by now."--Billy Joel (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Our first ever B.J. caption. He's good, but no Dylan. Not even close.)
♪ ♫ ♫ I'm just wild about Harey, and he's just wild about me! ♫ ♫--Kathy H (JUDGE'S COMMENT: The musical notes give this some props but otherwise it's awful. What saddens me is that I'm reasonably sure that Kathy knew that before submitting it. )
"I'm looking for the Bush Libary. He left out an arrrgh."
--
Jim Cavanaugh (JUDGE'S COMMENT: If he is saying this out loud, how do you spot the spelling error? Bush had much in common with a pirate, and not just because they finished 18 games out of first in the NL Central last year. )
"Everybody keeps saying I should call him Revis, but I don't know why."--Tim H (JUDGE'S COMMENT: A reference to the recently traded football star who was dispatched by the Jets to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If he demands more money and then gets hurt climbing on to the boat, we'll know it's our Darrelle.)


"A hundred years from now some Jew will be wearing a pirate shirt."--Anonymous (JUDGE'S COMMENT: A Seinfeld reference, esoteric but bland, yada, yada.)
It may look funny but if this is what it takes to get an HOV sticker, so be it!--boneguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Sucks on several levels. Because so many people got them, the stricker is now essentially worthless in the L.A. area. For scamming the car pool lane, an inflatible lovemate wearing sunglasses is far more practical.)
Cox Cable has pissed me off for the last time.--boneguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Too horrible to be ignored. If rabbit ears are your only alternative, Cox will continue to screw you. On this I have done the rearch. )
"It's just a little something to cheer up my passengers on the Staten Island Ferry."--Tim H (JUDGE'S COMMENT: I took the S.I. ferry to work everyday for 20 years. A pirate with a bunny on his shoulder would just annoy people, especially in the morning.)
"Not only can't the sonofabitch come up with a caption, he can't draw either."--Satireguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Claw your way through the broken english, and there us a truth to be found here.)
What do you mean he must be able to quote Dylan or he can't come aboard?--boneguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: I asked the captain what his name was
And how come he didn't drive a truck
He said his name was Columbus
I just said, "Good luck")

Be this the right place for Anti-Cap'n?--Angus Podgorny (JUDGE'S COMMENT: It's definitely the place, But, as always, that doesn't make it right.)
