Bonus Caption Contest: What are they saying to each other??

new yorker   


















Note: This cover from the New Yorker was posted here, but due to a technical glitch, had to be deleted and re-posted. [I don't want to discuss it.]  In the brief time it was up, it drew several comments. So, since the NYer is on hiatus, consider this fodder for an Anti-Caption contest. What are Burt and Ernie saying to each other? Or, if you prefer,enter a narrative cap that would be suitable for a newspaper. Feel free to be gross, wield or stupid -- but try and be clever.  




WINNERS

FIRST PLACE
Remember when we first dated and I would fuck the stuffing out of you?--boneguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Muppets don't really have stuffing, but they do have needs. This image reminds us of that.)

SECOND PLACE
"Will you do sodomy with me now?" -- NJ-to-TX (JUDGE'S COMMENT: You can just hear the response: “No. But I will do sodomy TO you, little buddy.”)

THIRD PLACE
"No thanks, Bert. I'm stuffed."--pg13 (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Everyone seems to assume Bert pitches and Ernie catches--why?)
HONORABLE MENTIONS
Enough with this shit. Change the channel to "Behind the Candelabra".--boneguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: A reference to an HBO movie that many gays hated because Liberace was portrayed as he was: narcissistic, manipulative and very creepy. Not exactly a revered figure in the community.)
"Lay, Ernie, lay, lay across Bert's 'big brass bed'..."--pg13 (JUDGE'S COMMENT: “Why wait any longer for the muppet you love...?”)

"Our donation buys the Supreme Court's vote on the issue of our choice? This is the best PBS pledge drive ever!"

"The allegations can't be true. Why would Kevin Clash want to put his hand anywhere but up Elmo?"

"Forty years on the show and countless Emmys, and we can't even afford a new TV or wardrobe. I told you we should have joined SAG-AFTRA."

I swear to God, Bert. I got super drunk in college and ended up giving Scalia a blow job.

Bert and Ernie find Scalia's dissent a bit "wield"

Tell me, Bert, if those four dissenting justices really hate sodomy, then why do they have their heads so far up their asses?

Angus Podgorny said...

It's time to put on a rubber, ducky, and express your love in Ernest.
