New Yorker Anti-Caption Contest #416








WINNERS

FIRST PLACE
The arrows here are obscene.--Levon Delight (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Seldom do classic caps take the top spot in this thing of ours – but seldom are they this good. It sounds right and it's remarkably appropriate for the image. Extra credit: Levon Delight sounds like the stage name for a porn star. Nicely done!)
SECOND PLACE
Meanwhile, in Utah....--Austin in PA (JUDGE'S COMMENT: This would appear to be a thinly veiled reference to polygamy which was once popular in Utah. The point is: I got it.)
THIRD PLACE
"Stupid Cupid."--Kathy H (JUDGE'S COMMENT: This links to an old Connie Francis song and offers further proof that Kathy searches relentlessly for something to link to. Her efforts should be rewarded and encouraged.)
HONORABLE MENTIONS
"Last thing I remembered ... I hit CTRL + arrow ... Fucking computer!"-- Dr Sumguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: When you think about it, the true humor value here comes from the “Fucking computer” part. You know...because when you hit the wrong key combo you get fucked. We've all been there.)
"I decided to start judging again before they put another one in me."

--Jim Cavanaugh (JUDGE'S COMMENT: It is the self-inflicted arrows that hurt the most–any neurotic will tell you that.)

"He only showed up to semi-judge a contest so that he could make a comment about Dylan's Super Bowl ad. Oh, and he shot me."--NJ-to-TX (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Allow me to evoke some lyrics from the 1997 Dylan masterpiece “Cold Irons Bound”:

The walls of pride are high and wide
Can’t see over to the other side
It’s such a sad thing to see beauty decay
It’s sadder still to feel your heart torn away.)

(in cartoons the person on the left always speaks first (except in Isreal) ... Did the chest pain start before or after your purchase of the 'Pierce-Arrow'?

I don't have anything against him Doc, but I'm just not attracted to gay dating service Cupid hitmen.

Can you not see the arrows? It's NOT my fucking imagination. I'm suing the paramedics who brought me here.

Puffin said...

"No matter how hard he tries, nothing can change the fact that his first shot made me fall madly in love with Boris,the neighbour's pet pig."

Tim H said...

"Like I always say, 'Arrows by any other name...'"

Kathy H said...

"I agree. Sometimes an arrow is just an arrow."

"...and you don't want to know where he stuck the bow."

boneguy said...

You needed 8 years of post graduate training to realize that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday?

Anonymous said...

"I wouldn't change his poopy diaper."

reid savid said...

"Peeing on her just makes me really uncomfortable."

Unknown said...

But if the arrow is straight and the point is slick
It can pierce through dust no matter how thick
So I'll make my stand and remain as I am
And bid farewell and not give a damn

"See? Cupid's a douche"

Satireguy said...

"The little prick couldn't take 'yes' for an answer."
