New Yorker Anti-Caption Contest #450







WINNERS

FIRST PLACE
"It was the black guy's idea"--Anonymous (JUDGE'S COMMENT: There may or may not be a black guy swayin' to the rhythm, but this works because blame-the-black-guy is a well established strategy. )

SECOND PLACE
"I move we approve the minuets."--Greenie Stik-M-Caps (JUDGE'S COMMENT: One of the best puns ever seen in this contest which, we can all agree, is like being the tallest midget or the least smelly dung heap.)

THIRD PLACE
"Well, Obama promised cha-cha-cha-change."--Dex (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Barry don't dance. Barry don't have to dance. Six years later this still engenders contempt among many Americans.)

HONORABLE MENTIONS
"All the guys are pretending to be Deney Terrio and all the girls are pretending to be Motion."--Kathy H (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Leave it to Kathy Link-a-lot to drum up an obscure reference that creates an awkward silence followed by a polite chuckle. That IS what you were shooting for—right? )

"Hey Al, if the anti cap is such a drag, how about a quick comment on my boogaloo?"--Anonymous (JUDGE'S COMMENT: The amateurish gyrations of your profoundly unappealing derrière recall the gruesome spectacle of two frightened piglets frantically scurrying to escape a cauldron of boiling water. If there is one redeeming factor to be salvaged from this grotesque display, it is that there were, thankfully, no black people around to see it.)

"It's always cause for celebration when al judges a contest."--Anonymous (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Celebrate the joy you bring to complete strangers who give not one shit about you, my anonymous friend.)

RIP, Tom Magliozzi, who's laugh brought the world to it's rightful humorous knees.--Anonymous (JUDGE'S COMMENT: So it's Saturday morning and I'm trying to tune in a station on the kitchen radio. I have don't have much time because I got stuff on the burner. Every thing is static but I finally get NPR. Fine, I'm thinking, I can always listen to NPR. But then as I move toward the stove and resume cooking I realize what I'm listening to is “Car Talk.” This annoyed me. I actually took a second to wonder who the fuck would listen to a radio show discussing car repairs and why the fuck does NPR insist on airing this crap. It was probably the only time I ever gave “Car Talk” more than five seconds worth or thought. I mention this because, out of curiosity, I Googled “Tom Magliozzi.” Turns out he was one of those “Car Talk” geeks. He died. Kind of a spooky, is all I'm saying.)
