vlor, yours was still the only one that was actually funny

Lol, thanks. I dunno though, some of them, including the Grand Prize winner, I found to be pretty funny. There were some others though that either tried making elaborate stories with theirs or just really bad jokes and I /facepalmed.

Most of them bore a striking resemblance to those chain email jokes your grandmother sends to that might have been amusing 15 years ago.

Maybe.

Those all seemed pretty bland to me, and that fourth one was just horrid.

There should have been a word limit...

I am glad that one of the funnier ones actually won. I think the problem was the voting system they used - since entries were posted in the order created, and not all at once, some of the best ones that were posted in the middle got lost in the shuffle, and some funny ones that were posted near the end of the thread never even got viewed, let alone voted upon. A more fair way to do things is to have everyone submit entries and them post them all at once, in a randomized order.

The rules for the contest didn't make sense. I was under the impression that the captions were supposed to be funny.

I didn't know about the contest until now. Would somebody please post a link to the thread that shows all the entries?

My entry would have been:

Shinryu and Partner

The second oddest love connection from Dancing with the Stars.

After the deadline for receiving votes was over, they removed that thread from public view. If they do it like how they've done their fanart contests, I'm sure before too long they'll have a gallery of some sort showing all the other entries.

The actual winner was okay, but the only one I ever laughed at was lolgaxe's.
