"Ok...I'll put down "Claws". And what you describe as your greatest weakness?"

"I'll wring your neck if one of these bastards publishes before I do"

^^^hahaha xp

xpost to "claws"

schwantzs wifes one is hilarious

"They look more like her but they take after me."

― special guest appearance (Roberto Spiralli), Wednesday, June 10, 2009 1:54 PM (46 minutes ago)

this is genius and will get my vote

^^^

also massive lolz at "claws"

(btw, I am very mad that "LET'S START IT OFF WITH A BRIEF REVIEW OF YOUR LOCAL MIDLIFE CRISIS. WE'LL THEN DISCUSS THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS." is too long to be a screen name)

(anyway back to the picture)

"Okay, NOW they're just mocking us."

"And the best part is, we pay them in cheese."

"this acid is strong"

^ works for 99% of all new yorker cartoons

"I'm not sure their hearts are really in this better-mousetrap project."

"I know they have a grant, but do we really need more ways to skin a cat?"

"I was expecting Soulja Boy to have a different effect on them."

I always wondered how many people entered. Sometimes the finalists are so weak I assumed like, 6 people entered. My god some of those submissions are not funny.

I mean the ones copied above, not the ones currently being submitted by ILXors. Those are all comedy gold.

I like fork's "I think it's meant to be the one on the right's retirement party."

"The one in glasses is not 'the cute one'."

"auto-tune is dead"

I wonder how many times we'll have to do this until we get an ILX winner?
My money is over five, under twenty.

We should enter as Isaac L. Xevious

"I see your mice have little clothes."

"These mice are different from the mice behind us; these mice have facial features."

"Are mice very much like people?"

"I am mildly disconcerted; apparently, I am carrying a water bottle."

"Did you know? I can spit the words 'PAUL NOTH' across the room."

"I am looking at mice. You are looking at mice. They are also looking at mice."

"Hmm, I'm not sure -- she's a little mousier than the last woman I dated."

lolling at the paul noth one for some reason.

also "it's a reality show about my fantasies" has win potential

'NERDS!'

schwantz's wife made me laugh harder than I've ever laughed at new yorker cartoon

"Have the Chinese one removed for questioning."

From that long list of candidates above:

no this isn't MY evening gown i tied up a pedestrian on the way to your studio and robbed her blind.

"The leader of the mice appears to have rounded up all the intellectuals in a gulag"
"Ha, Communism sounds great on paper - it just doesn't work in lab conditions!"

12 more hours to go, and then I'll make a poll at about 11 pm (US Eastern) tonight.

And.....the new caption has appeared. Have at it!

3) EZ Snappin and Dr Superman(tie) (3 votes)

"Sweden? It was MOSTLY uneventful..."

(also where was the poll? I totally missed it)

"I call her Ladybird, because she's my lady."

"Milk, toilet roll, wrapping paper. Got it."

The "Let's Win the New Yorker Caption Contest" Poll: Week 1

D'oh!

Well to sum it up, Roberto Spiralli won, but in typical ILX fashion, there were concerns about bestiality. That made your caption the choice for entry. But then, I'm pretty sure no one ever entered it, because I stupidly assumed that you had seen the poll.

"Let me know if you see anything that people believe doesn't exist. Like Donald Trump's sense of humility."

“Holy shit, do you see that?! It says ‘W A R P’ on the snow”

yes he slept over and no its not any of your business anymore

I've always thought of the SkiFree monster as a metaphor for the inevitability of death.

Press 'F' to pay respects go faster than the monster and escape.

Darraghmac ftw

Def

did anyone else here get a spam email from the "founder" of this contest - who has quit the new Yorker and set up his, er, own captioning contest? surely it's a massive breach of whatever privacy policy the NYer has for him to abscond with the mailing list for his own purposes!

christ, what an asshole

ha

"Asshole. You just HAD to tell him he was looking a little mangy..."

"Well you're an abominable HUSBAND."

"HE didn't have any problems asking directions."

Lol

Sigh. Another day, another Bigfoot sighting debunked.

i would've said hi but i don't know the yetiquette

"I thought we agreed, no politics!"
