caption contest, bullfighting, bull landing on head

You might expect a turkey or Thanksgiving themed caption contest, since turkey day is this week, but you won’t get one here this year.  (I didn’t see any funny turkey pictures in my stash and I don’t have time to search for one.)  Instead of a turkey, how about a bull?  Not to eat, but to FIGHT!

This week’s picture involves a bullfighter, but the bull has landed on his head somehow.   Think of some funny way to explain this photo.   Your caption can be from the bullfighter, the bull, the announcers, anyone in the stands, or just an anonymous observation.  It can be a one-liner, a dumb pun, or a short story — it doesn’t matter, as long as it is funny.

caption contest, car stunt, epic fail

Last week’s caption contest with President Obama yielded some funny comments, but let’s take it up a notch.  How about a caption contest featuring a car making a jump, wrecking spectacularly, with accompanying explosions?  That sounds exciting!  So be it.  Figure out some incredible story to explain this picture, or make a funny joke or pun related to it.  The background is that it’s a car stunt by Spanky Spangler that happened during Evel Knievel Days in Butte, Montana, but your explanation doesn’t have to fit with what actually happened.  Get creative.  Think about how this scenario could somehow fit in with everyday life.  Maybe it’s not part of everyday life for you, but imagine how it could be…

caption contest, President Obama walking into a crowd

With President Barack Obama going on a 10-day trip to India, Indonesia, South Korea, and Japan, and with all the hoopla and controversy surrounding that, I figured it’s as good a time as ever to use this photo for a caption contest.   Here, Obama and his Secret Service personnel are walking into a large crowd.  Some guy in the crowd either wants to touch his face or slap him — not sure what that’s about or how that will end up.   So that’s one thing to discuss, but since a picture is worth a thousand words, there should be plenty to say.  And of course, you can always make up a story to go with it, whether based on current events or completely fictional.   So think of something funny to say about this picture and leave it in a comment for all to enjoy.

caption contest, man pointing at food

A new week, and a new caption contest — they just seem to go together, don’t they?  Anyway, this week’s picture features a man pointing at a plate of food.  He looks kinda like Adam Richman of Man v Food fame, but I’m not for sure if it is.  The food appears to be some type of cheeseburger, but that is open to your interpretation.

Here’s how the game works.  You write a caption for this picture, explaining what is going on.  The goal is to think of something funny.  Why is this man pointing at his food?  What is he saying or thinking?  What is the guy in the background thinking?  Feel free to make up a short story to explain it, if you feel so inspired.  Of course, one-liners are welcome.  (Puns are not necessarily welcome, but are tolerated.)  🙂
