THE FORUM EVENT COMMENTARY THREAD

[Mockery]

Ok, if you wish to discuss a forum event that's going on, please do it in this thread rather than in the actual thread that the contest is taking place.

[Matt Harty]

people shouldnt be allowed to completely stray off the storyline

[Mockery]

Yeah I gotta agree with that. If someone's post isn't funny, a person doesn't have to reply and make fun of that post... that's not going to help the "story" progress. And if a person wants to change the direction that a story is going, that's fine, but you gotta at least have a good segue into it.

On a side note, these are some real good prizes I'm puttin' up for you guys and I'm gonna keep doing it every month because I want to help make the boards that much more fun. I hope more of you will start entering these things. There's a lot of funny people on these forums, and it's a shame to see them be lazy and not participate in these storytime contests.

[MetalMilitia]

I would particpate mabey but i've never seen any of the shows which the events are about :(

also most events get so suckified by people i've never heard of I dont feel like adding anything to the comic. :(

[Matt Harty]

I think that's the main problem, which can already be seen in the newest contest. It's too hard to make a continuation of that shit.

[Fathom Zero]

Ditto, but if it was a Laugh In DVD, then I'd be more inclined.

[Chojin]

I don't think the entries should depend on reliance on idiots. These should just be one-shot pictures instead of a story, at least until we have some sort of screening process.

[AChimp]

I think I should be allowed to delete entries that suck.

[Jixby Phillips]

I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DELETE YOU THAT SUCKS

[AChimp]

HEY LETS JUST REMEMBER WHO'S AN ADMIN HERE ALLRIGHT????

[Juttin]

charles incharge I willfightyou!


I'm the Faggot!

That aside,I think entries made with MSPaint should be deleted.

Also,the one with the "Fecal Matter" everywhere.


It isn't funny >:

[MLE]

Rule 9. Images must be manipulated in some way.
Do not just take a screenshot and add word bubbles.

MORE THAN HALF THE ENTRIES ARE THIS >: >: >:

[Jixby Phillips]

I like the ones where i turned it upside down

[Jeff The Ninja]

That aside,I think entries made with MSPaint should be deleted.

I disagree, I think that if a submission is funny or relevant it should stay. It shouldnt matter if it was made in MSPaint or photoshop (remember, some of us dont have enough money to purchuase a copy of photoshop or we lack the computer power to run it).

But I think that there should be some kind of screening put in place to keep the bad submissions out. This newest event as well as the electric company one dont have the same value as the path of neo, too many idiots putting in shit and dick jokes.

[GADZOOKS]

I agree with one-shots!

[Mockery]

Voting for the Charles In Charge event will take place soon and then the resutls will be posted. Thanks to those of you who took the time to enter.

Also, another forum event contest will be coming up shortly :o

[MarioRPG]

Also, another forum event contest will be coming up shortly :o
Hope of it is something I actually know this time. Then again, I'll lose either way.

[That Man]

Eh I'll take a shot at the new contest when it comes out. It can't hurt to try :)










I suck at photoshop.

[Mad Melvin]

I suck at photoshop.

Well thats ok. After all you have the amazing skill of writing humorous articles of things that should be destroyed, which is more than enough to compensate that particular flaw.

[Emu]

I think Chojin just won this contest

[Esuohlim]

My entry got deleted http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/pimp.gif

[Fathom Zero]

Porque?

[Esuohlim]

http://www.i-mockery.net/events/transformers/robofarnk.JPG

Robot Frank. :(

Fake robot/human hybrid :sigh

[Fathom Zero]

I'm sorry. :(

[Esuohlim]

I think ArrowX's should be deleted too >:

[MLE]

his is a beast and a robot at least, not a man.

and a man.

[Chojin]

Yeah but all the same I think ArrowX should be banned from everything.

[ArrowX]

I think you can lick my balls >:

[MLE]

I think he can't.

[ArrowX]

I think you hurt my feelings :(

[pjalne]

On a lighter note, the crowbot was leaps and bounds better than the gerbil thing. Made me smile.

[Chojin]

By the way i'm not actually in the contest, I'm just here to look pretty.

[GADZOOKS]

On a lighter note, the crowbot was leaps and bounds better than the gerbil thing. Made me smile.

[Esuohlim]

I'm liking MLE's the best so far :(

[Johnny Couth]

Chojin's was awesome, I can't compete with that.

[Guitar Woman]

Hey stupidkraut if you're gonna have a motorcycle transformer at least put a goat head on it and call it "Goatercycle" like I was gonna do >:

[Chojin]

By the way i'm not actually in the contest, I'm just here to look pretty.

[MarioRPG]

Hey stupidkraut if you're gonna have a motorcycle transformer at least put a goat head on it and call it "Goatercycle" like I was gonna do >:
Hah hah, that would've been so awesome.

[Guitar Woman]

I tried to make it with MS Paint, but it didn't work out at all. :(

[MarioRPG]

I tried to make it with MS Paint, but it didn't work out at all. :(
That's a shame. A DAMN shame. On the bright side, without your entry I have a slightly higher % of winning.

[Guitar Woman]

I changed my mind, jerks.

F*ck you for not having a decent text thingie MS Paint

[MarioRPG]

Haw haw, Emu didn't name his.
Unless it was called Matt Groening.

[Emu]

it is

[Sethomas]

The test for whether or not there is justice in the world lies in the fact that blackflag should win, and if he doesn't, justice is a sham.

[That Man]

Justice IS a sham.

[Emu]

You know what else is a sham? These "writings" of yours. It's been half a damn month and you've been given tons of ideas and you haven't written a damn thing, you fucking lying cunt.

[Juttin]

The bear-lamp has my vote.

One thing,though....

Why is it on when it's un-plugged?

[xbxDaniel]

Satanic rituals.

[MLE]

If he couldn't work while unplugged, how could he fight crime :rolleyes

[executioneer]

thats not even a plug its a communications array DISGUISED as a plug geez

[MarioRPG]

oh my, that pig can't "breath".

[GIJOEKAMALA]

Spelling error. Fixing...no too lazy!

[GIJOEKAMALA]

Eh, what the Hell I need an excuse to put off finishing my finals.

[Guitar Woman]

So when your teacher asks you why your finals aren't done, you're going to say you couldn't do it because you had to fix a spelling error in a retarded unfunny photoshop?

[GIJOEKAMALA]

That's exactly what I'm going to say!

[MarioRPG]

So when your teacher asks you why your finals aren't done, you're going to say you couldn't do it because you had to fix a spelling error in a retarded unfunny photoshop?
Excellent. I'd give at least an extra day for that reason.

By the way, I like the triple exlcamation and question marks. Nice touch.

[Misdemonar]

Mario is such a kiss ass >:

[Terra]

I think your word for the week is "pussy," Misdemoner. :)

[MarioRPG]

Luckily for me the week is almost over, eh?
;)

[Juttin]

If he couldn't work while unplugged, how could he fight crime :rolleyes

He's very obiously a turret bot >:

[Misdemonar]

I think your word for the week is "pussy," Misdemoner. :)

pussy

[Misdemonar]

Where is terra when I need her? :(

[Mike P]

When is the Beast Wars contest going to be resolved?

[Mockery]

As soon as the rest of the judges get off their asses and cast their votes. *cough*Max*cough*Protoclown*cough*

[ItalianStereotype]

Segasaurus won? what? what the hell? what? is it the same Segasaurus I see?

[MarioRPG]

At least I got a vote.

[Misdemonar]

it was a vote of pity.

[MarioRPG]

it was a vote of pity.
BUT IT WAS A VOTE.

[executioneer]

man what is the proper terminlogy for someone you're sending a secret santa gift to

I mean if you're RECEIVING the person who SENT it is your "Secret Santa", but what are you to them a "Secret Child" or what

[xbxDaniel]

Sethomas' bit was fucking hilarious! One of the funniest things I've read on the forums. (http://www.i-mockery.net/viewtopic.php?p=455487&highlight=#455487)

[Mockery]

man what is the proper terminlogy for someone you're sending a secret santa gift to

I mean if you're RECEIVING the person who SENT it is your "Secret Santa", but what are you to them a "Secret Child" or what
A recipient? Or, in Seth's case, "someone who got screwed over" ?

[liquidstatik]

OKAY ROG YO UKNOW BETWEEN US GROWN UPS
I THINK YOU SHOULD JUST BAN HIM

[Mockery]

:themoreyouknow

[executioneer]

A recipient? Or, in Seth's case, "someone who got screwed over" ?

but that doesnt have SECRET in it

[Mockery]

Maybe it DOES and you just didn't realize it, because it's such a huge secret. :faint

[noob3]

i finally sent mine off, it was 8 bucks to mail which made me happy because everyone else was spending like 9 :0

[Mockery]

That's stickin' it to THE MAN. You've got the SYSTEM figured out, Noob3. :o

[executioneer]

i was sorely tempted to abuse my powers as mail guy to send my package overnight for free :(

[FartinMowler]

Wow big surprise Chojin got Noob 3 :rolleyes and Willie got Chojin :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes

[FartinMowler]

fartin do you want some cookies too i can make you a whole batch of Oh Well ones

That's ok thanks :/ I bet I got Buhda who said "oh great I got a gay"

[nothing4buddha]

no i got a different gay :(

[liquidstatik]

im still waiting for mine ;o

[Jixby Phillips]

Oh hey I guess I have to defend my present now but I will do it here becusae nobody wants to hear my bellyaches and also because that thread is not about secret santa letters and this is really close to being a secret santa letter.

I actually spent more time getting a present than I let on. I spent two afternoons shopping. Many of the things I saw seemed uninspiring. Then I thought of Silly String, which I REALLY had to tear my city apart to even find. Getting people together for a silly string war seemed like good fodder for a picture story, or at least I thought so. I also had unrealistic expectations as to how much silly string actually cost, and how much I could get with 20 bucks. I imagined maybe twice the ammount. 8 cans of silly string would have been impressive right? I can remember getting ONE can of silly string as a present as a kid and it running out like a flash, and being sad. I also thought of the poison notes joke while buying the silly string, which I now commited to because I had spent so much time running around town trying to find any.

I woke up pretty late on the day of the deadline and I had about five hours to pack the silly string before the post office closed. I realized I needed to spice up the gift. Then a genuine paranoid concern over the poison notes came over me. So I wrote the letters. And I tried to make them funny! It'd be like a singer writing someone a song as a gift, or an artist painting a painting as a gift! I'm not any of those things. I am a sorta-funny guy. SO i wrote a sorta funny letter! Then, another sorta-funny letter!

I was proud of myself for coming up with a present that wasn't just a bunch of random stuff, and tried to get a present that was conceptual and also an experiance in of itself... not to put people down who DID send random stuff; I had a ball with spenglers present and immediately after I got done playing with his stuff, I started to silently panic to myself and I truly regretted not going with the randon approach for Dr. Boogie's presents.

So yeah, the present kinda sucks. But I tried, alright? Honest.

Merry Christmas, and suck my dick

Nah I don't mean the thing about "suck my dick," I'm just blowing off steam, you know? we're cool right?

[Mockery]

:themoreyouknow

Thanks for clarifying that Jixby, at least we know you did try. That's weird you had such a hard time finding silly string though... just cuz I can't even think of a time that I've been in a toy store or party supplies store that didn't have seemingly unlimited supplies of it.

Your letters definitely showed plenty of effort, but yeah, from an outsider's point of view and a recipients point of view, without any explanation, the cans o' silly string definitely seemed like a minimal effort/last minute kind o' gift. Don't worry though, we're not saying you pulled a "zeldasbiggestfan" or anything. ;)

[Jixby Phillips]

The lack of toy stores in redding is disgusting. I was sad to find out that the two big ones I remembered as a kid don't even exist anymore. The one in the mall is toast; the closest thing resembling a toy store there is a GAME AND PUZZLE store (yeah thats fine if you're a nerd) Toys 'r' us got torn down becuase kids nowadays enjoy camera phones instead of toys. I guess all of kiddom collectively decided that they in fact DO wanna grow up :(

[Mockery]

Damn, isn't Redding like a suburbian area too? Cuz most areas like that are flooded with toy stores.

So no toy stores in Redding. Please explain to me: why do you live there?

[Zomboid]

I know I'm in no real position to comment on this since I pretty much shit the bed with it last year, but it seems like everyone's a little too anal about it this year. I can understand why, to a degree, but I think if it had stayed small like last year and you didn't HAVE TO MAKE A FUNNY STORY FOR THE PEOPLE TO LAUGH AT along with the pictures, it'd be a lot more relaxed.

I'm not trying to say it completely blows ass or anything, I just think sending funny/cool gifts to people who've been here for a while seemed like more fun than a bunch of try-hards making lengthy posts full of WACKY pictures that aren't all that funny but get a ton of "AW THAT WAS REAL GOOD DUDE!" posts nevertheless. There've been a few good ones but for the most part it seems like a project a teacher would force you to do in elementary school.

[Mockery]

There is no requirement to "make a funny story", it's just encouraged. The rules state that the only thing you HAVE to do is post pictures of the items you got.

And I think this year's event is going better so far and the posts are much more entertaining.

[FartinMowler]

Well, this is the first time I've been involved in something that I want to post something fun...I wish that I had of sent more stuff to Spengler. I'm waiting until Friday when my kids can help (my daughter knows how to use the Mac movie thing better than me). Not everyone can do something fun and it's fun to see that atleast some of the long time Mockers are actually giving and not a bunch of jerks...

[Zomboid]

Bah! It's pretty obvious that at this point anyone who didn't post a story would be shit on by nearly everyone else in the event. Just seems like more than the minimum is more than expected :O. That's not to say that zelda shouldn't have been given shit and I think he should be banned because that was horribly cheap and unfair.

I disagree about this year being more entertaining though. While there's definitely more participants, I just can't even bring myself to sit through an entire "story" from some new person that I don't give a shit about. Jixby's stuff was good, and I imagine that chojin, schimid, ninja and a few others will have some funny stuff again, but I kinda don't even bother reading the stuff that accompanies the pictures of the newer people.

I'm just not gonna say anything else if I can help it because I'm sounding like a disgruntled "vet" when all I wanted to do was say that last year was better :(

Edit: The fact that there was a kid who looked like he was 10 entered in this was hilarious though.

[Emu]

I kind of agree with Zomboid :( Part of why I haven't posted my pictures yet is my paranoia about making a story (I thought it was required, and I have had some ideas, but every time I think about doing it I get awashed with that "I'm not as funny as those guys" paranoia) although the crux of the biscuit is that it's finals week and I have a lot of shit I have to do, which will thankfully be over Friday. I'm going to post pictures then if not sooner.

[Mockery]

I honestly don't care if someone posts a story or not. If someone feels like they need to, well that's their own problem. All I've asked for people to do is post the pics of the gifts they got and tell us all who their Secret Santa is. Simple as that.

[MetalMilitia]

I just read through the whole pictures thread and some people did some funny stuff.
I think Jixby has to win as he obviously put a whole bunch of effort into making his videos and, apart from a few bits which I thought missed the mark slightly, they where extremely funny.

Willie's presents where really good and it looks like he put alot of thought into them.

Oh, and I quite liked MLE's post because it had a cat in :/


I guess I somewhat agree with Zomboid that I don't care about the new people that have never posted outside the secret santa thread. Can't really see how they would enjoy it either :/

Either way it's been a good effort this year! :)

[Chojin]

Well IIIII enjoyed their posts you pretentious faggots >:

[MarioRPG]

I'll be getting my film back near wednesday for those interested.

[Grislygus]

Man, how the fuck can anything compete with Willie's horror tree

I am jealous

[executioneer]

i don't even want that movie :(

[executioneer]

srsly i'd like to remove myself from competition for this movie :(

[Obscurus Lupa]

Not related to the contest...but I have to say, you win best av with me, executioneer. Pee Racer is the epitome of wit.

[Zomboid]

Why was my fucking post deleted? Can't say "winner", lest it confuse everyone and create unstoppable chaos? Fuck sakes.

[Grislygus]

I was wondering about that. Probably because you hit the nail on the head.

[Mockery]

Why was my fucking post deleted? Can't say "winner", lest it confuse everyone and create unstoppable chaos? Fuck sakes.
No, you can say "winner" about any entry you like. Your post was deleted because you quoted the entire big image rather than just said "J is gonna win" or whatever. We've always tried discouraging people from quoting big images that were just posted. There's no need for it. We all saw it and liked it the first time.

Move along...

[executioneer]

MARKED ONE, WHAT THE HELL

[Mockery]

MARKED ONE, WHAT THE HELL
:confused

[Guitar Woman]

I think Willie won guys

[executioneer]

if the new h.p. contest was for th enew book i'd totally go for it but as it is i'm not v. interested in video games based on movies :(

[FartinMowler]

Jesus fucking christ I wish I was a mod only to tell this dick Penguins suck :\

[Max Radical]

Much love for BII's jig-a-loo entry. Simple and hilarious.

[Fathom Zero]

Yggdrasil won Harry Potter. Hands down.

[Chojin]

Grislygus was good too. Also, I'd totally be in it if it was for the Wii version :<

Oh and the guy that had Ron dressed as Harry was lol :< Probably my favorite, even

[Obscurus Lupa]

The girl who had Ron dressed as Harry. ;)


I liked the "EAT IT!" entry, lol.

[Chojin]

i think the forum events forum needs its own 'post yer picture here' thread, since it's apparently an alternate dimension :<

[MarioRPG]

Is there a reason I only recognize a few names in the contests?

[executioneer]

probably because theres links to it on the front page and a lot of people who odnt really post on here want to win prizies

[Type40]

I know I entered because of the link up front...plus, I've always wanted to but never had the time until now.

Long time reader, first time poster and all that...

[Obscurus Lupa]

I post here. Just not much. Plus the contests are fun. :)

[MarioRPG]

I was going to post an entry in the Jig-a-loo contest that was the back to the future poster, and it just saying:
Jig-a-loo: ...How else?

Then I ran out of time.

[executioneer]

i was considering making a bttf one too only with a reference to 1.21 jig-a-watts :(

[jared]

Based on my analyses of previous contests, in which I lost--without any bitterness--I predict Yggdrasil will win this Harry Potter contest. That's unfortunate, but I can see it has appeal for Generation SpongeBob, lacking in subtlety and nuance. I can imagine what they say now, when they take a moment to stop drinking Sunny Delight, "It's funny cos it's so random." No it isn't. That is not what 'random' means. Unless Yggdrasil used a lottery machine to generate the arrangement of images and words, there is absolutely no randomization present; it is absurdist, surreal perhaps, but not random. But I digress. Should there be anyone acquainted with the glories of Monty Python, surely that one would cast vote for either GrislyGus' entry or my third entry. ObscuraLupa's is also interesting, with one flawed line (Harry calls Ron sick--it's melodramatic). NorthBendson's entry is the worst.

[Grislygus]

I personally found Ygg's entry to be crunchy and delicious, with a powerful mixture of seasonings.


It's a fucking screen caption contest.

[jared]

This screen caption contest, Herr Gus, is a microcosm of our contemporary Occidental society. Can't you see that brow and intelligence have all been lowered before the onslaught of Squarebob Spongepants and his ilk? You can see it in NorthBendson's wretched attempt at an entry. Put down your Stephen King, pick up your Samuel Beckett, and caption something decent, folks. In an age where John Cleese walks among us, insufficiently nuanced humor ought to be demolished at the source.

[Schimid]

Jared is a whiny faggot.

Ygg's was great.

[jared]

Oh yes? Well, in all seriousness, now, Yggdrasil's is quite good for creativity. However, I think Obscura Lupa's is better yet; it's the funniest; there's actually some rationality behind it. In third place, I would put GrislyGus. My own entries fourth. Everything else follows. The one with the octopus doesn't even contain enough screenshots.

[Obscurus Lupa]

I liked the entry about the hermit crab. :D It was a little too long, but I liked the odd speech.

EDIT: Which entry had an octopus in it?

[jared]

To my knowledge there is no entry with an octopus. It's unfortunate, really. If there had been one with an octopus, I wouldn't have had to lie about there being one.

[Chojin]

We already have a philosophy forum, Jared, thanks.

Ygg probably deserves to win, though I'm probably only leaning that way now to slight one of the internet's thousands of Python-obsessed comedy professors.

[jared]

I'm not Python-obsessed. I prefer Fawlty Towers, in fact. Yggdrasil's entry is, curiously, much more Pythonesque than Lupa's, which is Fawltyesque in its psychosexual masochism. Right?

[Chojin]

Shouldn't you be doing commercials with pop culture icons or something?

[Obscurus Lupa]

:( I like things that are funny.

[Grislygus]

Since when the fuck is Monty Python about nuanced, intelligent humor? Did this clown even bother watching Flying Circus?

[Obscurus Lupa]

"I fart in your general direction."?

I think British people sound smart.

[jared]

To understand the rich nuances of the Flying Circus, Herr Gus, you must have read Marshall McLuhan. Still, one might blame the Pythons for Generation Spongebob. Now Yes, Minister is some fine, nuanced humor, consisting primarily of dialogue. Smart-sounding British people never sounded so bloody smart. It's the dog's bollocks.

[Grislygus]

Uh huh. Cannibal sailors, Confuse-A-Cat, the Lumberjack song, diaper retards, maneating houses, and marauding bands of babies that kidnap thirty year olds are the epitome of sophistication.


The only truly intellectual skits they ever did were The Mouse Problem and the artist with the rebellious businessman son. Of course, I don't have the benefit of highminded pomposity and wishful thinking, so I guess I just don't get it.

[jared]

In fact, you don't get it. The tasteless silliness was satire of contemporary British society and continental intellectual society (hence the Proust and Sartre references), along the lines of Jonathan Swift. The individual sketches must be taken in the context of each themed episode. They played with the conventions of the television medium this way. Confuse-A-Cat is perhaps the worst comedy sketch ever written; I don't defend it.

[arg_zombies]

I'm sorry...
Am I right in saying that somehow a commentary on Harry Potter Competition Entries has somehow turned into a debate on whether Monty Python was the height of sophisticated humour?

[Yggdrasill]

I didn't notice this thread until just now. So my entry was good except jared had to go and analyse it or something. The only three things that influenced it were Piers Anthony, Hermiones need to be right all the time, and the creepy thing that is Daniel Radcliffe.

[Obscurus Lupa]

My inspiration was people in funny costumes.

[bunksteve]

Put down your Stephen King, pick up your Samuel Beckett...

I don't see what Quantum Leap has to do with any of th- ohhhh... I get it. Nevermind. Moving along.

[jared]

Ah, Yggdrasil, now I understand; it is funnier in this new light, but I still put your entry at second place. Ironically, Hermione is wrong, isn't she? I mean, 'gypsy' is not coextensive with 'Roma.' As Piers says, "The Roma betimes are indeed called gypsies, and incorrectly, but not everything that is called a gypsy is Roma. Some gypsies really are just travelling charlatans." -- Piers Anthony in Fire on a Horse-Sized Spaceship

[arg_zombies]

What.




The.






Fuck.

[MLE]

can we just pre-emptively ban him?

[Schimid]

...i won!

[Fluke]

Come on guys!! New competition!

[MarioRPG]

Oh man, I read that entry date as 10/15/2007 for some reason. I thought I had a month! I'm not sure if I'll enter it, but not that I've bothered to post here I prolly will.

[Mockery]

Heh, it's not like it's a contest that should take too long for most people to enter. 1 photo and a short description is all ya need for it...

[arg_zombies]

Don't worry, I'm working on it with my stapler

[Yggdrasill]

I thought about maybe winning this contest but the first thing that came to mind was some kind of mask entitled "bukkake avenger", which I am having a very hard time even picturing what such a mask would be.

[MarioRPG]

I'm sure you could find some guys to expand your imagination.

[Yggdrasill]

I'm still waiting for my prize from that harry potter contest :(

[Mockery]

I caught up on all my mail earlier this week, including sending out your Harry Potter prize. You should have it shortly.

:squigly

[Yggdrasill]

Yes! You rock!

[jared]

Good heavens, nobody's going to beat Juanfer. He actually put effort, creativity, and elan vital into this thing. Just my luck, 'had been encountered by a gang of lungfish' for nothing; I'd better go and beat my wife...

[Obscurus Lupa]

Heh heh, I like that his fruit mask is expressive and the eyebrows move, lol. Very well-crafted mask, and I liked that his character only kills watermelon-sowers. :lol

[jared]

If you like it so much, why don'tcha marry it?

Yes, so what if the mask melds to his head as the interlocked lips of passionate lovers; if the fruit and vegetables are the harmony of the spheres--it's so beautiful, it could make one weep--so what if all that's true? Blast it all!

[arg_zombies]

Jared

I'll never understand whatever your on about

That's what makes our friendship so strong



:(

[Yggdrasill]

Heh heh, I like that his fruit mask is expressive and the eyebrows move, lol. Very well-crafted mask, and I liked that his character only kills watermelon-sowers. :lol

Well I think the description for your mask was a lot funnier, as well as the rest. Juanfer has the most original mask so far but it didn't make me feel, uh humored or whatever that feeling is when you don't laugh out loud but it's funny.

Also, I got my PRIZES:love Thank you Rog and Marie for really making my bad day good.

[Obscurus Lupa]

Yeah, it didn't do so well in the humor department, but you can tell there was effort put in.

Thanks, by the way. :D

[Chojin]

Schimid got his prizes too, even if he's too big a fag to come out here and tell you about them.

Also I love this forum :< And the mask contest is by far the best one we've had yet.

[Fathom Zero]

There are a lot of McWhatevers.

[Obscurus Lupa]

Heh heh, I like McCase. Shoulda been McPillowcase.

[MarioRPG]

I will enter as soon as someone gives me a good idea!!!!

[Mockery]

Well you'd better enter soon, the contest ends after this Sunday.

[jared]

For heaven's sake, another hulking, hairy man has plastered his pinups in the contest! Can't a female do one of these near-nude photos for a change? Who wouldn't want to see Greenfingers' tomatoes?

[Obscurus Lupa]

Nappy-nose will forever haunt me. >.< In that aspect I'd say he was successful.

[Simon n00b]

lifeguardoflove totally wins

I wanna win so bad, But I know I won't. :(

[Sethomas]

I thought about making a joke entry wherein I wear my cardboard, red-colored Vincent Price mask and just give the thoroughly monotonous story of how I procured it. It would have been wonderful, but I was lazy. And yes, I know that we were supposed to make our entries.

[Yggdrasill]

lifeguardoflove brought horror to this halloween contest

[Obscurus Lupa]

blacksamster gets points for the Lost Skeleton of Cadavra reference in the sig.

My favorite poster so far is the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" parody, lol.

[Mockery]

It's only the first day and this contest is already kicking ass. Can't wait to see how many great posters we end up with. Keep 'em coming people!

[zeldasbiggestfan]

Even if I lose, or don't even enter, I'm buying that Zombie one. I need it.

[jared]

So far, at this hammer time, there are a lot of creative efforts, and even a few that are slightly amusing (or 'humoring', to use Yggdrasil's convenient verb). Only one is really pumping it up with the funny, however, and that's the Honey I Shrunk the Kids entry. I didn't even find my own funny. They just have lots of fulsome funbags; but they're too legit to quit. Besides, they put me in the mix.

[Type40]

I have to say, I am in love with "The Brain That Died"!
Excellent work nomistakinit!

[Guitar Woman]

JTP's entries are fucking godly. He made this the first forum contest in like forever that I've actually laughed at.

[jared]

JTP's entries remind me of some of Scorcese's recent films, such as The Aviator.

I'm starting to come around to The Brain that Died. It is quite clever. And judging by Nomistakinit's voluminous entries, it was a fluke.

I would also like to give FLappyBat and mrmonkey72 the Germaine Greer Seal of Approval for making my least favourite entries. And by 'my least favourite' I mean the objectively worst entries. "I tell ya, they're so bad..." "How bad are they?" "They're bad enough that they slept with my chemistry wife!"

[Type40]

I'm starting to come around to The Brain that Died. It is quite clever. And judging by Nomistakinit's voluminous entries, it was a fluke.

Yeah, I have to agree. Based on the body of work, it was a pearl in a poop pile.

JTP's entries are awesome, however!
The three headed monster one is simply gorgeous work.

[Obscurus Lupa]

lol! Abraham versus George is my favorite, hands down.

[jared]

Why, I'm flattered that you like my entry so much, Obscurus. And to think I almost called it 'Undead Presidents.'

[Obscurus Lupa]

I was talking about nomistakinit's entry. ;) But nice try, jared.

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

lol! Abraham versus George is my favorite, hands down.

I love the bunny in Lincon's hat.

[arg_zombies]

Pednaud FTW!

[Fathom Zero]

The quality of the posters are astounding and I'd love any one of them on my wall.

If I were a judge, this'd be extremely tough.

[Cfr5]

Looks like we could use more virgins.

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

I just watched The Brain That Wouldn't Die (http://www.dreamplayer.net/img/brain_that_wouldnt_die.jpg)today. I didn't realize that I had it in a boxed set. It was also featured on an episode of Mystery Science Theater. I'll have to track that down. It was of Ed Wood quality and likely made a great episode.

I found the entire thing on google video as it is public domain.
Watch The Brain That Wouldn't Die here. (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6660611491774828467)

[Obscurus Lupa]

You can also watch the whole MST3K episode featuring it on youtube:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=z6m2PD1qBjs

The user has it uploaded in parts.

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

Awesome! Holy HELL! MST3K jackpot. Thanks Lupa!

[Obscurus Lupa]

No problem, dude. ;) It's pretty hilarious.

[Obscurus Lupa]

Yay, a new contest! This one looks like it'll be great fun. It'll be hard to top the first entry- nice job, Pednaud!

[Obscurus Lupa]

Sorry for the triple post. I loved the writing on the "Ironic Crunch" box, lol.

[Emu]

anybody who uses the phrase "They're screamingly delicious" or any derivative thereof should be disqualified

[Zomboid]

That phantasms one is the best by far.

[MarioRPG]

Oh fuck you, JTP.
You're too good :)

[Zomboid]

Yeah he is. The cenobites one is really fucking good too. Awesome work.

[Eyelobe]

Ya, nicely done JTP. I was thinking about trying "Hellraisin' Bran", or some such shite, but you beat me to it...

Will these be judged on the actual quality of the designs? If so it will be hard to beat your entries. To compensate for the crappy MSpaint production values, my entries will feature original characters. Boognish!

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

Thanks for the compliments guys, but remember, humor counts just as much as design. In fact, probably more so. This is anyone's game. The entries thus far have been awesome! Keep them coming!

[Eyelobe]

Ok, I have to expose my internet ineptness here, but why is my "Dr. Sicko" entry displayed in a box that has to be clicked on to be viewed properly? Did I upload this incorrectly? What image hosting thingie are you guys using?

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

I use imageshack. You probably linked to a thumbnail view. There should be a direct address for the image as well. The one for your entry is here:
http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/25bf876904.jpg

so, you cut and paste that into the picture dohicky and you get:

http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/25bf876904.jpg

By the way, that Sicko character looks like the lovechild of Grampa Simpson and that old pervert from Family Guy.

[Eyelobe]

" By the way, that Sicko character looks like the lovechild of Grampa Simpson and that old pervert from Family Guy."

Heh...fair enough. :lol

Thanks for the help, I'll try to fix that.

[nomistakinit]

That GWAR cereal box is pretty cool.

I had another band I was thinking about doing later...

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

Ha HA HA, that sleepaway camp one is hilarious.

[Mockery]

hahahah holy shit @ sleepaway camp. the penis shaped cereal bits = perfection. I'm sure a lot of people won't get it cuz they haven't seen that movie, but for those who have, that's a damned good entry. Nice one, nomistakinit.

[MarioRPG]

I haven't seen the movie, but I still got why it was relevant.
I gotta get entering soon!

[Obscurus Lupa]

Ha ha, I read your sig just as "Bad Moon Rising" was playing on my computer.

[Obscurus Lupa]

LOL! The Torgo one is my favorite so far.

[MarioRPG]

Ha ha, I read your sig just as "Bad Moon Rising" was playing on my computer. :)

And TORG-O's I think is the best, just for the brilliance of "The Master WOULD approve!"

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

So, I was designing what I thought was a brilliant cereal box. I thought After Life (base on Life Ceral) was perfect, and after a few hours, it started looking a little familiar. A Google search later and behold:
http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/8459/52hc3.jpg

Good ol'Wacky Packs.

I also came across this which, while not horror-themed, we should all still kneel before.

http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/8891/phantomzonecrispbyrobbvtt4.jpg

[Uncle_Sham]

J.t.p, i fuking love your work.

[Mockery]

J. Tithonus Pednaud, where did that Phantom Zone cereal image come from? Was that an actual Wacky Packages card from back in the day or is it just some spoof an artist did recently? That image is absolutely awesome and I love the little details like the fact that the cereal is "licorice" flavored to go in line with Zod's uniform hahah. Classic.


Also, a reminder to everybody: please post your comments in this comment thread, not in the actual contest threads. Thanks.

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

No, it's not a wacky pack. I just found it via a Google image search. I went back to the image on my hard drive and see it's tagged by a Robb_Vision. A Google search shows nothing for that name though.

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

I found him over on Deviant.

[MarioRPG]

Oh, my. That is nothing short of rediculous.

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

Ha, Ha, Ha - The Mighty Tor! In Beast of Yucca Flats, no less.

Beware his unleashed fury! LINK (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLEJCg7xgtI)

[Grislygus]

I originally wanted to do an Unearthly reference, which is my one of my favorites, but then I wouldn't have been able to use that awesome screencap.

TOR HUG FRIEND! FRIIIIEEEEEEEEND!

[MarioRPG]

It looks like I won't be entering this one, I barely have the time to post. Maybe the weekend will be fruitiful.

[Blue Gularis]

Very funny stuff folks, a lot of fine looking entries.

Someone elsewhere already did MY IDEA, damn them!

(found during my material gathering image searches)

I am now shattered. Sorry to sit this one out, but now I'm too wasted anyway. Good luck to all the contestants!

See you on the other side. :squigly

[Eyelobe]

Hey guys,

My entries seem to have disappeared. Were they deleted? Were they really that bad?

[Obscurus Lupa]

I can still see 'em.

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

I'm a little disappointed. After the barrage of poster entries, I'm surprised that there weren't more cereal entries.

[Mockery]

Eh, only reason for that is because I gave people more time to enter the last contest... I've been so busy this month I posted this one up later than I would've liked. Still, I loved the entries that we received, some great stuff in there.

Results coming soon enough :o

[Eyelobe]

So who won this thing?

[Emu]

Frankenslime sounds delicious :x

[ZAKO the GREAT]

when will it ends?

[jared]

So far Zako's Zipper Eater seems the most in the spirit of the series. The bear trap entry is mildly disturbing--it looks like Spongebob's eternal buggery in sponge-hell; and someone's let some sand get into the vaseline.

[Madman914]

Zako's does seem to be the best so far, love the detail. But I'm a little surprised that Beartrap Pat came off as only mildly disturbing, I was going for horrifically disturbing. Better luck next try.

[MysticJoJo]

It's not easy to take a picture of a 3-d one, at least not when it's so unbalanced. Mine looks better without the flash on, probably, the picture didn't do it justice.

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

Ballsack is funny, Zako's Zippereater is second in that regard, but his design takes it. Fantastic.

[Madman914]

If I submit 10 drawings maybe they'll amount to one of Zako's. He truly lives up to his title.

[Obscurus Lupa]

I liked Spastic Surgeon and Teen Angst. :D

[Mockery]

Goddamn, you guys all rule. This is already proving to be one of our best contests! From MysticJoJo's real Madball creation (which, btw photographed just fine, I dunno what you're worrying about), to Madman914's seemingly endless arsenal of Madball ideas, to CodieKittie's hilarious little bees... I'm loving it all.

And remember everybody, while you guys might be judging these on artistic quality, myself and the other judges are judging them solely on humor and creativity, so it's anybody's game still.

I gotta say, this one is gonna be a bitch to vote on... and there's still roughly 25 days to go before it's over! :O

[Obscurus Lupa]

Oh yeah, I knew there was one I was forgetting that I liked! Inconvenient Truth was genius. :D

[Madman914]

Oh, I'm just getting started.

[MysticJoJo]

I'm going to try to make another one once the water in my pipes un-freezes. I can't paint with no little cup of water to rinse my brush, but I do have a couple more ideas..

[jared]

I like the ant. That's creative. No entries scoring much on humour, though. I thought of one where David Lynch is incarnated as a covered bridge and he's being savagely gangbanged by the sun and eternity; but I'm not sure how to represent that as a madball. So if anyone wants to steal that idea...

[Obscurus Lupa]

The Emotron design is nifty. I like the teeth. :D

[Obscurus Lupa]

Ha ha! The Baldwin was pretty funny. :D

[captain516]

awesome.

[Madman914]

Damn, that St.Nick Madball was so good I don't know if I can even post another one.

[jared]

Come on, don't let him frighten you. It'll be like those sports movies where the underdog wins in the end because he has determination and discipline and the rabbit is sleeping and having sex all the time. He might have artistic skills, but your ideas are good and moderately amusing sometimes.

[Obscurus Lupa]

Craterface made me sad. :( But nice job!

[MarioRPG]

I have no fucking idea how you will judge this, there are so many entries that I found geniunely funny, or cool.

[Mockery]

It's definitely gonna be a bitch... and there are still 15 days left to enter! :O

[Madman914]

So is the contest over now?

[Mockery]

Yeah it is, please give myself and the other judges a lil' time to cast our votes and decide on the winners. Thanks again to all of you who entered... it was definitely one of the best contests to date and it's gonna be a BITCH to judge!

[Madman914]

When will the results be out?

[Mockery]

This coming week we'll be posting the results. Thanks for being patient about it. :picklehat

[MysticJoJo]

I just got horn-head in the mail, along with some spiffy-keen stickers! So shiny...Thanks, RoG! Can't wait for your next contest!

[jared]

I just read my teabags: It is written in the wisdom of the tea of the bags that I shall win the next three contests.

[Slobulus]

I love squishing my own eyes out! Thanks a lot Mockery! :)

lol...you'll probably get a chuckle when I tell you that I actually scratched the damn pickle card and sniffed it only to realize "hey.. this dont smell like nuthin!" and finally read the back part. lol... Im sucha fool. But I loved it regardless.
