I'm very disappointed #17 (I think) didn't make the cut...as off-color as it was, it was hilarious.
Oh and thanks for finally getting a readable format on the voting. :)

None of these really jump out at me... I don't know if I'm going to vote.

looks like they went back and censored all the risqué entries.
i guess it's the right of Wowinsider to exercise discretion when it comes to dirty words like c*ck or r*d. But if you ask me, they were asking for it by posting that picture.
maybe i just have poor taste?
Angus Sep 21st 2007 9:59AM
Agree with #1 and 3.
That was THE BEST entry.
If it had been here it would have had over 50% of the votes by now.
Heck, it wasn't even dirty language, just so well written to make it seem so.
This contest fails.
Zerbe Sep 21st 2007 10:02AM
I dont like any of them.
Boowat Sep 21st 2007 10:11AM
they all suck tbh. well, i wont vote
the best one was "(forgot the name) loves fishing with his cock out"
think it was the first comment on the competition too
Juneau Sep 21st 2007 10:17AM
Yeah, was definitely hoping for the "[Name] loves fishing... with his cock out" to be up there. All of those entries suck. Especially the seventh one, it's a ripoff of an ingame joke for goodness sake.

The one about the hydra dangling a gnome on the banks of the river in the hopes of catching a troll or a tauren made me laugh out loud. These entries are lame, so no vote from me.
Mixx Sep 21st 2007 10:18AM
Sorry but I have to call bullshit on this one - how #1 could not be included is beyond me. Personally I think they should have just ended it as soon as that was posted. None of these choices are even amusing......
Yaphi Sep 21st 2007 10:18AM
No vote, these are horrible picks
Smurk Sep 21st 2007 10:21AM
I think that one finalist would've done better to simply submit "HOW I FISH FOR CHICKEN?"
Granted, I can't vote for someone named 'DJScythe17' either way.
ben1778 Sep 21st 2007 10:22AM
These are not very good picks. I'm not voting for any of them this time. Just an idea, but DO NOT pick quotes that are slightly altered quotes from movies, songs, common jokes, or books.
Maybe out of all those entries you shouild give greater consideration to entries that are at least ATTEMPTING to be original.
gundamxzero Sep 21st 2007 10:24AM
All of these suck.
ErsatzPotato Sep 21st 2007 10:43AM
"Just an idea, but DO NOT pick quotes that are slightly altered quotes from movies, songs, common jokes, or books."
Seconded. ftw/ftl, Fight Club, etc, etc, etc. I like to think of them as Terminator Entries. "I'll be back...and bore you next time!"
Bah. Why bother, they'll still get votes every time. So will the Guy #1 says Guy #2 says Guy #3 says.
(I realize my entry wasn't funny; couldn't boil it down to a punchy line.)
Paw Sep 21st 2007 11:03AM
I have to agree that these are all pretty weak. I think I put up 4 or 5 entries, and the one I literally threw down as a joke made the list.
(The original past was something like this:
"1##. I haven't seen a Fight Club reference yet, so here goes.
..."
I really was trying to be sarcastic...yet 89 people, so far, have voted for it. How very sad.
furio Sep 21st 2007 11:09AM
Lets all vote for the worst entry up there. That'll teach'em. ;)
Seppe Sep 21st 2007 11:30AM
Aww, come on, mine was crap. All about Benny and his phallic poultry..
Patrick G. Sep 21st 2007 11:26AM
Who ever is picking the winners is a bloody retatrd. Some of them dont even make sense! like why the gnome cross the road. My fing god! Oh stupid can you get for a caption, but yet make it to the votes?!
Wulfhere Sep 21st 2007 11:29AM
Once again the Wowinsider commenters prove themselves to be spoiled, whiny little bitches (woohoo, look, I used a swear word, I'm funny and edgy) who sincerely need to work on their entitlement issues.
I'm hoping every sexual image ever left in the comments gets immediately deleted now just to irritate you guys.
John Sep 21st 2007 11:31AM
Booo.
None of the good ones are here. I will not vote this time.
