Don't forget -- voting closes on Sunday, December 2nd, 2007 at 11:59 PM EST, so be sure to get those votes in! Good luck, everyone!
| Throw it again! Come on, throw it again! | |
|---|---|
| I can haz nimbus 2000? | |
| Time to clean up Barrens Chat once and for all! | |
| *burp* | |
| Wisp: Um... I do believe that's my... Shaman: Grrrr... Wisp: Right then... I'll just wait. | |
| Now you listen here! If you wanna see this mount back in one piece, you're gonna stop with the commands and go tame me a mate. | |
| This is the sole reason why witches have cats, not dogs. | |
| As an apology for having Dual Wield as a talent for so long, Blizzard has added the bonus hidden talent "fetch" to the mysterious Ghost Wolf tree. Soon to be added are the "Army of Fleas" DoT... (see below) | |
| Ok, first you have me attack people on command. NOW you want me to clean up around the hut too. My loyalty level ain't that high. | |
| I traveled halfway across Azeroth to get this thing, now please, just GIVE ME MY WATER TOTEM! |
[Edit] The poll doesn't seem to like extremely long entries, so this is the full version of the "Ghost Wolf tree" caption above:
As an apology for having Dual Wield as a talent for so long, Blizzard has added the bonus hidden talent "Fetch" to the mysterious Ghost Wolf tree. Soon to be added are the "Army of Fleas" DoT and an ability that allows them to "empty their mana pool" onto an adjacent unsuspecting victim, thereby increasing the victim's casting time and making their robes a little wet. Blizzard expects to then nerf these talents after everyone rolls Shaman.

Yea you enable your new little comment moderation, yet those stars mean nothing right? Just asking since I had one of maybe 6 with 3 stars, cause people liked the comment, yet you leave it out of the top 10? GG to this site, last time i'll be visiting.

They probably didn't get the reference. I knew it was probably a really good movie reference of some sort. Once someone explained it to me I knew it was gold. Sorry!

lolcats + Harry Potter... epic fail. It makes me die a little on the inside. Mine wasn't great I admit, but Shaun of the Dead > Harry Potter.

While I don't think all of those finalists suck... why is "I can has [whatever]" a finalist literally every time? Those ones suck.
Mort Nov 30th 2007 10:59AM
They are a finalist every time because the idiot who posts them seems to be the winner every time (which would make him/her less of an idiot overall, but still an idiot for posting them).

So *burp* gets a top 10?
WTF are you guys binge drinking when you pick these?
Not to sound ceonceited, but a refernce to a torch bearer for the Azerothian Olympics is better than a freakin *burp*
That took a lot of thought
*burp*

honestly... army of darkness? cult classics are not as widely acclaimed as fans think. It's awesome that people enjoyed yours, but ultimately its only "awesome" to people who have seen the movie and enjoyed the movie. I personally have not, but when I do i'll appreciate your caption. WoWInsider clearly picks captions that are Firstly audience penetrating, and second, funny. They pick them for all audiences, which means they choose to be inclusive to younger senses of humor, thus "May I can haz a" jokes. Go start your own caption contest.

Votes for "I can has" captions operate under the same assmuption as Family Guy, in that people feel gratified for simply getting a reference, and so cleverness or originality in a joke is moot.

If the caption is too big to fit in the blood poll listing, it's too big to be a bloody caption. A caption is not a *paragraph*.

"I can haz nimbus 2000?"
currently winning? OH COME ON! That's horrible :'(
Raegn Nov 30th 2007 2:13PM
How exactly are the finalists chosen? Out of all the entries, there were definitely funnier ones than a couple listed in the voting options.
Bunkai Nov 30th 2007 3:21PM
For the record... I did NOT vote for "I can haz..."
Zegim Dec 1st 2007 12:24AM
I usually don't post to say "wow, captions suck!" but, well, this time it's hard not to.

How about having 5 good comments instead of 5 good and 5 not so good comments to vote for.
