Two thoroughly humourless lols in a row…
Is someone trying to set a record?
It’s funnier that Tilde listings… but then most things are.
If you’re bored, why not go and shoot something… Schools are good for that
There are the neds….
Although, they’re more likely to shoot me and bury my corpse under a mountain of Buckfast bottles….
Perhaps I’d be better off being bored…
As a view on Life in general: I’m a great believer in the idea that ‘dull is good’ for the most part. ‘Exciting’ can be ok, but ‘interesting’ is usually bad…
dull = bleeeeeech
Interesting can be a bit odd but if it doesn’t kill you (like a ned) it’s better than squiggly tildes…
No, bleach makes your whites more vibrant!
An ancient Chinese curse says ‘may you live in interesting times.’
And so does Terry Pratchett.
I gotta love a Pratchett fan!…
Not true….the other one was funny.
I liked this one.
Me too. My dad used this very look on me many times. Usually the result would be us kids trying to summon silence from the abyss for the five seconds he gave us that stare before returning to our normal chaos.
I agree. I’m not sure why people don’t think that this is funny. I thought it was really funny <3 I guess you have to have a kind of dry sense of humor to think it’s funny.
he looks like he’s about to administer the ‘Baptist Pinch’ I used to get from my parents
Oh good gravy… that was MY parents!! :>
Did they reach between the seats to get the fat on your lower legs too? LOL.

“I TOLD you to BE QUIET while Daddy is DRIVING!” all said between gritted teeth, hehe.
*hed asplodes* We’re twins seperated at birth??
I used to get the Catholic School Nun Ruler treatment…
Nunzilla
I used to get the evil stare and the threat of the spatula…
My parents just popped in a video, and my brother and I were good for the ride. My generation was easier to parent, I guess.
I am of the opinion that this is a cop out to actual parenting. No offense to you personally, but I think the electronic babysitter has got to go. Reducing children to drooling idiots with the TV just creates people who:
A) May not listen to real authority when it’s presented, hence disrespect to teachers, etc
B) Causes kids to not want to read, and as a corollary, causes tv and video game addictions (the AMA has defined the condition now and applies it to kids)
C) Don’t learn how to parent themselves.
I am disappointed in my generation as parents. There are a few good ones left, but I see too many who let their kids run wild or cop out like this.
*applauds* *bows down* I’m not worthy!

I agree with everything you just said, Minerva. My poor daughter is in for it, and I’m sure she and I will have many fights over ‘well Timmy’s mom doesn’t make HIM do that!’ Ooooooooooh……….*remembers Mom’s wooden spoon*
Oooooh, I remember the wooden spoon too!
My mom broke it on my brother’s ass!
Gotta love those nostalgic tales of child abuse… still, you and bro get to pick the ‘care’ home… mom must hope ‘revenge’ isn’t a dish best served cold and as a surprise
Oh, I agree. Fortunately, I was a voracious reader as a kid, so I usually had my book in front of me and the TV as background noise. But I’m watching my little brother and sister grow up as slaves to the idiot box, and that’s a little sad. When I was my sister’s age, I was never seen without a book (and in fact, that’s pretty much true now). She’d rather watch Hannah Montana.
My stepkids are like that, but try to reverse the trends set by a neglectful mom in the every other weekend four days a month visitation times. We do a lot of tearing out of hair.
Quick way to cure that…cut the plug.
We arrive back at the same problem. Parents these days use the tv as a parenting tool. They don’t want to sit down and read to the kids or play a board game with them.
Since I seem to be one of few minors on here, I can speak from experience–I get home from school and barely see my parents the rest of the night. Dad usually has dinner ready when my mother, my brother, and I get there (since he’s self-employed), and sometimes we eat at the table together, but usually, my parents eat in one room, and my siblings and I in another. The TV is always on, either way. Then my brother and I go to our rooms (he’s got an Xbox 360 in his), and my little sister does her homework and plops down in front of the TV. I read and play online. I only ever see my parents if I have to get something signed for school. And, I mean, my parents and I don’t have a great relationship anyway, so I’m kind of glad. But still…I wish I did get along better with them.
I was raised by television.
There are no TVs in our house, and it’s
wonderful! Good shows will show up on
netflix anyway. And stuff like the debates
are easy to find on the net.
@ Kuromisa. That’s one end of the spectrum of the digital babysitter problem. Parents really SHOULD try to make some time for their kids. Play a game, take them to a family restaurant, go to the park. Even just sit at teh dinner table when everybody’s home, so that you know what’s going on with them. I know we’re all busy with working hard in this economy. Two incomes are necessary in most households. Families really need to try to be a FAMILY sometimes though. That’s a major leg of the foundation of our culture and values.
–
The other end of the spectrum is parents with little kids who come home stressed, pick up the kids from daycare, want time to themselves, so they plunk the kid in front of a tv or video game instead of relaxing by reading a book together or something. Then they wonder why the kids won’t listen to them.
me and my sibs were all raised by the box
my mom used turning it off as ONE form of punishment
not the ONLY form so we did in fact listen to her and
respected her
my dad never saw harm in tv
my sister is the youngest at 17 while me and my brother
are at our last teen years
we HARDLY watch tv anymore and i believe the box never
did harm. as a family we were/are close and watched tv
together at times
my parents mastered the art of multitasking and fit in family
outings ALONG with solo tv time for us (they blocked the
mature stuff until it was appropriate)
i learned from their mistakes and am still learning from their
triumphs so that i may become as good a parent
of course, thats just my experience ;]
I’m not saying I didn’t watch any tv as a kid. The difference in your example is that your parents watched it with you and also did other activities with you. i am talking about parents who don’t do ANY parenting to speak of. They just assume Blues Clues and Sesame Street will teach their kids what they need to know, and that they rarely even MONITOR what the kids are watching or what video games they are playing when they’re a little older as long as they stay out of the parents hair.
Everybody watches SOME tv. It’s about how much it dominates the rest of what you do in your home life. Your parents don’t sound like the type I’m referring to
ugh i think i know exactly what your talking about
despicable slobs >.<
and to all parent out there
sesame street has gotten a LOT worse now
i watched it the other day and was amazed at how commanding elmo can be to his appliances without a simple ‘thank you’ :/
I was lucky enough that both parents read TONS of books, and also that they had a TV with lousy reception (pre-cable days). So if there wasn’t anything on NBC, the only other option was to read a book, play a game, or go climb a tree.
I only got to see Sesame street when visiting the grandparents…and was really ticked off the summer of the Watergate hearings, because it pre-empted Sesame street. But oh, Barbara Jordan’s glorious voice still exists in my head!
holy crap i got this too! mostly in church though….
I was usually too busy throwing up or being a hollowed out blueish/greenish shell due to travel sickness to be a deliberate nuisance while in an vehicle… and I’d have given body parts to have been able to read in a car (I still don’t go far from home without a book)
Oh good gravy, you said “oh good gravy.” *facepalm* There was a time when I loved Rachel Ray but you just reminded my of why that love faded.
Loving Rachel Ray isn’t wholesome, Wholesome.
*yawn*
I WILL TURN THIS ELECTION AROUND, MISTER!!!
OK…That quip was worth a chuckle as a followup to the original caption.
This site seems to be more about making a political stance then about humor. This place needs to be a bit more even handed about who they jab and who they don’t. Comedy shouldn’t involve take sides.
We’ve been over this. The LOLs are submitted by users and then voted on. There don’t seem to be many submitted from the other side and therefor there aren’t many to vote for.
rember this site is international and whail the USA may be split 55 45 the rest of the world is more like 80 20 I find it hard to find a single person where I live who likes bush and there for by extention mcain
That’s kind of a retarded reason to hate a guy.
I think it’s implied that another republican is, and I don’t think it’s going out on a limb, likely to have similar policies to another republican.
That may be logical thinking, but WHY do people dislike Bush? Does the majority of the world dislike him because of his policies? Or do they think he started a war just for oil/national distraction?
Personally, I think he has more information for the reasons why this war was started, but that’s also why I don’t have power over the military.
Well, he did start his war for oil on trumped up or false intelligence and then attempted to “catapult the propaganda”…
*smiles innocently*
well both
we know sadam was not involved with 9/11 he had no WMD and we beleve that bush knew this too there was no real reasion to go to war in iraq especley in such a rush as we did and re resent the “if you are nit with us you are agenst us” asstude he took witch lead to our local goverment caveing in lieing to us and following him to a unnessercy war TBH we do not realy care what his real rwasion for war was but we are dam shue it was illegle. we also think that the rush to was followed by the lack of planning for it’s aftermath makes us think he is a gunho texen marshle wanter be with the subtley of a kick to the face.
and that is before we get to things like rendition filghts a smertile extridation policeys. and the hole axies of evle things
on a non TWOT side his attude of climate change the hole “I can do what /i like” sort of attude to trade agrements and the like
all in all bush is not realy liked this side of the pond and frankley anyboady who is in the same party as him is not geing to get a good start
Wow, And I thought I used a run on sentence earlier.
My cousins despised Bush when he first came to office because of his relentlessly pro-execution stance. The US may be all hot and bothered about abortion; but for most of Europe, THE immorality of the modern age is that we still execute criminals, rather than locking them up for the rest of their lives. So to them, electing Bush as president would be like Operation Rescue looking at a country who elected an abortionist as president.
sorry more explnation most pepol I know think that mcain is just bush 2.0 I am not realy shure I know if he has any diffrent forien/defence/TWOT policies than bush
But, McCain didn’t have Cheney talking in his ear, and he wouldn’t have to live up to Bush Sr.
Amen to that!!
We just have to wait for the Fairness Doctrine to be implemented and then you’ll HAVE to look at unfunny Conservative LOLs! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!
-
*poke poke* Minerva
Yawn.
Conservative and lol can go together in the same sentence?!?!
Evidently not so much. We’re still waiting for the jury for sure, but it’s not looking good for them. They didn’t even have much to say on the biden one yesterday.
Meh. Individuals may have fine humorous natures, but overall the right is pretty much without lols. Darby Connely writes Get Fuzzy and he puts right-wing shots across the bow that are dazzlingly funny, and his lefty shots cause me to fall down and wheeze with the laffings.
Although, in all fairness there’s a lot more Liberals then conservatives around here. I did my part though!
@Min
Based on the level of wit from the right of the aisle, I’d say we were waiting for a coroner, rather than a jury…
No, no.. it was the Conservative lols that kept this place going. It was the Liberal lols that made us zzzzzzzzz…
*puts on lecturing tone for xaviers sake* Now Froo, you know we were talking mostly about ownership imbalance and monopolies, not the FD. *lecture tone off*
very funny, frou! i lol’ed.
But how does one get to the vote page?
I’ve made some funny ones, but they never get to vote.
At least they were funny to me.
Erm, where is this vote page?
/me is such a lolz site n00b…
Wow do I feel foolish…
/me points to big giant “VOTE” button at the top of the page…
Depends. Is it a humour site or is it a satire site?
Humour is ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ or ‘Frasier’. Satire is ‘The Daily Show’ and ‘Colbert Report’…
To me, political humour is perforce satire, humour is mostly politically agnostic.
Splitting hairs to most people fester.
But I tend to agree.
How long will the self congratulations take ?
Is anyone else sick of Obama ? I’m glad he’s president but every American (Democrat) on the planet is so full of self congratulatory smugness, YOU ARE RUINING PUNDIT KITCHEN He’s a politican who has yet to do anything STOP LICKING HIS ARSE !
Hang on, I’m going to go drive the waaahmbulance around to the front.
Can I do the siren?
*WHAAAaaaaaAAAAAhhhhhhHAHHHHHHHhhhh*
“Whackwhackwhack..WHACK!”
Sounds like my cat. She also says, “Prowl now!”
huh. my cat sounds like she’s saying,
STFU and make some funnies already!!
er, pdq, that was not aimed at you, lol, but at the whiny one.
*snork* But you DID get me moving making lolz!
So don’t just sit there, come up with teh funneh! Make us smile at your favorite right winger – c’mon, I dare ya!
But he gets at least 100 days into office before that stops. You just have to let it run it’s course. After all, the Democrats have been waiting 8 years for this day, and the country has been waiting longer then that for a minority to win. While I am not a supporter of Obama, let them have their day, they deserve it.
May I do shoulder-rolls on your ankle and purr?
You wouldn’t catch me pushing you away!
Welcome back eddie. BTW, I’m tattling. DWN took your stapler. I defended your right to keep the sequin jumpsuit though as it can be your logic league uniform.
YAY! But I would like that stapler, you never know when I might have to staple someone’s mouth shut..
-
Logic League to the rescue!
I like how his expression matches the caption here…sort of an unholy combination of pissed-off and tired. Maybe the puppy will calm the kids down.
” Hey! I bought this presidency and you in the media will do as you are damn well told to do !”
Rimfire, why don’t you go buy a clue? See siren sound above? It applies to you.
Whac….hold on…You ALMOST said it, but you are safe- for now!
in soviet russia ..
. . . “back there” makes me come?
*snerk*
*puts down coffee cup*
“If I have to come back there, so help me, God…..”
must be Republicans on that plane
This is why Republicans get all the lols. Democrats aren’t funny.
just wandering if this pos has lazer hair removal for that huge ass mole or not? he is one nasty ass lookin bastard bwahaha
Bring it, love to kick your Muslim ass.
