Copy & paste this:



Meh….
Second!
Is this from the she/he/it that must not be named lest we summon it? Really boring. My caption for the second one (“Congress cheers Obama promising to continue their healthcare benefits.”) was funnier, and it wasn’t that funny!
I don’t even get the facebook one. What’s that supposed to mean?
Dunno. Facebook is the ebil.
no it’s worse, it’s socialist…..
“Fvck you…. fvck you…. ummm fvck you.. and fvck you….. fuvck that guy, and fvck you again…” Not you mabs, I was rehashing Obama’s speech (per J. Stewart.)
I laughed my a$$ off at that. Comedy gold. GOLD!!
PB has taken the quote completely out of context. After all that Jon Stewart also said “Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu(k you”. Changes the whole meaning of the speech.
Jacka$$
In real life, Facebook is a bunch of smartly-dressed middle-aged folk all trying to shake hands with each other?
Quite.
Oh I thought it was a place for pedafiles to find “friends”…
Hey! I’m not a pedophile! I just like being friends with them. Sheesh.
no, no, no, that’s myspace where the pedo’s roam
I’m not on Facebook but I thought it was obvious. You’re surrounded by tons of people who are either spamming your wall or giving “thumbs up” likes on random status updates.
The concept being you’re surrounded by friends but given that the average user has 120 “friends” its really more like contacts, IMHO. =)
It’s a play on the whole “Friending” thing. So it is saying that that is what friend requests look like in real life.
Wow. These aren’t even remotely funny.
Well, they are remote…
I’d like them to be even more remote, as in not on the front page.
I hear Siberia is lovely this time of year.
they are remote from funny…
it might help if they were more remote from our eyes.
Wow. Who picked the winners? A blind person?
That’s insulting to the blind.
Umm, the last one isn’t even captioned.
I think that makes it funnier.
I thought that too – it’s a comic.
Worst lols……EVER!
I don’t know about all that.. Surely there have been worse ones. Right guys?
…..
Guys?
Firemen and kittens come to mind.
I like firemen. And kittens. Not on Punditkitchen though.
PK needs more Firewomen pics IMO… cause ya know… women save kittehs too!
My favorite is still the hotty straddling the large bomb. Can’t beat that!!! Boobies and explosives, woooo hoooo!
HOLY CRAP! Where did the creepy looking ewok pic come from???
REALLY?! I have to clear my cache AGAIN?!
actually ctrl+f5 bypasses cache and re-caches the new avatar.
or shift+f5 for us non-IE users
oops my bad, I meant shift+refresh, ctrl+f5 is the keyboard shortcut
Why couldn’t you have said that before I cleared my cache?
We bow before your IT expertise. Or would you rather have the code to the Nudist Fallout Shelter and Nuclear Repository?
Nudist Fallout Shelter and Nuclear Repository? I’m so in!!
There was a good fireman/kitten one on lolcats a few days ago….actually made me chuckle! I was shocked. Shocked and amazed.
EWAdams?!?!?! Possibly….
At least his can incite chaos… this incites a whole lot of… well… I walk into the comment section and it feels like Seattle…..
*confused* Overcast, drizzling, lots of coffee shops and fresh salmon?
What, you don’t see the similarities?
Doritos?
Umm…I LIKE Seattle.
I do too, but I like making jokes about things I like… remember the ISO debacle?
WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST SPECIALISTS!?! THEY ARE GODS!!!!!!!!!ELEBENTY!!!!
Zzzzzzzz. Sorry, put to sleep.
Last pic. “To the left, to the left. Everything you own in a box to the left.”
Very mediocre. Contests like these never seem to work.
This has to be a joke. Those aren’t even funny. There have got to be better ones.
It’d be pretty funny if these really ARE the best. Maybe that’s the joke.
I had better ones than these. Seriously, these stink.
My foot is more funny and less stinky than these.
Saying your foot is less stinky than these lols isn’t really giving your feet much credit though DU
Yeah, DU. You might want to have your feet looked at in this case.
No one cares what you think.
Not even his psychiatrist.
But he’s making a killing off him!
Not to mention a book deal; ‘The Man who Mistook Caligula for a Liberal’
And the sequel “Interview With a Bathsh*t Fundie”!
The prequel: “The Making of a One-client Business”
The pre-prequel: “The Story of Greed: How I died on the inside, a story of defeat and denial as a human being” whoa, thats deep
Pthbthbthbtlbtlbt!
Phblttttt!
Whatever happened to that Roman Empire?
Call Glen Beck, i think one of his listeners has strayed.
Apparently nothing. Didn’t you notice that it used the present tense?
Pffft. Jesus doesn’t love you.
Oops. I mean Pbbbblltt!!!
pssssst. spelling weird noises: you’re doing it wrong
Here we use the accepted Swedish spelling.
What did out ever do to you that you want to throw liberals on it?
Oh, and no one cares what you think.
I’m not exactly sure how liberals are like the Roman Empire.
We feed our kitties gold-plated kibble.
I peel the plating off mine first and pawn it since I’m on welfare.
in his example, i think it’s more of an anti- incumbent psyche, with a very deviant way of referencing a delight in the murder of said incumbents.
‘What have the liberals ever done for us?’
They’re doing nothing and changing everything!
like my girlfriend(s)
meat to reply to Agent Maxwelll
Which comment was that? Hehe.
And if only more of the replies I got were meat, I’d be a happy man.
I have spam and corned beef from the fallout shelter.
Thanks!
*snags the corned beef and readies the sauerkraut*
Reuben sandwich my dear?
You better not have any Russian dressing in that fallout shelter.
Hey! No commie stuff in my shelter. I’m worried about some of the weapons, though. Is it normal for them to glow in the dark?
What about a specific Russian dressing in the fallout shelter?
*peeks back inside* Hey, not bad. *pokes head back out* I’ll be right back. *slams door*
Just for imaginations sake, can we say that this is a nudist fallout shelter?
With DU, Shortright, and Nucky about… it’s bound to be…. co-naked? Is that the word?
Clothes are not even allowed in this shelter, they take up precious room needed for food and condoms and whips and ginger….
You know, all these nuclear weapons are taking up a lot of space…do you suppose we should sell some of them?
I hear there are some third world countries in South America that could use some nukes.
We’ll take them… of course it’s just for disposal purposes, you can trust us, really. We have a leaf on our flag who are we going to hurt?
You want to trade? Someone ate all the s’mores supplies.
Hey, don’t look at me! I only ate the chocolate! I have no idea what happened to the graham crackers or marshmallows.
Deal!
*Pulls out crates of chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers*
Kindly ship the nukes to: 666 Mount Evile, Canada…
*thought bubble*
This is worse than the Russians tricking us in to giving them the secrets to nuclear weapons for a few gallons of vodka
*/thought bubble*
Are you implying that I like to get naked? *starts putting clothes back on*
I warned Vlad that wasn’t safe around here…
Ew. (Vlad is my son’s gchat name.)
Ew… Sorry, my bad.
‘sokay, you couldn’t have known.
Phhbbbbbbbllt!
Where’s the funny?
Just… terrible…
For the woman yelling, mine (which is a little too long for my tastes) was better, “WHOO! Take your shirt off like in Hawaii!”
See, now THAT’S funny.
Phblbhlblbttt!
Nurse! The meds are not working. Can we get a straitjacket over here please?
I never thought I’d say this, but it looks like a job for Nurse Ratched.
Ummmmm….okay.
Anyone else thinking that someone needs to try reading the parts of the Bible that say things like “judge not, lest you bring judgement on yourself” again?
Anyone else hear anything besides “Wah wah wah wah”?
I thought I was hearing blah blah blah I suck blah blah blah I make conservatives look bad blah blah blah God Bless me and my kind and no one else… Amen.
I’m running the “confuse the fvck out of them by attacking them with their own weapons and knowing them better” approach. It usually works.
Paws that wasn’t to you.. that was to the person writing this.
It wasn’t taken personally; I was explaining the tactic in the hopes I could find a couple more people who could and would use it.
Ok, good, because I was echoing you not mocking you
You mean like “love one another as I have loved you”? And “let he who is without sin cast the first stone”? Yeah, I think that too.
)
But mostly I find this type of person is not interested in having any sort of rational debate on the subject, so I have refrained from making the point. Good luck with it though, paws, I’m right behind you (with a pitchfork, just in case the rational argument doesn’t win out!
Pthbthbthbbblllttt!
If you’re an example of the sort of people who will be in heaven, then I don’t want to go. And I never ate a baby in my life.
Why would eating babies preclude anybody from going to heaven? Many species eat their young and, having seen some examples of the future human generation, I don’t blame them.
Fair point.
*fetches knife and fork*
I’m sooo confused! Am I missing something? Is this all part of the same conversation? My brain hurts.
Yes, someone was moderated, which means their inflammatory comment was removed. When that happens, the nesting gets all screwy.
thank you for explaining, i thought the meds were wearing off
Wow. These are not funny at all.
Pthbthbthbbblllttt!
And Jesus thinks you’re an a$$hole too.
rofl
I like the last one
These pictures are clearly photoshopped; if this really was a picture of Congress Queen Sheila Jackson Lee would be in the picture somewhere.
Wow. Looks like our least favorite fundamentalist got moderated with extreme prejudice.
But he even said that he wasn’t spamming!!11!!1!
And I just mentioned his NAME in a post half an hour ago and that’s come back ‘awaiting moderation’. That’s what I call extreme!
Hmmm.. I tried saying the “I” word.. And that’s being moderated.. then I said something and spelled the “f” word my usual way and the “s” word with a “!” instead of the “i” and spelled the “I” word all spaced out l i k e t h i s and it was still moderated. I are confused.
We’re all going to have to play nicely. No more naughty naughty words. We’ll have to think of some euphemisms!
*gets out his pink oboe*
Now I have to sound all proper saying gosh darn and shoot?! WTF?!
Oh noes! I loathe word based censoring.
Me too, but it’s kinda funny that I o a n n e s is being moderated as a word itself.. LOL
Ask and ye shall receive.
Did you complain, Mabs? I must say I find ‘he who shall not be named for fear of moderation’ funnier that most of the lols. I know the poor sap thinks his periodic flogging by PK regulars is a form of holy martyrdom, but still…
Well done, mabs. Maybe he’ll stay gone this time since they’re even moderating his name.
Well, I mentioned his blog, based on what you said. (I was scared to look.
)
…
Memo to self: Don’t make mabs irritated.
No kidding, Danbala. How many does this make now?
*whistles innocently while cleaning shotgun* You know, it’s not the size of the gun that counts….”
Pain what pain? Like giving us more than 3 captions a day might cause irregularity?
