So? It’s still funny to a lot of us. Why waste your time explaining something we already know? We get it, you and other supports of McCain don’t think jokes making fun of his age are amusing. We do. Go make your own LOLs if you don’t think this one is funny.
Commenting is what I was doing, in case you hadn’t noticed. I’m not the one whining about the picture, so the whaaambulance must be for DRH, right? As you are obviously mentally challenged and have a hard time with reading comprehension, let me spell it out for you, slowly: We get it. You don’t like it when we make fun of politicians you like. This is a site for making fun of politicians. You don’t need to mention that it gives you a sad when we insult or ridicule the politicians you like. We already know that. That is why we are insulting them. When you say things like, “That’s not funny!” all it tells us is that we’ve done a good job. You are actually rewarding us when you complain.
I voted for ‘Bush is Stoopid’, so that must have been on there. And not all of my own LOLs seem to show up on the voting page (including some that have zero political relevance) – I’m not convinced that’s evidence of management censorship .
The Pro-Obama management live in the same underground volcano lair as The “Liberul Media!!!” the “Gay Agenda!!!!” and the “Global warming conspiracy!!!!” Oh and the Joker and the Riddler at weekends, they’ve got a timeshare.
This isn’t a joke about old people, someone in the media actually asked Obama that question once. He didn’t answer, and I don’t blame him. I don’t want to be thinking about the undergarmets of either candidate.
The idea that this isn’t an “old people” joke kinda implies that you don’t get it.
Anyhoo, Obama’s answer was, amazingly, MORE embarrassing :
Q: So, boxers or briefs? Bill Clinton said he wore boxers in a 1992 interview with MTV.
A: I don’t answer those humiliating questions. But whichever one it is, I look good in ‘em!
Well, now I get what the “depends” entendre is. Still *yawn* to the joke, *yawn* at the media for asking stupid questions, and a big *yawn* at McCain supporters that are so humorless they can’t take a joke about their candidate. I can take a joke about mine if it’s a good one.
Um…. I didn’t say that I “couldn’t take” a joke about McCain… it’s that, in general, you’ll only like these lolCains if you have ideological reasons. The text has very little to do with the picture. You seem to agree, based on your “yawn”.
BTW, it’s silly to lecture others on being “humorless” when you didn’t get the joke in the first place.
My *yawn” is more that I don’t think it was all that funny, as I said before, I don’t really find the undergarments of a candidate a source of much interest, even if they’re adult diapers. Everytime a lolMcCain of any variety comes up, people on here either seem to whine about ageism, or go into anti-”loltard” rants, indicating utter lack of sense of humor. If it didn’t happen every single time, I’d give allowances for just a differing sense of humor.
Who’s “whining about ageism”? I’m merely pointing out that the Dem folks will automatically like anything that says Bush is “stupid” or that McCain is “old”.
Creativity or humor seem to have little to do with it.
Again, you didn’t get the joke ’till I ’splained it to you, so maybe you should cut down on the winging about how others are “humorless”?
Thank you. The whole point of this sight is being irreverent or even disrespectful. Those who wish to are free to make all the macros poking fun at Obama that they want.
I imagine what gets cut is disgusting and offensive. Were yours disgusting and offensive? Make them FUNNY. If they make you laugh and want to show your mom, Rather than make you rub your hands in glee thinking “THAT’LL show those libtard bastards,”, then they probably won’t make it.
Please to explain.
Also question for supporters of McCain: If we can’t make fun of him being old, can we make fun of him looking like pop-eye? Or that his head looks like candyfloss being spun round a giant peanut? (That last one might be a bit about the oldness again).
Hmmm…. interesting that you can’t seem to get the concept that humor should be, um, funny. Redundant, uncreative pap doesn’t do it for me. Sorry. I’m curious what “truth” is being gotten “close” to, in your opinion….?
It is!
Remember Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman? Redd Foxx on Sanford and Son? Two birds with one stone, there.
Of course, I’m sort of dating myself with these references, but I think laughing at the aches and pains and indignities of getting older is what makes it bearable.
C’mon, man! If you want your posts to make it out of voting page limbo, drop the obvous or obscure and look for the humor! Surely you are capable; you’ve given me a lot of laughs lately!!
I’ve seen at least three “Bush is stoopid” jokes on the front page.
It’s pretty clear that being original or funny has nothing to do with getting on the front page. It’s all about praising Obama or attacking his opponents.
All of your pictures are in LOLspeak and even if they weren’t all you manage to do is call Obama a Monkey and a flip-flopper. I’m pretty sure PK isn’t going to let you insult an entire race by calling them monkeys… And flip-flopper is sooooo 2004. Besides, McSame is more of a flip-flopper than Obama, so it doesn’t even make sense.
Ah, that’s what I was looking for. Posting the URLs of the ones which didn’t make it helps us decide for ourselves whether it didn’t make it as some sort of conspiracy or whether it just lacked spark.
i believe there was. and you went on a tirade about how he was not black.
debating the details of a comedic website is about as useful as eating pennies to make sense. it’s just pointless crap in the end.
woooo obama is a multicoloured unicorn who punches babies
john mccain is a common house troll who built an ark once
hilary flipped off boxes of kittens
bush loves lamp
I submitted the above captioned photo, and yes, I know that the joke is stale and unoriginal. I also couldn’t quickly find a good pic of McCain that might match the caption better (although I did find one where he looks a lot like Popeye!). But making the macro amused me. I was somewhat surprised to see it made it up to the front.
Jeez, many of you guys fuss too much about a mildly amusing joke. Try to enjoy a bit of silliness without getting all worked up. Save your energy for more worthwhile things instead of expending it on tearing apart a facetious joke.
You see this is exactly why most of these are not funny. You pick a lame joke then slap any old picture that does not have anything to do with the joke. At least the Bush handshake one was funny, and it was funny because it made sense.
Obama is not only a Socialist, who wants Americans to hand over their hard earned cash, in a grandiose scheme to redistribute America’s wealth … he spent 20 years listening to the anti-American, racist sermons of black liberation pastor Jeremiah Wright, which were based upon Marxist ideology … along with his wife and two children … and they still attend the same church, listening to the same anti-American trash!
Font sucks, but I lol’d.
AAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
it’s funny because he’s old
Notice how these “McCain is old” things rarely have anything to do with the picture?
So? It’s still funny to a lot of us. Why waste your time explaining something we already know? We get it, you and other supports of McCain don’t think jokes making fun of his age are amusing. We do. Go make your own LOLs if you don’t think this one is funny.
Sounds like someone needs a waaahmbulance… sorry, but “comments” are for,um, commenting.
Commenting is what I was doing, in case you hadn’t noticed. I’m not the one whining about the picture, so the whaaambulance must be for DRH, right?

It kinda seems like Seth wants to be able to comment on whatever fool thing comes to your mind, while cryin’ when others comment about … the picture.
Good luck with that, Sethie!
Yeah, but see his previous comment but one. Infinity.
We do make our own lols.
But most of them never even get to the voting stage. They’re filtered out by the pro-Obama management of this blog.
Your evidence?
URLs take a while to get through the spam filter.
Scroll down to GomerPhyl’s comment below. The URL for my LOLs is in there.
Of the twelve listed, only one made it to the voting page — the “Half honkey — all donkey”.

Weren’t macros launched from a picture of a cat asking for cheezburgers, even though the pic had nothing to do with cheezburgers at all?
AND HOW!
yaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwnnnn……
Step 1 : find random picture of McCain
Step 2 : find text of random old joke about old people
Step 3 : combine
This isn’t a joke about old people, someone in the media actually asked Obama that question once. He didn’t answer, and I don’t blame him. I don’t want to be thinking about the undergarmets of either candidate.
The idea that this isn’t an “old people” joke kinda implies that you don’t get it.

The text has very little to do with the picture.
Then why don’t you like the one about the President and the handshake? It is entirely about the picture! You can’t have it both ways, dude.
My *yawn” is more that I don’t think it was all that funny, as I said before, I don’t really find the undergarments of a candidate a source of much interest, even if they’re adult diapers. Everytime a lolMcCain of any variety comes up, people on here either seem to whine about ageism, or go into anti-”loltard” rants, indicating utter lack of sense of humor. If it didn’t happen every single time, I’d give allowances for just a differing sense of humor.
So, you’d see the same thing if there was ever a lol about Obama on the front page.
But the site’s bias ensures that there won’t be one.
Hey EP I got a LoLbama on the voting page!
http://mine.icanhascheezburger.com/view.aspx?ciid=1438877
Great stuff!
And, incredibly, not that funny…. so suprising, that….
Who’s “whining about ageism”? I’m merely pointing out that the Dem folks will automatically like anything that says Bush is “stupid” or that McCain is “old”.
Creativity or humor seem to have little to do with it.
Again, you didn’t get the joke ’till I ’splained it to you, so maybe you should cut down on the winging about how others are “humorless”?
clearly all that yawing is what’s making you an airhead.
Nice one, dearie, but if you shoot me down for that one, you’ve got to shoot down a lot of pro-mccainies on this thread too.
meh, none of them are my candidates, i vote for puns, double entendres
and metaphors!
That’s a lie and you know it!!
you forgot #4: PROFIT!!!
Come to think of it “Yes we Can!” is a perfect slogan for the Underpants Gnomes….
Wah wah wahhhhhhhh
-or-
Badum tchhh
Funny!
*yawn*
At least make it funny
This is great!
Look at those puffy cheeks!
I wonder if they’re pouches for him to store some of the campaign donations he recieves like some sort of republichipmunk?
I am voting for McCain and a totally LOL’d!
Disrespectful, yes. But when have macros ever been respectful of anything or anyone?
Thank you. The whole point of this sight is being irreverent or even disrespectful. Those who wish to are free to make all the macros poking fun at Obama that they want.
We do, but they get censored before they reach the voting stage.
way too true…..
Yeah… such is life in the Socialist States of Obama
Then make them funnier.
Some of the options on the voting page that take shots at Obama are just dumb. Shiny references just don’t do it – for me, anyway.
Make fun of his ears or the way he dresses or his spindly frame or that he’s from Chicago – SOMETHING.
And it took a friend of mine WEEKS and about 40 submissions before anything showed up on the front page. Patience, grasshopper.
It isn’t just that they aren’t showing up on the front page.
Anti-Obama LOLs don’t even get to the voting page, where anyone can vote on them.
Ah, but they do. I failed a crap-ton of “ooh, look at the shiny” posts a while back. They weren’t yours, were they? Cuz if they were, they sucked.
Of course they weren’t mine.
I’ve submitted 12 lols, and only one has made it to the voting page.
Anti-Obama lols get cut out by the site owners.
I imagine what gets cut is disgusting and offensive. Were yours disgusting and offensive? Make them FUNNY. If they make you laugh and want to show your mom, Rather than make you rub your hands in glee thinking “THAT’LL show those libtard bastards,”, then they probably won’t make it.
FUNNY.
What you imagine has nothing to do with reality.
You still have the URLs, right. Are you allowed to post them in comments as an example for us to see?
I have, but URLs take a while to get through the spam filter.
Scroll down to GomerPhyl’s comment below. The URL for my LOLs is in there.
Of the twelve listed, only one made it to the voting page — the “Half honkey — all donkey”.
aaaw the internets not fair. please submit your complaints to the tubes department. a lolnician will be with your shortly.
Please to explain.
Also question for supporters of McCain: If we can’t make fun of him being old, can we make fun of him looking like pop-eye? Or that his head looks like candyfloss being spun round a giant peanut? (That last one might be a bit about the oldness again).
L, that pop-eye remark made my afternoon, because it’s so true!
“his head looks like candyfloss being spun round a giant peanut”
BWA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
that’s almost as good as Crotchwaffle….
I’m beginning to think we can’t make fun of McCain because the humor is a little too close to the truth.
Or they don’t get it.
Truly folks, if you don’t like the macros, go make your own! It’s very easy and a lot of fun!
We do, but they get censored.
Some people just can’t take a joke.
Hmmm…. interesting that you can’t seem to get the concept that humor should be, um, funny. Redundant, uncreative pap doesn’t do it for me. Sorry. I’m curious what “truth” is being gotten “close” to, in your opinion….?
That McCain is old. You seem pretty sensitive to it.
I bet a few Obama supporters would be sensitive if there were jokes about him being black.
But picking on old people, that’s funny.
It is!
Remember Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman? Redd Foxx on Sanford and Son? Two birds with one stone, there.
Of course, I’m sort of dating myself with these references, but I think laughing at the aches and pains and indignities of getting older is what makes it bearable.

It’s pretty clear that being original or funny has nothing to do with getting on the front page. It’s all about praising Obama or attacking his opponents.
It’s about making other human beings laugh at something incongruous or absurd. Man, you just want to whine, don’t you?
kinda sounds like you’re doin’ some serious whining here, grunts.
You can bitch about how stupid the pics on the front page are when you submit one yourself that’s funny.
http://mine.icanhascheezburger.com/pictures-by-EvilPundit/lolz
All of your pictures are in LOLspeak and even if they weren’t all you manage to do is call Obama a Monkey and a flip-flopper. I’m pretty sure PK isn’t going to let you insult an entire race by calling them monkeys… And flip-flopper is sooooo 2004. Besides, McSame is more of a flip-flopper than Obama, so it doesn’t even make sense.
Thanks for providing the link so people can see that you lied about my pictures.
(1) They are not all in LOLspeak.
(2) I do not call Obama a monkey.
(3) He is a flip-flopper. If ‘McCain is old’ jokes can pass, then so should these.
Only one of these made it to the voting page where readers could actually make up their own minds. All the rest were censored.
I like how it says honkey but you jump to the conclusion that it says monkey since it is a black person pictured. Racist.
Ah, that’s what I was looking for. Posting the URLs of the ones which didn’t make it helps us decide for ourselves whether it didn’t make it as some sort of conspiracy or whether it just lacked spark.
Thank you.

better now?
“as useful as eating pennies to make sense.”
Can’t say I’ve ever heard that one before, nice.
Oh, and I would LOVE to see the picture that can use the caption “Bush loves lamp”. Come on people, make it work!
I submitted the above captioned photo, and yes, I know that the joke is stale and unoriginal. I also couldn’t quickly find a good pic of McCain that might match the caption better (although I did find one where he looks a lot like Popeye!). But making the macro amused me.

What fuss? For that matter… what amusement?
The Replicans are just upset because they can’t make funny.
Who’s upset? I just think what passes for “funny” on the Dem side is so… dull.
The interesting bit is how this gets folks like you in a perfect tizzy.
This dull LOL got 77 comments. Should have gotten none.
Obama is not only a Socialist, who wants Americans to hand over their hard earned cash, in a grandiose scheme to redistribute America’s wealth … he spent 20 years listening to the anti-American, racist sermons of black liberation pastor Jeremiah Wright, which were based upon Marxist ideology … along with his wife and two children … and they still attend the same church, listening to the same anti-American trash!
BATTYBWOI!
