First, I am. Change we need, Obama is.
second
Evil he is- I feel the Dark Side in him, I do.
“Feel the Dark side in him, I do” it is. “I feel the Dark side in him, I do” it is not. Failed Yoda grammar you have. A nerd, I am
for me you will vote.
Shouldn’t it be ‘Vote for me, you will’?
is there a yoda to english grammar-inator online somwhere?
YES! There is a yoda widget. Or, A yoda widget, there is.
It’s very, very basic… Just make sure the verb is the last word of your sentence (i.e. I am going out “translates” to: going out i am) last verbs go…. see
Yoda Engrish, you will have!
i think it’s “for me, vote you will”
Hey, how about if everyone stops freaking out over what is the correct Yoda grammar?
Actually it would be “The dark side in him, I sense.” Jedi feel the force in themselves, and sense it in others. So… how big of a nerd am I?
Not any bigger than I am…….my daughter’s name is Leia
I honestly chose it because it’s a pretty name…….and I’m a geek, lol. I really didn’t name her after the Princess, but try telling people that!
God.. try having the name Vader. All I get is “Khhhhrrrrr, Hahhhhhw, Khhhhhrrrrrrr, Hahhhhhhw.
Is that a surname or something, because I can’t imagine parents so cruel to name their kids that.
There was a kid in my cousin’s graduating class that is named Luke Sky Walker.
Everybody laughed when they read his name.
My stepson’s middle name is Anakin (yes, his mother is an even bigger Star Wars geek than I am, which I wouldn’t have thought possible before I met her, and got her now-ex to agree to it). David’s classmates think it’s about the coolest thing EVER, and he’s a huge SW fan himself.
So, it’s not ALWAYS a horrible thing.
http://failblog.org/2009/03/20/baby-name-fail-2/ check out this guy! Epic name WIN if you ask me
My parents’ friends, children of the 60’s, named their kid Starbuck (long before the coffee chain and, perhaps, after the Battlestar Galactica character).

I betcha he could really frack up those toasters.
Well . . . my oldest daughter is named after Lady Jessica Leto in Dune; my youngest is named Amanda, after Spock’s mother. Srsly.
I think you just took the gold in the Geeklympics. Congratulations!
That’s nothing. There is a Marine who had his name legally changed to “Optimus Prime.”
It used to be on Wikipedia, but apparently the mods decided that Mr. Prime wasn’t “important” enough to have a page devoted to him. I consider it a warning to parents who use obvious sci-fi references as names that other people will think you’re crazy. (Obscure ones that sound like normal names, or sci-fi pet names, tend not to evoke the same sort of response.)
And I still cringe when I remember the news story in ‘98 or ‘99 about the kid who was named ESPN.
my friends last name is ‘prime’ and i told him that he had to name his son ‘optimus’
Are you my mother? Seriously I was also named after Spock’s mother. Wicked sad.
my legal name is spock lloyd.
*Breathing heavy*
Spock….
*Breathing heavy*
I am your mother….
*breathe heavy die*
She’s deead!! :’(
yoda-grammar CORRECTION FAIL
I agree. I can’t understand why more are not seeing it.
GLUURK?
change, need we?
gay…
It isn’t a messed up “We Need Change”
It’s “Change that it necessary”, “change that we are dependent on”
*is
Ha Ha Ha I just got that. Good one.
Yes, but this is funnier.
nto really,
i see nothing funny about a serious misinterpretation.
Conservatives are trying to make fun of obama supporters saying that they have signs with bad grammer,
the only kind of laughter they could get from that is the wrong kind,
the kind that their laughing at you,
for a,
forcing a joke that bad,
and b,
being stupid enough to not understand various diffrent ways of structuring sentences.
What if I told you this is the reason I finnaly decided to vote for Obama?
Because strong in the force, he is.
Wrong. He is just well versed and for the last two years, he has not stuck with a single definitive isssue because his position has changed with every speech. He is a good speaker, but I am tired of talk. It changes nothing. I see action on the McCain ticket and he is undeniably the most experienced, most knowlegable, and most honest candidate. On the Obama ticket, we all get what the new ‘vogue’ is.
Woah there…someone’s a little touchy… I’m a conservative, and I completely disagree with Obama’s policies, but I do understand that there are indeed various ways to phrase a particular idea. I also find it ironic that in your rantings on the supposed lack of intelligence and grammatical aptitude required to make such a joke, you yourself neglect many basic rules of English grammar. A LOL is a LOL. Quit griping, and quit splitting infinitives.
End a sentence with a preposition, you should not. “Change upon which we are defendant.”
A noun, and not making much sense as a predicate nominative in this case, is “defendant.” That word looking for you are not. “Dependent,” a better choice would be.
Also, required, a preposition is, in order for that to be the case.
A preposition on the signs, I see not.
Agreed. This is something up with which I will not put.
Somewhere… both George Lucas and Frank Oz are weeping…
Not to mention, Winston Churchill, whom quoting, Freddie was.
Quoting, a verb is. LOL regardless, I did.
The point that was!
Bed, therein…
I think the full phrase would be “(Obama is the) change (that) we need.”
Keep this Yoda reference from being funny, this fact does not. Arguing semantics, you are. Care about alternative meanings for the sign, Pundit Kitchen does not.
meh, this LOL isn’t really saying anything and isn’t even that clever, but I’m all for everyone being able to have their own sense of humor. I even like star wars.
a bit of a wet blanket, you are.
maybe so, not all the time, but maybe sometimes
renee was rite. know you, she does
Ah, this LOL is pretty funny. Of course, I had to lower my humor standards (I didn’t do it intentionally) because American sitcoms today are either unoriginal and boring, or they are extremely stupid.
Duh! Watching them we are not! Better things have we to do.
how awesome is it that when we refer to dems and grammar its always positive LOL
Because this isn’t bad grammar, it is intentionally implying a non-existent comma. Read it as one phrase, and it makes sense (grammatically)
I’ve never looked at it this way. But I will from now on. May the lulz be with you always.
If you want to find fault in campaign grammar, go for “Change we can believe in.” Should be, “Change in which we can believe.”
“Up with this insolence I shall no longer put!” -Winston Churchill
“GLUURK!” – Suzy
GLUURK!
What the hell is wrong with you?
*sigh* Please don’t feed the trolls. What is wrong with them is that they are improperly socialized and don’t know any other strategy for getting attention. You are just giving them what they want, ensuring they will keep doing it.
Actually, what is wrong with them is that it’s a joke from a previous PK pic…
You’re right, of course, O hanky wielder. Still, this particular brand of trolling is particularly retarded. Just wondering what the deal is.
He doesnt’ wield a hankey, he wields a towel
Sorry guys, I know it’s feeding the troll, but I can’t help but laugh. My boss is gonna come in soon to see what’s the matter.
Beliefs we can believe in!
So if Barack Obama is Yoda, that would mean Joe Biden is Obi Wan. John McCain, meanwhile, is Emperor Palpatine, and Sarah Palin is Jar-Jar Binks.
No, she’s Leia, all the way. (insert image of Palin as Slave Leia here)
*inserts… digs it… commits to memory*
Though in actuallity the roles would be Biden = Dooku, Obama = Jar Jar, McCain = Admiral Akbar, and Palin = Leia. None of them are cool enough to be Palpatine.
Though now I have this terribly funny image in my head of Obama saying “Meesa be thinkin’ yousa be wantin’ change. Meesa knows alls about its! Meesa show yousa!” then crashes in some sort of epic fail.
Except that relating to the plot, none of those comparisons fit. Obama would HAVE
to be Palpatine since he’s Biden’s Boss, and Leia actually is OVER Akbar.
Try without the personal prejudice next time and the comparisons could be funny.
I could of course rewrite the ENTIRE Star Wars script using present day politics…
but I digress… because Im lazy.
Relating to the plot none of the characters would fit anyway. The comparisons I listed are perfectly funny, you just don’t like that I put Obama as Jar Jar. But with all his gaffs (57 states, etc) he’s the dopiest one there, and he’s also young. Only other one that would seem to fit would be C-3PO, but then I try looking at Biden-D2 and it just doesn’t work for me. And don’t go telling me you can’t see McCain lifting up his arms and yelling “It’s a trap!” with his eyes rolling. Stop reading your own personal prejdices into things and you’ll find humor out there. And I’d rewrite the script too, but it’d be too much of an insult to Star Wars.
I thought McCain *couldn’t* lift up his arms?
He has a bit of a jerky lifting motion. Kinda like the guy in the Akbar suit. He can’t work them properly though. Which really must suck. 8/
Ah, I see. I wonder if you could work that into a “totally looks like”?
No I was merely stating that if Biden was Dooku… Obama would HAVE to be
Palpatine, because thats how the parallel runs. It has nothing to do with my
personal preference. Im very sorry that the rules of drawing a parallel dont
fit how you wish Obama was Jar Jar, but… well they dont. Its a matter of the inaccuracy ruining the funny, cause when you make a parallel, getting the
associations right or perfect is what make it all the more funny.
You were making parallels, I was assigning characters. Big difference. Your “rules” don’t apply. You can’t assign parallels with the people given because it just doesn’t work. No one’s cool enough to be Palpatine. What you can do is pick characters that seem to fit the person in one way or other, *individually*, and still have plenty of funny. Biden’s role I assigned had nothing to do with Obama’s, just like Palin and McCain’s aren’t really related. And neither side is related to each other. They just are what they are. If you can’t find something funny without perfect parallels, then you’re a bigger geek than most of the geeks I’ve met even at places like DragonCon.
These are not the droids you are looking for …
57 Islamic states there are, Freudian slip maybe I think?
Yeah, you would think that.
JarJar is actually smarter than blah, go figure.
You wouldn’t know smart if it kicked you in the butt.
Actually, that close, I’m sure I would.
We’re talking about a guy who doesnt get that “assigning characters” from a is the
same thing as drawing parallels… oh wait… getting it would mean that’d he’d
have to admit he was wrong… Right.
That is just too much imagery!!!!LOL
omg yes! LMAO!!!
no, McCain would be Vader and Bush would be the Emperor.
Don’t insult the emperor…
Bush is Jar-Jar.
The Emperor is Cheney.
lol @ Palin = JarJar…so so true
Obama= JarJar —perfect comparison !
Meesa see Alaska from meesa house!!
LOL WIN
Looks like the teleprompter broke again …
You can read? Who knew?
Darth Cheney does not approve…
Whoa…. linking Obama with JarJar. Shall we have a history lesson about Steppin Fetchit and blackface?
By the way, Diogie is my dog’s name
I’m pretty sure the intent was to link Obama to JarJar (yessa masta), but that’s just playin’ the race card, my friends. You betcha!
Humor is humor. If it’s racist it’s because you are, right?
Blinded they are, deceived they are, read between the lies they do not;
The sad thing is that whoever made this most likely really believed that the grammar was incorrect in that statement.
Which is why something also needs to be done about our education system in this country. There are some easily-amused people on the internet, but this takes the cake.
oh good gosh. Humor-impaired, somebody is!
Excuse me. Humor-impaired, *Someone* is.
Sorry – I prefer humor that is actually funny instead of inept.
I aggree!
Yoda syntax actually it is.
I’m humor and grammar impaired. I lol with reckless abandon.
brilliant
In these two, much change I sense. A terrible burden each would have. Horrible it would be for them. However, one I see much potential within. Untried words he speaks though. The other… Much anger I sense in him. Rash decision he will make. Rash decisions he has made. The path to the Dark Side, I sense in him.
Mark my words you must.
win
Winning is good, losing, not as good.
100% liberal voting record, Obama has.
Socialist, Obama is.
Buying banks, we are. Socialism, already, we have.
Yes, but that doesn’t fit into Stevie’s brain, so it CAN’T be true.
True, true.
Fail this lol is.
FAVORITE. ever.
“Your thoughts dwell on your mother…”
I sense much bullflop in you…
” Meesa so fulla bull ! Meesa haba NO experience ! Yet meesa think you believe anyting I so tells you! Wait till I passes de White Tax ! Den you no Laff !”
Himsa right !
Yousa both letting your stupidity show!
Nice about the white tax. VEEERRRRRYYYY classy, you are not.
If we survive this, it won’t be class that wins. The ‘opposition’ threw class out the window decades ago.
yes, Obama did !
Don’ make me love you…>>
Jar Jar Binks?
*HEADDESK*
That is all.
Hey idiots. The first verb is not meant as a verb (as would be the case in yoda-speech), but a noun, making this a correct statement. But I guess most Americans are too stupid to figure that one out.
cjk – I think most of us know what was meant by the signs – but we choose to see humor in ordinary things. Many Americans may be too stupid to figure out the sign grammar is correct, but apparently you are too stupid to figure out that this was meant to be funny – maybe you aren’t into Yoda, I can let that slide, but don’t call people idiots just because you don’t understand their humor.
this is sooo boring
Correct grammer, yes, it is. Still funny, but, it is!!! That most people who saw this understand that, I’m sure. To spoil the humor with logic we all already understand, you don’t need. No good, it does.
How much fun is it to talk like Yoda???
say i if you like SW’s?
