It’s called a microphone, Joe.

O.M.G. How the hell is this funny? Please, someone, elucidate…
Joe Biden is in it?
Yeah, pretty much. It’s not allowed to really make fun of ‘bama, so you have to make due with Biden. Be thankful; before the election, you couldn’t even do that.
Also, we used to have to walk 5 miles to school, uphill, in the snow, both ways. AND WE LIKED IT.
My walk’s only 2 miles… but it involves muddy canal path or muddier sheep field…
*quavering voice* Ah, but in those days, we had good legs, my child.
Not like these dolla fitty robo legs you youngins use now…
:laugh:
fail!
Welcome back! Where have you been hiding?!?!
Behind that nice new avatar so they weren’t recognised! How are you dyf?
I’m fine, thank you Eddie and AC, but I had problems with the loggin, and now I can’t have access to my profile!!
caption fail?
It is one of the new “classics.”
Obama is epic
McCain is old
Palin is crazy
Blago is a desperate thief
Biden is dumb
Pelosi has flying monkeys
Hillary is Machivelli (sp?)
Bush is dumb
Clinton is horny
Putin is a bond villain
Kim Jong is nuts
Stuff like that.
It is “funny” because it follows the usual lolstream.
What an excellent summary. I was just thinking it wasn’t funny because what I though were allergy problems yesterday were, in fact, the beginnings of a wicked cold.
No worries, I didn’t laugh either. I am sorry to hear about your cold. *hugs and keeps you warm*
My allergies let up a bit today or they are mustering their forces in secret for a stronger attack and what I am feeling right now is just a raiding party to test my defenses…
*hugs* Thanks. I’m mainly pissed because I had to call in sick to both jobs, one of which was subbing for Charlie’s class. On one hand, that’s kind of easy ’cause I just say, “Dad, I’m sick, can you find another sub?” but on the other hand I needed that money.
The cursed almighty Dollar/Euro/etc…
Oooh oooh…wait…I got one…Bill Gates is a geek guy and Vista is kaka!
I love that one.
Excellent synopsis.
Well then, whippersnappers, new classics suck.
Also, get off my lawn.
I never said I like them and this is my lawn and I insist that you pull your pants back up. You are scaring my neighbors.
don’t you know, the best thing to do to a guy that exposes himself in public is to point and their equipment and laugh loudly
I prefer a shotgun but you do have a point.
besides, shotguns are messy, especially at close range, and i really hate explaining the holes in the trees and bystanders to the cops
although rock salt does have a certain ironic sting when used on peeping toms and other assorted pervs
but in all seriousness, which would be more crushing to someone who gets their jollies from shocking people with exposing themselves – a screech of shock and horror, or uncontrollable giggling from their victim?
and then there is a friend of mine who lives in ny – she made a realistic looking mummified oversized wang and balls – every time she’s been flashed, she tells the perv she’s got bigger, and pulls it out of her bag and then asks if they want to trade.
The fact that she needs to be prepared for the frequency of the event depresses me in regards to the state of our development as a species…
knowing her, it wouldn’t matter where she lived, she’d still be ‘prepared’ – twisted soul that she is
There are much worse things to be, I commend her for the foresight.
Better to have a condom, gun, or petrified wang and not need it than to need it and not have it…
Never had the experience, but I think the perfect response is:
*giggles* Aw, that’s cute! It looks like a penis, only teeny!
Teeny Weeny!
Like a little Vienna sausage.
D’oh! Scrolling fail. :hug:
Or the confused look: What is that? It looks kinda like a penis, but so much smaller……
True, considering everytime Joe looks in the mirror he sees a bigger dick. Rumor has it he had a picture of Cheney in his office, but he took it down because it made him feel inadequate.
That is a Zing and a Real laugh worthy joke. Thanks Eds!
Swine flu is silly…
Not a classic as by this time next year, it won’t even be a memory. You don’t see people making lolz about Avian flu or SARS still, do ya?
So your entry is denied into the classics, sorry.
That’s exactly what makes the whole hysteria even more laughable. I say, let’s have a few laughs while there’s still people believing they might die every time they bumped into a hot dog vendor.
True, it is laughable. I wouldn’t deny that, I am thinking of “classic” lolz. Bush is dumb and McCain is old will never die as lolz and will be mentioned even a couple years down the road. We are still getting Clinton is horny.
Just doing my duty as judge.
Dude, Clinton actually IS horny. All the time. NO ONE with the ability to see and think at least on a rudimentary level could possibly disagree. He did other great things, but he’s comedy gold forever and ever amen b/c he’s teh horniest prez evah!
McCain isn’t old to someone who’s 100 and Bush isn’t dumb to Forest Gump, so, while humorous, are pretty subjective and based on the opinion of the LOL maker and audience.
Horndogs+blowjobs+willing subservient interns = chock-fulla-win-lols!
Never said they couldn’t be true now did I?
True dat’!
Oooooh, generalizations! Can I try?
Conservatives are Intolerant Bible Thumpers legislating morality
Liberals are Tree Hugging Socialists living on welfare
Libertarians aren’t Democrats or Republicans, so they must be nut-job radicals living in the hills with guns
How am I doing so far?
Libertarians love teh guns and teh drugz!
eh, not all libertarians love teh drugz, but if you wants to talk about homemade fuel for the 4x’s
Thom Hartmann:
“Libertarians are Republicans who like to smoke dope and hire hookers.”
Oh good, I had focused on specific people and had forgotten the stereotype “classics.” Many thanks, The Steve.
*Machiavelli
(you’re most welcome)
Sadly, that is how I was going to spell it at first. Many thanks, I knew I was getting it wrong. *hugs*
*hugs back and strike dramatic pose*
*takes pictures and sells to lonely Japanese men*
*takes note of lonely Japanese men’s adress and pester them for more money*
*trained you well*
*is fast learner*
*gives you anti-tentacle monster underwear*
Just in case, I know some girls like it but even still, fifty times would have to chafe something. I give because I care.
Aaaw, how did you know?
*tries underwear on*
And it’s my size too.
>_>
I am magical like that. Yep, no spy cameras with a video feed to Japan that makes you a fair commission that I have been putting secretly into your bank account as I am honorable despite the fact that I am a sneaky.
Nothing like that at all. I… um… Guessed. Either way, I’m just looking out for ya.
Don’t forget Pope Benedict XVI + wardrobe malfunctions.
And don’t forget how it throws back to the mother site by referencing the almighty cheeseburger. On ICHC, LOL with the word cheeseburger is ALWAYS funny. (Not really, but you know what I’m getting at)
My answer would be: Look at their facial expressions.
Almost every successful lol is funny because it simply calls attention to who things look in the picture – not what’s actually going on in reality.
Biden has a dumbfounded, slackjawed expression on his face as he points at a microphone. Obama on the other hand is wearing an expression of slight annoyance and with his finger pointing towards the register it looks like he’s trying to steer Biden’s attention away from the fluffy microphone and towards the food.
What makes the caption funny to me is that I probably wouldn’t have seen this if the text wasn’t there, but after reading the text I feel like that’s absolutely the conversation that’s going on.
And yes, it does capitalize on the “Biden is stupid”-thing – that’s why it fits in this category. Maybe it’s an old joke, but as long as he keeps saying stupid things it’s still the kind of joke that is going to be made about him. That’s the fair part of political humor; actually making fun of things that people do.
As for the guy who answered the usual, tired, tired, tired quip about how this is about Biden simply because people aren’t allowed to make fun of Obama…. Look at the world. I see people make fun of him all the time, both now and before the election. It’s not AS much about Obama, simply because he guards his tongue and doesn’t say very much stupid things.
It’s also because many of those who want to make fun of Obama are incredibly stupid. They keep going on about him being a socialist or a Muslim, or they make sensationally stupid claims like “Obama is elitist and un-American because he eats Dijon mustard!!!” There’s no humor in that, just face-palm-worthy stupidity.
Now, I admit that I like Obama. I don’t know if he’ll be a great president or not, but I think that he’s certainly good at it. But I still WILL laugh at jokes about him if you come up with good ones. Jokes about Biden saying stupid things or Clinton being unfaithful can be funny if they’re done right, because it contains truth. Saying that Obama is a secret Muslim communist invader is not funny because it doesn’t have any truth to it.
But again regarding the picture, just because I can’t understand how so many can’t get it, just look at it. Look how it really LOOKS like the written conversation takes place, and how silly it would be if that conversation took place in reality. I don’t care if you don’t think it’s funny, we all have different conceptions about what’s funny. But it should be obvious what the joke is.
I agree with much of your post, but this part “They keep going on about him being a socialist” is dumb.
One who is in power and chooses to enact socialist economic/ruling policies is in fact a socialist. And it already has a definition – unlike Obama who has expressed a desire to “redefine” capitalism, you don’t get to make up your own dictionary. It means what it means, and if you does it, you is it. Them’s the breaks. I don’t know or care if he’s a Muslim; he’s a sympathizer with terrorists (domestic and foreign) and a sycophant to America’s enemies while insulting our friends, so we’ll see where all that goes. Muslim or not is hardly the issue.
Name one policy that Obama has enacted that is in any way ’socialist.’ I am a socialist, I desire far more socialism in our country than there currently is, and I would have cheered loudly if Obama had done anything even remotely socialist. He hasn’t.
Care to back up your ‘terrorist sympathizer’ allegation with a reputable source? Current terrorists, that is, and you need to show statements from Obama demonstrating his sympathy for these current day terrorists. Otherwise you are, as usual, just stating your uninformed opinion.
EEEE the suspense is killing me!
It would have been funny if he said “damn cheeseburger”. I can’t see Obama saying “dang” when he really meant “damn”
It’s funny that a newsnetwork would spend more than 5 minutes talking about what Barack Obama, and Joe Biden ordered for lunch…
Obama is sadly mistaken….the Star Trek movie has bought the return of…the Tribbles!!!!! Don’t touch it!
You know Biden is thinking that he can TOTALLY make some new hair out of that thing….
great, just what we need to impress other leaders – a vp with bad muppet hair. he’ll look good going to state funerals in that thing.
Poor Plugs. He just can’t catch a break
vanity, thy name is biden
He should totally talk to Nicholas Cage’s people.
But he’ll have something to talk about in direct negotiations with Kim Jong Il.
…if he doesn’t get eaten by catfish first.
Damn, I haven’t had catfish for supper in forever… T_T
Mmmmmm, my mom’s fried catfish. *drools*
Now you are just torturing me…
If that’s the case, it’s obvious he’s using Blago as an inspiration..
better than the donald and the dead animal he insists on combing over
“Welcome to Russia, Mr. Vice President…is that a boom mic on your head?”
Good one. If only it ended “And don’t forget the Dijon” it would be perfect.
eww, and who puts mustard on a cheeseburger besides drive ins (and we all know they are the height of fine dining)?
One of the reasons I hate Burger King is that I feel they put too much mustard on their burgers. Gross.
Me. And sh!tpiles of relish, onions, ketchup…. if it doesn’t goop all over my shirt, I don’t want to eat it. What’s the point of going for a healthy hamburger?
That’s like standing beside the roller coaster and going “whee” every time it passes you by…
But I grew up with Oscar Mayer, White Wonderbread, and French’s.
Gotta problem with that?
I like your condiments, but you can have the ketchup. And please add mayo to mine. Also, maybe some Chiles Toreados.
hahaha that’s pretty funny even though I voted for them :p
now if Biden put mustard on the microphone that would have been funny
