Forum:Caption Contest

Note: This topic has been unedited for 5208 days. It is considered archived - the discussion is over.

Didn't we used to have a Caption Contest a la The New Yorker? Do we still have a Caption Contest a la The New Yorker? Anyway, I think it was a great idea, and should probably be revived, featured on the Main Page, and advertised over all of Wikia through those little tiny boxes at the bottom and left-hand side of the page. Also, Wumbo is the #1 Google search result for "Wumbo", and because of this should probably be improved - I'd tag it with some nonsense but I've forgotten how. Also, I will probably never return to check on this poor little Forum Topic, and instead will entrust the ever-diligent members of the Uncyclopedia community to carry out my wishes.

Well, perhaps some sort of unimportant consensus?

How about, each contest is open for 5-7 days, and then 1-2 days of voting for the winner? We can probably just vote in the same way Opty and Global have already voted. Also, no voting for yourself. Don't be that guy. I guess, also, I can create some sort of thrown-together, meaningless award for whomever wins, if that is what the people want. Woody On Fire!

REEEEEEMMIIIIIIIIXXXXX!

Add the most recent caption to the top.
One entry per person.

Sorry to inject this here, but I vote that the most recent captions should be added to the bottom. My reason for voting for this is because we read from top to bottom, and if two captions could be considered derivative of each other, the first of said captions should be the first that is experienced by a given laughter. Case in point: my caption is the first chronologically below to utilize the notion that he is doing this to help her and it is failing. By the time you get to mine this way, however, this notion has become a bit stale. But if you reverse the order, per my idea, you necessarily get a slightly bigger laugh out of mine. You didn't think that my vote on this was not self-serving, did you? -- GlobalTourniquet: UnAstrologer, UnJournalist, shameless narcissistic America-hating liberal atheist award-winning featured writer 16:20, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

Hm,m,m,m,m,m,m,m,m... Well I thought that by putting the newest on top it brings more 'pop!' to it because you haven't had to wade all the way through the comments you've read time and time again. With the new comment right under the picture I think it allows us to better consider it, freshly and originally. But what do I know. Caption Order Vote?  ~ Avast Matey!!!
