ℛODNEY’S BOTTOM OF THE BARREL

No President, I don’t think an attack on their senses is a suitable Syrian response.

Air quality testers prepare for intervention in Syria.

So put that in your pipe an smoke it.

Earl (out of frame left) seemed to be overcompensating for something.

The University of Wisconsin marching band performing House of Pain’s Jump Around.

“Louie Louie, oh no Me gotta go Aye-yi-yi-yi”

Comments

  1. David in KC says:

    A win on the day before my birthday. Sweet.

  2. Paul Hooson says:

    Kind of Horny!

  3. JWH says:

    Second place this time. But soon, first place will be mine. Oh, yes, it will be mine.

  4. Franklin says:

    How come JKB got an honorable mention for the compensation comment, but somebody else got a bottom of the barrel for almost the exact same thing?

  5. David in KC says:

    @Franklin: unless otherwise stated, the bottom of the barral “winners” are all Rodney’s.

  6. rodney dill says:

    @Franklin: David in KC is correct. While JKB’s comment is funny, I think mine is funnier as I refer to the ficticious “Earl” (out of frame) that has a bigger horn than everyone else. Of course, I’m biased toward my own humor so it wouldn’t be fair to include my own in the judging. That’s why I started the bottom of the barrel when I took over the contest from James Joyner in 2004.

  7. Paul Hooson says:

    @rodney dill: Two comments Rodney: One, you’re excellent at comedy writing. Two, I’m surprised that James Joyner once did this. He’s such a fine serious author that I never associated his writing with comedy.

  8. Franklin says:

    Thanks, guys, I didn’t realize Rodney wrote those. I haven’t been paying enough attention to the caption contests, and it had never been clear to me before why the bottom of the barrel ones were often funny.
