Funniest captions

[Astro Forever]

Thanks! Would you mind if I resized it though?

[jeffbert]

I have posted the larger of the two images I had. Why would you want to shrink-- Go ahead, I'm too tired to hassle you.

BTW, does anybody have the image of Tamao about to wet his pants? I know that is not what was happening, but still seemed that way.

Why would you want to shrink--

Because it creates a scrolling horizontal bar.

BTW, I've also edited your post in the caption thread to put it back! I suggest doing the same for the other pictures we happen to retrieve, at least for the first post in which the image was posted. It will make the thread more interesting for our new members. I remember reading it from the beginning when I came here!

Yes! I already had it in my screenshots thread (not that I expected you to search in it! )

Here are some of the posts I was referring to earlier. I put back the image in the first post. There were quite a few funny posts in that round so I'll post some of these here, but if here is the first post of that round, in case someone would want to read them all.

"This series is so old, my internal clock is not even Y2K compliant!"

"No wonder I spazzed out, the @#$&ing Windows Me crashed again!"

A Fatal Exception 0E has occurred at 0137:0034. The current application will be terminated.

"Hey Doc, just about this new navigation board you've recently put in my electronic brain:
It's CRAP!! Or does this place look like the North Pole?"

Astroboy discovers he's only been given 64MB of RAM.

"Stupid chest-door TV set. No stations available in this area with its poor reception.
I'll better capture all astra- and eutelsat satellites and blackmail all TV-networks to send me a brandnew trinitron 100hz tele, otherwise they've seen those satellites the last time alive."

"Awwww! just as I was getting good at this game, I ran out of quarters!"

" When did they install messinger on here??"

"I told them I wanted PacMan not tetris"

"now How do I get my emails on this thing"

"Sometimes i think it would have been easier if Dr Elepan had just given me a Nokia"

"Who sent me the trojan??"

"danm, If only I had gotten the 3rd Gold bar, I would have got the Jackpot"

I love them all, but my favorites are DrFrag's application terminated and Strange Wings' navigation system!

Edit: and by the way, when I came on the forum, many of the pictures were already missing, but Strange Wings had put a lot of them back for me. Now they're gone again, but thanks to him, I could enjoy these rounds too back then, and I'm now also able to help proving the pictures, so thanks again for doing that, Strange Wings!

Another one that made me laugh:

What do you mean I voided the warranty? It didn't say anything about going through a wall at 400 miles an hour.

I think the one where Epsilon is being subjected to Atom's incessant babbling was probably the best.

It's here, but although I remember what the picture looked like, I'm not a specialist of the 2003 series, so I'm afraid the picture is not where I think it is... so if somebody can put it back there (and maybe here too... )

I also loved this one of yours:

"I don't care how low the introductory rate is-- no, I don't care about consolodating my other credit cards-- no, I don't want-- Look, Iv'e told you three times already, I don't want a platinum VISA card!"

Also this one from cybotron:

Hmmmm. Instant enemies. Just add water!

And finally, since DrFrag put back the picture, here is the picture of what was what was probably my best round so far (just scroll down to read them all). I don't really remember my captions in the other rounds though, so my best one may not even be among them but oh well, I'm a much better player at the Photoshop game than at this one anyway.

The image was mine. Even though it doesn't show up anymore in the thread, it's still online at a slightly different URL. Here it is:

I know which episode it is. I can't remember the title right now, but I remember there was an erupting volcanoe by the end. I should find it back as soon as I have some time to dig into it.

Ok, here are my best captions, all in one post:

These were all winning captions:

"You look like you're about to wet your pants, Tamao. We robots never have urgency about expelling used radioactive compounds."

Another winner, although I recall Epsilon's expression being stern or concerned, as though she were troubled about something. So, I checked the P-version, only to find no difference here. But I did find an amusing cut in which Uran-chan blows a bubble the busts harmlessly in O's face. Why did the E-vers cut that?

Anyway, both these have similar captions, the endless babbling of a talkative child, and the endless babbling of the PBS fund drive.

"I can hop on one foot. I can fly with only one jet. Uran-chan is naughty. In a previous life, I had twin machine guns in my bottom. In a life previous to that, I didn't have lasers in my fingers, but I do now. I can hold my breath indefinitely. I have 100,000 Horse power, whatever than means. 'Tawashi' means 'scrub brush'. Don't you think that's funny? I have kokoro. 'Kokoro' is Japanese for 'heart'." [Continues babbling endlessly]

Episilon thinking: "Where did Tenma put his 'off' switch? :angry: If I don't find it soon, I'll summon a typhoon, a tsunami, a whirlpool, or anything else just to shut him up.'

Here is another winner about somebody who just will not stop talking:

"...If you pledge at the $50 level, we'll send you these two awesome Robio collectables not available in any store, but only through pledges to our fine station. [telephones ringing in the background] Oh, I think we have a few callers now, wait--yes Fred from Tulsa has just pledged at the $50 level. Fred obviously has impeccable taste in both television programming and Robio collectibles. In just a few more minutes, we'll return to our program, but you still have time to call in & support the fine programming on this public supported station. You know, we rely on your support for over 80% of our budget. Only a small fraction comes from corporate sponsors, and even less from government grants. So please call now. These Robio collectibles are in limited quantities, & will not last long-- oh, my associates have just informed me that another pledge for $50 has just come in. It seems that Trudy of Fairbanks has the same impeccable taste as Frank from-- oh, that was Fred from Tulsa [continues ad nausium]"

This one could have been a bit funnier, if I had been specific about the program:

In just a few more minutes, we'll return to our program, but you still have time to call in & support the fine programming on this public supported station.

If I had said

In just a few more minutes, we'll return to Jetter Mars, but you still have time to call in & support the fine programming on this public supported station.

But which progam would be funniest?

[jeffbert]

I thought this one was rather funny:

Dr Elefun: "Let us pray. O Lord, save us from the wrath of Galon. Let us not be squashed into pancakes by his tremendous feet. Spare us from his lazerous fingers, that we might not be burnt to a crisp in agony. Deliver us from the choking fumes spewing forth from his mouth, that we might be spared from having our lungs destoryed with vapourous acid while we choke to an agonising death. O Lord, save us from Galon's eye beams, least we be torn molecule from molecule or be turned to gold. Protect us from an agonising, agonising ..."
Astro: "Can we go home now?"

The 1963 version has Galon turn Duke Red into an insect:

Dr Elefun: "Let us pray. O Lord, save us from the wrath of Galon. Let us not be squashed into pancakes by his tremendous feet. Spare us from his lazerous fingers, that we might not be burnt to a crisp in agony. Deliver us from the choking fumes spewing forth from his mouth, that we might be spared from having our lungs destoryed with vapourous acid while we choke to an agonising death. O Lord, save us from Galon's eye beams, least we be torn molecule from molecule or be turned into insects. Protect us from an agonising, agonising ..."
Astro: "Can we go home now?"

Before I forget again, thanks to Astro Forever, Fafner, & Dr. Frag for restoring those pics.
