Caption Battle: Rozen Maiden Month...

"It's that time again..."
"To try to assassinate Hitler?"
"To listen to Morgan Freeman's voice?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, because Dragonball references are usually funny if not tragic: Rei-syn!

This is another example of Dragon Ball Z's fusion dance gone wrong.

In second place, being a factor for many future weeks to come: red tigress!

I hate it when my schwartz gets stuck! Okay, maybe if you put your hand here... okay, your leg here... okay, now push.

Bwahaha... Space Balls... anyway, good stuff.

A'ight, on grounds that screencap submissions and Ye Olde Archives have been running a little thin as of late... you're all in for trouble now.

You know the drill: type up the funniest, wittiest, most original caption you can think of for the screencap above in the comments below. Also, if any of you would like some tips on writing a great caption, you can find those here.

And like always, theOtaku is open to all submissions and suggestions for weekly feature content. You have a screencap you want used, you can PM me and we can do somethin' about it. Let's see what you can do... and yes, spammers will be taken care of in unpleasant ways possibly including quicklime and/or electric flyswatters. Not that I'm not forgiving or anything, just saying...
