Caption Battle: Technical Vegetarian...

"It's that time again..."
"Already?!"
"But it's only Friday!!!"
"Yeah... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place with a mental tease: CelestialSushi!

If the punishment should fit the crime, do we want to know what Keima did?

In second place, because Australian understandings are hilarious: cougarsama!

I don't wanna be around for her reaction to Keima's 'potatos or stuffing' decision.

And in the coveted first place with admittedly faulty prescience... Ace!

Alright, sudden surge of "beat the meat" puns in 3... 2... 1....

Awesome. And now let us move on to a very special Friday night caption battle!

Caption Battle: Prep For The Vollyball Meat...

"It's that time again..."
"To save up for that pro guitar?"
"To get to bed before twenty-five or six to four?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, for being wildly punny: Ace!

Happy Tom Jones Day! Now let's all celebrate by informing Gokudera that "Sex Bomb" isn't meant to be taken literally.

In second place, because sometimes I don't care about political correctedness (sometimes, anyway): the real yojimbo!

Gokudera: They said I would get 72 virgins for doing this, but I conned 'em into giving me 85!

And in the coveted first place, acclaimed by the masses... KeenHavoc!

Gokudera: "I just remembered that Adam and Jamie said "Don't try this at home", So I brought it all to your place!"

A lot of people really liked that caption, KeenHavoc. Well done. But don't rest on your laurels yet; it's a brand new week!

This week's screencap comes courtesy of Desbrekobama: Yes We Nyan! and features the series The World God Only Knows. The guy getting hit by the ball is Keima; the girl throwing the ball may or may not be Rachel McGibbons. Have fun with it:

Caption Battle: I Choose Trick!

"It's that time again..."
"To find that ninja costume again?"
"To figure out what Patapons are made of?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, for being noticeably unique in this week's string of captions: CelestialSushi!

Yuki Godmother: Mikurella, that's supposed to be your carriage. Put it on the ground before it squashes you.

In second place, reminding me of a hilarious little bunny that graced every door of my university's Classical Studies offices: Allamorph!

I have no idea what you're talking about so here's a chibi with a pumpkin on her head.

And in the coveted first place with some lines that definitely cater to the expressions we have in a great way... akari yasutora!

Yuki: Where did you get that pumpkin on your head?
Mikuru: Oh this? It's a tumor.

Ahhh, tumors... anyway, we've got one more caption battle for the month to go!

So this week's screencap comes courtesy of CelestialSushi and features the series Katekyo Hitman Reborn!. Gokudera is on the left, and Tsuna is on the right. Let's finish October strong!

Caption Battle: Oh Crap, It's Halloween Soon!

"It's that time again..."
"To use Kon as a soccer ball?"
"To grab the vuvu' and wake some folks up?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, for being snappy: FaithlessFighter!

Gang Violence just got 10x cuter.

In second place, because Yugi really looks that smarmy: Grayfire!

You only wish you had your own Scrubbin' Bubbles to keep your hair this perfect.

And in the coveted first place, not necessarily out of personal feelings but y'know... DemonKingAtticus!

Really fun week. Lots of captions that were indirectly/unintentionally funny, and lots of laughs were had. Good stuff.

This week's screencap comes courtesy of The World Desbreko Only Moes, and features that newer Haruhi series that I can't define completely this early in the morning. Purple-haired girl on the left is Yuki Nagato, orange-haired girl on the right is Mikuru Asahina. You know the rest:

Caption Battle: Playing The Ewok Card...

"It's that time again..."
"To train our dragons?"
"To escape the wolves?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, playing on the joys of Japanese otaku: xfishyx!

Those body pillows are just getting weirder and weirder.

In second place with the creepiest Christmas carol of them all: CelestialSushi!

Tessai: I see you when you're sleeping, I know when you're awake...

And in the coveted first place, with the best implementation of a Watchmen quote I've ever seen in the caption battles... the real yojimbo!

Tessai (As a narrator.): All the orange haired shinigami and their zanpakutos will shout "Save us!" And I'll look down, and whisper "No."

Again, it's all about what is the funniest at that exact, frozen, moment in time. That's the key, ladies and gents'...

This week's screencap comes courtesy of MaraNekoyasha13 and features the series Yu-Gi-Oh!. The floaty things are kuribohs; the guy behind them is Dan Green. Go for it:
