Caption contest

A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.

Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

CAPTION CONTEST, Week 39 -- Hey, I'm in a painting this week! How would YOU caption this picture?

Comment below! The same pic will show here, on Facebook, and on The World of Wombat. I'll repost the pic with my favorite caption on Friday. (As always, no prizes, other than the glory/infamy of being chosen.)
Ack! The pressure! I can't do it! There isn't enoug time! :eek:

Oh, wait. How about...

An earlier study by Seurat had the working title "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of Gand-Jatte with a Boombox", but he thankfully decided to give the piece more focus.

Wow, lots of funny this week, including a few groaners about my “missing the point” (I'm looking at you, Zazu), but this is your winning caption – congratulations first-time winner Matt McBrayer!!

Image

This week’s Honorable Mentions: David Wilmoth: “Seurat's famous ‘Sunday Afternoon Disturbed by Brad and his 80's Playlist’”; Chase Gooding: “As Brad rewound his latest learning track, the adverse effects rippled throughout history.”; Jared Holt: “Rule Six of the Barbershop Harmony Society Code of Ethics, ‘We shall refrain from forcing our songs upon unsympathetic ears,’ had no bearing on Brad.”; and SGT’s hhsrat: "Brad, lacking tophat, monocle, and handlebar mustache, or even any part of the trifecta, realizes that he doesn't quite fit in.”

Thanks to all who entered! New picture coming Monday!

Okay, let's see if I can remember to actually post this instead of just previewing it...

CAPTION CONTEST, Week 40 – The Amazing Race is back! So… why am I in it? Who is my partner? WHERE is my partner? What am I pointing at? What is wrong with me that I spend so much time doctoring these pictures?
