Re: LL BWA Entries
As always, none of my attempts made the list, but, unlike the previous season, this time none of the entries I voted for made the top five. Obviously, my sense of humor is different not only from Thorsten's, but also from the typical LLama's. Of the five top BWAs, I only find Wu Tang Clan funny.

Yup. Not even a remote smirk from me on any of the 5 'winners'. And I had to look up the Lisa one.gnash wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2019 12:09 pm As always, none of my attempts made the list, but, unlike the previous season, this time none of the entries I voted for made the top five.

Yeah, Wu Tang was the only one of the winners I voted for. But I’ve long since realized that my anglophilic sense of humor doesn’t comport well with the standard American version.

Wait a minute. Isn't that "A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To the Forum"?
Maybe I'm missing the joke.
Edit. Yes, I was (missing the joke). Sorry 'bout that. I call it "Panacea does Broadway" cuz that was my first musical, ,I played Panacea, and of course, the ancient world revolves around me...

Sergeant is the third and final word in the title of a 1958 British film that launched a series that ended with its 31st movie in 1992. What was the name of this franchise, and the first two words in that 1958 film (and every installment thereafter)?

Pick up sticksCollingwood, Essendon, Hawthorn, St. Kilda, and Carlton are all professional teams with very long histories in a sport best known internationally by a three-word name. What is that name?
*Not actually submitted; I originally had Australian Rules Football...then changed it to Gaelic Rules Football (which apparently doesn't have 'rules' in the name) thanks to a Deadspin article and the "very long" part of the clue. Apparently 120 years counts as 'very long'

Re: LL BWA Entries
I think it's funny that Amelia Bedelia made it for two different questions.
I think this one is my fave:
Q: According to the lyrics of a popular rock song released in 1995, despite all of his rage, Billy Corgan was still just a what?
A: A BILL SITTIN’ HERE ON CAPITOL HILL

Thanks for pointing out Tyler Perry. I voted when the list only went through Day 10, but I updated.

Re: LL BWA Entries
I'm going with Tyler Perry/Unfriend/Emergency Dentists in that order.
I continue to be amazed by how small the intersection is between my sense of humor and Thorsten's. I think I didn't even get more than half of them.

And not for the first time. The only thing I can figure out about Thorsten's sense of humor is that he'll laugh if you give the answer "Amelia Bedelia" to just about any question.This Is Kirk! wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2019 6:39 pm I think it's funny that Amelia Bedelia made it for two different questions.
