The "Dead Horse Approaching Total Exflunctication" awards!

[jpgray]

What DU jokes have gone around so many times they deserve to be humanely sent to equine heaven (or hell)?

For my part I nominate:

The Brazilian Joke
Project X

[Phillycat]

1. Kudzu

More cowbell (even though I still love it).
Call congress. Right fucking now. (Even though I still love it)

[jpgray]

4. Good choices!

That original "Call congress now!1" thread is one of my all time DU favorites.

[slj0101]

2. "The Gay" and "douchebag"

[Phillycat]

8. Seriously.

They weren't funny to begin with. :eyes:

[Richardo]

12. I thought 'The Gay' was humorous until it had all the funny sucked out of it...

...only took about 2 hours and 7,546 posts.

[Phillycat]

13. LOL

Well, some people have no original humor of their own.

My friend Maria and I talk about catching "the gay", as she is a lesbian and works at Sarah Lawrence, and it's always funny, but nothing like the DU Lounge to reduce everything to the least common denominator. :D

[Richardo]

3. "olive garden" and "Beagles Up!"

Wait a second...

[jpgray]

6. I'm guilty of bringing up the cornflakes fiasco

That one is still hilarious to me.

[jobycom]

7. Yes on Olive Garden, but the Beagle is still pretty damn cute. nt

[jpgray]

10. Yes. If anything is worthy of sustained mockery, it's "eagles up!"

[wildhorses]

5. dead horses worry me--

[jobycom]

17. LOL! nt

9. Exflunctication?

A word I've never heard of, can't figure out, and can't find on Google, but which still evokes a meaning... I'm very impressed! :)

[jpgray]

11. It's one of those cool old faux latinate slang words

Like absquatulate. :D

A google brought this site up:
