The upcoming Guru Awards have sparked lively discussions about humor and nominations, with participants expressing a desire for more fun and creativity in the lead-up to the event. There's a consensus that humor seems to be lacking, prompting calls for members to step up their game. Chocolates are humorously suggested as bribes for nominations, and various members are playfully vying for awards, including the "Funniest Member Award." The conversation touches on the nature of humor—whether it is innate or influenced by environment—while also debating potential nominees, with names like Artman, Danger, and Tribdog frequently mentioned. Some participants express concern about the lack of strong candidates this year, suggesting that humor may have diminished. A lighthearted tone prevails, with jokes and playful banter about the awards and the potential for bribery, ensuring that the spirit of fun remains central to the discussions.

is it true that funniest member is not being voted on for lack of candidates?
 
  • #124
I think the funny member award should just have two options: Tribdog, Danger. Anyone who votes for someone else is crazy :smile:
 
  • #125
but you have to take into account I wasn't here for a few months. do you give Danger the vote because he has 50 gems out of 14432 posts or me with my 45 gems out of 49? It is a tough call. lol ok 45 out of 50 as this one sucks

You need to read Artman's & zooby's posts. Danger hasn't even been in GD for half the year. tribdog disappeared shortly after receiving his award. :devil:

I think I'm am going to put temporary stickies up for each candidate. They can place their funny posts for the past year in their threads for people to read and decide which person deserves the award.

that either doesn't say much for artman and zooby or that Danger is funnier when he doesn't speak.
I'm pretty sure we all agree I'm the most consistently funny, but I don't know that I've very many upper eschelon jokes lately and my time away has to hurt my chances (although absence seems to be helping danger)
artman sometimes comes up with something extremely funny, but when he bombs it is just as extreme.
zooby i won't talk about
The Statutory Ape has cracked me up on a couple of occasions as well, but again he can fail miserably when he wants to
I reread the first page of this post and got the feeling that humor was in short supply during that time. I wasn't around to verify the lack of humor available and haven't heard the complaint since I came back (probably a coincidence) so I don't know how true it was.
oh, and Ivan is getting to be pretty funny lately. and there was someone else but I can't quite remember who it was at the moment.
I've always thought MIH was hilarious and if this award can be given posthumously she should get it.

and he could dance.
I miss jimmyp, it is rare to find somone like him. If I could find 5 more like him I'd be the next Charles Manson. Did you know he actually built a shrine and sacrificed rubber chickens to me almost every night?
 
  • #131
No he didnt, he used to spend all his time down the local pub with me, then along came a woman and the rest is history.

Bloody good dancer when he's drunk thinks he can sing like Axl Rose aswell, and that is funny!

Wow! I make the Tribdog laugh! I can die happy now!
I tend to think making bad jokes is funny much to the groaning dismay of my peers.

And I agree, MIH is definitely a good candidate for nomination.

MIH has been nominated, she is very funny. :biggrin:

Darn I can't give away who all the nominees are, I haven't received enough chocolate yet. :shy:

Yes, that is the problem with tribdog and Danger both being absent so much of the year...there's been a serious gap in the chocolate shipments. That is, unless we count the chocolate shipments that yomamma has been sending with Danger's credit card in Danger's favor. :rolleyes:

Don't forget I was here at the beginning of the year as well. And also don't forget that if I lose I'll pout. and also don't forget that the winner represents PF for an entire year as the ambassador of what PFers think is funny. That label will be next to EVERY one of their posts. Example
Danger Funny Guru of PF:I don't know why I never, until this post, realized how much those little buggers look like exploding clams.
it'll be on your conscience
If you want to see a little head to head between danger and the CURRENT Comedy Guru I'd suggest the following thread

But you were very UNfunny at the beginning of the year. Despite all your campaign promises, you got your pink ribbon, ran off to celebrate, and then turned all serious...court...blah blah chocolate[/size] blah...jail...blah blah chocolate[/size] blah...blowing up mountains...okay, that had humor potential, but I never did see that mushroom cloud in the news that I was expecting.

Sorry I thought the act of ripping my heart out and kicking it under the couch gave you enough laughs to last all year
 
  • #138
wow and I thought that was just a giant dust bunny!

Gee Moonbear, do you remember when tribdog returned recently and announced that he realized being gone all year disqualified him from this year's contest and that he wasn't considering running anyway? Hmmmm?

Not really, but I do still get a chuckle when I look at that jar next to the pickled onions. :biggrin:

hey! you can't expect me to follow whatever comes out of my mouth. Just because I said it doesn't mean I believe it
You don't scare me anyway Evo, I know I've got your vote.

I don't know about that. I heard rumors that she was running the Artman campaign this year.

Maybe I need to select the candidates endorsed by the Sex Party again this year. Since we had a nearly clean sweep of the categories last year, maybe I should select some of the underdogs this year and test my political theory that having a party affiliation, especially one with sex appeal, is all it takes to win an election. :biggrin:

when can I place my advertising banners?

:smile: You have to wait for the candidates to be announced. Oh, and just ignore Artman when he tells you the Genco families control the campaign ad sales.
 
  • #146
can you tell me the price for a flash banner and popup? maybe my sloga, "appreciate yomamma" (thanks to sloganizer) above the baner?
 
  • #147
appreciate yomamma
but vote tribdog
 
  • #148
Did i win yet
 
  • #149
I obviously didn't, you came back.

I think I could make a PF themed christmas light setup...
