And the winner is:

Brian!!!!!!!!!!! With his prizewinning punchline to this joke:

"Two guys came in.

The first guy ordered a sandwich.

The second guy said, "Hey you can't boss a sandwich around!"

Congratulations, Brian! You have just won the becca/Amber Joke Appreciation Award (bAJAA).

To the left is your medal. Feel free to right click and save it.

Note: No one else may save this medal except Brian, since he won. We are using the honor system here: please do not take copies of Brian's medal home with you!!!






Our first runner up is Tap, because he had a pun. "The second guy ordered an otter sandwich." He spelled it "order" but I think he meant "ordered" so I changed it without bothering to put an "order [sic]" in. Because that would be just plain annoying, and you probably wouldn't get the joke then.

This is the Second Best Subway Joke Finishing Contest Award (SBSJFCA).

Again, this medal belongs to Tap - please do not save it to your computer and then say that you won the contest. This is a very big honor. To those that say, "Man, that looks like you typed "medal" into google images and picked one of the first ones that came up! You didn't even design it yourself! In fact, it looks exactly the same as the first place medal! It's probably meant to be an award for the Siberians capturing some random city in the Philippines a million years ago! You're really cheap!", they would be right.




Our second runner up is Jesta.

"The second guy pulled his ear and told a joke:"So, two guys walk into a Subway. The first guy orders a Chicken parmesan. The second guy snorts and tells a joke: 'Two dogs walk into a food store. The first one picks up some cat food. The second one asks him "What's with the cat food?" The first dog says, "If I can't come to the cats, I'll make them come to me."'""

His punchline made sense, and it was kind of funny, but it didn't really have anything to do with the start of the joke. But it was somewhat funny, and this was a tough assignment, so I'm giving him some points. This is the "Officially Somewhat Funny Person" (OSFP) award.








Our third and final runner-up is Kaitie.

"Two guys walked into a subway. They both missed their trians because they didn't run. "

Her joke wasn't really funny (and she kind of acknowledged it as such). Let me, as a professional, point out her mistakes and the things she did right.

1. The joke didn't start with the word "subway" - it just said the guys came in, so that was an assumption. However, it was a correct assumption, so she's fine!

2. She didn't include the "the first guy ordered a sandwich" line. That's okay; comedians alter reality to whatever is most convenient for them!

3. She misspelled "trains". That's okay, though, because apparently it was a very contrived pun of the word "brian", whom Kaitie somehow knew would win this contest, and so she included a variant of his name within her joke. Very nice, Kaitie!

4. She made a pun with "subway" and "trains", relating the sandwich shop to the network of underground mass transportation systems located in New York. Wow, I bet nobody's made that connection before! Well done!

For all these things, I have granted her the certficated below, which doesn't really apply to this, but it's still a pretty nice certificate and it will make her feel good.

Your joke WAS funny! Just somewhat, though. The connection between the punchline and the beginning of the joke was too farfetched.

The editing in YOUR MOM'S post is awful! I'll edit your MOM! And she goes to college!!!!!!!

...oh and I find it completely hilarious that the medals for 1st 2nd and 3rd place all look exactly the same. ^_^
